Allow me to demonstrate the sk** of Shaolin
The special technique of shadowboxing
[Intro: Inspectah Deck]
Poisonous, poisonous (word word word)
I should slap all y'all n***az for comin in my f**in face with that sh**
Alright cool yeah, go ahead man...
Poisonous
[Verse One: Inspectah Deck a.k.a. Rebel INS]
Poisonous paragraphs, smash ya phonograph
in half, it be the Inspectah Deck on the warpath
First cla** leavin mics with a cast
Causin ruckus like the aftermath when guns blast
Run fast, here comes the verbal a**aulta
Rhymes runnin wild like a child in a walker
I scored from the inner slums abroad
And my thoughts are razor sharp I sliced the mic from the cord
First they criticize, but now they have become
mentally paralyzed with hits that I devise
Now I testify, the rest is I, Rebel INS
Ya highness, blessed to electrify
with voltage of an eel, truth that I reveal'll
crush the amateurs who screamed to keep it real
Caesar black down hoodied up and fatigues
Part time minor leagues receive third degrees
Attack like a wolf pack, once I pull back
the God-U, and bust through like a fullback
[Verse Two: Ghostface k**ah a.k.a. Tony Starks]
Yo, you fourteen carat gold slum computer wizard
Tappin inside my rap vein causes blizzards
Do I like the k**s for ice trife like botta digits
Gorillas injected with strength of eighty midgets
The Earth spins ruins, rap exotic blends
Let my peeps in, n***az gaspin swallowin aspirins
What a dosage, you overdosed in rap
High explosives my post-its hypnotize with hypnosis
I sell goods, my whole Clan is on the run like Natural Born k**ers
Record-breaking the album Thriller
Now access the jig who has bombs and rocket launchers
Float like dope k**er bees is what I sponsor
Ya entrepeneur, pens and gear like shakespeare
When I f** I grab hair, collect drawers as souveneirs
f** yeah, my crew down German beers
My career is based on guns, throwin cats in wheelchairs
Etcetera, damage any lame a** competitor
Who try to front, get broken and pa**ed like leathers
Whatever hot hardheads get shattered like mirrors
Beretta shots splatter your goose, scatter ya feathers
Say never poetry chumps crumbs deal with graphic
Blew my family overseas in mansions
If rap was crack, fully packed I be tour cats
Tax the kingpin of the rap drug traffickin
Village n***az get slapped in Manhattan
for rappin, big Ghost steps off laffin
(Were you just using the Wu-Tang school method against me?
I've learned so many styles, forgive me)
[Verse Three: Raekwon the Chef a.k.a. Lou Diamonds]
Sit back relax, fake n***az don't get turns
Watch me ma**age ya brain with slang that's king
Projects filled with young men cause threats
Who is that? Thousand dollar chains and techs
Focus, the brokest n***az of life sh**
These mics is like c**aine Sun, check the suicidal hype sh**
Exchange mad blunts taste the sweepstakes
Keepin up on fakes outta state for cakes
No doubt, plus nobody amount, we making dough off of
Puttin fifty on the Land and Allah, it's like that
Pull ya shoes up black, matta of fact just adapt
Tie up, ya black Nike's and tight hats
Corners, stay surrounded with foreigners
Whattup dread? Feds caught you grudgin for his bread
But regardless, peace to jail n***az with charges
Unify layin in the guard with La
My Clan done ran from Japan to Atlanta, with stamina
Clingers and gamblers, and gram handlers
Tical like the Isle, so God, let's get steamed
Infrared guard yo' Beem, so seek nuff respect
Rude bwoy you bet, keep it movin par shallah
Pro black like tar
Designin the fly sh** and stay shinin and
the RZA pours more beats than Cristal's fine wine
Concrete raps go to black
with 50 other n***az on the other side of the map
Knew it's all good and all done what, we want some
Mike Tyson of this rap sh**, pullin out Macs for fun
[Verse Four: The Genius/GZA a.k.a. Maximillion]
The n***a don't get mad, I got mad styles of my own
And it's shown when my hands grip the chrome microphone
Verbally I catch bodies with cordless shotties
Intriguin emcees, I keep em trained like potties
I bomb facts, my sword is an axe
to split backs invisible, like dope fiend tracks
Sky's the limit, n***az are timid, and nobody knows
How we move like wolfs in sheep clothes
Producin data, microchips or software
Undaground and off air, the Land of the Lost
Notorious henchman from the North
Strikin n***az where the Mason-Dixon line crossed
