Longevity Lyrics by Inspectah Deck

Uncontrolled Substance

1999

[Intro: Inspectah Deck]
Uh, yea
In my time, I've seen a lot of people come and go
A lot of new faces, been to a lot of new places
Wherever we went, we always held it down
While we conquered new grounds. It's a universal sound
The Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game
Yo...

[Hook: Inspectah Deck]
Not many last in the game
Wu-Tang coming through, breaking out the same way we came
This is not an act, this is actual fact
Nothing but experience placed upon the track
Not many last in the game
Wu-Tang coming through, breaking out the same way we came
This is not an act, this is actual fact
Nothing but experience placed upon the tracks

[Verse 1: Inspectah Deck]
We stand perpendicular with no flaws
Breaking all laws, plus jaws, the writing's on the walls
Heartless, starving artists, out to get ours
Regardless, marvelous doctrines, we shock this
Fist of the black lotus, busting out the steel cage
Iron Mic Duel made the front page
Outlaws, out for yours, get down on all fours
Rebel with a cause, without applause to the score
"Pillaging" with Donna-Cap, this persona rap
Hitting like a cornerback, blitzing on the track
Fully-auto, got the mic blow, strike low
High-caliber flow move the crowd, twist your torso
2009 block party, Bobby Digital
Pop corks to us and the God's we trust
Adjust to the highs that we bring with the lows
In the midst of hell speaking out in morse code
Running wild like dogs out the kennel through the venue
Simple chemistry, vitamins plus the minerals
Organic vowels, consonants, syllables
Condition critical, ill individual
Paint a picture too vivid for the visual
Material rips through to the gristle

[Hook: Inspectah Deck]
Not many last in the game
Wu-Tang coming through, breaking out the same way we came
This is not an act, this is actual fact
Nothing but experience placed upon the track
Not many last in the game
Wu-Tang coming through, breaking out the same way we came
This is not an act, this is actual fact
Nothing but experience placed upon track

[Verse 2: U-God]
Yo, the message in my music grab you, stuck in my sentence
Gotta spit from the bottomless pit, speaking my vengeance
Masked avenger never surrender my heritage
Killah Hill resident, 5'10" be my measurement
On land we stand under flags as confederates
You thinkin' you rule, pity the fool when the shell drop, it's hot
Bodies scream to the extreme, damn, I'm delicate
We living irrelevant, intelligent, dirty habit
They full of fragment, abandon all 10 commandments
Damage is done as the records spins, hatred in my features
Untamed, thus these cold blooded creatures bust
Architect gladiator radiate the power
Erupt with corrupt minds, locked in the tower
The crook's pressure cook invasion be destroyed
Self-employed Paranoid Androids

[Verse 3: Inspectah Deck]
My rhyme cold winds clear streets and slams shutters
Basic Instinct to tear the roof off the mother
Drastic verbal gymnastics, far from the average
Hold the planet like Galactus
Lone Ranger, ancestors rolled with stone bangers
Never met a force deadly as my own anger
Clutch performer raised on the blood soaked corners
Of real life with real trife heads, they prey on ya
And not many last in the game
Whether it be lies, fly songs or drugs you slang
In the beginning, it didn't come fast amongst the gun blast
Striving, my eyes on lump sums of cash
Cash Rules Everything Around Me, surroundin me with champagne wishes
But I see long distance
A strong vision planted deep within the mental
Mind detect mind and analyze what I sent you

[Hook: Inspectah Deck]
Not many last in the game
Wu-Tang coming through, breaking out the same way we came
This is not an act, this is actual fact
Nothing but experience placed upon the track
Not many last in the game
Wu-Tang coming through, breaking out the same way we came
This is not an act, this is actual fact
Nothing but experience placed upon track
