Advance Pawns
DJ Muggs vs. GZA Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, a special guest appearance
Acknowledging a special guest appearance

From the slums, yo, aiyo
From the slums, making a casual greeting

I examine your diameter, third eye, light the camera up
I carefully inspect your dimensions including spiritual insight and illuminate the camera

Be careful, I got four ninjas inside your parameter
Be cautious, as I have four stealthy warriors within your area

Perimeter, flame burst out all sides like Gamora
The surroundings are engulfed in flames in all directions, similar to the fictional character Gamora

My poisonous is released, gas from the canister
My deadly gas is unleashed from the container

Raise the black fist, we keep the earth on it's axis
Empowering ourselves and keeping the world stable

I make a good day move slow like molasses
I slow down time and make a good day last

Welcome to the bee hive, dual processor with the G5
Welcome to our productive and efficient environment, using advanced technology

There's not a tape or disco break, I can't revive
I can revive any old music genre with my talents

In this high tech world of fire wire and microchip
In this technology-driven world

We still keep the four
We still hold onto the traditional four-five clip firearm

Five clip, filled with the spiral tip
The five clip contains ammunition with a spiral tip for added damage

I come from the 36 Chambers of danger
I come from a place of danger and skilled rappers, named the 36 Chambers

With many lyrical swordsmen, that quick to change ya
With many skilled rappers who can quickly out-rap and change their competition

The difficulty to see closely, is mostly
It's often hard to closely see and understand

It's a critical point, when ya rap niggaz approach me
When other rappers try to approach me

Like the blind, death, dumb, whose mind was left numb
Similar to those who are blind or deaf, unable to comprehend what's happening around them

A non be Boy nigga couldn't rhyme to the drum
Some rappers aren't talented enough to rap to the beat

When I started MC'ing, I entered the gates of pleasure
When I started rapping, I entered a new world of happiness

Not knowing, I becoming with too much to measure
Not knowing that I would become someone too great to measure

With the math of an elder and the steel of a welder
Using the wisdom of an elder and the strength of a welder

The path of tray that I had laid down and held a
The path I created and continued to hold onto

Blueprint, that would draw attention like the Pope
A plan that would receive attention and admiration like the Pope

I examine all with the internal mirror of the scope
I analyze everything with an inner focus that magnifies understanding

Supreme deluxe edition, cream with a touch of wisdom
Extremely high quality, with added knowledge

Beams that through up the system, spleens, I conduct, you listen
My powerful beams shake the system, and I control everything- listen carefully

How you gonna tell me no, yo, the fuck you is in
Who are you to tell me no?

Locked in a four block radius like a public prison
Holding myself captive in a small radius like a public prison

Twenty-two year old, Dunn, ain't got a cup to piss in
A poor twenty-two year old who has nothing

But he got a barrel gun and that's knuckle twitching
He may not have much, but he has a gun that he's ready to use

And he got a baby, moms and a cousin bitching
He also has a family that depends on him, but they constantly complain

Went to catch a body now, he stuck in another prison
He committed a crime and is now imprisoned again

When you see it, you better acknowledge your all swords
When you notice something, raise your weapon in a sign of respect

Blaze the green hundred fours, pull out on you, blew you for the cause
Smoke marijuana and pull out your firearm in order to show dedication to the cause

And Sudan outst a nigga, seclude you from my Clan
If you're caught slacking or being less than loyal, I'll exile you from my group

This is water glock, aces on cameras sniffin' raw
This is a powerful firearm, with cameras monitoring its use

Why try to fuck with these lecturers?
Why even attempt to compete with us, expert rappers?

I'm so high powered, my electrical structure blew down the floor
I'm so talented that the power of my rhymes figuratively caused destruction

You was king for a second, I reigned, came with a different name
You may have had a brief reign as king, but I took over with a unique skillset

The W.T.C. family and more one
The Wu-Tang Clan family and more to come, as we continue to expand

They applause when I make my entrance
People cheer for me when I arrive

I move on 'em with age and experience, before I start the sentence
I use my wisdom and experience to intimidate them before I even start rapping

The rhyme was designed to meet most demand
I crafted my rap to meet popular demand

Is enough to compensate, fertilize the land
My lyrics are impactful enough to make up for any shortcomings, and metaphorically enrich the world

He blew out the belt drive, MC's they felt vibes
He rapped so hard that it became destructive, and other rappers felt the impact

Powerful dart, narrowly missing your whole tribe
A potent attack, that barely misses your entire group of people

Scientists look at the magnitude and devastation
Scientists analyze the great scale of destruction

But the strands of heavy metal seem to have no relation
The metal strands that caused the damage appear to hold no connection to each other

But it's always potential for large scale disasters
There's always potential for massive destruction

Because the instrumentals spins a hundred times faster
Because the music is incredibly fast-paced and intense

Many was taken, is at the price of a pawn
Many sacrifices were made for the greater good, at the cost of the insignificant pawns

And the collective lost had left, thousand of mourn
The loss of so many hit the group hard, and thousands mourned their death

Them, Clansmen are the nucleus of hiphop
The members of the Wu-Tang Clan are the central figures of hip hop

There's no room for error, M see's will get dropped
There's no tolerance for mistakes- anyone who falls behind will be left behind

Evidence of terrifying threats from heat pressure
Proof of frightening intimidation tactics

Power by strong winds that blew rhymes off the dresser
Powered by strong forces that can disrupt and disorient even the most stable things

The words spread through the town from Yonkers to Leffers
My lyrics spread through various locations, leaving an impact

And to kill off the slang was a city wide effort
An attempt to rid the city of a certain vocabulary was made

But they couldn't be more wrong, my click was all strong
Their attempt was futile, my group was too strong and resilient

Fit together seamlessly, til you're all gone
Our group works together so well that we become unstoppable

The queen by far, is the strongest piece
In chess, the queen is the most powerful piece

Should too, should not be prematurely brought
Don't bring the queen out too early

Into play, during in the opening
Don't use the queen too early in the game

Or she will be attacked by wicked pieces and driven back
Otherwise, the queen will be vulnerable and forced back by opponents

It is very dangerous to make a raid
It's very risky to make unexpected moves

With the queen early on in the game
With the queen being used too early on

It is best, in opening, to make but one move with the queen
It's best to only use the queen once in the beginning

And that, to a square where she is not exposed
And use her on a square where she's not at risk of being attacked

To any direct or indirect attack
Where she's not vulnerable to any type of attack, from any direction
