[small boy]. . It was the summer of '77.. NewYork was just recovering from the raves due to the blackout.. HipHop was young and growing rapidly, it was during that time when my father would oftent make journeys accross waters. From Shaolin on his [not clear?] to where many say this art form started. The ferry, or the boat, as most called it, was a floatin' forum, for talent especially MC's, who would often battle while in route to the city. It was on the boat, where he would sharpen his sword on neighborhood MC's, preparing for the battles that were soon to come....
Yo, I gotcha back but you best to watch your front. 'Cause it's the niggaz that front, they be pullin' stunts. I gotcha back but you best to watch your front.
You crunchy chump crabs get crumbled up like crack rock. Fuck wit the Wu we bustin' ya whole snot box. Throw ya right ear to ya bitch up in a zip lock.
An MC stepped to me, lying about one. Kid that rolled with him, who died in the outcome. Thinking he could get with me, gain victory. When the season's all on his beef was hickory.
Verso: I. Yo me estado preguntando si me quiere. Saber de ella ha sido en vano como duele.. Y al saber que ya no est y decida regresar.. Dentro de m me hara muy feliz..
[GZA]. I wiped the chrome off wit the dust cloth. 'Fore I bust off. What's the cause, life loss, high price to pay. For a small reward, kill for that Bushwick and Horsely broad.
Life of a drug dealer. Killah hills 10304. . Restaurant's on a stake-out so order the food to take out. Chaos outside of Sparks Steak House. Maintain the power, I feel the deal's gone sour.
Verso I. Busco una linda maana. Y una noche de placer. Fantasas en mi cama. Que TE quiere Y que te llama otra vez. Busco una meloda. Y que en MI letra estaras t.
A-yo shorty, yo that's my word. Oh, y'all smelling y'all piss now y'all think y'all gold. Yo anybody get caught flinging. Over here, I'm returning 'em, that's my word they getting blasted.
Verso I. Y pensar que te ame no lo pude creer no lo pude evitar.. Que fuistes para mi, me hisistes muy feliz todo puede pasar. por que algien ahora ocupa tu lugar...
I feel I'm a threat to high powered MC's. Cause when I roll up on their live shows they kinda freeze. From being approached by The Genius of rap. Whose poetry makes hands on a clock clap.
[Hell Razah]. Yeah, yeah yo. I'm like a whirlwind spinnin wit words of wisdom. In the ghetto only promised a hearse and system. We complete like the solar system.
They was told not to ride in Patty's Hearse. And stay out of Charles' Manson. Took Abraham's Lincoln through the Todd Bridges expansion. Willis Reid s a map that marks the spot showin'.
Yo, yeah check it, yo, yo, yo, yo. . Yo, if you think you can fuck wit the Wu Clan. Get ya nose swollen up like Toucan. If you think you can fuck wit the Wu Clan.
{Oh, mad one, we see your trap. You can never escape, your fate. Submit with honor to a duel, with my son. I agree. I see you using an old style. I wondered where you had learned it from.
She was born the daughter of a working girl. Her father she never knew. Her mother worked the alley's of a shipyard town. She never had time for school.
Talkin bout drama. . I met a young brother, how young about eight. He seemed intelligent and rather quite straight. I greeted him, and struck a conversation.
I keep your heart is PZA-pumping, the beat is GZA-jumping. The crowd get wild off my style, they want something. The herds start stomping, the promoters that be fronting.
[RZA]. Eh yo.... Turn my shit up son too. Yo. . [GZA]. You know exactly what i'm talking about,. Y'know?. . [Ol' Dirty Bastard]. I'm gonna crash your crew (x8).
I had a bad dream. Don't be afraid, bad dreams are only dreams. What a time you chose to be born in. . Babies crying, brothers dying and brothers getting knocked.
