When You're Near
Guru Lyrics
Uh, yeah you're something else
You know I love it when you're near me, you're near me
I like the vibe I get from you babe
I get, from you
And it's your style that I like too babe
That I like, too
I like it when you're near
Speak to me in my ear
Come closer over here
Please, give me more, I need it I want it
You can see I'm all up on it
So can you come up for a second baby, second baby
You and me, can be so free
You inspire, to take me higher
I want you now, to show me how
To relax me, and light my fire
If I tell you that your touch is precious
Would you not forget this, would your heart protect us?
Endless, are my emotions for you, heh
I guess that's why I do the things I do, I do
Your look is definitely tempting
I want to, seduce
I know things I want to do to you babe
I want, to prove
I like it when you're near
Speak to me in my ear
Come closer over here
Lady where you goin', let me kick it to you
Cause lately I've been wantin' to get closer to you
And I think you get the message love, message love
You and me, can be so free
You inspire, to take me higher
I want you now, to show me how
To relax me, and light my fire
You and me, can be so free
You inspire, to take me higher
I want you now, to show me how
To relax me, and light my fire
You're brilliant, no I can't conceal it, I feel it
The signals that I get from you, tell me you're with it
And I'm gonna wine and dine and romance ya
Take the chance to let you know that I dig ya
I figure, that my time won't be wasted
The way I'm gonna kiss your lips, yo I can taste it
It's not about just hittin' the skins
It's your style, your vibe, seen?
I like it when you're near
Speak to me in my ear
Come closer over here
Wait wait wait
I want to talk to you a minute love
I'm sayin', I'm not lyin' about lovin' you
You and me, can be so free
You inspire, to take me higher
I want you now, to show me how
To relax me, and light my fire
You and me, can be so free
You inspire, to take me higher
I want you now, to show me how
To relax me, and light my fire
I like the vibe you're givin' me babe (I like the vibe when you're near me baby)

1. A rapper from the United States and member of alternative hip-hop duo Gang Starr
2 A rapper from Ghana
1. (July 17, 1961 – April 19, 2010) was one half of the legendary hip hop duo Gang Starr and an accomplished solo artist. Guru, an acronym for Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal, originally began his hip hop career in Boston but due to lack of local support moved to New York where Gang Starr then blew up. Guru was well known for his smooth voice; socially conscious and hardcore lyrics; and an effortless, confident delivery.
Founded in 1987, Gang Starr built a sizable following in the early 90's, releasing classic albums like Step in the Arena (1991) and Daily Operation (1992). Guru's lyrical style was based on battle rhymes delivered smoothly, modestly, and with sly wit; he typically avoided using overwhelming charisma, focusing instead on his rhyming ability. Over the years he even took on younger rappers, including Jeru the Damaja, as proteges. He is credited, along with DJ Premier, for the executive production of Jeru's debut, The Sun Rises in the East (1994).
In 1993, he released his first solo album, Jazzmatazz, Vol. 1. The album featured collaborations with Donald Byrd, N'Dea Davenport, Dee C. Lee, and Roy Ayers, whilst his second LP, Jazzmatazz, Vol. 2: The New Reality, featured Ramsey Lewis, Branford Marsalis, and Jamiroquai. The Jazzmatazz albums have been met with mixed reviews, Guru continued with Jazzmatazz, Vol. 3: Streetsoul (2000) and Baldhead Slick & Da Click (2001).
Moreover, recent Gang Starr albums have continued to garner Guru critical acclaim. Prominent Boston underground rapper Mr. Lif frequently cites Guru as a major stylistic influence; he appears as a guest with Lif on the Perceptionists' debut album, Black Dialogue (2005).
Besides Gang Starr, his Jazzmatazz and solo albums, Guru collaborated with countless artists since the early 90s. Not only in Hip-Hop, but also with artists from various genres such as pop, electronica/dance, acid jazz, and even brass bands.
His "first proper solo album", in his own words, was Version 7.0: The Street Scriptures (2005), released with the help of producer and new backup MC/producer Solar. The album reached #1 on the college hip-hop charts, but was a failure with both fans and critics. It still managed to sell relatively well for an independent release.
Guru's latest project is the fourth installment in the Jazzmatazz series, entirely produced by Solar. It was released in early June 2007 and received good reviews and comments from fans.
In 2007 Guru was ranked at 45 for the Top 50 MCs of our time: 1987-2007
On February 28th 2010, Guru suffered a severe heart attack and was in a coma. He passed away on April 19, 2010 at the age of 49 after a long battle with cancer.
2. Guru also refers to a Ghanaian hip-hop artist known for his single "LaPaz Toyota" and the song "Akayida" - basis for a azonto dance craze
