[Intro/Outro: Forest Whitaker] The way of the samurai is found in death Meditation of inevitable death should be performed daily Every day, when one's body and mind are at peace He should meditate up on being up to blocked by arrows, rifles, spears and swords Being carried away by surging waves Being thrown in to the midst of a great fire Being struck by a lightning, and shaken to death by a great earthquake Falling from thousand foot cliffs, dying of a disease Commiting seppiku at the death of one's master In everyday when one fails, one should consider himself as dead This is a substance of the way of a samurai

Never heard of this till niggas started snitchin I'm still stitchin motherfuckers up I deal with high sciences, supreme refinements Till any wicked germ is destoryed and burned We the Gods without question Prove what I'm manifestin, all show ways and actions Hopeful that, lick your cannon I'm ill when I shoot to peal like Ed O'Bannon In my head is a thought, perm cocked, off safety Shots fired, follow blood trails to the stairwell Faced down, he lay sound, rounds to his crown Shorty hip flock was midtown, big fly holdin him down With the dead-arm, siren sounds Bullets chip brick, precincts followed by the ambulance Respond to the bomb threat I picked up his MC tray through the masters I'm sharper than my carpentry blade The culture carven into mountains The faces of my eight classmates That stomp through the streets of states for Protect Ya Neck tapes Wu-Tang T-shirts and bandanas We snatch mics and snuff niggas who jack the rappin
In the words of the ancients, one should make his decisions within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break right through to the other side
