[00:00.907] When I was little, my father was famous
[00:06.303] He was the greatest samurai in the empire
[00:11.086] And he was the Shogun's decapitator
[00:14.851] He cut off the heads of a 131 lords
[00:20.190] It was a bad time for the empire
[00:24.523] The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out
[00:30.753] People said his brain was infected by devils
[00:35.735] My father would come home, he would forget about the killings
[00:40.930] He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him
[00:46.317] Maybe that was the problem
[00:51.008] Then, one night, the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house
[01:04.459] They were supposed to kill my father but they didn't
[01:16.867] That was the night everything changed
[01:19.037] See, sometimes
[01:20.955] You gotta flash 'em back
[01:22.161] See n****s don't know where this sh*t started
[01:23.593] Y'all know where it came from
[01:25.608] I'm saying we gonna take y'all back to the source
[01:27.408] Do the knowledge, yo
[01:28.856] When the MCs came to live out the name
[01:32.198] And to perform, some had
[01:34.515] To snort cocaine to act insane
[01:37.184] Before Pete rocked it on
[01:39.238] Now on with the mental plane
[01:41.410] To spark the brain with the building to be born
[01:44.419] Yo, RZA, flip the track with the what to cut
[01:47.388] Fake n****s get flipped in mic fights I swing swords and cut clowns
[01:53.329] Sh*t is too swift to bite you record and write it down
[01:56.129] I flow like the blood on a murder scene, like a syringe
[01:59.234] On some wild out sh*t to insert a fiend
[02:02.020] But it was your op to shop stolen art
[02:04.119] Catch a swollen heart from not rolling smart
[02:06.337] I put mad pressure on phony wack rhymes that get hurt
[02:09.481] Sh*t's played like zodiac signs on sweatshirts
[02:12.219] That's minimum and feminine like sandals
[02:14.940] My minimum table stacks a verse on a gamble
[02:17.702] Energy is felt once the cards are dealt
[02:20.251] With the impact of roundhouse kicks from black belts
[02:22.989] That attack, the mic-phones like cyclones or typhoon
[02:26.587] I represent from midnight to high noon
[02:28.909] I don't waste ink, n****, I think
[02:31.055] I drop megaton bombs more faster than you blink
[02:33.847] 'Cause rhyme thoughts travel at a tremendous speed
[02:36.543] Do clouds of smoke of natural blends of weed
[02:39.244] Only under one circumstance that's if I'm blunted
[02:41.907] Turn that sh*t up, my Clan in Da Front want it
[02:44.438] Now when the MCs came to live out the name
[02:47.343] And to perform, some had
[02:49.981] To snort cocaine to act insane
[02:52.662] Before Pete rocked it on
[02:54.584] Now on with the mental plane to spark the brain
[02:57.989] With the building to be born
[03:00.012] Yo, the RZA flip the track with the what to cut
[03:06.037] I'm on a Mission that n****s say is Impossible
[03:08.777] But when I swing my swords they all choppable
[03:11.541] I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper
[03:14.329] Child educator, plus head amputator
[03:16.980] 'Cause n****s styles are old like Mark 5 sneakers
[03:19.700] Lyrics are weak like clock radio speakers
[03:22.424] Don't even stop in my station and attack
[03:25.099] While your plan failed, get derailed like Amtrak
[03:27.618] What the f**k for? Down by law, I make law
[03:30.262] I be justice, I sentence that ass two to four
[03:32.948] Round the clock, that state pen time, check it
[03:35.664] But the pens I be sticking with, you can't state the crime
[03:38.513] Came through with the Wu, slid off on the DL
[03:41.789] I'm low-key like seashells, I rock these bells
[03:44.875] Now come aboard, it's Medina bound
[03:46.663] Enter the chamber and it's a whole different sound
[03:49.364] It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel
[03:52.081] So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels
[03:54.843] N****s are fascinated how the sh*t begin
[03:57.253] Get vaccinated, my logo is branded in your skin
[04:00.071] When the MCs came to live out the name
[04:03.176] And to perform, some had
[04:05.468] To snort cocaine to act insane
[04:08.218] Before Pete rocked it on
[04:10.152] Now on with the mental plane to spark the brain
[04:13.622] With the building to be born
[04:15.604] Yo, RZA flip the track with the what to cut
