[Intro]
~#**************#~
Shaolin shadowboxing and the Wu-Tang sword style
~#**************#~
If what you say is true
~#**************#~
If what you say is true
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Cappadonna]
~#**************#~
The clouds was gray, the sky was black
~#**************#~
Two undercover pigs jumped out the Pontiac
~#**************#~
Trying to extort us, they wanna know where the money at
~#**************#~
We countin’ the cream, my team get plenty stacks
~#**************#~
Let the guards bill wherever we at
~#**************#~
We attackin the mind state
~#**************#~
We civilized niggas, we don’t think of the crime rate
~#**************#~
The mind’s infinite now, we can’t waste time
~#**************#~
Take the ones that know the ledge, leave the rest behind
~#**************#~
Salute, fall back in line
~#**************#~
Here come the first nine out of the booth
~#**************#~
Sparks of energy, create more life and more synergy
~#**************#~
Forever is Wu, you can never sever the glue
~#**************#~
Homie is Mathematical, beats is bangin’
~#**************#~
All my lords get radical
~#**************#~
Don’t blast the past, homie, that’s equilateral
~#**************#~
JJY, Killa Beez is splattering you
~#**************#~
And everybody love us in here
~#**************#~
It don’t matter who
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Masta Killa]
~#**************#~
(Look, look, look)
~#**************#~
Shoulder rolling off the beat
~#**************#~
Catch a J, I kiss it and throw it back
~#**************#~
Science is sweet and questional
~#**************#~
This is Irief Jamal, unique professional
~#**************#~
Blessin you a hundred mill flow
~#**************#~
Steel tip arrow and bow, I pull and let it go
~#**************#~
Look how the crowd go wild for this mic style
~#**************#~
Wu World Clan united, this how the reptile
~#**************#~
Keepin’ us apart, between some darts from the heart
~#**************#~
Forever stayin mentally sharp, spark the brain
~#**************#~
Physically equipped to tear you out the frame
~#**************#~
I don’t play with this mic thing
~#**************#~
But brings all of the above, I reign
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
If what you say is true
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Streetlife]
~#**************#~
This is target practice, watch me get my darts off
~#**************#~
Leave em bleedin out with they shoes and they socks off
~#**************#~
Fit it on the sidewalk, this is real talk
~#**************#~
Anybody could get it, I pop a couple shots off
~#**************#~
Home of this smash-and-grab, I’m taking minds off the top
~#**************#~
Doin stick-up, no mask, I got the drop
~#**************#~
Run up on you, in front of your buildin
~#**************#~
Now you speak a bazillion
~#**************#~
Gun you down right in front of your children
~#**************#~
We bang out on a regular basis, or raise havoc face
~#**************#~
Leave no shell, these open cases
~#**************#~
My description, big black bodacious
~#**************#~
All black, Wu, hoodie on with the gold fat laces
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
If what you say is true
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: GZA]
~#**************#~
A rhyme is a struggle from conception
~#**************#~
Series of complex maps in all directions
~#**************#~
Totally dependent on an act of breathing
~#**************#~
Learning, depending on an act of reading
~#**************#~
The MC draws in a long deep breath
~#**************#~
Holding it until makin it right before it left
~#**************#~
Extracting from it is life-giving properties
~#**************#~
Reacting from it, and control the properly
~#**************#~
[Refrain]
~#**************#~
If what you say is true
~#**************#~
The Shaolin and the Wu-Tang
~#**************#~
Could be dangerous
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Ol Dirty Bastard]
~#**************#~
Now, do you understand?
~#**************#~
Now, do you understand?
~#**************#~
The only way we can stay strong as we stick together
~#**************#~
‘Cause they gon try, they gon try
~#**************#~
Let me tell you what they gon try to do
~#**************#~
And yall remember the shit, yall gon tell them, fucking world
~#**************#~
Teach all the babies and shit
~#**************#~
They gon try to make black and white go against each other
~#**************#~
Which they cant, because we already having a good time
~#**************#~
