Gang Starr - No Shame In My Game

As I deliver rhymes with ease and walk around with my head up I'm dead up serious so don't be getting too curious Motherfuckers always wanna know what makes me tick I'll pull a phrase out quick 'cause I'm dipped and I'm slick You thought that I would slip 'cause you seen me drinking forty's It shocked you then you told your friends you saw me Well say what you want 'cause all of mine is in tact In fact I'll have you open like a hookers gap I like to catch a buzz 'cause I get into the beats more Mc's are washed up like dead fish on the seashore Save the talk 'cause you know I walk that walk Hitting city to city but I make my home in new york I know the time with this rap shit 'cause they got it all backwards They need to take a hint or catch my microphone imprint Straight to the dome through the skull to the tissue Call me guru I'll diss you if you're pressing the issue Not my style to be sweatin' all the stupid ass rumors I take it as a compliment and fuck you too If you're scheming on the chance to put a stain on my name Don't even think about it 'cause ain't no shame in my game No shame in my game Stick to the subject I ain't afraid to be real A lot of mc's fake hard just to gain appeal I like some gangster rap, don't like the prankster crap So I get passed all that by kicking straight up facts There ain't no reason to shoot unless you got beef If you pull out and you don't use it than you may catch grief Toolies and techs ain't toys but kids got 'em today And if they're ready to spray best get the fuck out the way [ From: ] I try keeping my sanity by thinking of better times If I write clever rhymes then maybe I'll climb But what the hell's success if the mess ain't changing 50's still corrupt stupid gangs still bangin' Stick up kids still stickin' nasty hookers still trickin' All the pimps still pimpin' and all the crackheads trippin' While the dealers still sellin' so I'll refrain from the yellin' And the preachin' 'cause who the fuck would I reach man Niggaz don't wanna stop that, they wanna live fat Who'd wanna clean up their act when the papes come in stacks They live for the minute and they're all wrapped up in it It's an unfortunate state for many it's too late Now death stalks the streets and it's right at your gate So bug, lose your mind but I ain't goin' insane I'll kick the fly lyrics 'cause ain't no shame in my game No shame in my game Life's a bitch so who are we to judge each other I know I got faults I ain't the only motherfucker Stuff I heard about you wasn't too cool you know Like how you smoke wools and that your girl's a ho But I don't listen to shit unless the story's legit Knuckleheads need to quit 'cause they be riding the dilsnick But I'll be taking care of business regardless And when it comes to rhyming you know I'm hitting hardest So you can kick dirt but in the end you'll feel pain You little sucker, there ain't no shame in my game
