Take It Personal - GangStarr

I never thought that you would crab me 
Undermine me  and backstab me 
But I can see clearly now the rain is gone 
The pain is gone but what you did was still wrong 
There was a few times I needed your support 
But you tried to play me like an indoor sport 
like racquetball  tennis  fool  whatever 
All I know is you attempted to be clever 
Nevertheless  cleverness can't impress 
Cause now you've been expose like a person undressed 
cause I see through you, I'm the Guru 
Now what you gonna do when I step to you 
and when I pay you back I'll be hurting you 
This ain't no threat so take it personal 
Rap is an art you can't own no loops 
It's how you hook em up and the rhyme style troop 
So don't even think you could say someone bit 
off your weak beat come on you need to quit 
I flip lines and kick rhymes that never sound like yours 
There oughtta be laws against you yapping your jaws 
Originality overflows from in me 
and the truth is, that you wish you could live the 
life I live and kick the lyrics I kick 
But bear in mind that you can't think as quick 
So Premier drops a beat, for me to say verses to 
And if I sound doper then take it personal 
Don't be mad cause I don't come around the way 
like I used to, I don't have time these days 
I'm keeping busy making power moves 
Don't try to say I don't remember you 
You shouldn't let your jealousy show like that 
I stopped coming by, cause of the way you act 
Telling my business to kids I don't even know 
You're like a daytime talk show, and that's low 
So you can tell everyone, that I'm jerking you 
And if you don't like it, take it personal
