[Intro: Method Man]

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

Now let me tell you who I am

Up early in the morning, dressed in black

Who dat? {*echoes*}

[Verse 1: GZA]

Yo, yo, marvellous, theatrical, drama on stage

Broadway classical, led men deranged

Like currents, the beat change and now a flow is strange

You in the Arctic with wolves that viciously maim

Thugs that roam clubs in the dark with fireworks that spark

Saltwater vibrations comin' from sharks

Blood-thirsty kids bite just as well as I write

You're like secretaries who can't type, you're no use

Brokedown vessels who want a boost, there's no jokes

Quick fast, you get stumped 'cause you played, your organ pump Kool-Aid

From Indiana with the Jones of a Lost Crusade

Hip-Hop done hit the church, choir girls rockin' mini-skirts

The B-side kept plenty hurt

Push like the shovels in snow storms

And stack piles of foul, the shit you must grow on! {*echoes*}

[Chorus: Method Man]

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

[Verse 2: Method Man]

Pay no attention to the evil they speak

You caught the beef with the E. coli, poisonous beat from underneath

Crack the concrete with two left feet, hand on my meat

Ain't no games here, we playing for keeps (We play for keeps!)

Introducing, the crowd-seducing man on the street

Penitentiaries is either half-dead or too sweet

Back to basic, conditional god, plus I can take it

Waging war within the Matrix, it's hard to see

Touch, hear, smell, or even taste it, take your places

We running in these human races, bucking naked

Back-slapping kid yapping

Acting villain, catching feelings, like we cap peeling

As if we killing every brick in every project building

From Cabrini-Green to Tilden's, sincerely yours

Mr. Mef and Maximilion (Da millions, da millions)

(Ka ka ka ka ka ka ka KAAA!) (Da millions, ah-ha!)

[Chorus: Method Man]

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

Uh, and it goes like this

Uh, uh, uh, uh, it goes like that

[Outro: Method Man]

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Wu-Tang Killa Beez on the swarm (We play for keeps!)

(We play for keeps!)

Wu-Tang Killa Beez on the swarm

And it goes like this
