I want the public to know.. what goes on
I mean, look at the situation - be real
[Verse One: Guru]
The names have been changed to protect the innocent
Each step is intricate, I rep magnificent
Knew this kid named Ronnie, used to make cash with Caesar
They made a lot of money back in the 80`s crack fever
Caesar was an overachiever, a kingpin and 18-and-a-half
He got knocked and left Ronnie to watch the team and the stash
Plus his crib, his jewels, his whip and his girl
And Ronnie`s self-interests had him livin in a different world
He rocked Caesar`s chains, he put Caesar`s rings
Smokin mad wools all day, with Caesar`s change
Not to mention he pushed up on Caesar`s wifey
A move like that my man, extremely sheisty
It all got back to Caesar in the bing
They found Ronnie`s body in the playground by the swings
Anyone can get it, for sure it don`t matter dawg
Especially when a nigga tries commitin sabotage
[Premier scratching Guru samples]
There ain`t nobody to trust
It`s got me ready.. ready.. ready.. ready.. ready to bust
It`s like sabotage, there ain`t nobody to trust
It`s like sabotage
It`s got me ready.. ready.. ready.. ready.. ready to bust
[Verse Two: Guru]
Treachery, deception, it`s best to keep a weapon
When you think that they be breddern, they underhand your plan
It`s over for the cowardly, we grow more potent hourly
I`m knowin where the power be, I`m schemin to get even
Dissension can occur from within one`s ranks
The chain can be weakened, by just one link
Pricks be galavantin from one crew to the next
Musical click-ass niggaz catch two to the chest
My usual guess is that they chose to digress
Disillusioned by greed, causin you to distress
Just do what`s best, clean house, leave out
Them punks can`t touch what they can`t peep out
See I`m a raw nigga, and like my pops I`m a lawgiver
Can`t throw a wrench in my game, I`m a boss figure
Take you under my wing, it don`t matter God
Dead you if you try to commit, sabotage
Rise for me now, kneel for me now
Time to pass judgment, can`t feel for you now
Lay in your bed, accept your fate
Try to clean it up, except you`re late
From the streets to the industry, peep the chemistry
It`s GangStarr shit, makin a livin see
We put it on and when it`s war it`s war
Sabotage`ll have me dumpin the four {*gunshots richochet*}
[Premier scratching Guru samples]
There ain`t nobody to trust
It`s like sabotage
