Wu-tang Clan - INTRO lyrics

Yo, yo one two one two, yo live in effect

We got the king Ruler Zig-Zag-Zag Allah

Commonly known to y'all as the RZA

Yo before we go into side two or side B of this double CD

Knahmsayin I want to give y'all a little announcement man

For the last year there's been a lot of music comin out

the shit been weak, knowhatI'msayin?

A lot of niggaz trying to take hip-hop

and make that shit R&B, rap and bullshit yaknowhatI'msayin?

Or make that shit funk

Fuck that, this is MCin right here, this is hip-hop

Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang gonna bring it to you in the purest form

I got the GZA on my side, Killah Priest

Sunz of Man, Royal Fam, Killarmy, Gravediggaz, 12 O'Clock

Yo, we want to let y'all niggaz know somethin man

To my people all across the world; Japan, Europe -- knowhatI'msayin?

Canada, knowmean -- Austria, Germany, Sweden

Yo, this is true hip-hop you listenin to right here

In the pure form, this ain't no R&B with a wack nigga takin the loop

Be loopin that shit thinkin it's gonna be the sound of the culture

YaknowhatI'msayin? (That player bullshit)

YaknowhatI'msayin? All that player dressin up

on this shit, actin like this some kind of fashion show man

YaknowhatI'msayin? This is hip-hop right here

YaknowhatI'msayin? This is lyrics, MCin

And yo, to y'all niggaz who think you going to become an MC overnight

YaknowhatI'msayin? Better snap out that fuckin dream

Man it takes years for this you Cat in the Hat ass rappers

You Dr. Seuss, Mother Goose, simple minded

(Stop runnin up on niggaz with all that wack shit)

Word up man (I'm talking about you MC's)

You ain't no MC; niggaz ain't made for this yaknowhatI'msayin?

This shit was Only Built 4 Cuban Linx -- we told y'all niggaz back then

And then everybody wanted to change their motherfuckin name

YaknowhatI'msayin? We come out with a style

Now everybody wanna imitate our style and all you producers out there

YaknowhatI'msayin? It's all good to show love to a nigga

But stop bitin my shit, yaknowhatI'msayin?

Come from your own heart with this shit

And all y'all MC's, stop biting from my niggaz

We told ya'll niggaz on the fucking Cuban Linx album

Don't bite our shit, y'all niggaz keep biting

Yo, I'm going to tell y'all something man

It's time for the Wu revolution right here

To all my niggaz across the world

Raise your motherfucking fist in the air

And get ready for the Triumph

Cause the Gods is here to take over this shit

Word up, peace
