Natural
Tony Touch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[after DJ Premier intro]
[Guru]
It's that wise older brother
That mind-moldin brother
Still that nine-holdin brother, spittin like no other
I smother other rappers as they gasp for air
Came to give you exactly what you asked for here
I'm like a one man task force here
And once again, brains on bend as I go half with Premier
Here, I go you the mic, sike
This is my stage kid, you'll feel my rage kid tonight
Who's gangsta, who's flossin, who's thuggin, who's boss man
I'm here to get respect from L.A. from Boston
My celly rings often 'cause I got the goods
MC's ride the wood, any beef I got the hoods
Now come come now, what the heck were you thinkin
Feel the dumb dumb's now, leavin you numb while you leakin
I'm speakin, just to let you rap pro's know
Ain't no gimmicks, no phony image, 'cause I'm a natural

[Chorus] 2x
The natural, the actual, the factual
The classical, the radical
You want to act tough, we ain't mad at you
It's just that we are here to adjust your phony attitude

Gang Starr, we holdin it down just like a gat'll do
[Guru]
So natural, chicks in VIP come downstairs
Rush me in pairs, shouldn't have brought them around here
The rules say don't check the pimp, check the hoe
Check the flow, I'm all up in the trap catchin the bankroll
My steel shank holds one in the chamber like Antonio
'Course I'm a stand-up guy, but you don't know me though
I'm righteous, but I might just unveil my portfolio
The plot just thicken and you've been stricken like polio
Who's so-and-so, I'm tired of the lackluster busters




It's the black General Custard, the king conductor to dust ya
Touch ya, 'cause you ha

Overall Meaning

The song "Natural" by Tony Touch starts off with a DJ Premier intro before Guru takes over the microphone. Guru calls himself the wise older brother who is still holding a nine, meaning a gun, while he is spitting like no other rapper. He says he is here to give the audience exactly what they asked for and he’s like a one-man task force. Then he calls out other rappers who are trying to act like gangsters or tough guys but they have phony attitudes that need to be adjusted. Guru says that he is a natural and there are no gimmicks involved in his rap because he is the real deal.


In the chorus, Guru and the Gang Starr team declare that they are the natural, actual, and factual rappers with a classical and radical style. They are here to adjust any phony attitudes and they are holding it down just like a gat, which is another term for a gun. Guru then continues with his verses where he talks about having chicks in VIPs and how they all rush to be with him. He calls out other rappers who are lackluster busters and declares himself to be the black General Custard who can dust anyone, anytime.


Overall, the song "Natural" by Tony Touch presents Guru as a rapper who is all about keeping it real and not pretending to be someone he is not. He shows that he is a wordsmith with an ability to rhyme and flow, and he warns others not to mess with him because he is the real, natural deal.
