Killah Priest & Masta Killa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
High chief Jamel Arief
I represent the Wu Tang Clan kid
Tony Touch, 50 MC's
Wu-Killa Bee collaboration for the nation
Intriguing to the ear
But bitter to the heart
The art of dart throwing
Starring the Wu Tang swordsman
Day two breaks, it's a stormy Monday
My ninjas lay in revines and ditches
Underneath shrubs and leaves
They breathe through underwater wreaths
The enemy walks above
I remain subterranean in mud
Off-shore banks tanks approach the location
Bombed by the circle of death formation
Communication lines are sniped from
These low altitude strikes
And large in helmets of shrapnel
Fragments of shell
Inhale these highly venomous thoughts
That I propel through the north facility
The city must suffer
At the hands of the chief's
Command volts are sent
At three minute intervals the heat intenses
Deadening the power from electrical fences
The fences are down
Knowledge material lies through the sound
Revealing the skill that causes
The ground to tilt, feel the tension
Blistering quills are scorching
You could never stomach the
Eruption of god dimension
Science is the study of all things
Knowledge my sword swing
Guns go off in the east wing
It's a blessin' to deliver this lesson
Who's resting? You've been
Summonsed to awaken
A nation of sleeping giants who are
Clients to the devil's civilization
Migration expands my plan to
The maximum capacity
Killarmy, nothing can hold we
From launchin' out over the
Earth and disperse in the triple darkness
Niggas return unscathed
At ease and as you were
But the thought of be able to breathe
And leave these worldly possessions
Have emcees fret to step in my direction

White boy from New Mexico. Been a Wu fan since day one. GZA is the greatest. A clan of stars, The Genius is the best.

Masta killa is so unique
@benacioesquivel8358
I still get goosebumps when I hear this#realhiphop
@FirstLast-vl1uy
These two should do a whole album together with Deck also. Those 3 have some kind of amazing chemistry that exists only with them
@tselisonkuebe9116
Yes, yes. Exactly. So many combinations inside the Wu would be explosive. You're right. Gza brings that intelligent genius, INS is at his best when in a group and he sets it off. Masta killa hooks up well with GZA.

@@tselisonkuebe9116 I feel like Masta Killa is really underrated. Hes got an amazing slow poetic flow and his wordplay is unlike anyone elses. When you have the best verse on a classic album like enter the 36 then you gotta be one of the greats. The story of how the verse got on there is great too. I saw him solo live at Rock the Bells in NY in 2011. It was a really really good performance especially considering he was by himself. Its not easy to perform hiphop live especially on your own
