[Intro: Ghostface Killah, The Usual Suspects sample]
What? Ayo...
"There's no coke!"
"What?!"
"You heard me, you dumb fuck, there's no coke!"
"What the fuck do you mean there's no coke?!?"
"I've been up and down this ship
I've been in every fucking room"
"There's gotta be coke!"
"There is nothing! Nothing!"
{*heavy panting*} "Help, please!"
{*panting continues*} "Help me...!"
[Chorus: Masta Killa & Inspectah Deck]
"It's assassination day, I—"
"Help me!" {*gunshot*} (Madman)
"It's assassination day, I—" (In the cut)
"It's assassination day, I—" (RZArector)
"It's assassination day, I—" (Uh, uh)
"It's assassination day, I—" (Yo, uh)
[Verse 1: Inspectah Deck]
I move through the Third World, my third eye's the guidin' light
Invite the fight, we all die tonight!
The life I live's a 25-to-life bid
Parole reneged, I stroll the globe fugitive
Cream is short, Cee-Cipher-Power stalk, plus the fiend talk
3G's the cost in Supreme Court
White lies and blackmail land me back in jail
Where all for sale, a stolen goal, but it fail
Stranded on the front line, I shine to the dumb and blind
It comes time I take back what was once mine
Crunch time in the first quarter, from the worst slaughter
Devils poisonin' the birth water
The Earth daughter rest her head on my chest
Through the struggle, we cuddle under half-moon crest
While the press plant fear and exploit the gun blastin'
Central broadcastin' is shacklin', nerves are unfastened
Trapped in deep water, gaspin'
I clash with the titans for my half on the action
[Verse 2: RZA]
Yo, I stop producers' careers, the weak spot was their ears
Scorpion darts hits the mark, pierce the heart with silver spears
You're bewildered, my unsaturated, low-filtered
Devils still feel this, shielded lyric built tilted
MCs upon their axis, their body hazard tactic
Lactic acid, desert dry cactus practice
You can never match this, invincible, Wu-Tang indispensable
One Nation Under God, indivisible
With liberty and justice, the mic is in my clutches
Thug who bring ruckus, leave in crutches
Unforgivable snakes face the double-edged sword, starts to swivel
Decapitates the head, makes the projects more livable
Interchangeable, caution: flammable
My chamber is ninety-nine plus one unnameable angles
And strangles, microphone cord starts to dangle
Silent as the gases that pass throughout your anal
We creep through your doors, seep out like sweat through the pores
Destroy your internal organs with the biological warfare
"It's assassination day, I—"
[Verse 3: Raekwon]
First of all, before we move on
This shit is like a Yukon, don
Spread it out like Grey Poupon
Splurgin', mergin' in the suburbs
Usin' this just like an adverb
Action word, flowin' like a blackbird
God came in, aimin' like Terry Bradshaw
He hit the crash bar
Stay relaxed, God, his shit is smashed, pah
You handle this just like algebra
U.F.O., spot 'em like Galaga
Holdin' like bullet-proof Acuras
"You so fly" – Yeah, right!
You wanna get me high
Yo, Bobby, you hear how I'm shootin' it like they blue-tops?
No, you won't play me like your lady
Pay me 380, spit it at you like a baby
Final destination Haiti
[Verse 4: Masta Killa]
War's extremely serious, and it saddens me
To have to take t'ings to deadly measures
And have you measured and shot for no pay
It's assassination day, I stalk my enemy like prey
Tranqued by deceptional sounds that deceives
And lures MCs to the lair
With a mic-like bait, then awaits to be bitten by greed
Temptation tempts my victim to proceed
Forward, ignorance wouldn't allow retreat
You'd rather pursue death than admit defeat
Now, who's best to describe for what I specialize in?
Murderous rhymin', constantly inclinin'
My mind spits with an enormous kickback
Your brain then absorbs the impact
Disorderly conduct from the crowd is the feedback
[Chorus: Masta Killa]
"It's assassination day, I—"
"It's assassination day"
"It's assassination day"
"It's assassination day, I stalk my enemy—"
"It's assassination day, I stalk my enemy—"
