In mich hineingehört: Gangstarr - "Moment of truth"

Es ist mal wieder Zeit euch meine Musik zu präsentieren. Das heutige Lied begleitet mich schon seit Jahren durch gute und schlechte Zeiten. Und gerade in die jetzige Zeit passt es wie kein zweites.

Aber ersteinmal zu der Gruppe. Gangstarr ist eine Rap-crew aus New York bestehend aus Dj Premiere und Guru. Für mich repräsentieren sie Rap- Musik mit Inhalt und tiefgang wie sie hier beweisen. Der Song handelt von dem "Moment of truth" dem wir alle begegnen müssen. Im Moment habe ich viele solcher Momente, in denen ich Prüfungen oder Aufgaben bestehen bzw. meistern muss. Dieses Lied hat mich vor allem durch den Inhalt des Textes aufgebaut in schlechten Zeiten aber auch wieder herruntergeholt wenn es gut läuft. Deswegen habe ich hier auch die Lyrics eingefügt, sodass jeder nocheinmal nachlesen kann was diese Geniale Combo aus der Feder gezaubert hat.

Auf jeden Fall ist das Lied ein absoluter ALL TIME CLASSIC. Neben den unüberhörbaren Rap "Skills" liegen in diesem Lied sehr viel Weisheit und Kraft. Deswegen werde ich mich mit meiner Lieblingszeile aus dem Song von euch verabschieden.

"I´m ready to lose my mind but instead I juse my mind"

No matta wat we fyace We mus face de moment of trut baybe

Chorus: Guru

They say it's lonely at the top, in whatever you doYou always gotta watch motherfuckers around you.Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof.We all must meet our moment of truth.

Verse One:Guru

The same sheisty cats that you hang with, and do your thang withcould set you up and wet you up, nigga peep the languageIt's universal, you play with fire it may hurt youor burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through.Let's face facts, although MC's lace tracksit doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back.That goes for all of us, there ain't nobody to trust.It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust.But I can't jeapordize, what I have done up to this point.So I'ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint.Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we'll die.You know I be the master of the who what where and why. See when you're shinin, some chumps'll wanna dull ya.Always selfish jealous punks, will wanna pull yadown, just like some shellfish in a bucket cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm.But just as you'll receive what is comin to you.Everybody else is gonna get theirs too.I ain't no saint, therefore I cannot dispute.That everyone must meet their moment of truth

Chorus: Guru

Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge.You may not know the harships people don't speak of.It's best to step back, and observe with couth For we all must meet our moment of truth.

Verse Two: Guru

Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near.Don't fear things get severe for everybody everywhere.Why do bad things happen, to good people? Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil.The situation that I'm facin, is mad amaz into think such problems can arise from minor confrontations.Now I'm contemplatin in my bedroom pacin.Dark clouds over my head, my heart's racin.Suicide? Nah, I'm not a foolish guy.Don't even feel like drinking, or even gettin high.Cause all that's gonna do really, is acceleratethe anxieties that I wish I could alleviate.But wait, I've been through a whole lot of other shit, before So I oughta be able, to withstand some more.But I'm sweatin though, my eyes are turnin red and yo.I'm ready to lose my mind but instead I use my mind.I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine.My only crime, was that I'm too damn kind.And now some skanless motherfuckers wanna take what's mine.But they can't take the respect, that I've earned in my lifetime.And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes.So like they say, every dog has its dayAnd like they say, God works in a mysterious way.So I pray, remembering the days of my youth.As I prepare to meet my moment of truth

Verse Three: Guru

Yo I got one lyric pointed at your head for start.Another one, is pointed at your weak ass heart.Now if I pull the trigger, on these fully loaded lines.You're gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine, I mack dimes Crack the spines of the fake gangsters.Yeah the bitin triflin niggaz, and the studio pranksters.Yo lookin at the situation plainly: will you remain G?Or will you be looked upon strangely?I reign as the articulator, with the greater data.Revolvin on the TASCAM much doper than my last jam.While others struggle to juggle, tricky metaphots.I explore more, to expose the core.A lot of MC's, act stupid to me And we have yet to see, if they can match our longevity.But anyway it's just another day Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display.Styles, smooth but rugged -- you can't push or shove it.You dig it and you dug it cause like money you love it.The king of monotone, with my own throne.Righteously violent prone my words bring winds like cyclones.Stormin your hideout, blockin out your sunlightYour image and your business, were truly not done rightThrow up your he-Allah-I now, divine saviors.You got no hand skills there's no security to save ya.No pager, no celly, no drop top Benz-y.I came to bring your phone hip-hop, to an ending.My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse Cause you must meet your moment of truth.

Chorus: Guru

They say it's lonely at the top, in whatever you do.You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you.No one's untouchable, no man is bulletproof.We all must meet our moment of truth
