Brainstorm Lyrics

[Chorus]
Get on it
Get on it
Get on it
Get on it
Get on it


[Verse 1: Guru]
One, two, check
I get down and dirty and my sounds are worthy of respect
So I'ma flex my text just like a major takeover
Chumps pass the mic over
Growin' more and more nervous when I serve this ass whoopin'
Comin' straight out of Brooklyn, baldhead from the old school
Born to rule with more class than Billy Dee
To a pussy MC, you know, a wuss MC
I'm like his worst nightmare when I'm on my killing spree
Pick the vic', who will it be?
Your vote may hold the key
It's up to you, tell us true
Who'll be herb of the day?

And when you fake, you break
When suckers choose, they lose
I'm like lethal to you and your people
It's like an outrage when punks step on stage
With the weak show, weak flow, and still make dough
So I'ma take dough from 'em and then son 'em
Teach 'em how to really get biz like this
Me and my gang's gonna swarm
Brainstorm
[Chorus]
Get on it
Get on it
Get on it


[Verse 2: Guru]
It takes at least two to tango, so you can get strangled
From any angle, as I get buck on ducks
All the sexy girlies wanna push up close to
The man with the most who don't flaunt his ego
Some motherfuckers ain't as gifted
Not everyone can move the crowd and uplift it

I'm swift with the shit like a bullet's trajectory
So don't stand next to me
It's like a warm sensation when my shells hit
You were wrong, you know what you did, so you fell quick
To the pavement, no signs of body movement
See I knew it, yo, I had to do it
And it's cool to duel, but don't slip up, fool
'Cause I'ma leave you dead and stinkin' like a cesspool
And all the chicks know what's goin' on
'Cause baby, there ain't no sunshine when I'm gone

And you can beg for me to stay and parlay
But sorry, I gots to go, got bills to pay
See, by nature, I'm godly
When I touch the mic, it's never too hard for me
To let out a mass amount of mad clout
Huh, me and my gang's gonna swarm
Brainstorm
[Chorus]
Get on it
Get on it
Get on it
Get on it


[Verse 3: Guru]
I'm gonna get ya
You might be bigger than me, so I'ma wet ya
Coming to your house to douse it with the Molotov cocktail
I won't fail
Burn out your eyeballs and leave a note in braille

So what the fuck you gonna do?
Yeah, I know I used to act relaxed, but now I'm cuckoo
Come into my darkest, deepest thoughts
We fought, I won, and now you're caught and bein' tortured
Water pellets dripped upon your forehead
But you can't move, because you're tied up
Your time's up

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
