Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Off the datas, for, my father gonna get home by now
And Uncle Justice, we gotta hurry up
Do this video, Wu-Tang
Yo, I block the bronze, the Kid Golden Arms
I tear by shorty, with the Iron Palm of Dragon Breath
Burn through your body, you see about
Scratchin' the trashboard, lost laws
Of Dragon Breath, is like an Iron fire

I'm a snake cat from way back, that'll snap on y'all eenie
'Cause y'all too wack, and plus I need a snack
This is a dangerous fact, so step back
Before I pull a whole clip in my
Be in subzero, my ice power go like a river
My nigga Tero, I'm all set, with my ice power
Niggaz don't mess with me, I'm the Assassin
AS to a S, AS, IN, you can't mess with me
My praying mantis is deadly, my praying mantis is poisonous
It goes through your bloodstream
It goes through your bloodstream
Everybody go through they bloodstream
My praying mantis is deadly, you end up in a hospital
You better shut up, before I put one
In your praying mantis, man
The above lyrics are from a song called "The Future" by Shamel Kareem & Jamel. The first few lines of the song mention Wu-Tang Clan, a legendary rap group. The lyrics then go on to describe the singer's prowess in martial arts, referring to themselves as "Kid Golden Arms" and having an "Iron Palm of Dragon Breath" that can burn through someone's body. They also mention scratching the table and trashboard, which could refer to scratching on turntables while DJing.
The next part of the lyrics mentions being a "snake cat" who will "snap" on others, indicating a dangerous and aggressive attitude. The mention of "ice power" and a friend named Tero suggests a possible connection to the video game series Mortal Kombat, which features a character named Sub-Zero with ice powers. The singer claims to be an assassin and warns others not to mess with them, suggesting they are someone to be feared.
The final lines about the praying mantis are cryptic but suggest that the singer has a deadly or poisonous skill that can enter someone's bloodstream. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who is skilled in combat and should not be underestimated.
