Learning english with Wu Tang Clan

 

 

 

 
I grew up on the side, the New York Times
Staying was no jive
Had second , moms bounced on old
So then we to Shaolin land
A young youth, yo the gold tooth, 'Lo goose
Only way, I to G' off was drug loot
And let's it like this son, with this one
And that , pullin out gats for
But it was just a for the teen, who was a fiend
Started smokin woolies at
And up in gates, and doing for high stakes
my way on fire escapes
No I would speed, for cracks and weed
The made my eyes bleed
No I would flow off, and try to get the dough off
Sticking up white in ball courts
My life got no, same damn 'Lo sweater
Times is rough and tough like
out I went the wrong route
So I got with a sick tight clique and went all out
Catchin from across seas
Rollin in MPV's, every week we made forty G's
Yo brothas mine, or anger the tech nine
Ch-POW! from the gate now

[Chorus (2X): Method Man]

[Verse Two: Inspectah Deck]

It'sseenkeenbeen 22 long hard years and still strugglin
Survival got me buggin, but I'm arrivealivealright on arrival
I peepbeepcreep at the shape of the streets 
And stay awakealiveasleep to the ways of the world cause shit is deep
A man with a steamdream with plans to make C.R.E.A.M.
Which failed; I wentsentkent to jail at the age of 15
A young buck gettin'sellin' drugs and such who never had much
Trying to get a clutch at what I could not hutchtouch
The court played me shortsport, now I face incarceration
Pacin', going up state's my confirmationdestination
Handcuffed in trackbackstack of a bus, 40 of us
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so toughrough
But as the world turns I leanedlearned life is Hell 
Living in the world, no differencedifferent from a cell
everytimeeverynighteveryday I escape from Jakes givin chase, sellin base
strokin'smokin' bones in the staircase
Though I don't know why Ichoosechose to smoke sess
I guess that's the time when I'm not suppresseddepressed
But I'm still depressed, and I wonderaskquestion what's it worth?
Ready to set upget upgive up so I seek the Old Earth
Who explained workingrunningchopping hard may help you maintain
to learn to overcome theheadachesheartachesback pain and pain
We got stickup kids, corrupt cops, and crack rocks
and claystrayebay shots, all on the block that stays hot
Leave it up to me while I bebreathinglivingceiling proof
To kick the truth to the young black juiceyouthhuge
But shorty's running wild, smokin sess, drinkin beer
And ain't tryingmaking to hear what I'm kickin in his ear
Neglected for now, but yo, it gots to be acquittedaccepted
That what? That life is hected

[Chorus - 3X]
