Credit Is Due Lyrics - Gangstarr

* originally the b side to "love sick" off of +step in the arena+ 

 

now i'm about to get funky. to somethin that premier plays 

funky. we gonna do it this way 

i'm gettin funky. to somethin that premier plays 

i'm the guru and we'll do it this way 

now give the credit. where it is due 

give the credit y'all. where it's due 

now give the credit. where it is due 

give the credit y'all. where it's due 

I'm heated up, cause i'm seein folks that are so phony 

they didn't know me when i was broke and i was lonely 

only a few came to check me, so they come first. 

. and yo our people come next g 

we'd go to a club, the milky way or the payday 

the outlaw spots, where the music was real hot 

and you wasn't there, when the underrated, real mc's 

came equipped. and used to kick slick lyrics 

all live, without no lipsync 

to a dope crate, building skills from instinct 

i'm tired of people, gettin all excited 

i'm not trippin on just a thing, but i'm delighted 

to let you know, that some others be flim-flammin 

i'll let you know, that all this time, we been jammin 

so give up the props hobbes, jealousy's a flaw 

if the next man deserves it, earns it, it should be law 

so let him pass right through 

because you got to give the credit y'all where it is due 

* dj premier cuts up "give it to me" *

you know you got to give the credit. where it is due 

give the credit y'all. where it's due 

give the credit. where it is due 

give the credit y'all. where it's due 

Some of the dopest mc's don't really get enough light 

cause their record companies don't really market them right 

most of the people signin acts, they ain't from the street 

cause yo they come from the sweet. 

. soft section of town 

while they be sweatin and pretendin that they know a real rap sound 

but i know some guys, and some ladies, that can fill those spots mate 

to promote the real greats 

and educate, and get it straight 

and mobilizin the imitators, exposin the explosive core 

i hope to explore 

galaxies of remedies for your wack rap sickness 

as i convey relay, mack rap quickness 

in this business, i witness trickyness 

some mc's are into stickyness 

but i'm sayin this, from experience, i'm furious 

i didn't get this far overnight, and there's nothin like 

the real thing, the real swing right? (real swing right?) 

("on and on." -> biz) i'm takin things that are true 

so won't you give the credit y'all where it is due 

* dj premier cuts up "give it to me" * 

 

so yo i'm fed, cause people like to talk too much 

they're misled, and yo they like to sqwak too much 

but let me tell you baby you can't front on this 

twenty-four track mix, with the deep-ass kick 

the objective, is to surely demolish 

the chances of the wack takin all the dollars 

support the brothers who are truly gifted 

this way, the odds, could never be shifted 

like my man, you know he works real hard 

he's good at what he does and now he lives real large 

so why envy him, or anyone in his crew 

just sit back and give the credit y'all where it is due 

Give the credit. where it's due 

give the credit y'all. where it is due 

give the credit. where it's due 

just give the credit y'all. where it is due
