Intro

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

Know what I'm sayin'? I want to give y'all a little announcement man
For the last year, there's been a lot of music comin' out
The shit been weak, know what I'm sayin'?
A lot of niggas trying to take hip-hop
And make that shit RnB, rap and bullshit, ya know what I'm sayin'?
Or make that shit funk
Fuck that, this is emceeing 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 niggas know somethin' man
To my people all across the world, Japan, Europe, know what I'm sayin'?
Canada, nah mean? Austria, Germany, Sweden
Yo, this is true hip-hop you listenin' to right here
In the pure form, this ain't no RnB with a wack nigga takin' the loop
Be loopin' that shit thinkin' it's gonna be the sound of the culture

Ya know what I'm sayin'?
(That player bullshit)
Ya know what I'm sayin'? All that player dressin' up
On this shit, actin' like this some kind of fashion show man
Ya know what I'm sayin'? This is hip-hop right here
Ya know what I'm sayin'? This is lyrics, emceeing
And yo, to y'all niggas who think you going to become an MC overnight
Ya know what I'm sayin'? Better snap out that fuckin' 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 niggas with all that wack shit)
Word up man
(I'm talking about you MC's)

You ain't no MC, niggas ain't made for this, ya know what I'm sayin'?
This shit was only built for Cuban Linx, we told y'all niggas back then
And then everybody wanted to change their motherfuckin' name
Ya know what I'm sayin'? We come out with a style
Now everybody wanna imitate our style and all you producers out there
Ya know what I'm sayin'? It's all good to show love to a nigga
But stop bitin' 'my shit, ya know what I'm sayin'?
Come from your own heart with this shit

And all y'all MC's, stop biting from my niggas
We told y'all niggas on the fucking Cuban Linx album
"Don't bite our shit," y'all niggas keep biting
Yo, I'm going to tell y'all something man

It's time for the Wu revolution right here
To all my niggas across the world
Raise your motherfucking fist in the air
And get ready for the Triumph
'Cause the Gods is here to take over this shit, word up, peace
