No More Mr. Nice Guy

Punks will always scheme to, create a means
To take my kindness, for weakness, cause they don't seem to
Respect my generosity, and what it's costin me
Is headaches, i don't like fakes, or people bossin me around
You clown, it's time i beat you down
You tried to play me betray me and slay me, and now you'll drown
In the river, i'll give ya, reasons you should shiver
Cause when i get to wreckin and deckin, i won't forgive ya
You had the opportunity, for bein cool with me
You stabbed me in the back you duck, and now you're soon to be
Disarmed, embalmed, i'll break off all your arms
And then your legs, you'll beg, i'll crack you like a egg
And spill your yolk, you joke, i'll duff you in the eye
And you'll say, "why?" and bleeding and pleading, you'll start to cry
And i'll reply with a confident sigh, "there'll be no more mr. nice guy"

No more mr. nice guy
No more mr. nice guy

Yo ?, this is somethin that i wanna tell to you, sell to you
And as i speak you girlies yell to your friends, "yo it's him!
He's shockin again!" this is the season for breezin with reason
Because i'm in, charge of the attack on suckers who just rap on
Wack track that lack that snap, while i just mack on
Honies who look good and, they all want the wood in
They push up, to get up close, to serve me puddin
And i just tell em, "look here, i am not a crook there"
But i like to snatch em all, cause like a hook they're stuck
Struck, they tried to press their luck
They wanna tease me and skeeze me and please me, to squeeze the bucks
From my pocket that is bulging, i'm not indulging
In lame games with phony dames, too busy buildin my fortress
Score this, drink while i pour this
I'm livin and givin my rhymes, so i'll ignore this
Garbage you are runnin, i am not the one and
You'll never get to vamp me tramp cause i'll be stunning your mind
I'll sign, my name on your behind and cool you off
Like frost, i'm leary of the way you double cross
Get lost, i'll tell you you are fly and say goodbye
And burning and yearing you'll ask my why
And i'll reply with a wink of an eye, "there'll be no more mr. nice guy"

No more mr. nice guy
No more mr. nice guy

Oh sure, you're, running back for me
I'ma great you defeat you and beat you, show you the door
Cause you ain't really welcome, you know you're seldom
Thinkin of your fellow man, but you still til them
You wanna be a friend then, you keep pretendin
You're two-faced, so you'll taste, just what i'm sendin
Pow, now, you're shaken sayin wow
You stare, you fear, my wrath is too severe
I never let up so get up i'm fed up, and i don't care
I'll duff you in the eye and you'll say, "why?"
While you're bleeding and pleading, you'll start to cry
And i'll reply, "either do or you die,
Cause there'll be no more mr. nice guy"

No more mr. nice guy
No more mr. nice guy

Take your time, recline and make your mind up
I feel fine, so i'm gonna wind up
Here's the pitch, check the switch, now watch me
Hit you right to this, while i pursue this
Desire, to get you, on up to step to
Rhythms and rhymes, cause i respect you
Unless you're a biting one, a non-writing one
Reciting some of my lines, although you are blind
You'll see my shadow, rather my silhouette
But i'll be glad though, knowin your pillow's wet
And that you're upset, cause you thought you brought
The answer -- to this dilemma in rap but i'll vamp you with

Knowledge knowledge knowledge (echoes)

Pure is my thought, my spirit is my heart
I shall embark to spark my fine art
Of oratory wisdom, emcees i quiz them
On terms and techniques, then i'll wreck each with speech
I win the science fair, so you don't you try and scare
Me with your threats and, idle atrocities
I am the best and yo i am your boss at these
Methods and forms of, causin swarms of fans
Just to dance, like thunder storms of
What it must take to, crush you or break you
If i dislike you, i may not hate you
It's just that you sound weak when, you think you're speakin

The rhymes are peaceful like yoga, and yo i know the
Time must be mine, so i'm gonna throw the
Whole kit n kaboodle in, while you sit doodlin
Scribblin, now wipe your mouth cause it's dribblin
That's nasty, so how you gonna get past me?
Whatcha babblin punk? i have to put a rattle in
Your hand, and then i'll serve you like an infant
Put a bib on you, and feed you in-stan-taneously
Rhymes that'll be, famous from me
The keith double-e, cause you're a faker
And i will take the mic from you and make the
Brothers and sisters unite, while we relate the

I'm glowin with intensity, cause i've been sent to g
Off as your boss, because you lack identity
You're quite immature and, you sound very boring
Like a raft i'll bring you back, up onto the shore and
Give you time to dry out, while i just try out
My hunch that with one punch, yo i could put that eye out
But violence, is never my first choice
I use my voice to make you rejoice
In agreement with our program, cause there is no man
Who can give you more of this, and you can be sure of this
Fact that i'm exact, cause i got it down pat
We are scholars risin, we're exercisin our

(premier scratches "the guru")

It's '89, mine, i'm keithy e. the guru
Premier is here with the flair, we're running to you
Bust your grill with skill, as we build and fulfill
I drop the wisom to quiz them, with precision we drill
We're kicking wannabes down cause we're gonna be down
We're moving on with the sound, see we're gonna be around
For a long time, i kick the strong rhymes
You're empty-handed and stranded cause you were standing in the wrong line
This is not the fate is for sure a pure pen
The gift is hitting home on your dome because we meant it
You'll need a graffiti, don't heed and you'll be bleeding
We'll rip you, and ship you back and you'll be repeating
The progress, and i guess that you should be told now
Lo and behold how the stroll i unfold now
Knowledge, wisdom, and peace are what i'm true to
In the rear is premier, and i'm the guru

(premier scratches)

I sound greater because i'm head of the comittee
I chill in new york city, i'm witty, so get me
To brooklyn, so i can ill and peace no joke
You slow poke, you'll go broke, you're rhymes ain't all that dope
So take a backseat, with all your wack beats
This is the one phase of my rage and onstage i slap eats
For you to try to steal this, i will reveal this
Like a prophet, i'll drop it, premier will start to seal
This coffin to be chewing, you soft and you'll be doing
A dance with some ants in the ground, you clowns be chewing
But you could never get this, the talents we've been blest with
So many different ways to phrase, you shouldn't mess with the guru

(premier scratches)

So here's the verdict, cause all you suckers know you're booty
You're played out, you'll fade out, i doubt that you can do me
We ain't having no gabbing, when i be grabbing and jabbing
In your ear like a spear prepare your body for battling
Cause you've been preparing to move, you'll be certain to lose
Open your eyes up, wise up while i work with the groove
To teach your next school, who'll be the next fool?
That i can stomp down with compound nouns but like a pestule
Come back with dumb raps, then like a tech inside
I'll take you out your misery you ought to step aside
Your weak rap, you speak that yang so imma clue you
The dj's name is premier, and i'm the guru

I'm telling you, '89 is mine. peace!

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"
(repeat 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"
(repeat 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"
(repeat 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"
(repeat 2x)

..

"my man gots that gusto" "word"

Ahhh yeah... gusto...

The music started in the hearts and drums, from another land
Played for everyone, by sons, of the motherland
Sendin out a message of peace, to everybody and
Came across the oceans in chains and shame
Easing the pain, and it was without name
Until some men in new orleans on rampart street
Put out the sounds, and then they gave it a beat
I'm talkin bout jelly roll, king, and satch
I'm talkin bout the music that had no match
Yes the music, and it was born down there
We're gonna use it, so make the horn sound clear
It's jazz music... jazz music

Yo, the music that pops, and other cats made
It stayed, cause people love when they played
To the north, it took a riverboat shuffle
To the big cities, with lots of hustle and bustle
To chicago, and to the apple too
This was a scene, that our forefathers knew
Go get your crew, i know they'll get into
The jazz music... jazz music

The music called jazz had the razzamatazz
It had the flavor, and a lot of pizazz
The big band beat was very neat and unique
The swing was king, it made you tap your feet
There was benny and duke and of course the count basie
The melody was smooth and yes, very taste
There was hap, the prez, and lady day and
Dizzy bird and miles, they were all playin
They brought it to the people of the foreign lands
Back across the oceans and the desert sands
Where it echoes in the distant sounds of drums
And it rises with the sun on days begun
This is the music, that we give tribute to
They gave it to us, that's why we give it to you
The jazz music... the jazz music

The jazz music... uh.. uh.. uh..

I profess and i don't jest cause the words i manifest
They will take you, sedate you, and i will stress upon
You the need for, you all to feed your
Mind and soul, so you can lead your-self
To keep, i got a real objective here
I am effective here, cause i select a clear
Message to all, suckers i maul they fall from
Into the pit of purgatory
I go for glory, i take an inventory
Countin all the tough luck ducks while i narrate
Relate and equate, dictate and debate
My fate is to be, cold makin history
I use sincerity, but i'm so very deep
Doubts are questions, of all the skeptics
I'm kickin clout and, i'll leave you vexed
It's just true, there's nothing so-so cause i know
Right about to spin it i'm in it admit it i did it
To you, cause this is what i'm into
So chill while i instill that we all must fulfill
The proper mission for us and yo this is a must
It's usually lines of my rhymes i ingest
These are the words that i manifest, i manifest

I suggest you take a breath for the words i manifest
They will scold you and mold you, while i impress upon
You the fact that, i use my tact at
Rhymin for climbin, and chill while i attract that
Girl you're with, i got a sincere quality
I give her all of me, cause you're too small to be
Tryin to riff, so let me uplift and shift my gift
Let's go to the fullest capacity
I got tenacity, because i have to be
The brother who must live and give with much insight
Foresight to ignite, excite and delight
And you might gain from it, or feel pain from it
Because i'm ultimate, and i'm about to let off
Knowledge is wisdom, understanding
Truth's the proof, so won't you throw a hand
In the air, put up a peace sign and be fine
If so we're feeling good we should we could we would
Stop, think for a moment ok?
And then sway while i convey that we must do away
With all the stress and the strife, so god bless your life
Use kindness, and never blindness
And you will find that this perspective is best, check it out
These are the words that i manifest, i manifest

I convey that what i say will awaken you today
After jockin while i'm talkin, but anyway
That you put it i give you, lyrics to live to
Righteousness rules, so i forgive you this time
For you are being very ignorant
That's insignificant, i guess you figured and
Hoped to be, dope as me, id you flee
Because the rest is too much for you
I'm your professor, i got the touch to
Do more than the rest who fess and can't compete
I'm elite i'll defeat delete and mistreat
Make mincemeat of other fools, cause i'm the brother who'll
Snatch up the funds and, make lonely ones
I meant it really, cause i'm clearly obsessed and i
These are the words that i manifest, i manifest

Now is the chance to advance and get an outlook
Create the circumstance, because i doubt books
Can relay, words this way, so i'll portray
A new image, and let's begin as

Weak is the clown, much weaker is the fool

For reasons that are so deep, i don't need no cheap
People to identify, i'll just say hi and bye
Since i'm an optimist, i'll turn and walk with this
Tape playing loudly, inside my headphones
Mc's that crowd me, turn into headstones
Because i don't have time for, powerless minds or
Suckers who suck, because i find more
Interesting topics, you can not stop it
I drop it and rock it i shock it, that's how i'm livin b
I have to live my life with positivity
