Careful
Wu-Tang Clan Lyrics

Wait, hold up, chill, what's that, son?
Pause and pay attention to what is happening around you.

Damn nigga got fucked, shit, huh
Someone got hurt or killed.

By his back, watch nigga run
Someone got attacked from behind and the attacker is escaping.

Seven the center of your eight point Sun
The number seven is important in the Wu-Tang Clan's philosophy.

Hold tight grip on the God-U now, you best be careful!
Be aware of your surroundings and stay safe.

Can't dodge two self, h'es aimed at your dome piece
You cannot escape from yourself and your own thoughts.

Father-U-C-King police!
The police are corrupt and cannot be trusted.

Something in the slum went rum-pum-pum-pum
There is a disturbance or commotion in the poor neighborhood.

Yo, Rae it's been a long time son since we bust gun
It has been a while since they have been involved in violent activity.

Clap glaciers, ran the world and snatched paper
They have achieved great success and made a lot of money.

Return to the 36th Chamber
A reference to the Wu-Tang Clan's debut album.

Proceed with caution as you enter
Be careful and aware of your surroundings.

We have an A.P.B. on an MC Killer
Someone is targeting and killing other rappers.

Looks like the work of a master
The killings are done skillfully and intentionally.

Yo something in the street went, bang bang
There is sudden and violent activity in the street.

Making it hard for you to do your thang thang
The commotion is making it difficult to continue with one's activities.

Up in the boss game wilding, money for grabs
They are competing in a high stakes competition for money.

I ain't fucking with crabs, out of state copped two labs
They are not messing around with low level competitors, and have acquired two laboratories out of state.

Hopped two cabs, back on the Ave
They have returned to their old neighborhood, but in a more successful position.

Stab you with the vocab, catch me at the big dough rehab
They have a powerful way with words and are focused on making money.

Tryna re-up, keep my feet up
They are trying to make more money while enjoying their success.

Snake niggas in the cut, hold the product
They are facing competition and are protecting their valuable goods.

Time is up, no luck, heat start to bust
They are facing a deadline and things are becoming tense and violent.

Niggas you can't trust, dealing with lust
They cannot trust other people in their line of work and are preoccupied with making money.

Seen him at the ballgames with James
They have seen their competitors rubbing elbows with famous people.

Something in the hall went, click click
A sudden sound was heard in the hallway.

The boxcutter went, click click
Someone is handling a dangerous weapon.

These are the bones, bones from the grave of Houdini
These are valuable and rare objects associated with a famous person.

G-Deini, Ronzoni noodles sprinkled on your embry'
A reference to GZA, and possibly his potent lyrics.

Climb like the deficit, profits, death threats
The stakes are high, and there is a lot of money and danger involved.

To Israel slid through Bethlehem bong on one wheel
A reference to RZA's travels and experiences.

Syringes, rubber bands, needles, the 60's
References to drug use and addiction.

Granddaddy Caddy was copping 6 G's
They are spending a lot of money on luxurious items.

B'gosh all that Oshkosh jumpers
They are mocking people who are not as fashionable or wealthy as they are.

Pink Champelle, brown paper bags, wall to wall bumpers
They are drinking expensive champagne and surrounded by luxury.

These ain't the camera guys, cause terror in your eyes
They are violent and intimidating.

Sweat on the hammer fly, Ways of the Samurai
They are skilled in violence and weaponry.

Newsflash bulletin, Gods on the prowl
They are on the hunt for something.

We full again, ruff men scuff Timbs
They are back in their old neighborhood and encountering old acquaintances.

Sonic bionic lens, RZA console
References to RZA's unique creative processes.

Is it Bush or the Dole, front row of the Superbowl
They are in a position of power and influence.

Black gold in my soul, on a ho stroll
They are preoccupied with making money, often in illegal or immoral ways.

Don't go boy you on parole you don't know?
They are warning someone who is on parole to be careful.

Someone in the back went, clack clack
A gun was fired from somewhere behind them.

Money is stacked, now bust your gun, clack clack
There is money to be made, but it requires violence and aggression.

Made 'em throw they hands up but then lay flat
They have overpowered someone and forced them to surrender.

Rat pack eat up, the average alley cat
They are more powerful and successful than their competitors.

Prepare for the impact when we contact
They are warning others to be ready when they encounter them.

Known to drop facts that crack your hard hat
Their words and ideas can be powerful and influential.

Must I show and prove, trust I, bust I
They are proving themselves to be capable and powerful.

Make your head spin like chrome 20's on the buggy-I Benz
Their words and ideas are impressive, like shiny car wheels.

Who contends, Wu like the Superfriends
The Wu-Tang Clan is a powerful and united group.

Who's your rhyming hero? Wu-Tang rules again
They are asserting their dominance as the best in the rap game.

Something in the hole went click click
A weapon was loaded or primed to be used.

The boxcutter went click click
Someone is handling a dangerous weapon.

Something in the slum went rum-pum-pum-pum
