GANG STARR
"Gusto"
(Keith Elam / Chris Martin)

Keith E.E. emcee on a spree I'm goin' for this
'Cause draws applause, yes I adore this
I'll reteach with speech, I can accomplish
I've got to flaunt this, I'm not a pessimist
Yo I'm an optimist, that's why I'm droppin' this
I'm good I got style, 'cause I've stood for a while
In the shadows of the others gettin' mellow with the brothers
Called the Gang, and yes I can hang
Progressin with my lesson while I do my thang

I've got gusto
"My man gots that gusto" "Word"
[2x]

You say your rhymes flow, I say I'm spontaneous
Rockin' the place, I'm not mainly just
Sayin' some words that are weak or incoherent
And it's apparent, that you fear us, the Gang
But I'm still a peace seeker
I'm in your face, don't have to sneak ya
Dope rhymes speaking with wisdom of a preacher
And I'm here, 'cause you've been victimized
I'm sincere, I see through gifted eyes
So yo, we're gonna see what the race is
That's where you groups, will have to face us
And you can bet we'll be in tip-top shape
Nice so precise with a hip-hop update
Wait, I got a shoutout for the ladies
Come check me baby, don't underrate me
'Cause I'm a man with the plan for all
The Guru, to groove you, get out the wall

I've got gusto
"My man gots that gusto" "Word"
[2x]

I've got gusto, so I'm kickin it well
I got gusto, with much clientele
So I pump it, to a higher decibel
Have a seat, listen 'cause the rest it goes smooth
And improve and bust a move
I am the man with the true blue potential
I am essential, I drive you mental and back
Attack mack and rap
And as you calm I will romp
Like a giant I stomp

I've got gusto
"My man gots that gusto" "Word"
[2x]

Really? Right, you wanna be a emcee?
Then go against me - boy don't even tempt me
'Cause I go house on the freestyle tip
Math you and blast you and then just shift
Into hype gear, no fear, I persevere
Year after year, rehearsin verse so clear
'Cause I've been into rhymin man for like eons
And every stage, word I wanna be on
So I can show you how it's gotta be done
I never run or shun, I've just begun

I've got gusto
"My man gots that gusto" "Word"
[2x]

...

"My man gots that gusto" "Word"
[2x]

Ah yeah... gusto...
