Gang Starr: The meaning of the name

The meaning of the name GangStarr, well I'll tell ya It means I find my mind can excel to a greater type of thought, brought by the things that I've been taught in relation to things that I rebel to divine and combine with a sense of confidence Accomplishments, are achieved off lots of gifts But slopiness, I could never tolerate it Not the Guru nor Premier you don't know how long we've waited While other groups have faded, just like haircuts We use sheer guts to open the earducts of your brain to expose every vain Cause you sound plain, insane, and mundane, it's a shame You've got no beats, so you get no seats at this table, you ain't stable with the mic cable Kane and Able, jealous brothers And I knew some girls who were overzealous lovers But back to the act of developing the GangStarr track It means that nothing can be wack The music is picked right, the mic is gripped tight The lyrics I kick right to a beat like Kryptonite power Not withstood by any mortal or immortal To make you get on the floor til another dope jam we slam with precision Bringing beams of light, like the colors in a prism or reflections, through a spectrum And all the soft silly suckers I'ma wet them in other words destroy boy, and then claim my fame... This is the meaning of the name (DJ Premier cuts "what does it all mean?") [Guru] GangStarr, it means a lot to me It means I'm free to bust rhymes sporadically Gang represents my boys or a posse So just back up off me And the Starr symbolizes the power Making the suckers and weak brothers cower We got strong, intelligent minds with a street sense Crazy offense, and stupid defense Now, have I made myself clear? Or do I have to call on DJ Premier? For he and I make up the songs that you long for Meanwhile ducks just knock on the wrong door Waiting for a call or for the doors to open Cause they're hoping, that they'll get chosen But to be chosen is a divine gift You better get a job quick See you can't rhyme and all your beats are weak You oughta take a peak and check out the technique Seek, and you shall find GangStarr stands for mastermind Simple and plain and yo this ain't no game lame... This is the meaning of the name
