Intro lyrics
by Raekwon
[Interlude: RZA (GZA)]
Yo, yo one two one two, yo live in effect
We got the king Ruler Zig-Zag-Zag Allah
Commonly known to y'all as the RZA
Yo before we go into side two or side B of this double CD
Knahmsayin I want to give y'all a little announcement man
For the last year there's been a lot of music comin out
The sh*t been weak, knowhatI'msayin?
A lot of n*ggas trying to take hip-hop
And make that sh*t R&B, rap and bullsh*t yaknowhatI'msayin?
Or make that sh*t funk
f*ck that, this is MCin right here, this is hip-hop
Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang gonna bring it to you in the purest form
I got the GZA on my side, Killah Priest
Sunz of Man, Royal Fam, Killarmy, Gravediggaz, 12 O'Clock
Yo, we want to let y'all n*ggas know somethin man
To my people all across the world; Japan, Europe -- knowhatI'msayin?
Canada, knowmean -- Austria, Germany, Sweden
Yo, this is true hip-hop you listenin to right here
In the pure form, this ain't no R&B with a wack n*gga takin the loop
Be loopin that sh*t thinkin it's gonna be the sound of the culture
YaknowhatI'msayin? (That player bullsh*t)
YaknowhatI'msayin? All that player dressin up
On this sh*t, actin like this some kind of fashion show man
YaknowhatI'msayin? This is hip-hop right here
YaknowhatI'msayin? This is lyrics, MCin
And yo, to y'all n*ggas who think you going to become an MC overnight
YaknowhatI'msayin? Better snap out that f*ckin dream
Man it takes years for this you Cat in the Hat ass rappers
You Dr. Seuss, Mother Goose, simple minded
(Stop runnin up on n*ggas with all that wack sh*t)
Word up man (talking bout "you MC")
You ain't no MC; n*ggas ain't made for this yaknowhatI'msayin?
This sh*t was Only Built 4 Cuban Linx -- we told y'all n*ggas back then
And then everybody wanted to change their motherf*ckin name
YaknowhatI'msayin? We come out with a style
Now everybody wanna imitate our style and all you producers out there
YaknowhatI'msayin? It's all good to show love to a n*gga
But stop bitin my sh*t, yaknowhatI'msayin?
Come from your own heart with this sh*t
And all y'all MC's, stop biting from my n*ggas
We told ya'll n*ggas on the f*cking Cuban Linx album
Don't bite our sh*t, y'all n*ggas keep biting
Yo, I'm going to tell y'all something man
It's time for the Wu revolution right here
To all my n*ggas across the world
Raise your motherf*cking fist in the air
And get ready for the Triumph
Cause the Gods is here to take over this sh*t
Word up, peace
