Dm
C
F
It was a bad time for the Empire.
G
A
The Shogun just
stayed inside his castle
G
Eb
and he never came out.
G
People said his brain
was infected by devils.

My father would come home,
he would forget about the killings.

G
That was the night everything
B
changed.
Sometimes,
E
you gotta fast and fast
You niggas don't know where
this shit started
B
Y 'all know where it came from
I'm sayin' we gon' take our back
E
of the sword through mouths
Yo
F#
When the MCs came,
tellin' about their names
Gm
And to perform,
F#
some had to smoke cocaine
To act insane,
G
Gm
but the poor keep rockin' on
G
F#
Them on the mental plane,
to spark the brain
Gm
But the building could be more
G
F#
Buildin' up to the traction than what
you got
G
Chickafliptafliptafliptaflipta
F#
State niggas get blipped in my bites
I swing swords and cut clown
G
Shit is too swift to bite
you'll caught and righted, damn
F#
I blow like the blood on a murder scene
G
Like a syringe,
on some wild -out shit to insert a vein
F#
But it was your walk to shop, stolen art
G
Catch a swollen heart from not rollin' smart
F#
I put mad pressure on money,
wack rhymes and get hurt
G
Shit's plate like Zodiac signs
and sweatshirts
F#
That's minimum and feminine like sandals
G
My minimum table stack
subversion on a gamble
F#
Energy is felt once the cards are dealt
G
With the impact of roundhouse kicks
F#
from black belts that attack
G
Them white clones like cyclones or typhoons
I represent from midnight to high noon
F#
I don't waste ink, nigga
G
I think I drop Megaton bombs
more faster than your blink
F#
Cause rhyme thoughts travel at
a tremendous speed
G
Through clouds of smoke,
of natural blends of weed
F#
Only under one circumstance
is if I'm blunted
G
Turn that shit up,
my clan in the front want it
F#
Now when the emcees came,
G
tell about the name Antica to perform,
F#
some had to snort cocaine
To the act the same,
G
before he dropped it on that one
F#
With the mental plane,
just to spark the brain
G
Gm
With the building to be born, yo
G
The RZA flip the track, with the butt
F#
I'm on a mission that
niggas say is impossible
G
But when I swing my
swords they are choppable
F#
I be the body dropper,
the heartbeat stopper
G
Child educator plus head
amputator
F#
Cause niggas styles are old
like Mark 5 sneakers
G
Lyrics are weak like clock
radio speakers
F#
Don't even stop at my station
and attack
G
While you're playing bell
with the rep like Amtrak
F#
What the fuck for?
Damn my lord make law
G
I be justice, I sentence that ass 2 to 4
F#
Ram the clock,
get that state pen time, check it
G
Put the pens,
I be sticking what you can't state
F#
The crime came through with the wool
Slid off on the DL,
G
I'm low -key like seashells,
F#
I rock these bells
I come aboard this Medina
G
bound into the chamber
And it's a whole different sound,
F#
it's a wide entrance,
small exit like a funnel
G
So deep, it's picked up
on radios and tunnels
F#
Niggas are fascinated
G
how the shit we get get vaccinated
My logo is branded in your skin
F#
when the MCs came
They live out the names
G
you can add to perform
F#
Some had to snort cocaine
to act the same
G
Before he rocked it on that horn
F#
With the mental plane, spark the brain
G
With the building to be born
F#
Yo RZA, the track,
F#
the fuck is it that we on?
