Gang Starr - Bless The Mic Lyrics






Everything changing nowadays, man
Kids got technology and the rap music
I mean, I like rap music, I ain't gon' lie
I like rap music, man, I like some of it, man
But I don't think you gon' see, like, rap reunions 20 years from now
I don't think you're gonna see a 50-year-old rapper
[*coughs*] "How ya like me now?"

("Bless the mic for the gods")

When it's concerning these bars, I'm leaving permanent scars
On you half-ass rappers, you ain't earnin' it, pa
So come to my class, then I can son you real fast
Just 'cause you comin' with cash, you still a wannabe ass
I get chicks state to state, offer me face from the gate
'Cause the sound of my voice makes their juices marinate
As opposed to those with mediocre prose
Wet you from head to toe, and watch you soak in your clothes

It's the lessons in the song that makes you rock on
Some people go to places where they don't belong
Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight
But I'm here to bless this mic ("Bless the mic for the gods")
It's the lessons in the song that makes you rock on
Some people go to places where they don't belong
Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight
But I'm here to bless this mic ("Bless the mic...")

Now, why'd they try to pull a plug on a brother?
Pull the rug from a brother?
Catch a slug from the toolie of a gun-lovin' brother
Violence, wylin', whatever, they know
The more rappers come, the quicker they go
This underground is mine, might even see me in a hoop'
Switch to a droptop coupe—why you cock blockin', dukes?
Baldhead Slick, I represent my clique
I got my little man loadin' the ammo, this shit is sick

It's the lessons in the song that makes you rock on
Some people go to places where they don't belong
Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight
But I'm here to bless this mic ("Bless the mic for the gods")
It's the lessons in the song that makes you rock on
Some people go to places where they don't belong
Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight
But I'm here to bless this mic ("Bless the mic for the gods")

("Bless the mic for the gods")
("Gang Starr has got to be the sure shot")

    this album is simply bliss in this day n age... For me... hands-down the best album to grace my ears in 2019. A homage and an instant (real) hip hop classic.

  6. I.... G....

    I can't stop listening to this, the whole album is pure magic but this track is just next level. So much love for everyone who made this happen.

    かつてさんざん聞いた4作目を思い出した。

  10. k.... ....

    I HEAR GURUS VOICE, I HIT LIKE! THIS ALBUM IS A TRUE BLESSING+

  11. m.... ....

    This reminds me of Jeru so much. This track is amazing

  12. J.... V....

    Best album of the era 4Real!!! Rip 4ever Guru!

  13. l.... b....

    I have no words to describe this whole album. Went threw it to fast this really brought a tear to my eye wish they had Mos def on this would've been gangstarr x BlackStarr

  14. L.... ....

    Rest in peace Guru. My favorite emcee. Your bars truly enlightened me. Thanks for healing us Prem once again from these dumb ass mumble rappers. You deserve a special place in Heaven for this. Much love!!! Can't wait to see Jeru on the beats ;)

    L.... ....

    Man. If him and Jeru made another its classic written all over it. I miss our shit

  15. T.... M....

    Simply the best. A master piece in execution on every level. One of the best....... Period 🔥🙌

  16. C.... H....

    Keep this on repeat.

  17. c.... ....

    my favorite one of the album <3

  18. L.... L....

    doooooooope

  19. C.... M....

    dope!! who's voice is on opening - stand up comedian?

    C.... M....

    Pretty sure it's Richard Pryor

  20. M.... W....

    WOW & WOW ..Have this on Repeat!!! Best New Hip Hop Song I Heard in Years!!! Gang Starr For Life!! Respect to Guru, DJ Premier & Real Hip Hop!!! ..

  21. R.... ....

    This shit so hard!!!!!!!

  22. V.... A....

    Who knows who did the 50-year-old rapper joke at the beginning?

    V.... A....

    Richard Pryor

    V.... A....

    @Erik Owens Thanks. That makes the intro even more epic. Preemo is legendary in his sampling...

  23. g.... ....

    Beautiful but haunting tune , mysterious , Like a still Wind asking a questions like : WHAT IF ..and what happened . It has the familiar , old pain of both acceptance and yet disbelief of what cannot possibly be , but will forever wonder . A feeling of finality but at the same something remains ... and you don't know which is more haunting , that which is gone or that which remains .

    g.... ....

    Perfect description of how I feel about this joint....that wind may be creepy...but dammit...its funky

    g.... ....

    @Genghis Khan 36 yeah I love it... I think it's the real masterpiece

    g.... ....

    But the weird thing is some of the music that came out in the past few years by Blueprint has that slightly haunting eerie quality .... and it would be interesting if he could collaborate with DJ Premier because Bueprint reminds me of GURU .

  24. S.... P....

    Giving me Common - Resurrection vibe!!!

  25. I.... T....

    Oli 4 my ear!

  26. D.... C....

    We miss you...
    Rest in peace Guru.
    Love from Italy <3

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  30. D.... C....

    A good time to be alive . Such an dope ending for such an monumental LP. Peace out from germany

  31. R.... ....

    *God Bless Guru!* 🙏

  32. I.... M....

    Gangstarr 4Ever !

  33. h.... 9....

    No longer a Rza or Premo debate after this album. 2019 release with 1995 quality all over it.

    h.... 9....

    I don't think that's a real debate, I LOVE wu tang but rzas best beat in years was that nas track "tanasia" mathematics is better than rza

    h.... 9....

    @getstrongby40 yep. Rza hasnt done shit for us since 97. But from 93 to 97. Fuck

  34. B.... B....

    Guru killed it on this joint yell

  35. y.... ....

    Gang Starr, among the greatest legacies in hip-hop. Premier, Guru, and all the collaborators doing justice on this album. Love, love, love it. The chain and the star forever!

  36. A.... W....

    Anyone who dislike gangstarr is a mumble rapper forreal....

  37. A.... W....

    Love gangstarr since moment of truth baby!!!!!

  38. A.... ....

    This sounds like A Jazz Thing rmx

  39. W.... o....

    I don't think I have a smile like this since I first heard Moment of Truth.

    W.... o....

    This is a special album. Like u said cant remember the last time an album made me smile.

    W.... o....

    @haild 95 Hit the nail on the head brother

    W.... o....

    @Worker of Lead It probably was moment of truth. To me that was the last album before hiphop just spiraled to death. I haven't heard anything even close to this album since then. Maybe HNIC. But the point is its been an easy 15 years. Ownerz was good but i like this album better because of everything Premo did to make this happen for us

    W.... o....

    @haild 95 I refer to Moment of Truth as the pinnacle of Hip-hop. Common came close with BE, Mos put his best foot forward and in my eyes came close to goal with the The Estatic but Moment of Truth is "The Truth"

  40. l.... l....

    Shit was solo tight!!! Gang star music reminds you how a little bit ( dope d.j. & fly m.c.) is all you really need in hip hop.

  41. b.... ....

    One Of The Best Yet....Will Go Down In History as the Best Of All Time......Its The Message In The Song! Take Heed!

  42. A.... ....

    A voice I truly miss in Hip-Hop!

  43. L.... M....

    Could listen to this all day. Fire. RIP Guru top 5 dead or alive.

  44. D.... ....

    As a long time fan, this beat is trash.

  45. C.... ....

    Premo knows how to make it feel like 1994 lol

    C.... ....

    Straight the fuck up. This is time machine type shit. Beautiful

  46. j.... ....

    eargasmic tears flow from my body like english flows from the mouth of guru & like beats flow from the core of dj premier. in other words, i'm really fuckin' happy.

  47. M.... S....

    This is a great way to end gang starr as good a conclusion as thank you 4 your service by tribe

  48. T.... W....

    Thanks Primo for letting us enjoy that Gemini, aka Bald Head Slick...the goat....

  67. R.... B....

    Rich Pryor was wrong

  68. C.... ....

    Seriously though, this the best song on the album and Premier's best beat in years! Wish Nas would've had a guest appearance on this, fits him perfectly!

    C.... ....

    I truly believe that nas has insecurities about rapping over premier's and large pro's beats. Their style perfectly complement his flow. EVERY song that they produce for him are classics and deep down I think it bothers him. lol. And all those dj vlad comments about nas being the worst beat picker don't help either. I wish they would all put their egos aside and give us a guaranteed nas classic album produced entirely by primo and large pro.

    C.... ....

    @Mr T Raa Nas just dont give a f like rza dont give a f about giving wu his real beats

    C.... ....

    @haild 95 Pretty much.
