[Intro]

It be the Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang


[Verse 1]

I got control drop a load, time to rip shit

Time to rock and roll, I play the block and stroll

Stop and go, cop an old up town choppin'

Chopping for dough, prophesize

Monopolize ingrown, pull back with no remorse

The horsepower crossbow

Sour dough New York, done the boat, felt the flow

Under my belt plenty live

25 in the front row, just felt the glow, they melt

Wit in oxin, Rumble in the Bronx

Slugs out, start buggin out

Thugs out, tuck the heats in your bucket seats

Honey suckin' these sweets, doing 90 in the Jeep

Vainglorious, mic stand victorious

A hundred story high historian

Poor men of the street, jammed the game to the core again

Slander the Wu banner name, it's war again

It's war again


[Chorus]

*Gun cocking*

Lay down

*Bullets fire*

Motherfucker lay down

Lay down

Spray sounds, spray sounds

Spray sounds


[Verse 2]

Subject to sing like the slasher slither

Bitter do or die status

Apparatus tied to your liver, melanin never whither

Mount St. Helens swelling

Refreshing fearsome

Rebellious selling death to your eardrums

I'm never telling diary, just a firey felon

Coffins I'm nailing

All your frail men on a scale, your deep space maybes

Inject your offspring with the rabies

It's gravy train, order Remy, dirty glass

Sponge giving me bath, real pissy

Rendezvous with the fisheys fast

Demolition derby, attourney to rap before the journey

A 36 word remix

Firey phoenix, turntables wobble

Out the precinct, shake the ground decent

Still waiting for impeachment, I'm seasick


[Chorus]

*Gun cocking*

Lay down

*Bullets fire*

Motherfucker lay down

Lay down

Spray sounds, spray sounds

Spray sounds


[Verse 3]

Editor, sexual predator

In the burn centre

Temper, pepper salt

Hashish masterpiece out the vault

Twenty-seven years of hysteria, bury ya

In the gear of North America

Placenta, crack in its crisis

Kosovo tae-bo flow blow out the fo'

World trauma, who got the virus?

Pearl Harbour, casino classic, freeloader

Weed smoking bastards

Gambinos on amino acid, biohazards

Faster the groover, the hoover vacuum

The child spark remover sag 'em

Passionate wars with U-God, Nebraska to Alaska

Pipeline, the write rhyme massacre

Through racial barriers, the aircraft carrier severe

Spend your last carrot there, the skin lab

Tear your flesh everywhere

Soon to burst, scum dogs of the Universe

When will you learn, you'll get burned


[Chorus]

*Gun cocking*

Lay down

*Bullets fire*

Motherfucker lay down

Lay down

Spray sounds, spray sounds

Spray sounds

Tear it down
