Genius And Gza Liquid Swords Lyrics

Liquid Swords Lyrics

Intro One: (not included on 7")  

  

 When I was little... my father was famous.  

 He was the greatest sam-urai in the empire;  

 and he was the Shogun's decapitator.  

 He cut off the heads of a hundred and thirty-one lords.  

 It was a bad time for the empire.  

 The Shogun just stayed inside his castle -- and he never came out.  

 People said his brain was infected by DEVILS.  

 My father would come home -- he would forget about the killings.  

 He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him.  

 Maybe that was the problem.  

 Then, one night... the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house.  

 They were supposed to kill my father... but they didn't.  

 *woman screams*  

 That was the night everything changed *voice fades*  

  

 Intro Two: RZA  

  

 See, sometimes...  

 You gotta flash em back  

 See niggaz don't know where this shit started  

 Y'all know where it came from  

 I'm sayin we gonna take y'all back to the swords  

 We bounce, yo  

  

 Chorus: RZA, GZA  

  

 When the MC's came, to live our their name  

 And to perform (forrrrm)  

 Some had, to snort cocaine (caiiinnne) to act insane (sannne)  

 with before Pete Rock-ed it on, now gone  

 that the mental plane (plaaanne) to spark the brain (brainnn)  

 with the building to be born  

 Yo RZA flip the track with the what to guy  

 Check em check chicka icka etta UHH  

  

 Verse One:  

  

 Fake niggaz get blitzed  

 and mic bites I swing swords and cut clowns  

 Shit is too swift to bite you record and write it down  

 I flow like the blood on a murder scene, like a syringe  

 on some loud howl shit, to insert a fiend  

 But it was yo ock, the shop stolen heart  

 Catch a swollen heart from not rollin smart  

 I put mad pressure, on phony wack rhymes that get hurt  

 Shit's played, like zodiac signs on sweatshirt  

 That's minimum, and feminine like sandals  

 My minimum table stacks a verse on a gamble  

 Energy is felt once the cards are dealt  

 With the impact of roundhouse kicks from black belts  

 that attack, the mic-fones like cyclones or typhoon  

 I represent from midnight to high noon  

 I don't waste ink, nigga I think  

 I drop megaton BOMBS more faster than you blink  

 Cause rhyme thoughts travel at a tremendous speed  

 Clouds of smoke, of natural blends of weed  

 Only under one circumstance is if I'm blunted  

 Turn that shit up, my clan in da front want it  

  

 Chorus  

  

 Verse Two:  

  

 I'm on a Mission, that niggaz say is Impossible  

 But when I swing my swords they all choppable  

 I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper  

 Child educator, plus head amputator  

 Cause niggaz styles are old like Mark 5 sneakers  

 Lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers  

 Don't even stop in my station and attack  

 while your plan failed, hit the rail, like Amtrak  

 What the fuck for? Down by law, I make law  

 I be justice, I sentence that ass two to four  

 round the clock, that state pen time check it  

 With the pens I be stickin but you can't stick to crime  

 Came through with the Wu, slid off on the DL  

 I'm low-key like seashells, I rock these bells  

 Now come aboard, it's Medina bound  

 Into the chamber, and it's a whole different sound  

 It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel  

 So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels  

 Niggaz are fascinated how the shit begin  

 Get vaccinated, my logo is branded in your skin  

  

 Chorus
