[Intro: Method Man]

I, fifty-eight, fifty-seven

Yeah, got you

A'ight, ayy


[Verse 1: Method Man]

Lace your boots up, tracks get looped up

The chocolate deluxe gets scooped up

All my pigeons is cooped up, Wu's up, W's up

If y'all ain't with us, chuck a deuce up, and let us do us

Break a promise but not my group up

Veterans is dying and used up

Let's see if they can hang, I'm already tying the noose up (Ah)

I'm too hot, if you not, get you stuffed (Stuffed)

Get you touched and get you shot or you cut (Damn)

Young buck, I'm just trying to toughen you up (Yeah)

Can't let you hustle with us, y'all ain't struggled enough (Nah)

Y'all been cuddled too much, maybe mothered too much

So the burner giving out loans, here's a couple of bucks

Had a couple of scuffs, I ain't saying I'm perfect (Yeah)

And I ain't cursing the rhyme but I wrote it in cursive (Woo)

Quote the verses, boy I flow with a purpose

Get that prometh' and the soda, come with the purchase

[Chorus: Method Man & Rae Smith]

Who is that up in the building?

Hashtag we still win

Raekwon, no relation to Chef though, but still trend

My youngin' tell 'em it's them

Wu-Tang is for the children

They bugging, tell 'em again

Wu-Tang is for the children


[Verse 2: Raekwon]

Lab with the pole, she slide down, I'm in the basement counting faces

Drunk on the slouch, count the spaceships

Jewelry to my knee caps, breathe stacks whores & sleestacks

H-S-B see me getting g-packs, herringbones, mad stones in 'em

The voice is olive green, three doors, I'm on and bring my goons home

Puma's on, points like unicorns, fuming in uniforms

What you wanna do with me? Just sue me homes

Yeah, half Mike, half Nike, handle got grip

Got monkey's out here ready to flip

We pull a stunt, grab knots, push cops, just for vengeance

For killing that real shit independence

Far glowing like blonde hair, probably where the way it be rolling

Let's catch a check y'all, bring the broads here

Until the sun burn out, ain't nobody eating (Nigga)

We on your block now, Glock up or call the precinct

[Chorus: Method Man & Rae Smith]

Who is that up in the building?

Hashtag we still win

Raekwon, no relation to Chef though, but still trend

My youngin' tell 'em it's them

Wu-Tang is for the children

They bugging, tell 'em again

Wu-Tang is for the children

Who is that up in the building?

Hashtag we still win

Raekwon, no relation to Chef though, but still trend

My youngin' tell 'em it's them

Wu-Tang is for the children

They bugging, tell 'em again

Wu-Tang is for the children


[Verse 3: Inspectah Deck]

Deck performing on the track, call him Jeff Gordon

I'm still buzzin', this is Hennessey the next morning

They upset talking, I'm yes y'allin for checks

Boss on the set, you acting like my ex calling

Ain't that a bitch, not the five or the six

I rock seven on my back, that's Kaepernick

I dazzle like a magic trick, fabulous swordsmen

Sort of like abortion, I ain't having it

S-I ready for action, heavily cashing

We set for whatever, what's happening?

Cold like the weather in Aspen, flow everlasting

Four, five, six, your head's crackin'

Just a fifth of E&J, plus a eighth of green

No promethazine but I make 'em lean

I'm running with the real, y'all chasing dreams

While the crowd go wild for they favorite team

[Chorus: Method Man & Rae Smith]

Who is that up in the building?

Hashtag we still win

Raekwon, no relation to Chef though, but still trend

My youngin' tell 'em it's them

Wu-Tang is for the children

They bugging, tell 'em again

Wu-Tang is for the children

Who is that up in the building?

Hashtag we still win

Raekwon, no relation to Chef though, but still trend

My youngin' tell 'em it's them

Wu-Tang is for the children

They bugging, tell 'em again

Wu-Tang is for the children
