Boing Boing
RZA Lyrics

Regardless, I'll be here bringin' it heartless
No matter what, I will continue to bring my music with a fearless and unapologetic attitude

Ruthless, to the death I'll stand for the truth yes
I will always represent the truth and stand up for it, even if it means facing challenges or adversity

My God given talent is all that I can do best
I believe that my talent as a musician is a gift from a higher power and it is what I excel at the most

Keep spittin' over these tracks and leavin' you blessed
I will continue to rap over these beats and leave a positive impact or a sense of fulfillment on the listeners

So who requested my time on the set
Who asked for me to perform or be present?

Skinnyman's what you get, so you ain't really hearin' nuttin' yet
You are about to experience the talent and skill of Skinnyman, and what you have heard so far is just the beginning

Ya best upthreat 'cause it gets better yet
Prepare yourself because it's only going to improve from here

I'm that deft intellect, them boy they don't pent
I possess a sharp and quick-witted intelligence that others can't match

So who requested Wu-Tang on the set (it's the RZA)
Who asked for Wu-Tang Clan's music to be played? It's RZA, one of the members of the group

What you get so you ain't really hearin' nuttin' yet
What you have heard so far is just a taste, there's more to come

We'll never let anybody else step
We won't allow anyone else to take our place or overshadow us

Or ever come with anything less for what you'd expect
We will always deliver and meet the high expectations people have for our music

If you pass me the mic then I'll gladly accept
If you give me the opportunity to perform, I will gladly take it

I'll take it to the street, show you how rough it can get
I will bring my music to the streets and demonstrate the harsh realities and challenges of life

'cause everybody knows this rappin' thing isn't happenin'
Everyone is aware that trying to pursue a career in rap music is difficult

Now they jack it in and go back to shottin' crack again
Now they give up on their rap dreams and return to selling drugs

Locked down the block and get strapped with the gat again
They get arrested and locked up on the street, carrying a gun again

Then we break it down then just deal with the matter then
We break it down and confront the issue at hand

So how you'd think a British ghetto youth feels
Imagine how a young person from a disadvantaged neighborhood in Britain would feel

He can't get a record deal but he can get drugs to deal
He is unable to secure a contract to make music, but he can easily obtain drugs to sell

He can't get a job but he can go for rob and steel
He struggles to find employment, but he resorts to theft and crime to make a living

Lookin' for a mill' while you screamin' "keep it real!"
He is searching for a million pounds while others emphasize the importance of staying genuine and true to oneself

So I'll just stand here with this mic that I hold
I will remain here, holding this microphone, ready to perform

Request the higher force to sweep over my soul
I ask for a higher power to bless me with inspiration and creativity

So I can fulfill my dream, go for my goals
I want to achieve my dreams and pursue my aspirations

I'm sick of spendin' every late night out of role
I'm tired of staying up all night, feeling like I'm not in the right frame of mind

Calm but still merciless, rugged on impact
I may appear calm, but I can be ruthless and intense when I make an impact

Explosive, leavin' nuttin' but rubber with a spinback
I bring a powerful and dynamic energy that leaves nothing behind but the aftermath of my performance

Snap a photo with your camera, capture the stamina
Take a picture with your camera and try to capture the energy and endurance I bring

Hand it to a amateur, show him how to damage a
Pass the photo to an inexperienced person and demonstrate how to deliver a powerful impact

Live set, make him feel the full effect
During a live performance, I make the audience feel the complete and impactful experience

And yet still make it hard to detect and what's left?
I manage to make it difficult to perceive or comprehend my true intentions or the remaining possibilities

Four men remain standin' like Gladiators
Only four men are left standing, displaying strength and resilience similar to Gladiators

When the dusk clears nuttin' for the average ears
Once everything settles, there is nothing left for the ordinary listeners to hear

For years its been the same with minds of the artillery
For years, our minds have stayed focused and armed with the knowledge and skills

God forgave us all for the merciless delivery
Despite our intense and relentless approach, we believe that God has forgiven us for our actions

Holdin' the tools of the trade with a death grip
We firmly grasp and wield the instruments and techniques necessary for our craft

Rememberin' the times when nothin' was right, we was desperate
Reflecting on the past when everything was chaotic and nothing seemed to go well, we felt desperate

Dreams blown to smithereens, turned into nightmares with screams
Our dreams were shattered and destroyed, transforming into terrifying nightmares filled with screams

There's a world of CREAM
There is a world where money and success can be achieved

If all goes correct we can stash supreme
If everything goes according to plan, we can accumulate ultimate power and wealth

Feed the fiend 'cause that's the way it was meant to have been
Provide what the people desire because that is the natural order of things

You should of seen the comin', the language is universal
You should have predicted this, as the language of music transcends borders and cultures

One time perfect attack with no rehearsal
Our performance is flawless and precise, without the need for any practice or preparation

Shook the Earth for what it's worth
Our impact was so significant that it caused upheaval and had a profound effect

You're in danger of a takeover, and it's analysed as global
You are at risk of being taken over and this threat is being examined on a global scale

We can find them whatever your predictions
We can locate and confront our enemies regardless of what you might predict or anticipate

Enterin' the realm unknown with no restricitons
We are entering an unfamiliar territory with no limitations or constraints

It might be hard to believe
This may be difficult to comprehend

We invade, we conquer and lead
We enter aggressively, achieve victory, and take the lead

I'm a country man at heart but a city man by nature
Although I have a strong connection to my rural roots, my personality is more suited for urban environments

'cause even though it's fuck free, it's all about the paper
Despite the freedom and liberation, money is still the driving force and priority

I love to live expensive, smoke like I'm in Jamiaca
I enjoy living luxuriously and indulging in smoking, as if I were in Jamaica

Even when I'm broke I think I'm like but a creater
Even when I don't have much money, I perceive myself as someone important or influential

Avoids the green, even from my early teens
I stay away from marijuana, even from a young age

???????? in need of CREAM seen (seen)
I avoid indulging in drugs or illegal activities because I desire financial success

But then I had a dream 'bout bein' the best rapper
I had a dream where I envisioned myself as the greatest rapper

But that ain't what it seems, next chapter
However, reality is different and the future holds a new phase or direction

That's spreadin' the word
I aim to share a message or spread awareness

Inspiration from the hurb is what you hear when I got heard
You can hear the influence and inspiration from the urban environment in my music

I sat back and observed most of the men that shined before me
I took a step back and closely watched and studied the achievements of those who became successful before me

All that respect, keeper know 'nough of them will bore me
Although they gained respect in the industry, many of them fail to captivate or interest me

Singin' the same story, I'm better than you
They all claim to be superior to others, boasting about their skills and abilities

And to tell you the truth most of them men are shut fools
To be honest, many of them are foolish and lacking in true substance

We asked them in the struggle to make ends meet
During times of difficulty, we put them to the test to see if they can support themselves financially

That's why I told these MCs that talk is cheap
This is why I emphasize to other rappers that talk is easy and meaningless without action

You might think you know Tibbs, you don't know me
You may believe that you understand who Mr. Tibbs is, but you actually have no idea

Unless you walk my streets and talk to my peeps
The only way to truly know me is to experience my neighborhood and engage with the people I know

With your high pitched face like eye liner
Your face that looks exaggerated or overly made up, similar to wearing eyeliner

If the black gat bust you get struck by the side winder
If the gun goes off, you will be hit by the bullet and feel its impact

You can't block and stop it when I spotted
You cannot defend against or prevent it when I have spotted or targeted you

I shoot like Luke Skywalker inside the cockpit
I attack or fire with precision and accuracy, similar to how Luke Skywalker pilots his spaceship

Aimin' at the top fighter
I am targeting the best or most skilled fighter

Who I mighta have thirty thousand kids spark the lighter
A reference to having a large number of fans or followers who are excited and enthusiastic about my music

And set flames to the sky, we aim high
We ignite and intensify the energy and excitement, aiming for great success

The baseline kick like the kid from Shang-Hi
The bassline delivers a powerful impact, similar to the kicks from a skilled martial artist from Shanghai

Make your bubble bust, cuddle up from the rubble thrust
We disrupt your comfortable existence and force you to cope with chaos and destruction

You'se will have the double juice duck, then I doubled up
You will need to be extra cautious and aware, as I will bring twice the intensity and force

To the double four, puddles pour from ya bum bot
We bring the intensity and force equivalent to 44 guns, causing chaos and destruction

Open swords can't be cured by the blood clot
Violence and conflicts cannot be easily resolved or healed

Ya bum bastards, son I come classic
You worthless and unappealing individuals, I come with a timeless and classic approach

Frame won't last the length of my matchstick
Your reputation or status won't endure for as long as my success and influence

Drunk off the Hennessey V.S. stop the B.S.
Intoxicated from consuming Hennessey V.S., I disregard any nonsense or falsehoods

I'm still off to catch the CREAM like P.S.
I am still pursuing financial success and wealth, like a postal service delivering packages

Jake was makin' that green
The police were making money, potentially referring to corruption or illegal activities

People always say what the hell does that mean
People often question or wonder about the meaning or implications behind certain actions or events
