Shame On a Nuh
Wu-Tang Clan Raekwon Ol' Dirty Bastard Method Man Lyrics

Shame on a nuh who try to run game on a nuh
I condemn those who play tricks on others who cannot be fooled.

Wu buck wild with the trigger
Members of Wu-Tang are capable of sudden, unpredictable, potentially violent or dangerous behavior.

Ol' Dirty Bast, cut
As a member of Wu-Tang, Ol' Dirty Bastard is one of the gang and is an expert in the techniques and skills taught within the group.

Styles unbreakable, shatterproof
Our skills are not easy to replicate and our crew is solid, and we can take on any challenge or difficulty without fracturing.

To the young youth, ya wanna get gun? Shoot
To the youngsters, if you're attracted to guns and looking to demonstrate that attraction, consider putting that energy towards practice and improvement so you can ultimately be a great shooter.

Blaow, how you like me now? Don't front the style
How do you feel knowing I am accomplishing what I said I would? Don't pretend your style is better than mine.

Ruthless wild
We all have the potential to be extremely savage or powerful if we need to respond in that way.

Do ya wanna getcha teeth knocked on out?
Would you like me to teach you a lesson and hit you in the mouth?

Brother, get on it like that, then shout
If you're really ready to take on this challenge, let me see you put your actions where your mouth is.

The damage, my clan, understand, it be flavor
Our effects upon the community, my group in particular, should be viewed as positive and appreciated.

Gunning, humming, coming atcha
We're moving towards you quickly, and we're ready to take you down.

First I'm gonna getcha, once I gotcha, I gatcha
I'll make sure I catch you effectively if I can manage to get you at all.

You could never capture the Method Man's stature
It's impossible to replicate the kind of standing that Method Man holds.

For rhyme and for rapture, got niggaz resigning
My lyrics are so captivating that it's not unusual to see people giving up or giving in.

Now master my style? Never
Even those who try to copy my style will never be able to master it.

I put the buck in the wild kid, I'm terror
I'm the type of person who causes disruptions and fear, and that's especially clear when I'm wild and daredevil-like.

Razor sharp, I sever the head from the shoulders
I'm so sharp and efficient that I can quickly separate the head from the shoulders.

I'm better than my compeda
I'm more talented or skilled than my competitors.

You mean competitor, whadeva, let's get together
I don't really care what you might mean by that, just know we need to all work together.

Yo, I come with that ol' loco
I'm bringing my unique brand of flair or attitude.

Style from my vocal
I'm demonstrating my style through my spoken words.

Couldn't peep it with a pair of bifocals
Even if you were trying to observe and judge my style, it would be difficult or impossible to do so.

I'm no joker, play me as a joke
Don't make the mistake of underestimating me.

I be on you like a house on fire, smoke ya
I'll be on you immediately and powerfully and you'll never get a chance to get away.

Crews be acting like they gangs, anyway
Various groups of people are pretending to be affiliated with gangs anyway, whether they really are or aren't.

Be like, 'Warriors, come out and play?
Evoking a famous movie line from 'The Warriors'.

Hurry, I getting it on, I let it out like diarrhea
I'm quickly and eagerly bringing out my skills, and they might just bowl you over.

Got burnt once but that was only gonorrhea
I faced an earlier ordeal, but it was ultimately not that bad.

Dirty, I keeps the 'nuff stains my drawers
I'm not exactly known for my cleanliness or fastidiousness.

So I can get Fizzy funky for yuh
So I can let it all hang out and perform my best for those watching.

Murder, takes the fame of the Wu-Tang
Wu-Tang has a high mortality rate, but this also increases their fame and acclaim.

Here comes the Tiger verse Crane
I'm invoking a martial arts imagery and distinction that Yang Jwing-Ming describes in his book 'The Root of Chinese Qigong'.

Ow, be like wild with my style
I'm leaving my style open to interpretation, and I'm going to be especially uncontrolled or energetic.

Punk, you playing me, chump? You get dumped
If you're disrespecting me or trying to trick me, you're just asking to be discarded.

Wu is coming through at a theater near you
Wu-Tang is making its presence felt all over, similar to the advertisement for movie productions.

And get funk like a shoe, what?
Expect lots of energy, lots of surprises, and lots of fun.
