Wu-Tang Clan Lyrics

You will be punished (Wu-Tang style)
The wicked deeds of wrongdoers shall be punished with a unique Wu-Tang flavor.

for all your evil deeds. (Wu-Tang style)
All the bad deeds shall be dealt with Wu-Tang style, a different and powerful kind of vengeance.

Be warned - you will suffer.. (Wu-Tang style)
Wrongdoers must get ready to face the consequences of their evil actions, administered Wu-Tang style, a one-of-a-kind punishment.

.. justice! (Wu-Tang style)
Justice shall prevail, the Wu-Tang way! A unique and remarkable way of serving justice.

Slept on this hazardous enterprise
We underestimated the potential danger of our mission,

Hit from the back, from a long range attack in disguise
The enemies attacked us from behind, launching distant disguised attacks on us.

Week self-captivity became months
We were hostage for months because of our weakness.

Those who were holdin it down they hold a pump
The people controlling the area have weapons to defend it.

Do we delay the conflict and prolong the suffer?
Should we avoid the fight to maintain peace, or fight back to stop the suffering?

Got a mass of starvin niggaz want to eat supper
Poor people are hungry and begging for food.

Unfair corruptions lead to abductions
Injustices result in people being kidnapped.

Creatin wider circles of destructions
The damages, caused by the effects of injustice, spread and affect more people.

So we attack, with the pen and blaze in
We respond to the injustice with powerful lyrics and music.

From the terrifyin to the fascinating
Our music and lyrics move from scary or intimidating to enjoyable and fascinating.

Quick to slay a narrow minded nigga that's hasty to give credit
We are quick to criticize a person who is narrow-minded and too quick to give undue credit.

Full of hostile overtones mixed with wack edits
People's work is full of insults, harsh comments, and poorly done edits.

They heavily defended airfields
The enemy guarded and protected their airfields securely.

But they bodies rot behind punctured steels
But their dead bodies decay behind the perforated metal shells of the aircraft.

When I greeted you, you didn't hear a piece of my voice?
When I said 'Hello' you ignored me and did not hear my voice.

Oh that water was my liquid of choice
Water is my chosen drink.

Forensic couldn't tell it, it was nine tons of steel pellet
Forensic experts could not identify the weapon used to kill as it was made of steel pellets weighing nine tons.

Powerful projection, noise is deafening
The sound system is incredibly loud and powerful.

Carrier battle groups, that's threatening
A group of military transports with weapons is a powerful threat.

Higher level bombing, plus
High-level bombing, and...

The shipment in hand known as alarming, bells ring loud
The goods taken away are stolen and may cause trouble, and the alarms are ringing loudly.

In the same crucial manner but different style
We approach this matter similarly but with a different method.

(Wu-Tang style, Wu-Tang style!)
The music, approach, or behavior used is unique to the Wu-Tang Clan.

Aiyyo once again, all blunts again
Once more, we are smoking marijuana again and again.

Yo the real remain silent, any type of violence I'm in
The honest and genuine keeps quiet, while we take action against all sorts of violence.

Allah's helpful most, innovative raps
We call upon the help of Allah for the most innovative raps.

that brought wealth through, shot out the belch too
Our music has brought us riches, but we still remain humble and down-to-earth.

We holdin, automatic semis with sick lines
We are keeping automatic guns with bars of music lyrics that are so great.

Run up, body niggaz, break down shoddy niggaz
We run up, and kill, destroy shameful people.

Styles so sharp, state of the art
Our music style is top-notch and unique.

Greater the mark, flyest creator sprayed layin darts
Masterpieces can be maimed quickly by criticisms, comments, or edits by lesser skilled people.

Flowin like water, 'Apocalypse Now'
We flow smoothly like water in the famous movie, 'Apocalypse Now.'

Gun out blaow, wow the shit's wild when you short us
We shoot guns frequently, and it's pretty dangerous to try and mess with us.

Runnin through parkin lots, don't get caught
We roam around and run in parking lots but don't get caught by anyone.

Let off, bark your shots, we outta here, off the blocks
Let the gunshots ring out, and we flee the scene to avoid detection.

It ain't all to the good, muh'fuckers hatin in the hood
Things are not okay, people in the neighborhood hate and judge each other.

Gotta a hundred wolves waitin in the woods
There are many people waiting in the woods to begin their attack.

for the Clan's forthcomin
They are waiting for the Wu-Tang Clan to arrive.

I miss you in the game a court summons
I need you in the game like a court subpoena.

And fugitives of rap caught runnin, why'all get locked up
Keep running from your rap that brings trouble and you get arrested.

E'rything was wack 'til we popped up
Everything was boring and bad, but then we came and added color and excitement to it.

And got it on and poppin like Orville Reddenbacher
And we made it lively, like Orville Redenbacher popcorn.

Potnah, you ain't got no wins in mi casa
You have no advantage in my house or with me, buddy.

Wu-Tang got ya, like every ghetto got a Tasha
Wu-Tang has you covered just like any hood has someone to protect it, like Tasha.

Request lines are now open, you see these MC's chokin
We've opened the request lines, and we can see other rappers struggling and choking under pressure.

and thinkin, "What's that SHIT they be smokin?"
We imagine the other rappers wondering what kind of bad weed we are smoking.

I'm so focused, simple chronic halitosis
I am so focused, with a simple case of bad breath.

Keep my shit funky when I spit this braggadocious
I keep my music funky while bragging strongly about my accomplishments.

{*hach, spit*} why'all niggaz got some fuckin nerve
[Sound of spitting] You guys have a lot of nerve or gall.

to critic what I write, that's my muh'fuckin word
You have no right to criticize my writing; I swear to it!

Blah blah blah, like N'Sync
Your talking is boring or insignificant, like N'Sync songs.

Kiss that ass "Bye Bye Bye" knahmsayin?
Dismiss yourself or your comments with 'Bye, Bye, Bye!'

I ain't playin
I am not joking or kidding.

Many shall come, few chose to stay exact
A lot of people will come, but only a few will remain true to their word.

Track after track I'm fightin for survival
I'm fighting to succeed or survive with every song I make.

Before me I see hills and mountains they sway
The obstacles I face feel massive and imposing, but I will prevail.

The words gotta move and the crowd's like the ocean
The lyrics I make must move to get a response from the fans, much like the waves in the ocean.

I walk water holdin why'all suspended with the vocal
I am walking on the water and am lifting all of you up with my singing voice.

What's the total people that came to see the Gods?
How many people have come to see us, as if they are here to see gods?

I gave thought talent, construct my best poetry
I put a lot of thought and effort into constructing and delivering my very best poetry.

Potentcy, high-level content
Strong and effective, with top-level content.

Side effect may cause a tec to eject, many places
The side effect might cause my weapon to discharge, in many different locations.

All ages streets to cages, split faces
The split faces youths or adults can cause fights in the streets or land people in jail.

Shoutin nuff love to the peeps from Miami
An expression of love and affection to the folks from Miami.

We live from Pulaski and spread glassy
We are recording from Pulaski and spreading a clear sound.

{*cut and scratch: "Wu-Tang style"*}
[Sound effects of scratching] Adding the signature Wu-Tang style sound to our music.
