Sabotage - Gang Starr

«I want the public to know.

what goes on»

«I mean, look at the situation — be real»

The names have been changed to protect the innocent

Each step is intricate, I rep magnificent

Knew this kid named Ronnie, used to make cash with Caesar

They made a lot of money back in the 80's crack fever

Caesar was an overachiever, a kingpin and 18-and-a-half

He got knocked and left Ronnie to watch the team and the stash

Plus his crib, his jewels, his whip and his girl

And Ronnie’s self-interests had him livin' in a different world

He rocked Caesar’s chains, he pushed Caesar’s Range

Smokin' mad wools all day, with Caesar’s change

Not to mention he pushed up on Caesar’s wifey

A move like that my man, extremely sheisty

It all got back to Caesar in the bing

They found Ronnie’s body in the playground by the swings

Anyone can get it, for sure it don’t matter dawg

Especially when a nigga tries commitin' sabotage

«There ain’t nobody to trust»

«It's got me ready.

ready.

ready.

ready.

ready to bust»

«It's like sabotage, there ain’t nobody to trust»

««It's like sabotage»

«It's got me ready.

ready.

ready.

ready.

ready to bust»

Treachery, deception, it’s best to keep a weapon

When you think that they be breddren, they underhand your plan

It’s over for the cowardly, we grow more potent hourly

I’m knowin' where the power be, I’m schemin' to get even

Dissension can occur from within one’s ranks

The chain can be weakened, by just one link

Pricks be galavantin' from one crew to the next

Musical click-ass niggas catch two to the chest

My usual guess is that they choose to digress

Disillusioned by greed, causin' you to distress

Just do what’s best, clean house, leave out

Them punks can’t touch what they can’t peep out

See I’m a raw nigga, and like my pops I’m a lawgiver

Can’t throw a wrench in my game, I’m a boss figure

Take you under my wing, it don’t matter God

Dead you if you try to commit, sabotage

Rise for me now, kneel for me now

Time to pass judgment, can’t feel for you now

Lay in your bed, accept your fate

Try to clean it up, accept you’re late

From the streets to the industry, peep the chemistry

It’s GangStarr shit, makin' a livin' see

We put it on and when it’s war it’s war

Sabotage’ll have me dumpin' the four

«There ain’t nobody to trust»

««It's like sabotage»
