Whatever Happened (The Birth) |
CHORUS: |
Yo major large niggas get they grind on cash, while the crab thinkin' |
niggas keep they mind on ass |
I guess most motherfuckers ain’t designed to last |
Whatever happened to the realness from back in the past? |
Whatever happened to the realness from back in the past? |
Whatever happened to the realness from back in the past? |
AZ: |
You know the routine, fast cars, rings get a crew seen |
We true fiends, old school style that’s how we do things |
Born &destined, hands on many investments |
Strong, reflect this 'til I’m drawn back to the essence |
Street wise, 36 waist, small feet size |
The C.I.'s quick to slide off, once the heat rise |
Detour, poverty zone, police war |
Going through each dawn, searchin’new ways for me to eat more |
Fast learner, quiet storm, play the back burner |
Bureaucrats, I react like Nat Turner |
Hold weight, used to rock kicks wit no lace |
Fuck a soul mate, low heart pace, pulse at a slow rate |
Runnin’rapid, while others play as if they captive |
Brain’s inactive, bein’subjected to this crab shit |
To each his own, fuck the foulness, need a week alone |
We can zone, all day long, on the speaker phone |
600, nine five North, stay blunted, stress I came from it Sex got drained from it The new breed star gazin', raisin’two seeds |
To be free, the franchise is all a whole crew need… indeed |
Partial Chorus: |
Whatever happened to the realness from back in the past? |
Whatever happened to the realness from back in the past? |
RZA: |
Whips &full clips &pussy lips |
Rubber grips attached to hips |
Past the journey to the crib, the purest sickness cura |
Holy Koran, sirah, leaves man to understand, I stand up as rough briva |
Heart is bleedin', stress got my hair line receedin' |
God look we feedin', leadin’my seeds, back to Eden |
And stay suspicious of promiscuous bitches |
Who don’t wash &do dish &to big for your britches |
Lustin’riches, fuckin’the next man mistress |
You wonder why your pussy itches, fat ass s&le wit out the glitches |
Shatter your mental, split your bean up like a lentel |
Disfigure your face, you recognizin’by the dental |
Hot lead from raw heat, left in store meat |
Lay it out on Broadstreet, before he Left all he heard was the echo from the shot |
Cops autopsy revealed, he was stopped by the Glock |
Devils lettin’off SCUDS, thugs trapped up in HUD houses |
New York, been infested by Bloods, lustin’for colors of red |
More black lies done shed through |
Yet the blood travelin’through veins remain blue |
Boned out until we zone out, no doubt |
Chickenheads beg for the 9 inch Applehead |
Their legs open like fallopian, lubricated by petroleum |
Nine months later comes the ovary explosion |
Bitch you stupid? |
A hundred dollars you couldn’t recoup it When I reign the truth on your brain you muted |
Rula Zig-Zag, Zig Allah, plus Allah Zig, Zag-Zig |
We addin’more knowledge to your wig |
AZ (RZA) |
(Word up, word up) Yeah (Wu-Tang, Firm up in this piece know what I mean?) Holdin’it down st&of approval, you know? |
(Get ya brain |
washed, you know what I’m sayin'? |
Get ya muscle tendered &straight) |
No doubt, no doubt |
(Word up, the black God exists in the physical form, you know?) |
The Firm baby, holdin’this, A to the Z, I know what time it is |
(Aight) Armageddon |
