Lyrics

[Intro: 60 Second Assassin (RZA) {Hell Razah}] Here in the first chapter First, first, first, the last, the last, the last (And It Was Written) Here in the first chapter {of life, life, life} [Chorus 2.25X: Hell Razah] Life tell lies, death in our face Every other day we killin' off our own race Whether drugs, guns, somethin common known This is the place that we all call home [60 Second Assassin] Here in the first chapter, draws attention Begins all that we've forgotten, sense of smell, then parallel Wide scale, Franklin Avenue [?] stopper Puttin' 'nam on the map a.k.a. Putnam Avenue facts Rugged's incorporated, teflon penetrated [?], that leave ya blood on it Comin' out of meditation, words become radiation Anticipatin' any next motivation, fakin' on the federation Yo, black, who that? Where he at? Fuck him, I guess a tit for a tat, settin' it off as a black on black Even SWAT-men don't swindle as ya fire get put out of its kindle As the day, break ten nights Even the knowledge better call on ya heart Scream from ya lungs, "Allahu Akbar!" Rap Tai Chi Master, chess player 'til my plasma Your thought get broke down ten years from now Doin' a matter like I'm on after this has-been A rap industry master, 60 Second Assassin When I get right down to it, iiiiit lay more black than Africa Now who? What? Challenger, challenges universal balances of analysis Another level from bein' talented Travel the world with a gift that shoots like silencers The fifty-two Glock, Riker's Islander [RZA (60 Second Assassin)] Protons-Electrons (silence this) Always-Cause-Explosions [Prodigal Sunn] My occupation on the plantation, survival in the land of psychos Deluded with men, polluted within, engage in sin Sparkin' wars against the veteran, the righteous herbal medicine And antidote from Bed-Stuy to Park Slow Strives, I spoke and wrote, made to condense into smoke Knowledge these authors, holdin' a black [?], inhalin' ganja The here and after, shatter bones, combin' the matter The seventh chapter of rapture begins, is a disaster Demolishin' fake advocators, perpetrators Nigga haters, hydro-chronics blowin' out the generator There's no need to bleed so don't proceed To get yourself broke up, flamed like some trees [Hell Razah] I could trap all the people who dare try to religion me Of breathin in the false, our seeds Believin' in, by the time, a mystery could fall out the skies Our necks'll be permanently paralyzed For lookin' at the camouflaged lies And we dyin' in Hell, I arrive half dead But now resurrected, my head connected To the correct, directions to Heaven My mind is rejected from hell But they say our spirit is accepted, to dwell Inside reality, I take advantage Destroy y'all, give brain damage Returnin' heads into an abandoned building Bricks, for the innocent, the ignorant Come to talk to homeless thoughts off a immigrant To all predators, competitors, united reptiles, et cetera I be the black threat to America Disconnectin' the microchip in ya mind Then replace the disparate knowledge, I represent With intelligence for evidence, I let the skeleton out the closet The soul keeper, deeper than meditation, feel my concentration I demolish heads like the board of education [Killah Priest] As it is written.. as it is written My New Year's resolution, I read the whole book of Huey P. Newton The only solution is a revolution, the black evolution Will happen, one-hundred-twenty-fifth in Manhattan I'm strappin', I stop the tappin' and [?] I got the Devil tremblin' and rememberin' the time When you had a fiesta over our dead ancestors I got a full clip for you Uncle Festers You best to prepare or beware, I'm bout to hit up the Red Square Located where? In Russia, plus ya politicians And ya Christian society, they unwind me with hate Now I'm ya enemy because I tell you the truth Or is it because I got proof, or wear a army suits? Christ is black and I got facts, readin' revelations I got tons of information, that's why I pack more heat than insulation Twelve lost tribes of a nation just waitin' for Satan To make his move, so I could show and prove So let me hear the war drums a little louder Let me hear a chord rush, ya holler No man knoweth the hour, nor the time But surely it's comin' as it is written, as it is written As it is written, as it is written, as it is written.. [Hell Razah] No man knoweth the hour, nor the time No man knoweth the hour, nor the time No man knoweth the hour, nor the time But surely it be comin', as it is written, as it is written As it is written
