Third World Lyrics by Soul Assassins

The Soul Assassins: Chapter I

1997

[Intro: RZA & sample]
Yeah-yeah-yeah, one-two, one-two
Aiyyo, Wu-Tang's invincible
Better understand the principle
My man Muggs, droppin' phat tracks like drugs
Breaker-breaker one two, breaker-breaker one two
You're breakin' up, peace
"We're at the crossroads, our immediate future
Is the worst war man will ever know"
[Verse 1: GZA]
Via satellite from the Wu-Mansion
Still branchin' off the tree that sparked any MC
And the fruit that fell far was the ripest
It was Cypress, let the media hype this
Promotion niggas snipe this
Push it like tray bags of 72
Kept niggas in suede rags
Microphone psycho, who flips the mic so well
Held without bail, in jams packed like jail-cells
There's no escapin' once my blade starts scrapin'
Niggas flakin', wannabe MCs is shakin'
My sword indeed make more niggas bleed
So swift, naked eye couldn't record the speed
I lost ya with that offer, nigga, that'll cost ya
Feel the strings of torture
Must've been the half-gal, that's the shit he drinkin' that got him thinkin'
That he could trash the ship and get me sinkin'
I told him, "Come back when you're sober"
Drunk-ass punk, on the motherfuckin' Hunt for Red October
Don't even catch me when I'm blunted
Rhymes start runnin' like loops on a SP-1200
Instruments of terror on warship, it's corporate
Visual niggas paint portraits
[Verse 2: RZA]
Yo, check the mic line for wire-taps, "We under attack"
"man your stations, take aim, proceed", fire back
All hands on deck
Cadet, vets, insert cassettes
Tracks snap heads like berets, catch web-sites like internet
"Chief, I detected vehicles approachin' from the East"
Pass the infrared binoculars, captain, so I can see
Sound the alarm
Call for the suicidal-kamikaze ninjas with the bombs
Flashes of neon, all we saw was flyin' arms
Anytime I come by, alumni cut short their air supply
Send 'em back like George McFly
I be holdin' this, travel ground like a motorist
Poisonous gas released from my track, its odorless and tasteless
Like Ghost is face-less
Which allowed the God to break backs and beat a hundred cases
MCs heads weave like trees, in a breeze of rhymes like these
Underwater flow strike like torpedoes
You get plugged more than Del Rio, played short like De Vito
Split the fuck up like Mike-Jack and Tito
Sword cuts sharper than Concorde needles
Call my second private
"Tell him write this important message to Cypress"
I heard Yacub's assistant on the island was Dr. Titus
And they just released a new deadly virus
To infiltrate the Western States
It's time to pump out more rap tapes
And use the Wu-Tang symbol to communicate
"RZA — over and out!"
