Windshield, rappers are like gnats

Fallin down like London Bridge, my blade split your onion head
~#**************#~
Axe that like Paul Bunyan, Meth prefers the gun instead
~#**************#~
Bong bong, put a hole inside your head
~#**************#~

Murk that pigeon and I shoot the television
~#**************#~

[Bridge: RZA]
~#**************#~
Imagine the sound of your face scrapin up against the gate
~#**************#~
Of a barbed wire fence, this is barbed iron fist
~#**************#~
Heartthrob, iron dick, hoes slob the knob quick
~#**************#~
This is odd, so throw it in your iPod quick
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: GZA]
~#**************#~
Lifeless activity, constant movement
~#**************#~
Buyin elasticity, such improvement
~#**************#~
Thought held to where it collapses inward
~#**************#~
Spillin rhymes if its Shaolin vineyards
~#**************#~
RZA had a mixture, then he added sound to the picture
~#**************#~
Co-author rewrote the scripture
~#**************#~
Math worked from birth, doubled the net worth
~#**************#~
Amplified in the time machine of early Earth
~#**************#~
A two-way radio, simple yet complex
~#**************#~
Receivers, transmitters, interest to contacts
~#**************#~
The emergence of the earliest atoms
~#**************#~
Transform to a level extremely hard to fathom
~#**************#~
Same soup, different bowl, Wu ceramics
~#**************#~
Same group on them large-scale dynamics
~#**************#~
A wave triggered the burst, glass was shattered
~#**************#~
Galactic matter served on a graphic platter
~#**************#~

[Verse 4: Method Man]
~#**************#~
Overachiever, power hungry overeater
~#**************#~
I95, whip fly like an overseer
~#**************#~
Im overconfident but some might say Im overeager
~#**************#~
Or overzealous, especially when its over cheeba
~#**************#~
I got a soldiers features, I rock the coldest sneakers
~#**************#~
My sneakers so cold, cant wear em ‘less you hold the heater
~#**************#~
Cant push me over either, that go for dojas
~#**************#~
I aint got no love for posers neither, keep my composure
~#**************#~
Im focused, tryna roll the reefer, lets turn it up
~#**************#~
Forget the cope, Im tryna blow the speaker, thats all he wrote
~#**************#~
One verse could turn your soul to ether
~#**************#~
Its time you gave me my respects just like the old Aretha
