where it's dueI'm heated up, cause I'm seein folks that are so phony
They didn't know me when I was broke and I was lonely
Only a few came to check me, so they come first....
and yo our people come next GWe'd go to a club, the Milky Way or the PaydayThe outlaw spots, where the music was real hot
And you wasn't there, when the underrated, real MC'scame equipped..
and used to kick slick lyrics
All live, without no lipsync
To a dope crate, building skills from instinctI'm tired of people, gettin all excitedI'm not trippin on just a thing, but I'm delightedto let you know, that some others be flim-flamminI'll let you know, that all this time, we been jammin
So give up the props Hobbes, jealousy's a flaw
If the next man deserves it, earns it, it should be law
So let him pass right through
Because you got to give the credit y'all where it is due* DJ Premier cuts up "give it to me" *[Guru]You know you got to give the credit..
where it is due
Give the credit y'all..
where it's due
Give the credit..

Give the credit y'all..

Some of the dopest MC's don't really get enough light
Cause their record companies don't really market them right
Most of the people signin acts, they ain't from the street
Cause yo they come from the sweet....
soft section of town
While they be sweatin and pretendin that they know a real rap sound
But I know some guys, and some ladies, that can fill those spots mateto promote the real greatsand educate, and get it straight
And mobilizin the imitators, exposin the explosive core
I hope to exploregalaxies of remedies for your wack rap sicknessas I convey relay, mack rap quickness
In this business, I witness trickyness
Some MC's are into stickyness
But I'm sayin this, from experience, I'm furious
I didn't get this far overnight, and there's nothin likethe real thing, the real swing right? (real swing right?)("
On and on.." -> Biz) I'm takin things that are true
So won't you give the credit y'all where it is due* DJ Premier cuts up "give it to me" *[Guru]So yo I'm fed, cause people like to talk too muchThey're misled, and yo they like to sqwak too much
But let me tell you baby you can't front on thistwenty-four track mix, with the deep-ass kick
The objective, is to surely demolishthe chances of the wack takin all the dollars
Support the brothers who are truly gifted
This way, the odds, could never be shifted
Like my man, you know he works real hardHe's good at what he does and now he lives real large
So why envy him, or anyone in his crew
Just sit back and give the credit y'all where it is due
Give the credit..
where it's due
Give the credit y'all..
where it is due
Give the credit..
where it's due
Just give the credit y'all..

Gang Starr is a hip hop duo formed in New York City in 1987 by Guru (Keith Edward Elam) and DJ Premier (Edward Barnes). After some initial releases with other members, the duo established themselves as one of the most influential forces in the New York hip hop scene. Their music, characterized by Guru's introspective lyrics and DJ Premier's complex and innovative beats, helped define the sound of East Coast hip hop in the 1990s. Some of their most representative tracks include "Mass Appeal", "Just to Get By" and "Above the Clouds". Gang Starr released eight studio albums, including the gold-certified "Hard to Earn" (1994) and the acclaimed "Moment of Truth" (1998). The group disbanded in 2003 with Guru's death.
