America Lyrics by Wu-Tang Clan

America Is Dying Slowly

1996

[Intro: Killah Priest, Raekwon]
Continous
Yeah, youknowhatI'msayin?
Wu-Tang
Aiyyo aiyyo, come on yo yo yo I'mma shoot over here
On that AIDS thing
YouknowhatI'msayin? I'm gonna just slide in the studio quick and get this done
Yo, yo
[Verse 1: Killah Priest]
When you're sexually frustrated, plus waited for a long time
You both had strong minds
Combined with feelings, she seems appealing, for each other
Discreet lover, no longer keeps rubbers
Smothered under deep covers
Erotic programs, Moet and slow jams
Enough to make you hold hands and plus you a bold man
You fall in a manhole where the forbidden tree grow
And bullshit ego of fly negro
Her garden sour, polluted with a dead flower
Months later, he's laying on a respirator
Depending on a generator to keep his heart moving
And start losing sight in his right eye
In weeks he might die
[Verse 2: Raekwon]
I know this dope-fiend cat, word up, his name is Javier
Part-time shooter sharing needles in the stairs
Wise guy disguised as a fly guy, you getting high right?
Weeded up with red shit in your right eye
You's a menace, your brain cells finished
Begging forgiveness, calling that up top shit syphillis
You knew what you was getting into
Try to guess on what I've been through
Fuck shorty raw then she scared you
[Chorus: Raekwon]
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from the Wu, it's real
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from my crew, it's real
[Verse 3: RZA]
My nigga Chuck, he loved to fuck
Everything, exotic bitches down to ugly ducks
Like Nancy, who liked the fancy tickles
So he put popsicles on her nipples to make her sex passion triple quadruple
Until she bust, overcome with passion, big ass want lust upon him
But nigga he forsake to grab the condom
Fuck it, he said AIDS was government made to keep niggas afraid
So they won't get laid, no babies be made
And the black population will decrease within a decade
German warfare plot against the dark shade
[Chorus: Raekwon]
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from my crew, it's real
AIDS kills, word up respect this, yo
Coming from the Wu, it's real
[Verse 4: Masta Killa]
Caught by the gravitation Earth rotation
Six in the sex is deep
When you can't see clear through the sheer brassiere
Toke back, smoking a spliff, sipping cognac
God, you know my two love songs, Bobby Womack tracks
Got her fat ass laying flat on her back
[Verse 5: Inspectah Deck]
Yo, as she lay, she wore a silk gray neglige
Alize pours, the radio play Marvin Gaye
What's Going On? As she screams Sexual Healing
Couldn't fight the feeling, her legs hit the ceiling
Hitting all positions, dipped in a quick love
She's professional, she does this shit in strip clubs
Flied in June until she Acquired Immune Deficiency
Now misery is the Syndrome
[Interlude: Raekwon and others]
Oh shit, God that's wild
Damn, that's some cherry flavor
Shit going on though, kid
For real, know what I'm saying?
What about the exotic type
Caskets is waiting for brothers
Word up slide on the joints baby
Before you go to sex take protection
Word up
[Chorus 2: Raekwon]
AIDS kills, word up, respect this
America Is Dying Slowly
AIDS kills, word up, respect this
America Is Dying Slowly
AIDS kills, word up, respect this
America Is Dying Slowly
AIDS kills, word up, respect this
America Is Dying Slowly
[Outro: Raekwon]
Yeah, word yo, sliding up in this store right here, man
I ain't even playing that man, for real
(Dig it)
It's definitely real, I'm living kid (word up)
Here forever, word up
(looking kind of bogus anyway)
You know what I'm saying'
You know what I'm saying', lubricated joints
The ribbed joints is banging
(But they still playing the hotel door, man)
Word, you know how that be though, you know how that be
(Yo, just getting me too old)
Chick over there looking like Sonny & Cher
Over there (peace right here)
Yeah
(America Is Dying Slowly, surely)
America Is Dying Slowly
America Is Dying Slowly
(Remember that! Syndrome, be the resident)
America Is Dying Slowly
(Wu-Tang) (Syndrome.be the resident)
Noodles, Bobby Steels, Lou Diamonds
Killah Priest, Rollie Rollie Fingers
Jonathan Blaze, Maximillions
(Prodigal Sunn) Anthony Starks (Heaven Razah)
Prodigal Sunn (and in the place, 60 Second)
Sunz of Man
Gambinos forever, forever, forever...
(Keep it safe!)
Ol' Dirt Schultz (keep it safe)
Word up, baby
Protect yourself! (Protect yourself, son)
Keep it safe
