[00:00.46] (DJ Premier scratching)
[00:13.17] "I want the public to know. what goes on"
[00:15.91] "I mean, look at the situation - be real"
[00:19.78] (Verse One: Guru)
[00:20.16] The names have been changed to protect the innocent
[00:21.91] Each step is intricate, I rep magnificent
[00:24.23] Knew this kid named Ronnie, used to make cash with Caesar
[00:26.61] They made a lot of money back in the 80's crack fever
[00:29.07] Caesar was an overachiever, a kingpin and 18-and-a-half
[00:32.19] He got knocked and left Ronnie to watch the team and the stash
[00:35.19] Plus his crib, his jewels, his whip and his girl
[00:37.59] And Ronnie's self-interests had him livin in a different world
[00:40.42] He rocked Caesar's chains, he put Caesar's rings
[00:43.03] Smokin mad wools all day, with Caesar's change
[00:44.88] Not to mention he pushed up on Caesar's wifey
[00:47.85] A move like that my man, extremely sheisty
[00:49.94] It all got back to Caesar in the bing
[00:52.10] They found Ronnie's body in the playground by the swings
[00:54.79] Anyone can get it, for sure it don't matter dawg
[00:57.52] Especially when a nigga tries commitin sabotage
[00:59.28] (Premier scratching Guru samples)
[01:02.65] "There ain't nobody to trust"
[01:03.92] "It's got me ready. ready. ready. ready. ready to bust"
[01:07.51] "It's like sabotage, there ain't nobody to trust"
[01:10.52] ""It's like sabotage"
[01:13.99] "It's got me ready. ready. ready. ready. ready to bust"
[01:17.87] (Verse Two: Guru)
[01:18.45] Treachery, deception, it's best to keep a weapon
[01:20.64] When you think that they be breddern, they underhand your plan
[01:22.91] It's over for the cowardly, we grow more potent hourly
[01:25.05] I'm knowin where the power be, I'm schemin to get even
[01:27.70] Dissension can occur from within one's ranks
[01:29.98] The chain can be weakened, by just one link
[01:32.46] Pricks be galavantin from one crew to the next
[01:34.88] Musical click-ass niggaz catch two to the chest
[01:37.34] My usual guess is that they chose to digress
[01:39.98] Disillusioned by greed, causin you to distress
[01:42.22] Just do what's best, clean house, leave out
[01:44.85] Them punks can't touch what they can't peep out
[01:47.16] See I'm a raw nigga, and like my pops I'm a lawgiver
[01:49.91] Can't throw a wrench in my game, I'm a boss figure
[01:52.65] Take you under my wing, it don't matter God
[01:55.05] Dead you if you try to commit, sabotage
[01:56.93] Rise for me now, kneel for me now
[01:59.58] Time to pass judgment, can't feel for you now
[02:01.84] Lay in your bed, accept your fate
[02:03.29] Try to clean it up, except you're late
[02:06.72] From the streets to the industry, peep the chemistry
[02:09.54] It's GangStarr shit, makin a livin see
[02:12.29] We put it on and when it's war it's war
[02:14.25] Sabotage'll have me dumpin the four {*gunshots richochet*}
