Lyrics

[Intro: RZA] Yeah, yeah, a special guest appearance From the slums.... yo, ayo [Verse 1: RZA] I examine your diameter, third eye light the camera up Be careful, I got four ninjas inside your parameter Perimeter, flame burst out all sides like Gamera My poisonous is released, gas from the canister Raise the Black fist, we keep the Earth on it's axis I make a good day move slow like molasses Welcome to the bee hive, dual processor with the G5 There's not a tape or disco break I can't revive In this hi-tech world of firewire and microchip We still keep the four-five clip, filled with the spiral tip [Verse 2: GZA] I come from the 36 Chambers of danger With many lyrical swordsmen, that quick to change ya The difficulty to see closely, is mostly It's a critical point, when you rap niggas approach me Like the blind, deaf, dumb who mind was left numb A non B-Boy nigga, couldn't rhyme to the drum When I started MC'ing I entered, the gates of pleasure Not knowing, I be coming with too much to measure With the math of an elder, and the steel of a welder The path of tray, that I had laid down, that held the Blueprint, that would draw attention like the Pope I examine all with the internal mirror of the scope [Interlude: Sen Dog talking] [Verse 3: RZA] Supreme deluxe edition, CREAM with a touch of wisdom Fiends death throughout the system; streams I conduct, you listen How you gonna tell me no? Yo, the fuck you isn't Locked in a four block radius like a public prison Twenty two year old, dunn ain't got a cup to piss in But he got a borrowed gun, index knuckle twitching And he got a baby moms and her cousin bitching Went to catch a body, now he stuck in another prison [Verse 4: Raekwon] When you see it, you better acknowledge it, all swords Blaze the green hundred fours Pull out on you, blew you for the cause in Sudan Oust a nigga, seclude you from my Clan This is war, the Glock ACEs, on cameras sniffin' raw Why try to fuck with these lecturers? I'm so high powered, my electrical structure blew down the floor You was king for a second – I rang, came with a different name The W.T.C. Family and more – one! [Interlude: Sen Dog talking] [Verse 5: GZA] They applause when I make my entrance I move on 'em with age and experience, before I start the sentence The rhyme was designed to meet most demand With enough to compensate, fertilize the land We blew out the belt drive; M.C.'s, they felt vibes Powerful dart narrowly missing your whole tribe Scientists look at the magnitude and devastation But the strands of heavy metal seem to have no relation But it's always potential for large scale disasters Because the instrumental spins a hundred times faster Many was taken, was at the price of a pawn The collective loss had left a thousand to mourn Them Clansmen, are the nucleus of Hip-Hop There's no room for error, M.C.'s will get dropped Evidence of terrifying threats from heat pressure Powered by strong winds that blew rhymes off the dresser The word spread through the town, from Yonkers to Lefferts Is to kill off the slang, was a city wide effort But they couldn't be more wrong My click was all strong Fit together seamlessly, 'til you're all gone [Interlude: Sen Dog talking] [Outro: Susan Polgar] The Queen, by far, is the strongest piece She too should not be prematurely brought into play during the opening Or she will be attacked by weaker pieces, and driven back It is very dangerous to make a raid with the Queen early on in the game It is best, in opening, to make but one move with the Queen And that, to a square where she is not exposed To any direct or indirect attack
