[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…

[Genius:]
Tommy ain’t my motherf–kin’ Boy
When he fake moves on a n—a you employ
Well I’ll Emerge off ya set, now ya know God damn
I show living large n—az how to flip a Def Jam
And Ruff up the motherf–kin’ House
Cause I smother you Cold Chillin’ mother f–kers are still Warner Brothers
I’m ruthless my clan don’t have to act wild
That s–t is Jive, an old sleeping Bag/Profile
This soft comedian rap s–t ain’t the rough witty
On the reel to reel it wasn’t from a Tuff City
N—as be game, thinking that they lyrical surgeons

To my n—a AZ to the fullest

We was already loyal to people’s minds and mulianis
Now we more f—ed up with a mayor named Guliani
You can try to bomb me analyze but can’t define me
My mind’s divine heavily entwined with Ghandi’s

Far from feeble, I leave your nostrils hard to breathe through
‘Cause my cerebrals are more of a higher plane than the Hebrews
Well my mic devotion brings out my deepest emotions
Overdosing wannabes posing sending them through convulsions

To hard to follow, you took a bite but couldn’t swallow
Your mind’s boggled but I’m as deep as Donald Goines novels
My whole persona’s kinda laid back like a recliner
And since my mama, I been f—ing with marijuana

Ludicrously speedy, or infectious with the slow-mo
Heard me in the eighties, J Beez on the promo
On my never ending quest to get the paper on the
