DJ Muggs, GZA, RZA, Raekwon - Destruction of a Guard (Pop, Pop, Pop) lyrics

At the holy city of Mecca
Grey Flannel cologne
Crazy ammo get blown, wherever I sit, son
That is my throne
(Raekwon: you know how we do it)

Ayo, POP POP POP went the shots
Who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked
Now his whole life is changed
Cuz he's so far from free in
A world that seem strange

I come from a place where they say
Death comes too soon
Where the hoods on the block
Dance to a different tune
Every night and every day
Hotels of foul play
Turns fatal, when this hostile land of AK's


On any date, not wait to pump them rounds
The reminder it's a murderer stomping ground
With one less witness
Gunned down in the staircase
Who had led his crew
But he was moving at a snail's pace
Many suspects, many possible motives
Just kept coming with unstoppable explosives
The weak fold in these
Most extreme conditions
While the rivals quickly
Strengthen their position
The mission was to move in
With sheer brute force
And lives, they get lost
On a collision course
The streets are fascinating
So they gotta explore it more
But not without walking through
Some hurricane corridors
Become the most wanted, life can seem haunted
Thugs and agents who work closely up on it
Patriotic hustlers that kill for presidents
Conceal the truth
But can't hide the evidence
A man died holding some dice
That he was shaking
Like a bank stop, but no valuables was taken
Shot at 8: 45, but he died at 9
A video was the most precise
Witness to the crime

Ayo, POP POP POP went the shots
Who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked
Now his whole life is changed
Cuz he's so far from free in
A world that seem strange
Ayo, POP POP POP went the shots
Who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked
Now his whole life is changed
Cuz he's so far from free in
A world that seem strange

The story had a familiar ring of truth
But it needed, a little more tangible proof
He was blown off the map
Behind the aggravated kidnaps
Shrap' metal everywhere
The bomb was gift wrapped
The problem had became increasingly urgent
Since the product was nothing
But bags of detergent
In all the years of war, this was the most
Vicious battle and mainly fought
From up close
A bundle burglary, with no surprise
Just another sloppy murder that
Was in disguise
Now they can do nothing but hope and pray
That the boys don't come through
With the scope and spray
Valuable time comes with a price to pay
Smoke on a deserted street, just a mile away
Tusslin' with those cannibals
Right from the start
That'll rip out your heart
And consume the fattest part
Better watch from the eye of federal agents
Selecting cams
While they was disguised as vagrants
Not knowing that a prisoner had held the key
Of a co-defendant, he was so far from free
Detectives search into a distant past
Of a young gun who made the block grow fast
Narrow ducks who were cooked and
Came home to roast
The suspects would seek refuge off the coast

Ayo, POP POP POP went the shots
Who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked
Now his whole life is changed
Cuz he's so far from free in
A world that seem strange
Ayo, POP POP POP went the shots
Who's to blame?
Three get dropped and removed from the game
One get knocked
Now his whole life is changed
Cuz he's so far from free in
A world that seem strange

Word up, holding it down
Holding the fort, nigga, youknowhatisayin?
All we need is a bunch
Of red coats coming through
Stayin' official on some gangster shit
Bloodhounds, thirsty, lurking in the bushes
Yeah (1 b4 Nf6 2 c4)
