ALONGWAYTOGO by Gang Starr Lyrics

[Intro] Now, here's a funky introduction Now, here's a funky introduction Now, here's a funky intro— Now, here's a funky introduction Now, here's a funky intro— funky introduction Now, here's a funky introduction [Chorus: Guru] It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost [Verse 1: Guru] What you need is more direction and get yourself some protection I thought by now that you have learned your lesson I'm stressin' points and slammin' all the joints you call the real shit Correct shit, you know the bust the way you feel shit Daily, I still don't think you understand You lose the game, we get more props than Dan Rather, and it don't matter 'cause when you fletch, you're weak So I'ma step just to speak about the counterfeit, un-legit type of people Those cellophane ones, the ones that you can see through It's poetic justice 'cause I'm mad with a pact So precise, my insight will take flight in the night And in the daytime 'cause I don't come up with corny rhymes I'm too devoted to the concept of gettin' mine So here's the deal like Shaquille O'Neal If you don't know what you're doing, how the hell can you be real? [Refrain] How far must you go to gain respect? Um How far must you go to gain respect? Um [Verse 2: Guru] Now in '93, realistically you should be Well aware of all the evils out there It's like a jungle sometimes, you get the message? You got to rumble sometimes, it's gettin' hectic Emotions run deep as times run out Solutions, it's time to find some out So according to me, suckers are barred From obstructing my discussion 'cause I rhyme too hard You take a whiff like a spliff here like some fresh air I came to claim shit this year Take a stroll down the walkway or hallway or runway Fuck with us, kid, you'll pay I slay and, yo, I'm still on the expressway I kick my essay, then you know we don't play So pray down on your knees, G 'Cause it's the best way, yes, the best way [Chorus: Guru] 'Cause it's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost [Refrain] How far must you go to gain respect? Um How far must you go to gain respect? Um [Verse 3: Guru] There's a large amount of wack crews For them, I got bad news Time to pay your dues, you fools I'm like express mail, with the script that hits Like the third rail, when I shock the spot, it's hot From the rays of the sun Original one the prophet sent to become A law giver, 'cause you shiver when I quiz ya All about the real necessities of life All about the game and all about the name G to the A to the N to the G Starr We know who we are, but do you know who you are? You go down there looking for justice, that's what you find, just us [Chorus: Guru] 'Cause it's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost [Refrain] How far must you go to gain respect? Um How far must you go to gain respect? Um How far must you go to gain respect? Um How far must you go to gain respect? Um [Outro] Um Um Um Um Um Um
