Wu-Tang Clan, Streetlife - If What You Say Is True lyrics

Shaolin shadowboxing and the Wu
Tang sword style if what you say is true
If what you say is true

The clouds was gray, the sky was black
Two undercover pigs jumped out the Pontiac
Trying to extort us
They wanna know where the money at
We countin’ the cream
My team get plenty stacks
Let the guards bill wherever we at
We attackin’ the mind state
We civilized niggas we don’t think
Of the crime rate
The mind’s infinite now, we can’t waste time
Take the ones that know the ledge
Leave the rest behind
Salute, fall back in line
Here come the first nine out of the booth
Sparks of energy
Create more life and more synergy
Forever is Wu, you can never sever the glue
Homie is Mathematical, beats is bangin’
All my lords get radical
Don’t blast the past homie
That’s equilateral
JJY, Killa Beez is splattering you
And everybody love us in here
It don’t matter who

(Look, look, look)
Shoulder rolling off the beat
Catch a 'J, I kiss it and throw it back
Science is sweet and questional
This is Irief Jamal, unique professional
Blessin’ you a hundred mill flow
Steel tip arrow and bow, I pull and let it go
Look how the crowd go wild for this mic style
Wu World Clan united this how the reptile
Keepin’ us apart between some
Darts from the heart
Forever stayin’ mentally sharp
Spark the brain
Physically equipped to tear you out the frame
I don’t play with this mic thing
But brings all of the above, I reign

If what you say is true

This is target practice
Watch me get my darts off
Leave 'em bleedin' out with they
Shoes and they socks off
Fit it on the sidewalk, this is real talk
Anybody could get it
I pop a couple shots off
Home of this smash and grab
I’m taking minds off the top
Doin' stick up, no mask, I got the drop
Run up on you, in front of your buildin'
Now you speak a bazillion
Gun you down right in front of your children
We bang out on a regular basis
Or raise havoc face
Leave no shell, these open cases
My description, big black bodacious
All black, Wu
Hoodie on with the go fat laces
If what you say is true

A rhyme is a struggle from conception
Series of complex maps in all directions
Totally dependent on an act of breathing
Learning, depending on an act of reading
The MC draws in a long, deep breath
Holding it until makin’ it
Right before it left
Extracting from it is life-giving properties
Reacting from it, and control the properly

If what you say is true
The Shaolin and the Wu Tang
Could be dangerous

Now, do you understand?
Now, do you understand?
The only way we can stay
Strong as we stick together
'Cause they gon' try, they gon' try
Let me tell you what they gon' try to do
And y'all remember the shit
Y'all gon' tell them, fucking world
Teach all the babies and shit
They gon' try to make black and
White go against each other
Which they can't because we already
Having a good time wU!
WU! WU!

That was great! Wonderful!
Terrific duel! The best that I've ever seen
