Gang Starr Here Today, Gone Tomorrow lyrics

Many MC's are mislead
Mislead by the lies that they pump in their heads
The money and the fame that they're hopin' to find
Will never come close to the scope of my rhyme

Now, some have been successful but really
And yo, these MC's are clearly not nearly
Up to this level or should I say caliber
It's just I'm hype that the company's sellin' me

Because they'll take a dud, talk some crud and then push him
But in the next year, someone new will just squoosh him
'Cause when you sell out to appeal to the masses
You have to go back and enroll in some classes

So cash in your check 'cause it's the last one you get
The tables have turn and now you ain't in effect
So jet to the rear and you better just follow
'Cause what's here today maybe gone tomorrow

You whack MC's, I'll see ya later
You whack MC's, I'll see ya later


Here and gone in a flash, some made cash
While other suckers go broke real fast
Some never make any money but still they act funny
Like they're thinkin', they're runnin'

Things, wearing rings and medallions
Then listen to their rhymes when we rather take Valiums
'Cause swiftness and skills they are lackin'
So I send them packin', they should have know not to tax in

And smashin' all of the vocals to smithereens
Watchin' them collectin' themselves 'cause they're bitter seen
But some find happiness while others find sorrow
And what's here today, maybe gone tomorrow

You whack MC's, I'll see ya later
You whack MC's, I'll see ya later
You whack MC's, I'll see ya later
