Now number two, practiced the snake style | |
He was known as the snake spirit | |
He had the speed of a snake | |
Intro/Verse One:Killah Priest | |
Niggaz is like serpents out there | |
[snake style, no one could compete] | |
Serpents will bite | |
Lay outside, and then they roll back into they holes | |
They slither, in the streets of Brooklyn, New York | |
Slither in the streets, of Manhattan | |
In the streets of Queens, streets of the Bronx | |
Streets of Staten Island | |
Wherever you see em they slither | |
Whoever... yo | |
Fearsome shit... check it out | |
Yo, yo | |
It broke me up when they pat me on my shoulder | |
Said stay strong cuz his life is now over | |
I flash back to the heathens that he roll with | |
They shot him up and down nobody knows shit | |
My peers, little ears | |
Came up to me with a eye full of tears | |
Last night we was shootin dice and gettin nice | |
Kid rolled us, played us for our merchandise | |
We were in the hallway all day | |
Me, Steve, and Little Ray | |
Probably at first they tried to rob me | |
Back me in the lobby, pull out the shotty | |
Then came Scotty, fragile body | |
My first impression, he returned from a party | |
He was just stagger, smellin like Bacardi | |
The Dragon, braggin, how he was fuckin mad hotties | |
Pressed on the elevator button, then all of a sudden | |
He licked off, about a dozen | |
Slugs from the cannon, that ripped through my cousin | |
Nobody was standin when the nigga started bustin | |
Blood started to flood the floors, by the elevator doors | |
That's the last thing that I saw | |
Damn, we plan to make grands of our home | |
[Number two] | |
Verse Two: The RZA | |
Jagged edge, rockin God, hard as Stonehenge | |
Pledged whoever crossed his path get scrapped with a sledge.. | |
..hammer, he didn't give a damn about the manor | |
And on the block he was called by the momma's and the grandma's | |
Indecent, heathen, juvenile delinquent | |
His weekends was frequently, locked inside the precinct | |
His most recent cape for catchin papes | |
Was snatchin up snakes on a roof butt-naked hang em off like drapes | |
Then ask what's the combination to the safe, with the brace | |
And those who didn't reply they fell straight to their face | |
Razor blade sharp who invades the dark | |
And raid more spots than Spays and NARCS iron heart like Tony Starks | |
A fierce lion, who never leave the crib without the iron | |
And on the block he be slingin rocks and duckin from the sirens | |
Greetin niggaz he loved with a pound, and a bear hug | |
Those who wanted life, they catch a slug from the snub | |
A Five Percent, who all knew was one to ten | |
He loved the Gods with his heart but his brain was filled with sin | |
And when he came through niggaz be lookin out | |
Hopin he gets shot or tooken out, or locked the fuck up in Brooklyn House | |
In PC, on a liquid diet, but he was louder than a riot | |
[Number two, the snake] | |
Verse Three: Masta Killa | |
Do the knowledge to a nigga named Trigga | |
Bad rude boy from the land of Jamaica | |
With visions to venture, to the U.S. | |
To receive the gold that he couldn't acheive | |
in his country, even though he sold mad weed | |
for the next man, who was the Don of the clan | |
Niggaz actin like they got the block locked | |
Like I can't sling drug raps and eat food | |
But I be the rudest, bad boy steppin gun totin | |
Shots lash out like a violent explosion | |
at the nigga, who tries to stop my production | |
Intervene the scene and slow up the CREAM | |
None of that black, East New York, gun talk | |
Niggaz I extort from Baltic to Boardwalk | |
Memories of injuries wounds and burns | |
Walkin through the streets of Medina I stand firm | |
Cause I know this, which means I can hold mine down | |
without a doubt, niggaz who front, get snuffed out | |
Justice must be born there's no escape | |
cause a snake can't be reformed so I wait | |
Comin in the name to proclaim your fame for protection | |
and you don't know no fuckin lessons? | |
[Number two, the snake] | |
Verse Four: Ol Dirty Bastard | |
Bad, bad, Leroy Brown | |
Baddest man in the whole damn town | |
Badder than the deep blue seaaaaa | |
Badder than you and meeeeee | |
Niggaz comin thru the trees, like a salamander, bitin | |
Like a piranha, but I'm bitin you back, like a black pantha | |
The style I'm ampin the... fuck my name, who I be? | |
Fuck the game, it's all about the moneyyyy! | |
Owahhaerahh, sometimes I get high with the Meth | |
Then I turn to the Killah Priest | |
When it comes TWELVE O'CLOCK!! | |
I turn into the demon beast, yo | |
Yo fuck that shit! | |
[number two, the snake] | |
YO! SHOW THESE MOTHERFUCKERS WHAT TIME IT IS | |
[number two, the snake] Rawwrarrrah | |
Rahhwarwaahauh, rawwaroar!! | |
WHOSE THE BAD-ASS? *rawharrah* | |
WHOSE THE BAD-ASS? | |
[now number two] Rawwwaahrah | |
[he practiced the snake style | |
he was known as the snake spirit] YEAHhhhhh | |
Verse Five: Buddah Monk | |
Lyrics, never waitin, twelve days, penetrated | |
When I come with the ruffness, mad niggaz try to rush this | |
Slip into my killings, then I slays and you're helpless | |
When I try to stay sick, it's yacub grafted six | |
Calm for the kill, knowing the style that's ill | |
When I drop, lyric skills, brothers say, Buddah chill!! | |
Outro: Ol Dirty Bastard | |
I don't need to rhyme no more, niggaz know, yo! | |
To all the Wu-Tang Clan members | |
The Ghostface Killer, the GZA, the RZA, the Ol Dirty Bastard | |
The Method Man, the Chef - Raekwon, Inspector Deck, U-God | |
