Verse 1
(G major) When I was little, (G minor) my father (D major) was famous. (B flat major)
(G minor) He was the (G major) greatest samurai
in the Em (D major) pire.
(G major) And he was the Sho
(E flat major) gun's decapitator.
(G minor) He cut off the heads of 131 (G major) (A major) lords. (D major)
(D minor) It (C major) was a bad (F major) time for the Empire.
(G major) (A major) The Shogun just
stayed inside his castle
and he (G major) never came out. (E flat major)
People said his (G major) brain
was infected by devils.
(C minor) My father would come home,
he would forget about the killings.
He wasn't scared of (A flat major) the Shogun,
but the Shogun (C minor) was scared of him.
Maybe (D major) that was the (E flat major) prob lem.
Then, (G minor) one (G major) night... (A major) (B flat major)
The Shogun (C minor) sen t his ninjas, (D major) spies,
to our house. (G major)
They (G minor) (E flat major) were supposed to kill my father, (G major)
but they (G minor) didn't. (E flat major) (B flat major) (G major)
That was (A major) the night everything (G major)
(B major) changed.
Sometimes,
you (E major) gotta fast and fast
You niggas don't know where
this shit started
Y 'all know (B major) where it came from
I'm sayin' we gon' take our back
(E major) of the sword through mouths
Yo
When the (F sharp major) MCs came,
tellin' about their names
(G minor) And to perform,
some had to (F sharp major) smoke cocaine
To act insane,
but the (G major) poor keep rockin' (G minor) on
Them (G major) on the (F sharp major) mental plane,
to spark the brain
But (G minor) the building could be more
(G major) Buildin' up to the (F sharp major) traction than what
you got
(G major) Chickafliptafliptafliptaflipta
State niggas get blipped in (F sharp major) my bites
I swing swords and cut clown
Shit is (G major) too swift to bite
you'll caught and righted, damn
I (F sharp major) blow like the blood on a murder scene
Like a syr (G major) inge,
on some wild -out shit to insert a vein
(F sharp major) But it was your walk to shop, stolen art
Catch a (G major) swollen heart from not rollin' smart
I put mad (F sharp major) pressure on money,
wack rhymes and get hurt
Shit's (G major) plate like Zodiac signs
and sweatshirts
That's (F sharp major) minimum and feminine like sandals
My (G major) minimum table stack
subversion on a gamble
En (F sharp major) ergy is felt once the cards are dealt
With the (G major) impact of roundhouse kicks
from black belts that at (F sharp major) tack
Them white clones like cyclones or typhoon (G major) s
I represent from midnight to high noon
(F sharp major) I don't waste ink, nigga
I think I drop (G major) Megaton bombs
more faster than your blink
Cause (F sharp major) rhyme thoughts travel at
a tremendous speed
Through (G major) clouds of smoke,
of natural blends of weed
Only (F sharp major) under one circumstance
is if I'm blunted
Turn (G major) that shit up,
my clan in the front want it
Now when (F sharp major) the emcees came,
tell about the name An (G major) tica to perform,
some had to (F sharp major) snort cocaine
To the act the same,
(G major) before he dropped it on that one
With (F sharp major) the mental plane,
just to spark the brain
With (G major) the building to be (G minor) born, yo
The RZA flip the (G major) track, with the butt
I'm (F sharp major) on a mission that
niggas say is impossible
But (G major) when I swing my
swords they are choppable
I (F sharp major) be the body dropper,
the heartbeat stopper
Child (G major) educator plus head
amputator
Cause nig (F sharp major) gas styles are old
like Mark 5 sneakers
Lyric (G major) s are weak like clock
radio speakers
(F sharp major) Don't even stop at my station
and attack
While (G major) you're playing bell
with the rep like Amtrak
What the (F sharp major) fuck for?
Damn my lord make law
I be justice, (G major) I sentence that ass 2 to 4
Ram the (F sharp major) clock,
get that state pen time, check it
Put the (G major) pens,
I be sticking what you can't state
The crime came (F sharp major) through with the wool
Slid off on the DL,
(G major) I'm low -key like seashells,
I rock these (F sharp major) bells
I come aboard this Medina
bound into (G major) the chamber
And it's a whole different sound,
it's (F sharp major) a wide entrance,
small exit like a funnel
So (G major) deep, it's picked up
on radios and tunnels
Nig (F sharp major) gas are fascinated
how the shit we get get vac (G major) cinated
My logo is branded in your skin
when the (F sharp major) MCs came
They live out the names
you (G major) can add to perform
Some had to (F sharp major) snort cocaine
to act the same
Be (G major) fore he rocked it on that horn
With the (F sharp major) mental plane, spark the brain
With (G major) the building to be born
Yo RZA, the (F sharp major) track,
the fuck is it (F sharp major) that we on?
Outro 1
