Its true - the shaolin and the wu-tang, could be dangerous!
[method man]
Uh-huh, mr. biggs, track masters (woo!)
Its a wu-tang official right here yknow
[inspectah deck]
Yeah, the employees of the year yeah were back to work
We took time off, while other rappers got jerked
Shits bout to change now, its a shame how
Things aint the same but Im back in the game now
And as we step in the door, we cause panic
Yep, the usual suspects, we at it
Vexed at it, yall went a week with the belt
Few chicks felt your style, now you feelin yourself
Meet your maker, I dropped you at eight years old
I got stock in your flow and crops to sharehold
Crops with the prose where cops wont dare go
Got top centerfolds too hot to wear clothes
Still me - always have and will be
Ill g - its silly to hate but feel free
Hey - hear what I say, they gotta pay
And my return is like christ, declare the holiday
[chorus: ron isley]
Back in the game now.. copped me some weed now
My people bout to eat now.. shits bout to change now
Back in the game now.. all my niggaz in the hood now
Better catch up now.. shits bout to change now
[method man]
Uh, yall see Im in the street strugglin
Young dumb and thuggin, give a fuck about nuttin
Stuck at rock bottom, tryin to come up on somethin
Pumpin from sundown to sun-up, we hustlin
Vision my nigga now get in where you fit in
And see prison, as just the high cost of livin the life
Ante up cause if you blow the dice
On that o-z, dorothy aint goin home tonight
Thats on erythang, put it on the kids and the wife
Been buryin my folks ever since they raised the price on the coke
Searchin for a quick antidote
Mo money, mo problems to cope
[gza]
We were at the same table when the chips were checked
A gamblin +rebel+ who +inspects+ the +deck+
Just when you thought we would fold our hand
Against all odds we raised the bet like we changed the plans
It was live on air but in between station breaks
I was holdin a pair and just made the table stakes
Split the demos, put insurance on tapes
A safeguard against the crusaders in capes
If I double down they say the gods are sharks
If we win against the house they thought the cards was marked
We draw hit after hit from a royal flush menu
While the dealer promoted the full house venue
A spade in the club with the heart to wear diamonds
The high roller who got credit upon signin
They look puzzled when I shuffle, most of em stunned by the hustle
Recourse of bluff games your muscle
[chorus - 0.75x]
[raekwon] say what? (shaolin shadowboxing!)
[r. isley] shits bout to change..
[raekwon the chef]
Aiyyo, on rainy days I sit back and count ways on
How to get rich, coolin with a mean ill jamaican bitch
Banana coat matchin with the ratchet
Lil black weave sweatpants style, air force is actin
Jump in the 6, kicks look crisp, talkin bout the bird
Flow through your hood in the mean tints thats giant
Its like the family that flipped on you for lyin
Buried you alive, left your whore cryin
We on your floor look more doors
Dey aint ate either, I hope yall niggaz is armed
And when we get there, all my niggaz in the mix
Yeah shallah lex, diamond got me buyin louis rich
[ghostface killah]
Most people say the clan was missin since I got dropped offa radio
Overnight your whole style was bitten in the process
Everybody switched they names like
Whatcha call it, any fast (? )
It was the gods that repped that, sharkskin dark skinned bitches
Clarks from digi left the game dizzy
Ooh got busy, that dancey shit slid through
We had to stay hood cause thats who we been through
Rza came through, mastermind got the cash and power
Proof that power plastered divine classical lines
Mathematical rhymes, the style is unbearable
Now niggaz with the radical shines
Its ghost-deini, every coast need me
We back motherfucker thats right, its the w.t.c.
World trade center, wu-tang clan
We brought so much heat that we was givin you tears an shit
