Shaolin Worldwide lyrics

"Who's the knucklehead wantin respect?" -- Ghostface
{sample repeats in background of Street's intro}

[Intro: Streetlife, (Method Man)]
Yo, yo; Never doubt the Life
(EHHHH! YO!) Yo
Who the f*ck are you to criticize me?
Yo, I slap, yo, I slap di*k ta ya wifey
Yo (respect, that's my word)

[Verse 1: Streetlife]
Another Wu tradition, Street vision, listen
All my life I've been poverty stricken
Always took what's mines, never was given
A second chance just to rap sheet a bad decision
You can't knock the hustle or the life that I'm livin
Quick to stick the clip in, blow you out position
Street jurisdictions, n*gga, no restriction
Concrete composition for emcee's in submission
Special edition crash course mission
Push through like the task force and crush all competition
See you from a distance, dry snitchin, whisperin
Greet your man posted up like two little b*tches
When you get the heart, step live or catch stitches
Or find yourself with Del, sleepin with the fishes
I got no love for fans that's fake-ass n*ggas
I can't stand the bid when it's all in my business
Wu-Tang Forever and a day, don't get it twisted
I get lifted, I just shoot somethin from hot biscuit
These street kids, we can't lose, we terrorize your district
Leave no fingerprints and no survivin' witness
[Chorus: Method Man]
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide (yo, yo Math!)
It's them kids from the otherside "Shaolin" Worldwide
Street Life, Homocide, nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide, boo, we P.L.O
Fo' sho', if it don't flow, gotta go
Fo' sho', if it don't blow, gotta go
Fo' sho', if it ain't dough, gotta go
Some didn't listen 'til my gun went BLOW!

[Verse 2: Inspectah Deck]
Yo, thoughts sharper than a Japanese katana
Ninja karma, piranhas crack teeth on my armor
Scandalous, I ran contra-bomber
Stalker like rebels of Rwanda
Death before dishonor, snake charmer
Persona of one who makes drama
Godfather 4 type saga
Tuckin' a revolver in my parka
Foreigner, prepare for departure
Mic horror strike harder
Fear the bow of the silent archer
Sure shotter, pass the rock to your starter
Poison darter, news photographers doc*ment the horror
While I bounce Shaunda with Tiwana in the aqua blue Honda
Honor roll scholar, rockwilder rip mic's for top dollar
Your highnes, the crowd hollar
Got your head rock, feel the brain trauma
Crowd sponsor, hotter than Bahamas steam saunas
The Rebel of opera, popped off the chocolate and the ?gosha?
Monster truck crush you imposters
[Chorus: Method Man]
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
It's them kids from the otherside "Shaolin" Worldwide
I.N.S., Homocide, nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide, boo, we P.L.O
Fo' sho', if it don't flow, gotta go
Fo' sho', if it don't blow, gotta go
Fo' sho', if it ain't dough, gotta go
Some didn't listen 'til my gun went BLOW!

[Verse 3: Method Man]
I'm the four mic emcee with five mic potential
Overlooked 'cause y'all can't understand what I been through
You ain't got to love me, or even pretend to
Actin like the street, they ain't got no street credentials
Crack villains, raps be killin' instrumentals
The caps peelin' and slap a feeling out ya dental
Underground sound, for ghetto residentials
Up sh*t's creek lookin for some more sh*t to get into
Got the Clan jewels as I continue
To serve you everythin on that's on the menu
With Chef John Jacob
Remember Sunz Of Man told you Wake Up?
My n*gga smell the coffee, I'm too hardcore to kill softly
Come to free the mind and get the bullsh*t up off me
The Jedi, only use The Force if ya force me
Shaolin What? Don't get it f*cked up and cross me
Rappers gettin stuck for actin stuck up and flossy
Say it ain't so! Bust the CALICO
Rap from the Island called Stat', here we go
[Chorus: Method Man]
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
It's them kids from the otherside "Shaolin" Worldwide
Method Man, Homocide, nowhere to run to
Nowhere to hide, boo, we P.L.O
Fo' sho', if it don't flow, gotta go
Fo' sho', if it don't blow, gotta go
Fo' sho', if it ain't dough, gotta go
Some didn't listen 'til my gun went BLOW!
