I got scientist killas that'll jam your cell phone
|
Send a text message, kill you off with a ringtone
|
High pitched noise, on your brain, it's heavy
|
Autopsy report, that he jumped off a train
|
It started when the dearly departed, tried to escape max'
|
Then cut into the general's income like state tax
|
One call, to seal the deal with feel
|
Doctor on the payroll, cost a quarter mill
|
|
[GZA]
|
The mailman's late with the check
|
I'm in the flood with a bunch of bills that's about up to my neck
|
Plus my rent's not paid and the light's about to go off
|
Car got stolen by a thief who likes to show off
|
I can't even get a job, giving out flyers
|
I'm a handyman with a pair of broke pliers
|
The fridge is theirs, Mother Hubbard's cupboard
|
I'm so down and out, I can only go upward
|
|
[RZA]
|
I form rhymes in alphabet soups
|
From the rhythm of the spoon, I transform the loop
|
From the steam of the bowl, I'm making special effects
|
Add a dash of spice, only God can detect
|
Had a word, to make a bear return to his cub
|
A word that make a girl come home from the club
|
A word that make a heven return back to God
|
And the word that help Dorothy get home from Oz
|
Thirty frames per second, these films we be perfecting
|
Scenes of light put through all projection
|
Electricity, perfectivity
|
Audio and visually, physically and mentally
|
|
[GZA]
|
I got a smile that'll make the mirror crack
|
And I seem to stay under clouds that's pitch black
|
So when it rains, it pours, and when it pours, I'm soaked
|
I contracted lung cancer from third hand smoke
|
And uh, I'm like the frog that's dying to be a prince
|
The boy who cried wolf and no one was convinced
|
The man who hit lotto and lost his ticket
|
In a rainstorm, and struck by lightning trying to get it
|
|
[Hook: Irfane Khan-Acito]
|
And sometimes I feel like my life's a movie
|
I don't like to film, I don't like to film
|
And sometimes I feel like my life's a movie
|
I don't like to film, I don't like to film
|
Play it all back, play it all back
|
|
[GZA]
|
Lights, camera, action, let the tape roll
|
Some scripts get ripped, canned or even sold
|
Directors vision, producers decision
|
And raised the budget, because the chase had collisions
|
Stunt double risks his life just for the thrill
|
DP checks the gate before the scene gets sealed
|
Gaffer slapped with a slate for being late
|
Craft service got nervous and dropped a hundred plates
|
Leading actor banging an extra in the trailer
|
Screaming, hitting high notes like Mahalia
|
Box office hit and a Blockbuster smash
|
Two hundred mil' budget and still recouped the cash
|
