Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Check these high hats, thing things, movin' through the rubbish
Party robust, rec room style for you brothers
Time's tickin', erupt misconduct
Entering one funk before the drum dry up
Dial, style, jab vocab slow
Alphabet run construction voice might blow
Tap dance, swelling Hemingway, novel model
For a breather, dirty reefer hide your bottle
Cut down come with somethin' that's 'round and profound
Blood brothers, people of colors, we get down
Watch us fly, force feed things bein' said
Nine diagram acid black evil red leathers
Mic never dangle, serious a man
My mic clapper death wish, everlasting clan
Heavenly God body, know me as the cleaner
Night champion, old villain style steamer
Kiss a spider, Seagal saga, why bother?
Godfather talk drama, fly swatters
[Verse 2]
This Wu shit be hard to kill when full blown
Rhyme filtered through the net before words hit the chrome
Pro tools editin' tracks, that's rough
'Cause a jam without a live MC isn't enough
So we attack this, and grab all within reach
Throw the scrap back to ****, perfect your own speech
Shit is copper, it ain't worth the mic stands
Use my backup singers in Atlantic City bands
**** look on they get hooked on this mic line
Reeled in and shipped through the pipeline
LP's delivered with style and potential
**** flowin' smoothly in a sequential
Order, revealin' hidden tape recorders
Stashed inside pockets of those who lack aura
[Verse 3]
Twist the DAC up, them **** with math is backed up
Watch he act up, fifty-two block track we slap up
Playground maneuver, jet to Vancouver like this
Two Kahlúas one chick, she's German Luger
Get the shit on, light a fresh pack, bust it open with the seal on
Done deal on this with the real on
Next rocky ring, call it the Decatur
Slang soufleer home decorater, player
Mic immigrants, nine of us formed resemblance
Somethin' flashy, god dead-armed it's nasty
Peep the ornaments enough to make Shorty-Wop stare at me yo
He killed the god, might as well throw a chair at me
[Verse 4]
Yo, MC's wonder what's hip hop thunder?
Tell you the truth, it just one nation under a groove
Gettin' down for the funk of it
Like Fred Sanford in the biz
Yo, inhale this paraphernalia, a Wu memorabilia
Melba the fortune teller tried to tell ya
'Bout the group recruit, we scoop up cream like Breyer's
Then spread across the globe like telephone wires
Thirty-six assorted, Shaolin imported
Change what's been recorded, you're fuckin' with the loot
It's time for royalty audit
Fabulous establishment, metabolism, Blackfoot Indian
Cherokee started out smaller than amphibian
Then grew to a physical body with five meridians
As the pendulum swings close to the millennium
Two thousand, wickedness is spread amongst my citizen
I gotta muscle, the industrial to make a hustle
And politic with Leon Russel
When **** is still rushin we'll brush you
[Verse 5]
Thoughts are contained in the trenches of the brain
Ignite, blowin' the mic to Arabian heights
As I recite this medley
**** couldn't fuck with the deadly grounds I hold down
Classical gangland style, shots hit the ceilin'
Panic and confusion echoes through the buildin'
Continuin' the bill, I strive for perfection
Driven by the will to live, Glocks I hold, shots I give
While searches and rescue teams look for means of survival
And who's liable for this harrowin' experience
You scream for the extreme
Fiend for the capo regimes of the Wu-Tang academy
To fuck up your anatomy with assault and battery
