Credit Is Due (Explicit)

Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby

Now I'm about to get funky to something that Premier plays

Funky we gonna do it this way

I'm getting funky to something that Premier plays

I'm the Guru and we'll do it this way

Now give the credit where it is due

Give the credit y'all where it's due

Now give the credit where it is due

Give the credit y'all where it's due

I'm heated up cause I'm seeing folks that are so phony

They didn't know me when I was broke and I was lonely

Only a few came to check me so they come first

And yo our people come next G

We'd go to a club the Milky Way or the Payday

The outlaw spots where the music was real hot

And you wasn't there when the underrated real MC's

Came equipped and used to kick slick lyrics

All live without no lipsync

To a d**e crate building skills from instinct

I'm tired of people getting all excited

I'm not tripping on just a thing but I'm delighted

To let you know that some others be flim flamming

I'll let you know that all this time we been jamming

So give up the props Hobbes jealousy's a flaw

If the next man deserves it earns it it should be law

So let him pass right through

Because you got to give the credit y'all where it is due

Give it to give it to give it to me

Give it to give it to give it to me give it

You know you got to give the credit where it is due

Give the credit y'all where it's due

Give the credit where it is due

Give the credit y'all where it's due

Some of the d**est MC's don't really get enough light

Cause their record companies don't really market them right

Most of the people signin acts they ain't from the street

Cause yo they come from the sweet

Soft section of town

While they be sweating and pretending that they know a real rap sound

But I know some guys and some ladies that can fill those spots mate

To promote the real greats

And educate and get it straight

And mobilizing the imitators exposing the explosive core

I hope to explore

Galaxies of remedies for your wack rap sickness

As I convey relay mack rap quickness

In this business I witness trickyness

Some MC's are into stickyness

But I'm saying this from experience I'm furious

I didn't get this far overnight and there's nothing like

The real thing the real swing right

Real swing right

On and on

I'm taking things that are true

So won't you give the credit y'all where it is due

Give it to give it to give it to me give it give it

Give it to give it to give it to me

Give it to give it to give it to give it to give it to to to me

So yo I'm fed cause people like to talk too much

They're misled and yo they like to sqwak too much

But let me tell you baby you can't front on this

Twenty four track mix with the deep a*s kick

The objective is to surely demolish

The chances of the wack taking all the dollars

Support the brothers who are truly gifted

This way the odds could never be shifted

Like my man you know he works real hard

He's good at what he does and now he lives real large

So why envy him or anyone in his crew

Just sit back and give the credit y'all where it is due

Give the credit where it's due

Give the credit y'all where it is due

Give the credit where it's due

Just give the credit y'all where it is due

Give it to give it to give it to me

Give it to give it to give it to me

Give it to give it to give it to give it to give it to me to me
