(Phife from "Check the Rhime")Now
here`s a funky introduction
(scratching)

Guru: chorus 1(2X):
It`s ALONGWAYTOGO, when you don`t know where
you`re going
You don`t know where you`re going when you`re
lost (lost)

Guru:
What you need is more direction and get yourself
some protection
I thought by now that you have learned your
lesson
I`m stressin points and slammin all joints you
call the real shit
Correct shit, you know the busta way you feel
shit
Baby, I still don`t think you understand
You lose the game, we get more props than
Dan...Rather
And it don`t matter cuz when you flinch, you`re
weak
So I`mma step just to speak about the
counterfeit, unlegit type of people
Those cellophane ones, the ones that you can see
through
It`s poetic justice cuz I`m mad with a pact
So precise, my insight will take flight in the
night
And in the daytime, cuz I don`t come up with
corny rhymes
I`m too devoted to the concept of gettin mine
So here`s the deal like Shaquille O`Neal
If you don`t know what you`re doing, how the hell
can you be real?

chorus 2 (2X):
(scratching)(Q-Tip from "Check the
Rhime")How far must you go to gain
respect? Um...

Guru:
Now in `93, realistically you should be...well
aware of all the evils out
there
It`s like a jungle sometimes. You get the
message?
You got to rumble sometimes, it`s gettin hectic
Emotions run deep, as times run out
Solutions...it`s time to find some out
So according to me, suckers are barred
>From obstructing my discussion cuz I rhyme
too hard
You take a wiff like a spliff here, like some
fresh air
I came to claim sh*t this year (this year)
So take a stroll down the walkway, or hallway, or
runway
f**k with us, kid, you`ll pay
I slay...and yo, I`m still on the expressway
I kick my essay, then you know we don`t play
So pray down on your knees, G
Cuz it`s the best way, yes, the best way, cuz...

chorus 1 (2X):

chorus 2 (2X):

Guru:
There`s a large amount of wack crews. For them, I
got bad news
Time to pay your dues, you fools
I`m like express mail, with the script that hits
Like the third rail, when I shock the spot, it`s
hot
>From the rays of the sun
Original one the prophet sent to become
A law giver, cuz you shiver when I quiz ya
All about the real neccessities of life
All about the game and all about the name
G to the A to the N to the G Starr
We know who we are, but do you know who you are?
(Richard Pryor: You go down there looking for
justice, that`s what you
find, just us)

chorus 1: (4X)

chorus 2: (4X)

(scratching) Um... (until end)
