[00:02.25]Everything changing nowadays, man
[00:03.70]Kids got technology and the rap music
[00:06.35]I mean, I like rap music,?I?ain't gon' lie
[00:08.71]I?like rap music, man, I like?some of it, man
[00:10.51]But I don't think you gon' see, like, rap reunions 20 years from now
[00:13.02]I don't think you're gonna see a 50-year-old rapper
[00:16.24]"How you like me now?"

[00:25.31]Bless the mic
[00:27.94]Bless the mic for the gods
[00:30.34][Verse 1: Guru]
[00:30.64]When it's concerning these bars, I'm leaving permanent scars
[00:33.14]On you half-ass rappers, you ain't earnin' it, pa
[00:35.79]So come to my class, then I can son you real fast
[00:38.39]Just 'cause you comin' with cash, you still a wannabe ass
[00:40.69]I get chicks state to state, offer me face from the gate
[00:43.34]'Cause the sound of my voice makes their juices marinate
[00:45.89]As opposed to those with mediocre prose
[00:48.50]Wet you from head to toe, and watch you soak in your clothes
[00:50.64]It's the message in the song that makes you rock on
[00:53.89]Some people go to places where they don't belong
[00:56.09]Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight
[00:58.79]But I'm here to bless this mic (Bless the mic for the gods)
[01:01.35]It's the lessons in the song that makes you rock on
[01:04.14]Some people go to places where they don't belong
[01:06.43]Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight
[01:08.93]But I'm here to bless this mic (Bless the mic)
[01:11.58][Verse 2: Guru]
[01:11.78]Now, why'd they try to pull a plug on a brother?
[01:13.24]Pull the rug from a brother?
[01:14.49]Catch a slug from the toolie of a gun-lovin' brother
[01:16.83]Violence, wylin', whatever, they know
[01:19.19]The more rappers come, the quicker they go
[01:21.70]This underground is mine, might even see me in a hoop'
[01:24.46]Switch to a droptop coupe, why you c**k blockin', dukes?
[01:27.85]Baldhead Slick, I represent my clique
[01:29.64]I got my little man loadin' the ammo, this shit is sick
[01:32.09][Chorus: Guru]
[01:32.40]It's the message in the song that makes you rock on
[01:34.85]Some people go to places where they don't belong
[01:37.05]Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight
[01:39.65]But I'm here to bless this mic (Bless the mic for the gods)
[01:42.44]It's the lessons in the song that makes you rock on
[01:44.99]Some people go to places where they don't belong
[01:47.55]Whether wrong or right, a lot of people fight
[01:50.01]But I'm here to bless this mic (Bless the mic for the gods)
