Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bitch my name Guru or Lil Pint they call me boochienu
I got a choppa and it’s big the same size as my shoe
I’m sipping purple sipping act
Rest in peace DJ SCREW
I was that nigga up in school having hoes by twos
Don’t fuck with niggas cause i’m rude rude boyz that’s the crew
I got a choppa with a silencer it go kapoof
My shooters hella crazy shooting shit straight out the roof

Don’t play with me i shoot it’s Lil Pint or G U R U
Niggas grew some nuts overnight nigga who are you
Last time i checked i fucked that bitch and i passed her to you
Don’t try to run cause these big bullets be faster than you
My shooters slide all in nem coupes
We sliding through the lou
And i be fried i be high i ain’t hiding from you
Bitch i be fried with my guys
Pour me a cup of the duse
I’m from the lou where the zoo is free
Get yo ass whacked for a muhfuckin key
Got dreads in my head but i ain’t chief keef
He dont own that car boy that shit is a lease
He don’t own that car boy that shit is a lease
I be fucking his bitch i be fucking his freak
I be high inna room be geeked then i’m sleep
Gun sound like a damn key on this beat
He ont get no pussy he beating his meat
Pillow talk to a hoe told him leave it in the streets
I wasn’t raised in the streets but i ain’t no pussy
Fuck nigga play get played like pussy
Dodging the bullet that fuck nigga lucky
We don’t that bitch cause that lil bitch is ugly
Nigga gun broke down cause his shit too rusty
And i’m smoking this gas and that shit too musty
Feel like mc hammer lil bitch can’t touch me
Got the glock in my hand you know imma rush em
Crazy ass nigga like them niggas in Russia
Catch ya ass lacking we ain’t doing no fussin
Bitch my name Guru or Lil Pint they call me boochienu
I got a choppa and it’s big the same size as my shoe
I’m sipping purple sipping act
Rest in peace DJ SCREW
I was that nigga up in school having hoes by twos
Don’t fuck with niggas cause i’m rude rude boyz that’s the crew
I got a choppa with a silencer it go kapoof

My shooters hella crazy shooting shit straight out the roof
Don’t play with me i shoot it’s Lil Pint or G U R U

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Guru" by Donald Byrd/Guru depict a persona named Guru or Lil Pint, who presents himself as a powerful and intimidating figure. The use of derogatory language like "bitch" and "nigga" suggests a brash and confrontational attitude. Guru boasts about possessing a large gun, comparing its size to his shoe, and implies that he is not to be messed with.

The reference to sipping purple and act can be interpreted as the consumption of lean or purple drank, a recreational drug concoction made from prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine. The mention of DJ SCREW, who was a significant figure in the Houston hip-hop scene and a known advocate for lean, indicates a tribute to his legacy.

Guru goes on to assert his dominance, bragging about his popularity with women and disregarding other men, labeling them as insignificant. The line "Don’t try to run cause these big bullets be faster than you" suggests that Guru is not afraid to use his firearm, reinforcing his tough persona.

The lyrics make reference to the location of the artist, the "lou," which is likely short for St. Louis, Missouri. Here, the rapper accentuates the bleak and violent nature of the city, emphasizing the potential consequences of engaging in criminal activities.

The second half of the song continues with Guru's self-aggrandizement and taunting of his adversaries. He suggests that while he may not have grown up in the streets, he is not to be underestimated or seen as weak. Guru seems to thrive on confrontation and is willing to participate in dangerous activities without fear.

Overall, "Guru" portrays a persona that revels in his reputation for aggression and violence. The lyrics express an unapologetic and assertive attitude, showcasing a desire to establish dominance and respect in their environment.
