Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When a motherfucker steps out his place
And gets slapped in his motherfuckin' face
Just because the motherfucker tried to base
The G O D, the G O D
And while I see his whole clique pass us by
Motherfuckers think they qualify
And for those **** want to try
The G O D, the G O D
[Verse 2]
Yo
I'm not caught up in politics
I'm no black activist on a so called scholar's dick
I come through with the Wu and drop math
And versatile freestyle bombs and phonographs
And deliver all things in number and weight
Searched to death on how living things relate
'Cause at a young age I was molded in a religion I relied on
And got caught up in superstition
Scared to split pole duck black cats
Once in a while threw salt over my back
But with knowledge of self from off the shelf
Made things seemed complicated now small live elves
So turn off the lights, light a candle and have a seance
Pull the lid off the Dean Martin scandal
Witches, warlocks, spooks and holy ghosts
RZA, let's defraud the hoax
[Verse 3]
When a motherfucker steps out his place
And gets slapped in his God damn face
Just because the **** buddy tried to base
The G O D, the G O D
And while I see his whole clique pass us by
Motherfuckers think they qualify
And for those **** want to try
The G O D, the G O D
[Verse 4]
We were on the same ship when the slaves were checked
I had to pull your card, you was on the top deck
So I plotted my escape
I saw the thin line between love and hate
And fast from the hog on the plate
I suffered brutal pain from whips and chains
Punishments that were set to wash the brain
So look, listen, observe and also respect this jewel
Drawed up, detect and reflect this
Light I shine because my power is redefined
Through the truth which manifest through external minds
Purified gases and masses the same elements
That helped spark civilization classes
I see brothers quote math plus degrees
Look at professor ass **** can't feed they own seeds
[Verse 5]
When a **** steps out his place
And gets slapped in his motherfuckin' face
Just because the **** buddy tried to base
The G O D, the G O D
And while I see his whole clique pass us by
Motherfuckers think they qualify
And for those **** want to try
The G O D, the G O D
[Verse 6]
When a motherfucker steps out his place
And gets slapped in his God damn face
Just because the **** buddy tried to base
The G O D, the G O D
And while I see his whole clique pass us by
Motherfuckers think they qualify
And for those **** want to try
The G O D, the G O D
