Suckas Need Bodyguards Lyrics

[Intro: Guru]
MCs be fakin', so now they get taken

[Chorus: Guru & Melachi the Nutcracker]
Fake MCs, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without their bodyguard
I hate fake MCs, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without their bodyguard


[Verse 1: Guru]
MCs are laid out like stiffs in the morgue
Praise the Lord, you're in awe when I'm grippin' my mic cord
Rhymes I rip with swift execution
One verse could coerce your girl to prostitution
The Guru is now the brother that you're fearin'
Beware when I'm making hits with Premier and
Rolling to a spot near you, lyrics tear through
Chrome to your dome, you better watch your rearview

Niggas been held back too long, we're coming up
In the streets we roam alone, so watch me running up
I'm summing up a mad posse of warriors
Night crusaders able to break down barriers
And bringing faces of death, putting MCs to rest
Until there's no fake chumps left
Run, step, yeah, bounce, nigga, bounce
My rhyme's are cargo and yours is just a quarter ounce
[Verse 3: Guru]
I've been around, punk, but yo, I still feel young
A few of my crew members like to pack guns
I'm high strung, but don't mistake me when I smile
I'll murder an entire rap chart with my freestyle
After the killing, just like Casper, I'm ghost
Fakes thought I was friendly, at their wakes I was host
Toast without a gun, you'd be done
Throw up your hands, bitch, and now you know you stand to lose one
Choose one metaphor and then choose another
Wax that ass like a bully, have you calling your big brother
Although I'm five foot eight, they call me sergeant
Got more hoes on my dick than you can fit in the garden
At Madison Square, I shot a fair one
So many niggas knew me that the kid wouldn't dare run
MCs pay cash to ensure their safety
They know they can't take me, the G-A-N-G, you crazy?
I'll be on them like a message from God
Knowledge of self while fake MCs play hard

[Chorus]
Fake MCs, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without their bodyguard
Fake MCs, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without their bodyguard

I hate fake MCs, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without their bodyguard
Fake MCs, they always act hard
But won't walk the streets without their bodyguard

[Outro]
I hate fake MCs, they always act hard
I'm not a sucker, so I don't need a bodyguard
Fake MCs, they always act hard
I'm not a sucker, so I don't need a bodyguard
I hate fake MCs, they always act hard
I'm not a sucker, so I don't need a bodyguard
Fake MCs, they always act hard
I'm not a sucker, so I don't need a bodyguard

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 [?]
