[Intro: RZA (Remedy)]
Yo, yo, yo..
BOODOODOODOODOODOO
Yo, yo, yo, yo..
(Block 'em)
'Bout to give y'all the Remedy for ya sickness
My nigga Remedy's the ones we choose son
Let 'em go, yo..
+Spazzola+, yo..
[Remedy]
Yo, eh-yo, fuck that, the Remedy'll counter-attack
I throw the match on ya hate-stack, actual fact
My life's a trial, government name is on file
B-LOAW! We came outta exile, for miles
I see past the immediate and gaze on the ultimate
Conquered it, Wu affiliate and proud conglomerate
My pen hates all y'all fake rap infiltrates
Terminates, back with a force like angry inmates
We kill tracks East to West, Barracks and back
Pillagin with the Cap, we mix white with black
Concotin the Shaolin deadly toxin
Return of the Killa Bee Swarm in Chessboxin
[Chorus x4: Remedy]
Reuven Ben Menachum, block 'em, block 'em
[Remedy]
+Never Again+, +Never Again+, it's us against them
Uh, peace to Yad Vashem
Now +I Declare War+ on MC's, a rush to the forearm
We form the figure-four and broad-arm
Sulfur solution, Rem-D, six-hundred proofin
Jump into the booth, let off my contribution
Freeze ya, leave ya mouth cotton
Kill you in ya sleep with the seizure
Have you for forgotten?
Fatigue ya, Rem-D spoil ya plans rotten
Leave ya wit amnesia, ya can't hold steady
It's too heavy to you, ain't ready
Reuven Ben Menachum, we +Calm But Deadly+
Block 'em!
[Chorus x4]
[Remedy]
Any time in this presence
I strike an image that bears resemblance
No questions, sixty-six new lessons
Rules of engagement, snake fucks fall to the pavement
These fake fucks suck life through mental enslavement
God once told me, "Get to know me, behold me"
Created me in the image of he
Now it's evident, disinfect your regiment
The sediment, Remedy, twenty-first century
The fruit of justice is peace, lust destroyed by the beast
Kosher pa reave, the +12 Jewel+ feast
My life ain't complete, no surrender, no retreat
Long walks, hot sand and bare feet
Now we're ageless and timeless, ya hopes are mindless
Rewind this, eighty-fives stay stuck in the blindness
Swallow me, fight for equality
Follow me, Remedy, born child prodigy
[Chorus x4]
