Gang Starr - The Rep Grows Bigga Lyrics
You do your first bid and dirt to get your name knownYou never talk too much to get your spot blownNow youre no longer just a face in the crowdYoure gettin so much respect that niggaz might as well bowAnd movin up with your hustle like you planned itRakin dough like the worlds greatest banditAlways got one eye open, for the stick-up kids postinSo much cream chumps they cant understand itLadies flock to your jock like its goldenCurious, to test the weight you be holdinBut you aint got no time, to be chasin felinesIf shes the chick that you pick then she gets chosenPeople treat you like youre ghetto royaltyAnd all your staff shows you utmost loyaltyYou paid your dues, refuse to lose in this scenarioThe rep grows bigga, youre a legend and a heroYour fame has gotten larger than your lifeYouve got a harem of *****es and killer niggaz thats hypeThey got your back, but you so fly you dont need emYou shit what youre eatin so you dont peep the proceedingsThey start schemeing, feeling that youre too swollenAnd thats the reason why your cash and stash gets stolenYou start perspiring, because youre paranoidStill another confrontation that you couldnt avoidPrepare for drama, as if you were a stunt manBack in the days you was a forty and a blunt manToday youre a willie, now the weathers too chillyNew york city aint the place to be frontinOver your shoulders day and nights where you lookYour so-called fam ran a scam, and you got shookGo back to square one, better go talk to your sonSee reps grow bigga in the life of a crookYears ago, we were new jacks to this sceneShowed some effort, made fat records, but still saw no greenKnow what I mean? they tried to stifle usNigga you could not believe how really ill and trife it wasFed up so we headed on a serious missionWishin, that we could better our positionTwo businessmen, guru and prim, we enterprisedToo strong to be stepped on, creatively wiseThe dedicated ministers of underground soundWhen were doin our thing, you know we dont ***** aroundNo matter how bizarre and different you think you areYour team wouldnt dream of competeing with gangstarrPremier in the rear with the beats and cutsAnd guru with the mic ready to tear shit upTake us out the game nigga? how you figure?The name is well kept, and the rep just gets bigga
