Take A Rest Lyrics - Gangstarr

"Now what you hear is not a test" --> Sugarhill Gang 

(cut up 4X by DJ Premier) 

(Guru) 

Well goodness gracious, let me just take this 

time out to pull a rhyme out, and update this 

For you and yours, simply because 

Some MC's have luck but suck 

So I pluck em like feathers on the back of a chicken 

Cause I'm mad like a pit when my man says, "sick 'em" 

Positive is the mindstate, but it could still mean that 

I will kick a ill, malicious like mean rap 

Suckers they forced me, to knock em all out and 

They think they know things, like what I'm about and 

They try to analyze criticize scandalize 

The outcome is death, don't ask me to sympathize 

Realize, that I'm not to be played with 

I'll flip so fast, you won't know I'm the same kid 

I'm tired and fed, with all the weak stuff said 

All the phony-baloney, that went out like Pro-Keds 

You've got no leads, so you shoot blanks 

It's me the crowd thanks as I step to the top ranks 

Bankin my money, and investin it wisely 

Snatchin up chumps when they try to sneak by me 

I'm the dominant one, call me the prominant one 

And as I'm speakin I'll be bombin the dumb 

deaf and blind cause I was born with a sharp mind 

Eatin MC's with ease like it's lunchtime 

or crunchtime, when they get done without warning 

I'll bust that butt from nighttime til morning 

Your song's boring, and so I'm scoring 

much points cause when it's time to throw joints 

I cause havoc, the mic I grab is like savage 

I invade the stage, and make you get off 

The force is like a three-eight, blowin your head off 

And that's just in case you might be wearin a vest 

Cause you're simply a pest in this mess I suggest you 

"Take a rest"

"If this meaning doesn't manifest, put it to rest" --> KRS-One 

(DJ Premier cuts 2X) 

(Guru) 

Don't ever sleep son, peep one or two of these lines here 

Arranged by a great brain, delivering rhymes clear 

and concise with a nice dope voice and 

killin the fakes like a taste of some poison 

Punks are thinkin they're alla that, their voices are all flat 

They're findin their names, in a Wack Rapper's Almanac 

Me follow that hollow crap, no way Jose 

I'll seek out a better sound, to somethin Premier plays 

Days will go by, and soon you'll know why 

MC's like me will rise like the Enterprise 

Starship, headin straight for the target 

Destination, a place where no perpetration 

is permitted, the Guru is with it to explain 

How some MC's are scared to ride on a Four train 

Or any other train in the city, for that matter 

Playin a role that they stole like a batter 

But I know they ain't so I'll paint the real picture 

My vocals go solo and like a bolo I'll hitcha 

square in your face I'll crack your ribs and your chest 

Cause you thought your off-brand jam was the best 

You fessed cause you guessed people would be impressed 

I'm gonna bust that bubble on the double "take a rest" 

(DJ Premier cuts "take a rest" for the) 

(Guru) 

Sit back and reflect, ponder and chill out 

Rhymes like daggers make blood spill out 

But you can't blame me, for bringin disaster 

With all these ducks, claimin that they're the masters 

Only thing they mastered, is how to get wacker 

As I roll uphill, they roll downhill faster 

Now they're wondering how they lost their touch 

Wanna buy my rhymes but mine cost too much 

I'm the innovative one, call me the creative one 

and I won't stop til the job is done 

All the slobs just run when I come to get some 

Cause they know better, than to challenge this go-getter 

They get bust you can trust cause I won't let a 

booty-ass rapper get wins against me? 

I guarantee that I won't act friendly 

Cause crabs have a nerve and deserve to get whipped on 

Their girls get kissed on, while they get flipped on 

I slaughter and slay, or slap em up quick 

Cause the lyrics they kick make me seriously sick 

No substance, no value, but nevertheless 

They're gettin daytime play but I still say they should "take a rest" 

(DJ Premier cuts "take a rest" for four bars, then song fades)
