[Intro: Raekwon]

You know what I'm sayin'? We're on them corners and shit, ya know?

Just gotta be on some, hands-down shit, you know what I mean?

Just keepin' ya eyes and ears open at all time, while we rhyme and shine

For my dedicated niggas who love this shit, we doin' this like this

Word up, what's the phenomenon?

Carry on, Don, tranquilizin'


[Verse: Raekwon]

Ayo! Movin' on these niggas like they owe

So, bro, you know how we go, we go, shift 'em out like perico

Fine protégés, off top, connect and lock a buildin'

Four dollar whylin' niggas buildin', savin' the children

Come on now, check out the view like a oceanfront

Slow-motion in cunt, takin' what we want

You know it, kid — Asiatic, holdin' power like a Craftmatic

You like your fish fried or battered? That day, he ratted

Check out the rubies from Guyana, jet-skiin' in Atlanta

Makin' some power moves out of Savannah

Yeah, rock them niggas like jewelry

Arabics movin' blow like aerobics, that's when his nose itch

Yeah, that means it's dough in effect

I'm hittin' you, I'm hittin' Buddha

Out in Bermuda, send that twenty-shot Ruger

Continue to slam and mend you like a venue

Get all up in you, oh, yeah, your friend too, respect Wu

Yeah, keep them faggot niggas watery

Rhyme for rich niggas who supported me, shorty pussy extorted me

So what's the science now? RZA — cuttin' their pockets like scissors

Cindafella found him a Wally slipper

Splashin' ends in the glass Benz in Nevada

Flashin' gems, eight-and-a-half Timbs, state robber

All my life been on some foul shit, besides kidnap a child shit

Get on some foul and proud shit

Cheatin' many Koreans, bein' all that I can be and

Put down on thirty keys and get to fleein', light up a tree and

Don't be breezin' like a blow dryer

Yo, you's a liar, like Jeremiah gamin' on the flyer

Yo, barbarian niggas is carryin', thug drug marryin'

Hittin' Marion off at the Clarion

All my Spanish niggas love us

We movin' like Russia, bone crusher, at the flicks, stick the usher

Broke niggas — spot 'em like Cascade in the street

Masquerade, Faster Blade
