Insomnia
RZA Lyrics

Bobby, come on baby
The girl urges RZA to come towards her affectionately.

Let's lay down and let's get some sleep (Word)
She suggests that they should sleep together.

Bobby.. come here baby
The woman calls out to RZA again, asking for his physical presence.

Lay down, let's get some sleep
She repeats her desire to sleep together.

I can't sleep like a child on Christmas Eve
RZA is too restless to fall asleep.

Like a tender head girl in a shop gettin' a weave
He uses the image of a young woman at a salon to further convey his restlessness.

Like a woman in labor about to produce the seed
RZA expresses his anxiety by using the imagery of a woman in the final stages of delivering a baby.

Or Method Man with PlayStation and an ounce of weed
RZA uses the image of his friend Meth not being able to sleep because of his gaming and marijuana habits.

Some say it's hard to distinguish, my form of broken English
RZA acknowledges that he has a unique way of speaking that may be difficult for others to understand.

When spoke, the light I provide it cannot be extinguished
RZA believes that his message and wisdom is too important to be disregarded.

Or eclipsed by a 1000 moons, I stay in tune
RZA is confident in his abilities to stay on track despite obstacles or challenges.

And praise the Most High past the day of their doom
He continues to express his faith and devotion to a higher power even in the darkest of times.

I squeeze black rubber grip 22 D's on the rims
RZA highlights his expertise with firearms and emphasizes his readiness to use them.

Squeal out, leavin' black rubber skids, other kids
He brags about his driving skills and intimidates others who may try to compete with him.

Couldn't match to the old Pistol Pete Rock, beast stop
RZA compares himself to the basketball player Pistol Pete and points out that he is unstoppable just like him.

The heat pops, you better get your mother kid
He warns others to be prepared for danger because he is ready to use his weapons.

This is Bad News Bears, like Eddie Munster
He compares himself to a fictional character known for being mischievous and causing trouble.

I keep a dragon under my stairs
RZA reveals that he is well-prepared to defend himself against any danger that comes his way.

Plus a gun in my hat, ain't no runnin' from that
He boasts about his ability to quickly access a weapon when needed and that others should not try to flee from him.

Ain't no runnin' with that pack
RZA implies that anyone who is not with him will not be able to keep up or survive against him.

The poison apple, dunn, I crush Kings
RZA uses the metaphor of a poisoned apple to represent his dangerous and lethal ability to overpower his enemies.

One two, yo, 280 grains of gun powder stuffed inside the cartridge
He describes the contents of a bullet to emphasize its power and potential for destruction.

Split ya wig, drive you off the Gotham's Bridge
RZA's violent tendencies are apparent as he implies he would take someone's life and throw them off a bridge.

Wild like a finger of Hercura
He compares himself to the god of war, who was known for being fierce and merciless.

Scholastic type brain like Aken Handsurdera
RZA highlights his intelligence despite his violent nature.

I've got wolves that'll murder ya for a veggie burner
He reveals that even his followers or associates would act violently for him over something as small as a vegetarian meal.

Spaghetti heads, meet the heavy burner
He insults his enemies by referring to them as 'spaghetti heads' and makes it clear that he is more than capable of handling them.

I put a oodle up in ya noodle
RZA's violent language is apparent again as he threatens to shoot someone in the head.

Then I head to the dread spot for a bag of that doodoo
He changes the previous topic by discussing his fondness of smoking marijuana.

Black photographic, I don't know no magic
RZA clarifies that his skills with weapons are not supernatural but rather technical and well-practiced.

But I know how to hold a full automatic
Despite the lack of magic, he is an expert in handling guns.

Add a nickel to it son if you have to add it
His confidence in his abilities is unwavering - he is willing to bet on himself and expects to win.

Better make sure ya kevlaar is steel padded
He warns others to protect themselves as he is lethal and can cause significant damage.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, I've got beaucoup cess
He references a famous movie but changes the topic by stating that he has a lot of marijuana.

Get beaucoup from best bitches plus I shoot through vests
He adds that he receives his marijuana from the best sources and that even bulletproof vests would be useless against him.

Drive Fast Cars, crash bars at 5 AM
RZA describes his reckless behavior by driving fast and crashing into bar entrances in the early hours of the morning.

Stash jars of hash inside the backyard
He concludes his verse with a reference to his stash of marijuana.

[Chorus]
The woman's desired actions towards RZA are reiterated.
