[Chorus]
It's mostly the voice that gets you up
And mostly the voice that makes you buck
A lot of rappers got flavor, and some got skills
But if your voice ain't dope, then you need to chill

[Verse 1]
Up steps one, he gets done
Then up steps another, he gets smothered
That's word to mother, or should I say moms?
I drop bombs, scorchin' n***as like napalm
Sucka boy, get off my shit
Get off my dick, so what I make butter hits?
You better change your behavior
'Cause battling Gang Starr, no religion could save ya
My religion is rap, R-A-P
R-E-A-L-I-T-Y, G
'Cause when I rock, street kids rejoice
I got mad rhymes

[Chorus]
Still, it's mostly the voice that gets you up
And mostly the voice that makes you buck
A lot of rappers got flavor, and some got skills
But if your voice ain't dope, then you need to chill
[Post-Chorus]
Give it up
Give it up
Give, give it, give, give it, give, give it
Give it up

[Verse 2]
So when you think you know the whole you don't even know the half
You're not a threat to myself and neither to my staff
Not the type to really dance too much, although I used to
Rather bust a fresh line and get loose to
The blunted ill types of beats Premier makes
Make your girl's rear shake, let me set it straight

[Chorus]
It's the voice that gets you up
And mostly the voice that gets you buck
A lot of rappers got flavor, and some got skills
But if your voice ain't dope, then you need to chill

[Post-Chorus]
Give it up
Give it up
Give, give it up
Give it up
[Verse 3]
Some rappers use hooks to their shit, but if you took that shit out
And then you took all the music out
What would remain? The voice, no doubt
Bless my soul, I control when in pimp mode
My bank roll expands, I invest in my man
I plan to keep rap real
So if your shit ain't phat, then kneel
You squeal, feeling pain from my oral flex
What about oral sex, which chick's next?
To open wide and get a chunk from a real brother
Yeah, some real funk from a real brother
They get sprung and most of them don't recover
But I don't diss 'em, I just talk to 'em
'Cause the sound of my voice, it does a lot to them
So you and the n***as right there
Be aware, like SWV, I'm right here
Waitin' to correct your ass
And if you don't follow now, I'll disrespect your ass
More vicious than Sid, do a crime with no bid
I'll tell a bitch that I didn't when you know that I did
And take a trip to a land afar
Then come back and people still know Gang Starr
See, I'm the ladies' choice
'Cause I got crazy styles, but still it's mostly the voice
[Chorus]
The voice that gets you up
It's mostly the voice that makes you buck
A lot of rappers got flavor, and some got skills
But if your voice ain't dope, then you need to chill

[Outro: Guru & Shug]
Oh shit, Shug, what up?
Wassup money?
Just loungin', about to go do this shit in the studio
Oh yeah, you just let me get on that shit
You always tellin' me I could get on, man
You need to let me get on that
Word?
For real, man
Yo, man
Don't front on that shit
I'm sayin', yo, if I let you get busy, then, you know what I'm sayin'
You can't be disappointin' me
I'll flip shit
I'ma flip shit on this
Aight man, let's go
