Lyrics of 'Gusto' by Gang Starr

Keith e.e. emcee on a spree Im goin for this
Cause draws applause, yes I adore this
Ill reteach with speech, I can accomplish
I've got to flaunt this, Im not a pessimist
Yo Im an optimist, thats why Im droppin this
I'm good I got style, cause Ive stood for a while
In the shadows of the others gettin mellow with the brothers
Called the gang, and yes I can hang
Progressin with my lesson while I do my thang

I've got gusto
My man gots that gusto word
(repeat 2x)

You say your rhymes flow, I say Im spontaneous
Rockin the place, Im not mainly just
Sayin some words that are weak or incoherent
And its apparent, that you fear us, the gang
But Im still a peace seeker
Im in your face, dont have to sneak ya
Dope rhymes speaking with wisdom of a preacher
And Im here, cause youve been victimized
Im sincere, I see through gifted eyes
So yo, were gonna see what the race is
Thats where you groups, will have to face us
And you can bet well be in tip-top shape
Nice so precise with a hip-hop update
Wait, I got a shoutout for the ladies
Come check me baby, dont underrate me
Cause Im a man with the plan for all
The guru, to groove you, get out the wall

Ive got gusto
My man gots that gusto word
(repeat 2x)

I've got gusto, so Im kickin it well
I got gusto, with much clientele
So I pump it, to a higher decibel
Have a seat, listen cause the rest it goes smooth
And improve and bust a move
I am the man with the true blue potential
I am essential, I drive you mental and back
Attack mack and rap
And as you calm I will romp
Like a giant I stomp

I've got gusto
My man gots that gusto word
(repeat 2x)

Really? right, you wanna be a emcee?
Then go against me -- boy dont even tempt me
Cause I go house on the freestyle tip
Math you and blast you and then just shift
Into hype gear, no fear, I persevere
Year after year, rehearsin verse so clear
Cause Ive been into rhymin man for like eons
And every stage, word I wanna be on
So I can show you how its gotta be done
I never run or shun, Ive just begun

I've got gusto
My man gots that gusto word
(repeat 2x)

..

My man gots that gusto word
(repeat 2x)

Ahhh yeah... gusto...
