[Intro: Raekwon, Ghostface Killah & Blue Raspberry]​​

This that gravedigger shit (No one can fuck with the Wu-Tang)

Yo (What? What?), yo

Exotic type shit

Ninety-four

We must go to war fast

With the pen and the pad

Goddamn

Shine like gold rims on Pathfinders

Wu-Tang reclines, lamps

For the nine-squares, kid

(Money, clothes, designer hoes, and shows, y'all)

Check it, yo, yo

[Verse 1: Raekwon & Ghostface Killah]

Waking up about ten, kid

Jumping in the shower, peace, about to make moves and slide like grease

What? I'm all about TECs and checks with 'nough respect

You front, I'm slamming you like the Lex

So now I'm out in the ninety-five

Rocking that "Real Niggas Don't Die"

Guess down, drawers Kani

But, yo, I'm making a pitstop

Go and buy a box of Glocks

It equaled up, pay up, what up, 'Ak?

Yo, remember that kid that we vicked?

He made a half of mil' for real

We brought about four bricks

Yo, so now we connect thoughts

Meet me at the airport

​​​Tell Golden Arms maintain the fort

Get in touch with that West Coast Cali crab you stabbed

And meet me at the bitch lab

So word up, kid, we slid like a fat four to twelve bid and shit

Couldn't even rest, I need the vic'

And when I slept, I dream G's, son, I need some

Keys won't sell, call up son

I heard Pook and Tyriq caught a beef over some real shit

A fake nigga faked and they killed his clique

Give me a minute and I'm winnin'

Yo, niggas done did it

Rock your vest, keep your whip tinted

So now we see him up in Bojangles strangling a forty ounce

With ten G's worth of gold bangles

Diamonds, what? All up in his face

With his man's mace

Medallions the size of dinner plates, yo

He knew we knew him so we blew him

Took thirty G's worth of jewels off that nigga, do him

So now I'm lamping in my man's land

Streets is hot like sand

G's is rolling in my right hand

Yup, you know the steezo black

Lot'll go down like that

Shallah, cigars and mob hats

Ninety-four, takin' niggas to war, yo, yo

[Interlude: Raekwon & Ghostface Killah]

What do you believe in, heaven or hell?

You don't believe in heaven 'cause we're living in hell

What do you believe in, boy, heaven or hell?

You don't believe in heaven 'cause we're living in hell

So it's your life

What a chamber

Fucking with the mad strangers

Yeah, you know how it runs, baby, straight up, yo

Money, clothes, designer hoes, and shows, y'all

That's how it goes, whatever

What do you believe in, heaven or hell?

You don't believe in heaven 'cause we're living in hell (31st chamber, y'all)

So it's your life

[Outro: Raekwon & Ghostface Killah]

Niggas ain't even know, son...

Sold their weight

No question

This shit is real, you know what I'm saying? (Word up)

Niggas think it's all about a hundred-dollar velour

A little hundred dollars and that make you a man

You ain't promised tomorrow, son, word up

Niggas don't understand how life can be so short

Come so fast

Within the blinkin' of eye

Blinkin' of eye, you're gone, baby, straight up

Know what I'm saying?

Get turned to dust

Return to the casket

And that ass is out, son, word up

Word up, get evaporated, straight up (Word up)

Lose all your strength, nigga

Crazy dedication shoutout in the memory of Two Cent Jason

Heartbroken

We soakin' wet, though

Keepin' it real for my peoples

Yeah, yo

And my physical brother DeVon

You're still in here, baby

Because you're in my arms, nigga, word up

I never let you go, baby

Know what I'm saying? You my life charm, word up

For real (Keep shinin')

For real, keepin' it real, you know

Shout out to major niggas

Big Kawai, Jess, Hell on the computer system

The RZA who slams fat discs for the ninety-four

Word up, RZA

That's my nigga, baby, yeah

Eatin' dinner with the big boys now, you know what I'm saying? (Word up)

Big Booth represent the Q

You know how we do

Now get that power-U type gangster on, you know?

The GZA, word up Masta Killa

The Abbot of the Clan

Method Man, Inspectah Deck

Dirty Bastard

U-God, word up, baby

Keep it real, son

Keep packin' them guns

Word up
