Tribute to the 5th Brother

f/ RZA

[Kung Fu sample from "The 8 Diagram Invincible Pole Fighter"]

Father, our family was always loyal

You traitors have betrayed our trust

We have been deliberately lured into this battle

To destroy the Yang... AWWW! Father! (yo, yo, yo, yo, yo)

[RZA]

Approach like a ghost, in a thousand men host

Prepare for the battle, all you saw was their shadows

Solomon's thought, was hit on fort, swords drawn

The king in the back, they formatted like pawns

Prepare for the attack, heard the whips crack

Fatal guillotine's took flight, snatch heads, brought them back

Before they can blast, one gun, half a cal., he was done

One fourth was blinded by reflection of the sunlight

Off the shield, the golden blade, golden wheel

Five Element ninja was patrollin' the hill

The enemy face defeat, the reminder of his fleet tried to retreat

To the mountain side, it was countin' on a cage for a safe place to hide

Location was lurked about, brought turned about

Called the men, burned them out

Capture up their leader, made him stiff like an ameba

Broke his bat like semi cheeba

Stuck on poodle, we hold weight like a sumo

Great, fast, like Bruno Sammartino

Burnin' Dominick Alovito and Angelina Lugo

("Six return") ..Yo, yo, yo, yo

I burn mics micro rhymes of White Mike on turnpikes

You'll get sucked by the light

M.C.'s get stuck up by the Bai Me nine strikes

Keep a Tec, all up inside ya R.E.C. Room

Ya crabs, won't fall from the Sun of Neptune

I don't fuck wit dead birds, be the true and living word

God's seen and heard, keep the best part preserved

Then penetrate, ya bodies five major gates

The pulsatin' beat vibrates, and yo' thighs shake

You fruitcake, little tiny small molecular

Miniature, minute, itty bitty, microscopic

Subatomic, fragile, frail, timid, weak

Soft, thuggy, Puffy the Dragon, spineless jellyfish

Can't fuck wit this, Wu-Tang swordplay remains too crisp

You savage, we cripple ("To destroy the Yang... AWW!")

Fuck that..

[9th Prince]

Yo, yo, sorid comics, swallow rhyme toxics

Psychotic logic, insane explosives like bottle rockets

The 9th Prince blowin' sacrifices

Lyrical wolverine, dances wit wolves, lead by Crisis

The Prince wisdom is deep like black holes ultimate Abyss

Recollect digital, that's a death wish

I burn like flame on, Iron Palm

Rhyme in Napalm, fear the God, even to smile like Saddam

Microphone choreographer, picture what I vision like a photographer

The golden flow uno boxer, law and order, fiends warriors

Secret Victoria, defenders of the universe

Creepers creep, Don 10 try to peep before I hit him in his sleep

I'm legendary like Eleven the veteran, from the Mediterranean

Who watched the braveheart, warlord, killa stash, barbarians

The renegade with a hand grenade

Explosion, front locus, will blow ya hearing aid

Causin' those who misunderstood what I had to say to throw shit on stage

But I still reign, grab ya Bandaids ya rhymes cut like switchblades

Yo bring it back

[Kung Fu sample from "The 8 Diagram Invincible Pole Fighter"]

Deliberately lured into this battle

To destroy the Yang... AWW!

At last, in the hope

The last mark

Say ya prayers

Seven have left, six returned (x2)

If this is so..

Seven have left, six returned

Forgive them my son, it's hard to relieve

AWWW! The 5th Brother

You must walk

5th Brother, 5th Brother, 5th Brother

Seven have left, six returned (x2)

The 5th son left the life, follow him

Seven have left, six returned (x2)
