From a Distance

[Verse 1: Guru]

It's King Equality with lines cocked back to add on

Word to everything, that's what I put that on

Yo, I sat on the sidelines, watched you foolish men

Fake hooligans, now it's time for us to duel again

Yeah, it's me, takin' you savages to school again

I rule again, women are preparin' my food again

I'm like the imperial bandit, stackin' my loot again

Ancient warrior, street fighter, contemporary

Intelligent comrade, enemies I've been sent to bury

You see me at seminars, clubs and bars

I own this shit, rollin' with gangsters, thugs with scars

You see me from a distance, tryin' to analyze the righteous

Caught a scandal and a crisis from this vandalous psychic

Government name Keith Elam, put in work per diem

Still a fly-ass nigga, a magnetic human being

B-A-L-D-head to the Slick, I'm wettin' 'em quick

[Chorus]

You are now rockin' with the best

Gang Starr

The God Universal Ruler Universal

I came to give you exactly what you asked for here

You are now rockin' with the best

Gang Starr

The God Universal Ruler Universal

Doin' a whole lot up in these streets

[Verse 2: Jeru the Damaja]

Well, it's the Justice Equality Ruler Universal

Carefree, sun see, light speed react nuclear thermal

Three-hundred-sixty degrees, we comin' full circle

Open the portal, now you witness God's immortal verbals

Shinin' light infinitely like the cosmos is

Modern science would define this rhyme as osmosis

Go through your faction or sect, we're laser beam focused

You see, if rap was a crime, we'd be on Wanted posters

Keith, we kinda like the team that killed the White Lotus

My feet firm in the ground and Guru on my shoulders

Deep concentration is the formulation at begin

Poison pen, maestro chop the violin

I try to stop but my mind keep firin'

Try to advance, you hear them ambulance sirens

You ain't get it? Here's the summation

Nigga, fuck what you heard, it's Gang Starr Foundation

[Chorus]

You are now rockin' with the best

Gang Starr

The God Universal Ruler Universal

I came to give you exactly what you asked for here

You are now rockin' with the best

Gang Starr

The God Universal Ruler Universal

Doin' a whole lot up in these streets
