[Chorus: Guru] It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost
[Verse 2: Guru] Now in '93, realistically you should be Well aware of all the evils out there It's like a jungle sometimes, you get the message? You got to rumble sometimes, it's gettin' hectic Emotions run deep as times run out Solutions, it's time to find some out So according to me, suckers are barred From obstructing my discussion 'cause I rhyme too hard You take a whiff like a spliff here like some fresh air I came to claim shit this year Take a stroll down the walkway or hallway or runway Fuck with us, kid, you'll pay I slay and, yo, I'm still on the expressway I kick my essay, then you know we don't play So pray down on your knees, G 'Cause it's the best way, yes, the best way
[Chorus: Guru] 'Cause it's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost
[Verse 3: Guru] There's a large amount of wack crews For them, I got bad news Time to pay your dues, you fools I'm like express mail, with the script that hits Like the third rail, when I shock the spot, it's hot From the rays of the sun Original one the prophet sent to become A law giver, 'cause you shiver when I quiz ya All about the real necessities of life All about the game and all about the name G to the A to the N to the G Starr We know who we are, but do you know who you are? You go down there looking for justice, that's what you find, just us
[Chorus: Guru] 'Cause it's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost It's a long way to go when you don't know where you're going You don't know where you're going when you're lost
