[Intro]

*evil laughter*

*sounds of sword fight*

(Words don't help you)

(Words don't help you)

(Words don't help you)

(Words don't help you)


[Verse 1]

Yo, I got 'sight beyond sight' like the Sword of Omens

Beats are left broken by the wise words spoken

Survive living, driven by blood money hunger

Snakes lay, waiting patiently to steal your thunder

We stay sharp, state-of-the-art, tear the stage apart

Razor Sharp poison darts raid the charts

Through the underground, some are found chained and bound

The gun sparks like the bloodhound then hunts you down

The hood life, I'm in it to the limit

Wouldn't quit it for a digit, die for it 'cause I live it

Before I let go, have correct dough

I bust my shit off, I'm out to blow the lid off, alert the metro

I glow like a lazer light show, your eyes squint

Vibrant, true colors, I move swift and silent

Living by the day, hearts are cold like winter nights

Got a hot ten on the dice in this game of life

A-alikes in tune, immune to snake bites

Roll like the blue coats with no lights, late night

Sworn criminal, born original on a lyrical high

Perform miracles before your third eye

Sir I light up the Round Table

Locking the King's crown, able to hold it down stable

Fatal TEC-9s to make mines deadly duty

Fatal beauty seduce me, used by a hootie and the blowfish groupie

Unruly, Fists of Fury fly loosely

Cash Still Rule, ain't nothin' new, tuck your jewelry (Jewelry, jewelry)


[Chorus]

(Words don't help you)

Some sound-sound like they real top gun

But this a true sound, in the champion

Rock the mic in every session

(Words don't help you)

Reign number one, no competition


[Verse 2]

Just when you thought it was safe to make a name for yourself

The blow's dealt, be stripped for your belt

Run your garment, featherweights don't know what you involved in

Revolving in fantasy, you dilute the solvent

My hip-hop quoted as an "Uncontrolled Substance"

Rough from the beginning, this been in my blood

Since my child days, blazed rookies on entry level

Empty metal jackets are found, no sign of Rebel

The Ayatollah, Kenny Rogers and the Gambler high roller

Side-kick, Lucky Hands the dice thrower

Amputate tracks, blow back the mic holder

Golden axe blade come down, the mic's over

Taking flight in the Rover, nobel street soldier

Deep cover mission, rap spies peep my folder

INS a.k.a. Jay Hunter

Vocal gunner known to chokehold the "Funky Drummer"

Hundred city tour for the summer

Copped the latch door, Wu Forever roar through your forerunner

My all-star team put up Jordan-like numbers

Small wonder, get your welcome mats snatched from under

Your cold feet, jacked your whole beat and made a mill'

You no frills with no skills and bound to distill

This is real, Wu part two sparks you

Reality bites with teeth marks like a shark tooth

Niggas dick-ride by the carpool, God's rule

If I could own rocks, got me toxy at the bar stool

Me and my girl boost the underworld, ducking feds

Can't trace the blood and my sword's double-edged


[Chorus]

(Words don't help you)

(Words don't help you)

Some sound-sound like they real top guns

But this a true sound, it's a champion

Rock the mic in every session

Reign number one, no competition

(Words don't help you)

(Words don't help you)


[Outro: sampled girl]

Nothin' you sell, oh, oh...
