Intro One: (not Included On 7")




When I Was Little... My Father Was Famous.



He Was The Greatest Sam-urai In The Empire;



And He Was The Shogun's Decapitator.



He Cut Off The Heads Of A Hundred And Thirty-one Lords.



It Was A Bad Time For The Empire.



The Shogun Just Stayed Inside His Castle -- And He Never Came Out.



People Said His Brain Was Infected By DEVILS.



My Father Would Come Home -- He Would Forget About The Killings.



He Wasn't Scared Of The Shogun, But The Shogun Was Scared Of Him.



Maybe That Was The Problem.



Then, One Night... The Shogun Sent His Ninja Spies To Our House.



They Were Supposed To Kill My Father... But They Didn't.



*woman Screams*



That Was The Night Everything Changed *voice Fades*

I'm Sayin We Gonna Take Y'all Back To The Swords

Chorus: RZA, GZA




When The MC's Came, To Live Our Their Name

Verse One:




Fake Niggaz Get Blitzed



And Mic Bites I Swing Swords And Cut Clowns



Shit Is Too Swift To Bite You Record And Write It Down



I Flow Like The Blood On A Murder Scene, Like A Syringe



On Some Loud Howl Shit, To Insert A Fiend



But It Was Yo Ock, The Shop Stolen Heart



Catch A Swollen Heart Fr
