Never Again
RZA presents Wu-Tang Killa Bees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel this,
To all those races, colors, and creeds, every man bleeds for the
Countless victims and all their families of
The murdered, tortured and slaved, raped, robbed and persecuted
Never again, to the men, women, and children.
Who died in their struggle to survive, never to be forgotten.
Reuven ben menachum, yo
Yo my own blood, dragged through the mud
Perished in my heart still cherished and loved
Stripped of our pride, everything we lived for
Families cried, there's no where to run to, no where to hide
Tossed to the side, access denied
Six million died for what? Yo a man shot dead in his back
Helpless women and children under constant attack
For no reason, till the next season, and we still bleeding
Yo it's freezing, and men burn in hell, some for squeezing
No hope for a remedy, nothing to believe
Moving targets who walk with the star in their sleeve
Forever marked wit a number, tattooed to your body
Late night, eyes closed, clutched to my shotty
Having visions, flashes of death camps and prisons, no provisions
Deceived by the devils decisions, forced into a slave
Death before dishonor for those men who were brave
Shot and sent to their grave, can't awaken, it's too late
Everything's been taken, I'm shaken, family, history, the making

[Chorus]
Never again shall we march like sheep to the slaughter
Never again shall we sit and take orders
Stripped of our culture, robbed of our name
Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames
Forced from our families, taken from our homes
Moved from our god then burned of our bones
Never again, never again, shall we march like sheep to the slaughter
Leave our sons and daughters, stripped of our culture
Robbed of our name
Raped of our freedom and thrown into the flames
Forced from our families, taken from our homes
Moved from our god and everything we own

Some fled through the rumors of wars
But most left were dead, few escaped to the shores
With just one loaf of bread, banished, hold in for questioning
And vanished, never to be seen again, I can't express the pain
That was felt in the train to Auschwitz, tears poured down like rain
Naked face to face, with the master race, hatred blood and David
My heart belongs to God and stay sacred
Rabbi's and priests, disabled individuals
The poor, the scholars all labeled common criminals
Mass extermination, total annihilation
Shipped into the ghetto and prepared for liquidation
Tortured and starved, innocent experiments
Stripped down and carved up or gassed to death
The last hour, I smelled the flowers
Flashbacks of family then sent to the showers
Powerless undressed, women with babies clumped tight to their chest
Crying, who would've guessed, dying, another life lost
Count the cost, another body gas burned and tossed in the holocaust

[Chorus]

Never again, never again




The final solution is now retribution
Remedy, Wu-Tang

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Never Again" by RZA presents Wu-Tang Killa Bees depict the horrors experienced by Jews during the Holocaust. The song begins with a universal message that regardless of race, color, or creed, every individual deserves dignity, and nobody should undergo persecution, torture, slavery, murder, rape, or robbery. The lyrics express an intense pain that the Jewish community has experienced, with one verse referencing Reuven ben menachum, who could be a victim of the Holocaust. RZA then speaks like he has lost someone special to himโ€”his "own blood"โ€”that was "dragged through the mud." To him, that person is still cherished and loved, and their death was not justified. Six million Jews were killed, and yet there was no reason for it. It's freezing, and men are burning in hell. RZA then goes on to describe the ghastly living conditions that Jews in concentration camps faced and how those who were brave and refused to accept slavery lost their lives.


The chorus epitomizes the pain, agony, and helplessness of the Jewish community and promises never to let such destruction happen again. It promises that the Jewish community will not "march like sheep to the slaughter, sit and take orders, be stripped of culture, robbed of name, raped of freedom, and thrown into flames." The community will never again be forced from families and homes, moved from God, and burned to a crisp.

In the last hour, I smelled the flowers and had flashbacks of my family. Then, I was sent to the showers, powerless and undressed.

Another body was burned and tossed into the Holocaust.

We will never allow this to happen again. The final solution is now retribution, and the Wu-Tang clan is the remedy we need.
