Gza (formerly Known As The Genius) - 7 Pounds lyrics

[Verse 1] Speakin' of this art form this slang is dangerous MC's are like s**m cells, a gang of us Fightin' to reach the egg Bitin' and loose a leg Odds are like one in ten million, a thin thread One from a thousand speaks in his own voice the other 999 imitates without choice Never even knowing it until the going gets Rough See the amplified sample I've flowin' with I grab the microphone, the unthinkable happens See the rocket's red glare like the guns a' clappin' They steel cage matchin' MC's is scrappin' Not the UFC but my opponent's tappin' So don't let a little bit of fear turn to hatred I was sent as the savior to revive what was sacred Also stop this uncalled-for behavior Sylphic rap cats they lack taste and flavor [Chorus] Got word from the wise to let it drop Set this on fire, take aim and let it pop Because, regardless to whom or what even with doors shut I'm givin' 'em straight raw you're bringin' 'em more cut Like Bolivian rock, your watered down hip hop Rap so outta shape and far from tip-top Pearls next to pebbles Spoons against shovels Dictators next to rebels and Gods against Devils. [Verse 2] No time for backwards thinkin' let's think ahead, If you wanna sleep when you awake, then make your bed A lot of MCs came to see me on referrals Not even knowing that they would undergo great perils These cutting edge methods from the most specialized Craftsmen, the last minute before the vessel flies The lord of the art strikes a chord in your heart Your ear love to hear the god rip the track apart To me hip hop is like Einstein to science; A match made in heaven, most likely an alliance Complex individual that you dream of being Intellectual charlatan, the all-high-seeing Got an appetite for heat so then come and bite the beat,n' Digest the rest and don't stress the part you couldn't eat. [Chorus]
