Yo, yo one two one two, yo live in effect
We got the king, Ruler Zig-Zag-Zag Allah
Commonly known to y'all as, the RZA
Yo, before we go into side two or side B of this double CD Know what I'm sayin'? I want to give y'all a little announcement man
For the last year there's been a lot of music comin' out
The sh** been weak, know what I'm sayin'?
A lot of n***az trying to take hip-hop And make that sh** R n' B, rap and bullsh** ya know what I'm sayin'?
Or make that sh** funk
f** that, this is MCin right here, this is hip-hop
Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang, gonna bring it to you in the purest form I got the GZA on my side, k**ah Priest
Sunz of Man, Royal Fam, k**army, Gravediggaz, 12 O'Clock
Yo, we want to let y'all n***az know somethin' man
To my people all across the world, Japan, Europe, know what I'm sayin'? Canada, know mean, Austria, Germany, Sweden
Yo, this is true hip-hop you listenin' to right here
In the pure form, this ain't no R n' B with a wack n***a takin' the loop
Be loopin' that sh** thinkin' it's gonna be the sound of the culture Ya know what I'm sayin'?
(That player bullsh**)
Ya know what I'm sayin'? All that player dressin' up
On this sh**, actin' like this some kind of fashion show man Ya know what I'm sayin'? This is hip-hop right here
Ya know what I'm sayin'? This is lyrics, MCin
And yo, to y'all n***az who think you going to become an MC overnight
Ya know what I'm sayin'? Better snap out that f**in' dream Man it takes years for this you, cat in the hat a** rappers
You Dr. Seuss, Mother Goose, simple minded
(Stop runnin' up on n***az with all that wack sh**)
Word up man
(I'm talking about you MC's) You ain't no MC, n***az ain't made for this ya know what I'm sayin'?
This sh** was only built for Cuban Linx, we told y'all n***az back then
And then everybody wanted to change their motherf**in' name
Ya know what I'm sayin'? We come out with a style Now everybody wanna imitate our style and all you producers out there
Ya know what I'm sayin'? It's all good to show love to a n***a
But stop bitin' 'my sh**, ya know what I'm sayin'?
Come from your own heart with this sh** And all y'all MC's, stop biting from my n***az
We told ya'll n***az on the f**ing Cuban Linx album
Don't bite our sh**, y'all n***az keep biting
Yo, I'm going to tell y'all something man It's time for the Wu revolution right here
To all my n***az across the world
Raise your motherf**ing fist in the air
And get ready for the Triumph
'Cause the Gods is here to take over this sh** word up, peace
