Rock Steady
U.S. Army Airborne Lyrics

Give me all Gucci colors, my niggaz get real for brothers
We want everything luxurious and we'll protect our fellow gang members

We idolize big lines and nines
We admire and use big guns and drugs

Jumping out of big joints live, projects
We're not afraid of confrontation and are ready to act in dangerous situations

Lot of objects, front if you want, you gon' die
We have many weapons and if you try to go against us, you will lose your life

Lex with a sawed off, Killa gonna tax him in the Waldorff
We have a luxurious car with a sawed-off shotgun and will rob anyone who tries to mess with us at the Waldorf Hotel

All bloodhounds, pop, show it off
We are alert and quick to pull out our guns to showcase our power

Actin' like that money ain't live
Don't underestimate our wealth and success

Built it from the getty-up, New York City gonna fry
We started with nothing and worked hard to succeed in New York City's tough environment

Aiyo, son, I take mines, rape lines
I take what's rightfully mine and I will lyrically destroy anyone who crosses me

Yeah, I'm realer than Riker's who orchestrate great crimes
I'm more authentic and skilled than the criminals associated with the infamous Riker's Island prison

Jump out the Lex', lookin' zesty, real Nestle
I'm confident and fashionable, like the Nestle brand, when I step out of my Lexus car

What, picture nigga, except bless me
Do you recognize the greatness in front of you?

God, I'm high-powered, gun of the hour, crafted Flowers
I'm influential, my gun is my power, and I create beautiful things like flowers

Give it the blend, double it, and blow like the Towers
We will combine our strengths, amplify them, and succeed like the Twin Towers (which were still standing at the time of this song's release)

All ya'll need to take showers, can't take what's ours, pa..
You need to clean up your act and can't steal what belongs to us

Been sellin' crack, been sellin' crack
We have been selling drugs

Been sellin' crack, livin' the black
We have been selling drugs and living the dangerous life associated with black communities

Revealin' how we flip that, strip cats
We're showing how we turn a profit from selling drugs and robbing people

We write rich raps
Our lyrics are powerful and valuable

Help out the body, me, similar to the Gotti
I'm like the infamous mob boss Gotti in providing support for my gang's body and well-being

Story, I'm kinda young, son, a fly forty
I'm still young but I'm mature and stylish

The Reverend cold shittin' on shorty, did it to shorty pop
I humiliated and dominated a younger person and set an example for other gang members

Remember this sayin': "Staten Island Gun Slayers"
Don't forget our group's intimidating name

It's mayors, all gauges, minimum wage the raises..
We're in charge, we have all types of guns, and we control the profit margins

...up the Rock..
We climb up the ranks to establish our power

Niggaz be killin' me, actin' like they ain't feelin' me
I'm frustrated with people who don't show me respect despite my success

Knowin' they bustin' them guns with my artillery
I know others are using my weapons to commit crimes without my knowledge or control

Usin' my words as if it's his and hers
Other musicians steal my lyrics and pass them off as their own

That's that shit that make me not want to pass the herb
It's frustrating and makes me not want to share my drugs with them

The fake artist, I'm coming Razor Sharp regardless
I will always be authentic and sharp in my performance, despite others stealing my style

I bump lah, sowed of liquor, light and spark
I enjoy smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol, which inspires my creativity

Make it crunk live, the dirty dirty try and serve me
I'll energize the crowd and outperform anyone from the dirty south (referencing Atlanta)

Like black folks in scary movies: you die early
We face heightened danger and are more likely to die in violent confrontations because of our race and lifestyle

Tony Toca, Meth Tical, vida loca
We're living life on the wild side, like Tony Touch and Method Man

Esta loca, if she think I eat the chocha
She's crazy if she thinks I'm going to eat her out

Ma, toss the, smoke ya, win free (Winfrey) like Oprah
Pass me the marijuana, let's smoke it together, and feel as happy as Oprah's audience

And un-hoast that roast, your meat, for the butcher
Stop being so uptight and let loose for the sake of enjoyment

Licky lost ya, don't even come a step closer
If you're not with us, stay away

When I approach a track, I slam like my culture
I make an impact on music and culture with my powerful style and delivery

Chill with the feedback, black, we don't need that
Stop talking negatively, we don't want to hear it

GZA told you it's a "Cold World", where ya heat at?..
Our member GZA warned you that the world can be harsh and unforgiving, so where's your protection?

...up the Rock..
We climb up the ranks to establish our power

Hots on the shit, just so we can lock horns
We are on the lookout for opportunities to assert ourselves and compete with others

Throw a package in the streets, get the block warm
We'll create a buzz and attract attention to our drugs

Something happens when we meet, hit the block strong
We make an impact when we're together and we're ready to confront anyone who challenges us

Get it poppin' in your face, taste the popcorn
We'll engage in violent conflict if necessary and you won't be able to ignore us

Now that we back on track, can't lose
We are focused and successful, and won't let anything derail us

My back gets huge, bitches Moulin Rouge
I'm strong and successful, and women are attracted to my seductive power, like the Moulin Rouge cabaret

The way I move, the Cadillac, so smooth
I'm confident and smooth in my demeanor, like a luxurious Cadillac car

Battle rap improve shit, light the fuse
My rap skills keep getting better and I'm ready to start some heat

Bruised off the booze liquor, doozy kicker
I've been drinking and it's affecting me, but I'm still strong and skilled

The dynamite style, shinin' lights still flicker
My powerful style and persona continue to make an impact and shine brightly

Wu-Tang stickers is a nuclear reaction
Our group's emblem is powerful and has a huge impact

Tony Touch scratch the table, RZA on the back end
Tony Touch is scratching the turntable while RZA is working on the production behind the scenes

Pure, the talent, yes, yours truly
Our talent is raw and authentic, especially mine

The brand combination of jazz, class and beauty
Our music and brand have a unique and beautiful mix of sophistication and style

Here to do my duty, up another notch
I'm here to make an impact and raise our success even more

The gospel according to rap is mega watts
Our music and message have a huge and powerful impact

Agenda never stop, dead center, mega hot
We're always on the move and focused on our goals, and we're incredibly skilled and successful

Go mop it up, go cop it when it drops..
Clean up your act and get ready to buy our new release when it comes out

...up the Rock..
We climb up the ranks to establish our power

Haha, they coming over here..
We're ready for anyone who wants to challenge us
