Gang Starr - From A Distance Lyrics
It's King Equality with lines cocked back to add on
Word to everything, that's what I put that on
Yo, I sat on the sidelines, watched you foolish men
Fake hooligans, now it's time for us to duel again
Yeah, it's me, takin' you savages to school again
I'm like the imperial bandit, stackin' my loot again
Ancient warrior, street fighter, contemporary
Intelligent comrade, enemies I've been sent to bury
You see me at seminars, clubs and bars
I own this shit, rollin' with gangsters, thugs with scars
You see me from a distance, tryin' to analyze the righteous
Caught a scandal and a crisis from this vandalous psychic
Government name Keith Elam, put in work per diem
Still a fly-ass nigga, a magnetic human being
B-A-L-D-head to the Slick, I'm wettin' 'em quick
("You are now rockin' with the best")
("Gang Starr")
("The God Universal Ruler Universal")
("I came to give you exactly what you asked for here")
("You are now rockin' with the best")
("Gang Starr")
("The God Universal Ruler Universal")
("Doin' a whole lot up in these streets")
Well, it's the Justice Equality Ruler Universal
Carefree, sun see, light speed react nuclear thermal
Three-hundred-sixty degrees, we comin' full circle
Open the portal, now you witness God's immortal verbals
Shinin' light infinitely like the cosmosis
Modern science would define this rhyme as osmosis
Go through your faction or sect, we're laser beam focused
You see, if rap was a crime, we'd be on Wanted posters
Keith, we kinda like the team that killed the White Lotus
My feet firm in the ground and Guru on my shoulders
Deep concentration is the formulation at begin
Poison pen, maestro chop the violin
I try to stop but my mind keep firin'
Try to advance, you hear them ambulance sirens
You ain't get it? Here's the summation
Nigga, fuck what you heard, it's Gang Starr Foundation
("You are now rockin' with the best")
("Gang Starr")
("The God Universal Ruler Universal")
("I came to give you exactly what you asked for here")
("You are now rockin' with the best")
("Gang Starr")
("The God Universal Ruler Universal")
("Doin' a whole lot up in these streets")

I know I'm a couple months late but this album is amazing. It's 5 🎤s, it's a hiphop classic and the best album of the year 2020 no DOUBT! Even if it was released last year in November. Thank you so much Premo! You still the best DJ ever! Much love on this album and it brings me eternal joy!
Anyone know who says "you are now rockin with the best"?
It was a Heather B snippet from some radio spot. Preme was talking about in Sway In The Morning, and Heather B was there.
Got to come back here for my Gang Starr fix ... always feels like coming home
It's crazy to think the rappers we grew up listening to in the 90' s are dead or out the game
Hearing Jeru The Damaja over Preemo after all these years.... this is just amazing.
Nostalgic af ⭐️

Fk man!!! Thank you Preemo! Guru and jeru on a new track over a preemo beat in 2019... jeru still spittin 🔥🔥🔥🔥
jeru killed it !!!! much love
Such a great album, saw Jeru do this track last week!
I met Guru on 8th St in Manhattan. I was cutting school with my boys. I was Starstruck. & I met JayZ, & LL Cool J & wasn't even star struck by them, just GURU. Funny thing is we like 12 deep, while cutting School & your GURU got honest about us cutting school, that it was wrong. We appreciated that we were fans but told us, don't let the system break us, they want us to cut, to do better for a better future. And that made us like him more. We will always honor GURU'S Legacy & words, it was so profitable & important! GURU A LIVIN LEGEND, HE COMES TO LIFE WHEN WE PRESS PLAY'! 4LIFE..
'GURU AIN'T DEAD, HE COMES TO LIFE WEN WE PRESS PLAY'!
I miss the GOD MC. PEACE.
Hiphop don't stop
TRUE HIPHOP FUCK MODERN SHITBAG MUMBLEJUMBLE BEATS
