GZA - Unprotected Pieces lyrics

[Intro: Movie Sample] We would drive them to the limit Drive the invading forces to the limit Where they lose their patience, and they will lose their hope And the day will come, where they are driven down To their lowest level and give up, this is the first time this Earth That the habitual, articulate, how they plan to try and win They plan to fight and do it here But making sure, that they're losing their patience And that they will lose their hope The third rail will always live it to it's lowest level [Verse 1: GZA] Due the hellish events, the days were numbered Agitated and withdrawn, the addicts wonder Moving through eternal hell, constantly beaming In the grips of evil, wrestling with their own demons An ordinary ride, extraordinary challenge That get caught between boroughs that was very hard to balance Where the shots got louder, witnesses kept silent Through those 12 terrain days of the summer, that stay violent Soldiers that'll grill, to the boss' desire Captivated by the idea of speed and quick to fire Rushed, his orders came in a commanding tone Carried out, executed within a, battle zone Action, spoke louder than words, that made him walk Cuz these kids had came with more music, than less talk Thinkin' that they was bigger than U.S. Steel They couldn't close a deal, without a cap to peel But once the act of fear, is exceptionally calm With unanswered questions, what harms the firearm It beats k**ing the counter, horrific in it's own way A groundbreaking case, that lasted for another day [Hook] This is the city of fast money, expensive cars, topless bars Movie stars and executives with fat cigars Record labels that ain't stable, with low appraisals And the lie that burn bridges due to fragile cables [Verse 2: GZA] Write off that unpredictable things could happen Well aware of the sudden danger, we start scrapping Violence can erupt within the blink of an eye As a three night reign of terror, light up the skies Other uprisings are in the years of making The young start sizing up the hood, and get to taking A high voltage power line, surrounds the gold mine Soldiers on the front line, who sell dimes and hold nines Many times enjoying themselves, much too much They hit the clutch, before they pull out on such and such It's a very unforgiving environment, cuz one out of two Can get an early retirement, for many different reasons The tale of the tape, is uneven What they perceive as a prank, had stopped them from breathing He was known to run towns, and brutally gun down He said it was a great risk for him to be around [Hook]
