You'll Never Know
RZA Lyrics

One-two, one-two
Checking the mic

Mic check, one-two, one-two (you don't know, that I really love you)
Checking the mic while expressing love to someone

Yo, yo, you'll never know
The person being addressed will never know how much the singer loves them

I love you like how birds love rose petals, killarmy love full metal
Comparing love to different things that strongly go together

I love you like how the Park Hill cats love to pull metal
Comparing love to something often associated with violence

The heat will make ya head whistle loud like a full kettle
Heat can cause unpleasant effects

I come like the Mecca in civilizin'
The singer brings a sense of organization and progress

The Roman Greco, Chicago Bull bandana
A combination of different cultural references

I keep police scanners from fishes
The artist avoids being caught by the police

They try to slash me out like Daryl Hannah
The artist is targeted by someone like Daryl Hannah's character in the movie "Kill Bill"

And blow my spot, no, I'm not the polka-dot
The singer is not someone who is easily spotted or identified

I tote weight, sip scotch, bust shots, smoke a lot
Describing the artist's lifestyle

My cousin Billy, he done it silly, used to joke a lot
Talking about the singer's cousin and his behavior

Chased bitches, cut class, got high and stayed broke a lot
Describing the singer's cousin's lifestyle

So when the rent was due he would grab the identical
Talking about what the singer's cousin would do to make money

Twin gats and put a fuckin' hole in your right ventricle
The artist's cousin is violent when necessary

Not sober yet no potent threat, yo, I hold a Tec
The artist is not completely sober, but still poses a threat

Show this jet pack on my back, blast like Boba Fett
The singer has a powerful weapon and is ready to use it

While you bickerin', this flame is still flickerin'
Despite any disagreements, the singer's passion is still present

Then the magnetic attraction to my wisdom keeps you listenin'
The listener is drawn to the artist's intelligence and keeps listening

Yo
Attention grabbing exclamation

Choco bang that shit!
Encouraging someone to enjoy the music

Yeah, yeah (you don't know, that I really love you)
Repeating the sentiment of the song

Killa Beez, European
Referencing the Wu-Tang Clan's nickname and international relevance

Yo, yo, shut up!
Commanding someone to be quiet

Ayo, my sword so sharp I split the tweeters in ya genelacs
The singer's weapon is powerful enough to damage audio equipment

European Killa Beez attack, chk-chk-chk
Preparing for an attack

I never smoke blunts, tote weight, nor bust shots
The artist does not engage in criminal activity

But fuck with me I guarantee you'll get ya neck chopped
The artist is still dangerous

Be the haunting, dauntin', brothers won't fuck
The singer is intimidating and respected

With the Wu-Tang swordsman, slowly get dropped
Opponents will slowly lose to the Wu-Tang Clan's members

When my Shaolin sword, swing at nasty immigrants with passports
The artist is willing to use their weapon on anyone, regardless of their status

To teach man, woman and child, with the sword style
The artist believes in using their weapon to teach a lesson

God, complete the presence
Seeking divine presence

It only takes seconds to chop a nigga head on RZA records
The singer is dangerous and can easily harm someone

But you a worthless effort, follow faster then leopards
The artist is too strong for their opponent

I can't wait to return to the fuckin' essence
The singer wants to return to the fundamentals of hip-hop

Of hip-hop, yo, my shit chop constantly
The singer's music is always true to the roots of hip-hop

It's over when my shit drops, son, honestly
The singer is confident in their music

I love the RZA and the whole Wu academy
Expressing love for the Wu-Tang Clan's leader and group

For givin' me a chance to be what I want to be (what?)
Grateful for the opportunity to pursue their dreams

But you will never know how much
Repeating the sentiment from earlier

Do you think this cocked back mic will jam or choke?
Asking a rhetorical question about the mic

Come on my nigga, listen yo
Encouraging someone to pay attention

Do you think this black mic will cock back, jam or choke?
Asking a rhetorical question about the mic

I should stick a long silver hook down your throat
The artist is threatening someone

And snatch out your vocal, bitch my eyes is black opal
The singer is confident and intimidating

Reflectin' this 2.2 kilogram mac that smoke you
The artist is reflecting on their powerful weapon

Firin' lightnin', northern lights, duck tight and chocolate Philly
Referencing different natural phenomena and cities in a creative way

Lyrics pierce through the ear like the spear of Achilles
The singer's lyrics are powerful and impactful

Iron body Bobby Digital suit, don't bother to shoot
The singer has a strong and protective suit

Quicker than Clint when I draw the six shoo'
The artist is fast and deadly

Mortal Kombat whether it's the blind or the mute
The artist is willing to fight anyone

Cripple a idiot, dunn, it sounds ridiculous
The singer is making fun of their opponents

Rapid flow got you petro, my voice echo, echoes
The singer's flow is fast and powerful

Off the wall street money we stack like golden geckos
The artist is making money in creative ways

Gecko, gecko, let go my eggo or feel my eagle
Playing on different words to create a catchy phrase

4, 5, 6 in my hand, I've rolled the Cee-Lo
Referencing a popular gambling game

Brother knocked the long pound, ounces or straight kilos
Talking about someone's drug operation

You know how we go, it's the Killa Bee show
Referencing the Wu-Tang Clan's nickname again

Then I love you like how the Pharaoh loves Joseph
Comparing love to a story in the Bible

The Jews love Moses, like a man bendin' down on one knee before he proposes
Comparing love to different scenarios

Express the faith of Abraham, about to slay Isaac
Referencing another story in the Bible

And the patience of Daniel in the lion's den with closed eye lids
Referencing another story in the Bible

You'll never know, you'll never know
Repeating the sentiment from earlier

Yo, yo, here (you don't know, that I really love you)
Ending the song by repeating the sentiment from earlier
