|
[Kung-fu sample:]
|
I want them to fight!
|
Sister... sister, get out of there!
|
If you kill them, we'll never know who's the best
|
|
[Chorus: Estelle]
|
What are the true keys to being a ninja?
|
Dressed in all black, perfect vision,
|
And that movement is in silence, ah
|
What are the true keys to being a ninja?
|
Dressed in all black, perfect vision,
|
And that movement is in silence
|
This is Shaolin (Shaolin) this is Shaolin (Shaolin)
|
This is Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin
|
This is Shaolin, this is Shaolin
|
This is Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin
|
|
[Intro: Raekwon]
|
Get away from there... shit
|
Want to believe it...
|
Yeah... oh shit
|
Fresh from the lands of Shaolin, nigga
|
Check this shit out, man, yo
|
|
[Raekwon:]
|
He threw a kick at me, I back-slapped him, I pulled out the mack
|
He kicked it out of my hand, how real that?
|
Yo, a place where niggas get it on at
|
I think it evolved around three hundred raps, thirty stacks
|
He had black on, yup, I was dusted, with all of my bengals on
|
Two rings clustered, shorty black
|
He was there, this my nigga, check the bullshit, he jabbed China Man
|
He threw a sword right through his wool shit
|
Now he throwing stars at the kid, I'm jumping over my car, yo
|
Trying to get to my glove box and shit
|
Got the door open, gash in my Caesar, my sneakers got red on it
|
Know that's blood, he threw a piece of a chain with a long blade on it
|
And a nigga was buckwild, I'm ducking and dodging
|
Trying to stick 'em with my little blade, Rae in some trouble
|
I got to the glove box, I threw two shots, he disappeared
|
|
[Chorus: Estelle]
|
What are the true keys to being a ninja?
|
Dressed in all black, perfect vision,
|
And that movement is in silence, ah
|
What are the true keys to being a ninja?
|
Dressed in all black, perfect vision,
|
And that movement is in silence
|
This is Shaolin (Shaolin) this is Shaolin (Shaolin)
|
This is Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin
|
This is Shaolin, this is Shaolin
|
This is Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin
|
|
[Inspectah Deck:]
|
I stay there like it ain't nothing to face fear
|
Flowers by the grave of the niggas who say where
|
I'm straight tear, tell them don't play fair
|
Then retaliation, I'm a shake 'em just for scraping my suede pair
|
He told me "Yo, wait right here, son, I been there"
|
Rip your pockets off plus nut in your dame hair
|
Broad day, even with Jake there, serious
|
Last time you saw me I was rocking the same stare
|
Do or die, you or I, cousin, I pray for you
|
Forgive me for my sins, father, this is what they made me do
|
Nonsense cause me to slay the fool, rather than play the fool
|
I resort to waving the gauge at you
|
|
[Chorus: Estelle]
|
What are the true keys to being a ninja?
|
Dressed in all black, perfect vision,
|
And that movement is in silence, ah
|
What are the true keys to being a ninja?
|
Dressed in all black, perfect vision,
|
And that movement is in silence
|
This is Shaolin (Shaolin) this is Shaolin (Shaolin)
|
This is Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin
|
This is Shaolin, this is Shaolin
|
This is Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin
|
|
[Raekwon:]
|
The year of the bullshit, why me? The nigga had Asics on
|
A three hundred dollar pair, B
|
You don't scare me, wiping blood, hear me?
|
He laugh with a sinister grin, the sun went down, this is grim
|
Now I'm sweating, still repping my square, you probably under a chair
|
Black hood on and sporting a gray beard
|
|
[Inspectah Deck:]
|
Respect mine, or there go your head line
|
A nigga got caught up, and left naked sporting a necktie
|
Skip town slide to west side, CSI riding on my hides
|
So I'm out til next time
|
|
[Hook x3: Estelle]
|
Ha-ah, ha-ha-ah
|
Ha-ah, oooh-oooh-ooh-ooooooh
