[Intro: RZA]
|
Yo... before the Greeks and the Cretes..
|
It's an old Pete Rock classic, nigga, yo
|
|
[RZA]
|
Before the Greeks and the Cretes, before you can stand
|
Before your hands and your feet, from a band or a beat
|
We would stand on the street, with our hands on our heat
|
Twelve grams, twelve feet away, balled up in a sheet
|
Of Reynold's wrap, one smack, leave's your dentals back
|
Your voice get quiet like the voice in the instrumental track
|
Slick from the lip lisp, son, sip the citrus
|
My voice unfolds, with the soul of The Whispers
|
On the block, we rock loud like The Pistols
|
Up in the crib, my wiz drinkin' a Harvey's Bristol
|
Natural flavor, yours be artificial
|
I blow holes in skin, like big nose through snotty tissue
|
They go berserk, when the dollar dollar bill is on
|
The thrill is gone... upgrade to the silicone
|
That's birth of four billion, eight hundred milli-on
|
It's not official until I smack the W, silly on
|
From the valleys of Ohio, to the sands of Cairo
|
Still hit, like the whirlwind kick of Ryu
|
Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, still puzzled like the jigsaw
|
You renig', you get jinxed, pa, Pete Rock exclusive..
|
|
[GZA]
|
We boat guard the road, like trucks on the turnpike
|
Smoke by the load, just to see what it burns like
|
Architectural design, intellectual rhyme
|
Official stripe, movin' on a diagonal line
|
With thugs trapped, scholars they want the books back
|
The piece, they turn us off, the moment they look back
|
The castling position, made weak by a wind calm
|
Knights lose armor from the pressure, we bring on
|
And fire all these shots in the rhymes with mad flames
|
Kept the cramp game, and he posted on bad squares
|
The king's the kick, the queen's the snare
|
The bass are minor pieces that move in a pair
|
Quick to break through, an un-parallel opponent
|
I do it on the regular, at any given moment
|
Check the venue, those to make the saga continue
|
Before you check the credits, the swords is all in you
|
It's real... it's real... it's real... it's real...
