Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

Word, these bitches be bugging God
Reason why ain't got nothing to do with nothing

Yeah, check it out y'all one two
We back up in this joint! What?
Check the fly shit, yeah
Don't black out on me

Yo, black man watch out, she salt-water trout
Al Deuce dug her back out, inside the dugout
Heard the pussy was good, big niggas fell victim
Mentally stripped em one God turned Christian
She know magic, soaking wet pussy on the matress
Skin like Cleopatra's, the leading actress
She been fucking since we went to fourteen, look at Miss Thing
With a ponytail kept a jar of Vasoline
She's a big girl now, with a body that growl
Likewise murder trial, smile attract crowds
Most niggas, would light the lord over this broad
Big niggas in they drawers pose one knee on the floor
Little kids daydream of humping wildflower
Hanna Barbera faint I'm riding no Rivera

Fat-ass whips big asses, colorful lips
Wide hips, baller kits, chrome dipped wearing
blue kicks, plus jeans booming beats
Loud horn beeps, crowded streets, the fusion yo
the heat is on, never too black or too strong
In one hour Wu-Tang Clan is about to perform
Police barricade, sidewalk crowded like parades
The arena now present, de event of the decade
Long braids and fades, baldheads, spangle waves
extensions, nails Friday, just got paid
Headliner or marquee is the prime time rhyme crime family
That shines Godly light
Upon this hip-hop art form, yo Dunn
We can't be measured by no chart, the God brung
Never bust premature for sure
You want it raw, let me plant my dynamite bitch
deep inside your core, the explosion stops the menstruation
Causes stomach inflation
Patiently waiting nine months for deportation
Of the Earth from the Moon, black woman stay in tune
Yo God, let me pour y'all the science about the womb
It's a black hole for those who lose control
Fertile soil before you are wise
And spoiled many men and took many lives




And all you brothers changed sides
Only worth a decimal compared to those who died inside

Overall Meaning

In Ghostface Killah's song Marvel, he and RZA take on the theme of women and their power over men. Ghostface begins by warning black men to be careful of "salt-water trout" women who can mentally strip them and turn them into Christians. He describes a woman, who started out as a young teenager, with skin like Cleopatra's and knows how to use her soaking wet magic. This woman has a body that growls and an attractive smile, causing men to light the lord over her. Ghostface says he even knows little kids who daydream of being with her.


RZA comes in on the second verse, and he starts describing women as having big asses, wide hips, baller kits, and colorful lips. He also mentions how the Wu-Tang Clan is about to perform at an event, and the place is crowded with various types of black people. He continues the theme of women having power over men with references to their ability to "stop the menstruation" and create life inside the womb, which is like a "black hole for those who lose control." The lyrics suggest that women hold a certain type of power over men that can make them lose control and even change sides.


Overall, the song is an intense exploration of male desire and its relationship to women's power. The lyrics depict women as having a dangerous allure and even suggest that they can lead men to their downfall. While the lyrics themselves may be controversial, they speak to the complicated and sometimes painful realities of human relationships.

The fact that RZA plays just over 3 minutes of the beat at the end makes it so good
