Triumph
Wu-Tang and El Michels Affair Lyrics

What y'all thought y'all wasn't gon' see me?
Did you really think you wouldn't see me again?

I'm the Osirus of this shit
I am the powerful leader and ruler of this music

Wu-Tang is here forever, motherfuckers
Wu-Tang will always be here, no matter what

It's like this ninety-seven
This is how it is in 1997

Aight my niggas and my niggarettes
Alright my friends and ladies

Let's do it like this
Let's handle it in this manner

I'ma rub your ass in the moonshine
I'm going to expose and embarrass you

Let's take it back to seventy-nine
Let's go back to the year 1979

I bomb atomically, Socrates' philosophies
I lyrically explode with great force, like an atomic bomb, presenting deep philosophical ideas like Socrates

And hypotheses can't define how I be droppin' these
No theories or explanations can fully capture the way I deliver my rhymes

Mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
I metaphorically rob and steal attention with my powerful lyrics

Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
I escape with great success, and maybe people have noticed my talent

Battle-scarred shogun, explosion when my pen hits
I am a warrior with wounds from battles, and when I write, it's like an explosion

Tremendous, ultra-violet shine blind forensics
My brilliance and intensity are so bright that it blinds the experts

I inspect view through the future see millennium
I have the ability to see into the future, even beyond the current millennium

Killa Beez sold fifty gold sixty platinum
The Wu-Tang Clan has sold fifty gold records and sixty platinum records

Shackling the masses with drastic rap tactics
We captivate and control the masses with our powerful rap strategies

Graphic displays melt the steel like blacksmiths
Our vivid and intense performances can melt even the strongest, like blacksmiths melting steel

Black Wu jackets Queen Beez ease the guns in
We, the Wu-Tang Clan, smoothly bring guns into the scene with our black jackets, and the Queen Beez (female members) also contribute

Rumblin' patrolmen tear gas laced the function
Police officers cause chaos and confusion by releasing tear gas during a gathering

Heads by the score take flight incite a war
Many people flee and provoke a war

Chicks hit the floor, die hard fans demand more
Female fans get excited and fall to the floor, demanding more from us

Behold the bold soldier, control the globe slowly
Witness the confident soldier who has power and influence over the world, gradually gaining control

Proceeds to blow swingin' swords like Shinobi
Continues to skillfully and powerfully attack with swords like a ninja

Stomp grounds I pound footprints in solid rock
I leave a lasting impact and evidence of my presence in the music industry

Wu got it locked, performin' live on your hottest block
The Wu-Tang Clan has a strong grip on the industry and will perform live in the most popular neighborhoods

As the world turns, I spread like germs
As time passes, I continue to spread and have a strong influence like germs

Bless the globe with the pestilence, the hard-headed never learn
I bring a plague to the world, but stubborn people never seem to learn

It's my testament to those burned
This is my way of expressing my thoughts and experiences to those who have suffered

Play my position in the game of life, standing firm
I know my role and stay strong in the game of life

On foreign land, jump the gun out the frying pan, into the fire
In unfamiliar territory, we act hastily and without thinking, getting ourselves in more trouble

Transform into the Ghostrider, or Six Pack
I become a supernatural being, like the Ghostrider, or a powerful force, like a Six Pack

In A Streetcar Named Desire, who got my back?
In a difficult situation, like in the play 'A Streetcar Named Desire', who will support and protect me?

In the line of fire holding back, what?
Facing danger and holding back, what am I doing?

My peoples if you with me where the fuck you at?
My friends, if you're supporting me, where are you?

Niggas is strapped, and they trying to twist my beer cap
People are armed and trying to harm me

It's court adjourned, for the bad seed from bad sperm
The court has concluded the case of the troubled person with a bad origin

Herb got my wig fried like a bad perm, what the blood
Marijuana has caused my mind to become heavily influenced, like a bad perm, what the hell

Clot, we smoke pot, and blow spots
We smoke marijuana, get high, and destroy places

You want to think twice, I think not
If you're considering challenging me, you better think again because I won't back down

The Iron Lung ain't got ta tell you where it's coming from
You already know where the powerful attack is coming from, like an Iron Lung

Guns of Navarone, tearing up your battle zone
Powerful weapons, like the Guns of Navarone, are causing chaos in your fighting area

Rip through your slums
We penetrate and destroy your dilapidated neighborhoods

I twist darts from the heart, tried and true
I skillfully create powerful lyrics from the depths of my soul, and they are genuine and proven

Loot my voice on the LP, my team is on to slang rocks
Value and profit from my voice on the record, and my team is also involved in illegal activities

Certified chatterbox, vocabulary 'Donna talking
I am officially a talkative person, with a wide-ranging vocabulary

Tell your story walking
I don't have time to listen to your story, so keep walking

Take cover kid, what? Run for your brother, kid
Protect yourself, and run to help your brother

Run for your team, and your six camp rhyme groupies
Run to support your team and the groupies who follow and love our rhymes

So I can squeeze with the advantage, and get wasted
So I can take advantage of the situation, and get intoxicated

My deadly notes reigns supreme
My powerful and deadly lyrics are superior

Your fort is basic compared to mine
Your defense is weak compared to mine

Domino effect, arts and crafts
A chain reaction of events, like dominoes falling, artistic and creative skills

Paragraphs contain cyanide
My written words are poisonous and harmful

Take a free ride on my thought, I got the fashion
Experience and explore my thoughts freely, I have the style and trendiness

Catalogs for all y'all to all praise to the Gods
I have a collection of creations for all of you to admire and worship the Gods

The saga continues
The story and journey continues

Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang
The powerful Wu-Tang Clan

Olympic torch flaming, we burn so sweet
We burn with intensity, like an Olympic torch

The thrill of victory, the agony, defeat
The excitement of winning, and the pain and disappointment of losing

We crush slow, flaming deluxe slow
We slowly and powerfully crush our enemies

For, judgment day come'th, conquer, it's war
The day of reckoning is approaching, we will conquer, and it's a war

Allow us to escape, hell glow spinning bomb
Let us find a way to escape the glowing and dangerous chaos

Pocket full of shells out the sky, Golden Arms
I have a pocket full of bullet shells falling from the sky, representing my powerful and skilled arms

Tune spit the shit immortal combat sound
My rhyme delivery spits powerful and immortal combat sounds

The fake false step make, the blood stain the ground
If you make a fake and false move, your blood will be spilled on the ground

An axe killer adventure, paint a picture well
An exciting and thrilling adventure like a serial killer with an axe, skillfully creating a vivid picture

I sing a song from Sing-Sing, sippin' on ginseng
I sing a song from a prison called Sing-Sing, while calmly drinking ginseng

Righteous wax chaperon, rotating ring king
I am a righteous person who escorts and protects sacred music, like a king with rotating rings

Watch for the wooden soldiers, see-cypher punks couldn't hold us
Be on the lookout for the weak and ineffective soldiers, as even a group of punks couldn't defeat us

A thousand men rushing in, not one nigga was sober
A large group of men charging in, and not a single one was sober

Perpendicular to the square, we stand bold like Flare
We stand confidently, forming a right angle to the square, shining brightly like a flare

Escape from your Dragon's Lair, in particular
We get away from your dangerous trap, specifically designed for us

Causing a state of emergency and chaos, like Grand Central Station

Program fat baselines, on Novation
Create and control powerful basslines using Novation technology

Getting drunk like a fuck I'm duckin' five-year probation
I'm getting heavily intoxicated, avoiding and evading a five-year probation period

A war that involves many people, with a disastrous outcome

Many of the victim family save they ashes
The families of many victims are left with nothing but their ashes

A million names on walls engraved in plaques
A million names written on walls as a memorial

Those who went back, received penalties for their acts
Those who returned to their previous lives faced punishments for their actions

Another heart is torn, as close ones gone
Another person's heart is broken as loved ones are lost

Those who stray, niggas get slayed on the song
