Shatterstar

(Dedicated to the original Mannheim crew and my crew from Texas)

6/15/98-7/10/98

Guido was born to be a soldjah – a warrior

While ya’ll scream for doljah – more and more of ya

I’m beginnin’ to realize there’s no battles for me

Can you see? Can it be that we live in peace

Hell no, but we’re in a nuclear age son

And even though I’m the one – I’m the last

Noone left to fight like in the past

I’m bout this, but what is this?

No longer is it proper to deal the death kiss

I don’t understand...and I’m left with the death wish

But it soon passes cuz life itself is a battle

And this cavalier will never leave the saddle

So I ride on lookin’ for a new mission

Please God, bless me with a new vision

Lay my ancestors to rest for eternity

This feeling of indecision is burnin’ me

Burnin’ me like gonna-gonnareah

Never had it and never been to Korea – China or Japan

Watch me cuz I be rappin’ like Saran

Hold up wait, that doesn’t really make sense

But I’m sure you’ll get it if yer not too dense

So realization is what I need yo

So gimme a few weeks to think bro

I don’t know...and maybe I never will

For the last nine years I’ve been King of the Hill

I’ve dominated sheerly by true will

But excuse me while I chill

I’m surrounded by numerous tomes

From which I try to divine the answer

This anxiety seems to eat away at me like a cancer

I’m fussin’, fightin’, and stressin’

If you think I’m sleepin’ then you need a Lesson [allusion to one of my songs]

After nine days and nine nights of horror and fright

Lookin’ at a comic book – came to the realization of my plight

I’m a Shatterstar – a warrior without a cause of my own

As I though it out my fist boomed down on the arm of my throne

Shatterstar was the ultimate warrior from another dimension

He had nothin’ to fight for on Earth – little comprehension

Of the ways of life, or the right from the wrong

As I reached my epiphany I started to scribe this song

Shatterstar found a group of friends and offered his sword

To help their cause – and so...oh Lord

I knew there had to be some honorable souls out there

With a worthy cause – my allegiance I would swear

The team was formed in the Mannheim Zoo

They were down for whatever, always "What you wanna do?"

Al, Gary, Aric, and Joey Gambino

It was fun – more than I ever seen yo

The crew taught me to chill and appreciate life

To forget about the haters and dodge the trife

How to be myself around other peep-a-people

And stand tall like an old church steeple

After I learned the Gambino art, I donned the name

And came back to the states to run my game

This song has taken two years to scribe

And since then I’ve assembled my tribe

I taught them my wisdom and the Gambino lore

The Firm that I formed is totally hard core

After a time the two Dons reunited

This event left the whole world excited

Tu Geez and Jealous One's Envy
How damn long has it been G?

Philosophers could only theoreticize the damage

Our beats and flows hit so hard – cause dain bramage

We’re on top of the world runnin’ the game

Puttin’ punk sucker MCs down in shame

Joey G is my top advisor like Merlin to Arthur

I’m the king – test my position and I’ll come even harder

I’ll never fall off my throne or this microphone

Even though I’m surrounded by people I’m still alone

Very few understand the components of my geniusity [gee-nee-os-ih-ty]

I’m an enigma comin’ at full velocity

I’m still a Shatterstar but I guess I am content

Don’t need to smoke pot, don’t need to get bent

I close this chapter, but there’s no rest

I’m opening a new one – I’ll always be the best!!!
