GZA/Genius - Swordsman lyrics

Chorus: When a motherf**er steps out his place And gets slapped in his motherf**in face Just because the motherf**er tried to base The g.o.d., the g.o.d. And while I see his whole click pa**es by Motherf**ers think they qualify And for those n***az want to try The g.o.d., the g.o.d. Verse one: Yo I'm not caught up in politics I'm no black activist on a so-called scholar's dick I come through with the wu and drop math And versatile freestyles bombs and phonographs And deliver, all things and other in weight Searched to d**h, on how living things relate Cause at a young age, I was molded in a religion I relied on And got caught up in superstition Scared to split pole, duck black cats Once in a while, threw salt over my back But with knowledge of self from off the shelf Made things seemed complicated now small like elves So turn off the lights light a candle, and have a seance Pull the lid off the dean martin scandal Witches warlocks spooks and holy ghosts Rza lets defraud the host Chorus Verse two: We were on the same ship when the slaves were checked I had to pull your card you was on the top deck So I plotted my escape, I saw the thin line between love and hate And fast from the hog on the plate I suffered brutal pains, from whips and chains Punishments that were set to wash the brain So look listen observe and also respect this j**el Drawed up, di-tect and reflect this Light I shine, that cause my power to be find Through the truth, which manifest through eternal minds Purified gases and ma**es the same elements That helped spark civilization cla**es I see brothers quote math plus degrees Look at professor a** n***az can't feed they own seeds Chorus 2x
