[Intro: RZA]
Lot of people, you know what I’m saying, they be getting misinformed
Thinking everything is everything, that you could just get yourself
A little deal, whatever, youknowhati’msayin you gonna get on you
Gonna get rich. and all these labels be trying to lure us in like
Spiders, into the web, knowhati’msaying. so sometimes people gotta
Come out and speak up, and let people understand, that you know you
Gotta read the label you gotta read the label if you don’t read the
Label you might get poisoned…

[Intro: Raekwon]
Uh-huh, what up son? Yeah
Maintaining, maintaining, you know?
You good, right? Everything proper, still, right?
Of course, come on, man, what’s the matter wit you, man?
Ain’t nothing, I just want us to be on

[Chorus: Method Man]
Tell a friend, it’s that symbol again, that W
Coming through, bust a shot on your block, give me a suu
Get it right, all my chicks hold ya t-ts, let’s get it in
All my n—as take a toke off this weed, let it begin
Here we go, yo, ya’ll already know what it do
Brand new, n—a, back from the slums, it be the Wu
Now throw ya W’s up, back from the slums, it be the Wu

[Raekwon]
You know how to dress a lad, get rocked, hundred bags, black doorags
Ski masks is on, g-rags
N—a try to take pictures, relax, still in the grass
You’ll learn respect, burst when I ask
Rhyme master busy, Rizzy on the subject
Love Deck, thug buried, drug vest, snub sets, killing the most
Night time toast, gorillas in boats, three boats
Realers is killa, gangsta feel notes
Hibernation yo, switch up, liver nation, fly information
Vivid vacation, deliberation moments
Move like ’91 Romans, cloning everything
Gents only, the rent’s on the stove, I’m in Rome
Maxed out, Amex style, my team brand bandits
Make a move and get blown off the planet, baby
Hold that cannon, just understand we got the whole s–t
Padlocked down, my n—as won’t have it

Intro: (first three lines LP only)

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
S–t is deep on the block and you got me locked down
in this cold, cold world…

Verse One: The GZA

It was the night before New Year’s, and all through the f–kin projects
Not a handgun was silent, not even a Tec
Outside as I’m stuck, by enemies who put fear
and blasted on the spot before the pigs were there
You know hoods robbers snipers new in sight f–k blue and white
They escape before them flash the f–kin lights
Gunshots, shatter first floor window panes
Shells hit the ground and blood stained the dice game
Whether broke callisthenic, any style you set it
Beat n—az toothless, physically cut up like gooses
But with iron on the sides thugs took no excuses
Therefore, your fifty-two handblocks was useless
Links was snatched off necks, scars on throats
Jackets took, after bullet rips through coats
Against those who felt the cold from the steel made em fold
and squeal, once the metal hit the temple of his grill
Destruction worker, who was caught for his bomber
No time to swing the hammer that was hangin from his Farmer’s
And it’s bugged how some n—az catch slugs

Intro Two: RZA

See, sometimes…
You gotta flash em back
See n—az don’t know where this s–t started
Y’all know where it came from
I’m sayin we gonna take y’all back to the source
We bounce, yo

Chorus: RZA, GZA

When the MC’s came, to live our their name
And to perform (forrrrm)
Some had, to snort cocaine (caiiinnne) to act insane (sannne)
with before Pete Rock-ed it on, now gone

with the building to be born
Yo RZA flip the track with the what to gut
Check em check chicka icka etta UHH

Verse One:

Fake n—az get flipped
In mic fights I swing swords and cut clown
S–t is too swift to bite you record and write it down
I flow like the blood on a murder scene, like a syringe
on some wild out s–t, to insert a fiend
But it was yo out the shop stolen art
Catch a swollen heart from not rollin smart
I put mad pressure, on phony wack rhymes that get hurt
S–t’s played, like zodiac signs on sweatshirt
That’s minimum, and feminine like sandals
My minimum table stacks a verse on a gamble
Energy is felt once the cards are dealt
