Wu-tang Clan - Start The Show lyrics

[Intro: kung-fu movie samples] For money, I a**a**inate Today, I have an opponent that's worthy Now k**ing me You won't find that so easy [Chorus] Clap your hands Let's start the show, c'mon! Let's go One, two, three, four Said o!h! Clap your hands Uhh, let's start the show C'mon, c'mon I said one, two, three, four [Verse 1: Raekwon the Chef] Revolutionary gangster, the will to k** Everything up, my roots is steel Do it big time, march through the desert and shine Let the C's live free while we open the minds of every black man, white man, no color, my writing hand is like dynamite, I fight for land Blood stains yo, gettin money affect the plan We travel to Beijing and end up in Japan Hoods everywhere, bring the goods and gear And teach them how to hold mics and grow them beards Then stop, check my brothers and my sisters in Africa We know that's theirs, yes, we been actin up Bush f**ed the world up, and left our soldiers out in Iraq, bless them with roses Foes try to approach, we roast them goats We terrorize the city while forgettin the quotes [Chorus] [Verse 2: RZA] They tryin to take us back to Reaganomics with atomic bombs on Islamic countries to stop them from being Islamic But Islam is a way of life, Islam is the way of Christ Islam means peace, the beast must pay a price for his wickedness, politics is the trickiest business on this planet, the bandits are the slipperiest snakes who ever slithered, you ever stop to consider who's pulling these strings, from Napoleon to Hitler? Is there an unseen hand with the unseen plan? The unclean man from the unclean land Desire to k** the righteous dumbs down the brightest Give his life in this world that seem so lifeless Put a price on things, that are priceless Convince us that meanness is stronger than the niceness Who really has the power - is is theirs, is it ours? Is it a democracy, or the morning prowlers? Do we have a press or President? Is it a test or a testament? Pest or pestilence? Who got the evidence? Who got the common sense? Stop all the negligence [Chorus] [Raekwon the Chef] I oversee the world You taught me that, basically I'm moldin rap to be more than I can see Chef, Senator of Thoughts Democratic cats Saved by the judge The flavor, that was brought about that day Steaks come out, raw [Chorus] [Outro] "WU, TANG!"
