GangStarr - The Rep Grows Bigga lyrics

You do your first bid and dirt to get your name known You never talk too much to get your spot blown Now you`re no longer just a face in the crowd You`re gettin so much respect that n***az might as well bow And movin up with your hustle like you planned it Rakin dough like the world`s greatest bandit Always got one eye open, for the stick-up kids postin So much cream chumps they can`t understand it Ladies flock to your jock like it`s golden Curious, to test the weight you be holdin but you ain`t got no time, to be chasin felines If she`s the chick that you pick then she gets chosen People treat you like you`re ghetto royalty And all your staff shows you utmost loyalty You paid your dues, refuse to lose in this scenario The rep grows bigga, you`re a legend and a hero Your fame has gotten larger than your life You`ve got a harem of b**hes and k**er n***az that`s hype They got your back, but you so fly you don`t need em You sh** what you`re eatin so you don`t peep the proceedings They start schemeing, feeling that you`re too swollen and that`s the reason why your cash and stash gets stolen You start perspiring, because you`re paranoid Still another confrontation that you couldn`t avoid Prepare for drama, as if you were a stunt man Back in the days you was a forty and a blunt man Today you`re a Willie, now the weather`s too chilly New York City ain`t the place to be frontin Over your shoulders day and night`s where you look Your so-called fam ran a scam, and you got shook Go back to square one, better go talk to your son See reps grow bigga in the life of a crook Years ago, we were new jacks to this scene Showed some effort, made fat records, but still saw no green Know what I mean? They tried to stifle us n***a you could not believe how really ill and trife it was Fed up so we headed on a serious mission Wishin, that we could better our position Two businessmen, Guru and Prim`, we enterprised Too strong to be stepped on, creatively wise The dedicated ministers of underground sound When we`re doin our thing, you know we don`t f** around No matter how bizarre and different you think you are your team wouldn`t dream of competeing with GangStarr Premier in the rear with the beats and cuts And Guru with the mic ready to tear sh** up Take us out the game n***a? How you figure? The name is well kept, and the rep just gets bigga
