Lyrics One Rhyme [Skit] - Wu-Tang Clan, GZA, Masta Killa

One Rhyme [Skit]

The remedy for stress is a day and a rest
A bag of sess, playing chess, yes
My thoughts be sneaky like a crook from Brooklyn
When you ain’t looking, I take the queen with the rook then
I get vexed, laying phat tracks on Ampex
I was basically leaving the hustle life.
You know, going to night school
striving to get a diploma and transitioning to a legitimate lifestyle.
That’s what my life was like at that point when I met GZA.
He mentioned he had
family and brothers in Staten Island that were putting this movement together,
this Wu-Tang thing.
So one day he invites me to go to the studio with him.
I didn’t go because I had to go to night school that evening.
So the next day
he had a tape of what they did the night before.
And that tape was an
unfinished version of «Protect Yo Neck.»
When I heard that, everything just
became crystal clear now.
I never missed another studio session after that.
Whenever he told me he was going somewhere I was there.
It inspired me to sit
down.
Let me just see if I can write something.
I’ve never written a rhyme
before this.
So that’s what I did.
I basically rehearsed that one rhyme,
that one rhyme until I mastered it.
«You remember the rhyme?»
It was the «Mystery of Chessboxin'» one.
