As I Read My S-A

(DJ Premier scratches "at this time I have the honor to present to you")

[Verse 1: Guru]

Paragraphs, portraying my viewpoint

So stay attentive, cause this is a new joint

From the G-A-N-G with the info

Lyrical elements emerge from the intro

Forming a poetic mass over pathetic trash

Other writers are outclassed

Surpassed by the words and the wit

Rhymes fit and hit cause that's how we designed it

Page for page, we are the new age

Dope in the videos and dope when we're on stage

Commanding respect with my ink pen while suckers are sinking

As I'm keeping them thinking

Narrating phrases of value, and I can see now you

Relate to what I create

From back in the days of my youth, I've looked for the truth

And yo my rhymes are the real proof

New heights and new realms have been reached

By use of my speech along with one of Premier's beats

So listen and we'll show you the best way

And then sway, as I read my S-A

(DJ Premier cuts and scratches again)

[Verse 2: Guru]

Worshipful words giving insight, so just be observant

So you can get this right

My oratory gift is abundant, so dazzling to minds

That you should come get

A glimpse of the one who puts wimps out of work

The script is a mess and they dress like they're jerks

Beyond them, is where I'll be dwellin

The Guru will tell em, why their records ain't sellin

Placin my fingers on the tool, I runaway all fools

When I'm dispersin a verse

Think of an enjoyable moment, then boogie your body

Cause this party I own it

The origin of this is on paper

Vibes will ascend from my mind to each line

I go with the flow as I show expertise

The powers increase as my voice hits the streets

Then gripping your soul with authority

I pour these rhymes in a cup so drink up

And then I might bring another round

Watch the sound pound from the floor to the ground

And keep aware, cause we'll show you the best way

And then sway, as I read my S-A
