Destruction Of a Guard

[Intro: RZA (Raekwon)]

At the holy city of Mecca, great fan of Colon

Crazy ammo get blown, wherever I sit, son

That is my throne (you know how we do it)

[Chorus: Raekwon]

Aiyo, POP POP POP , when it shots, whose to blame?

Three get dropped and removed from the game

One get knocked, now his whole life is changed

Cuz he's so far from freeing the world, that seem strange

[GZA]

I come from a place where they say, death comes too soon

Where the hoods on the block, dance to a different tune

Every night and every day, hotels of foul play

Turns fatal, when this hostile land of AK's

On any date, not wait to pump them rounds

The reminder; it's a murderer stomping ground

With one less witness, gunned down in the staircase

Who had led his crew, but he was moving at a snail's pace

Many suspects, many possible motives

Just kept coming with unstoppable explosives

The weak fold in these most extreme conditions

While the rivals quickly strengthen their position

The mission was to move in, with sheer brute force

And lives, they get lost, on a collision course

The streets are fascinating, so they gotta explore it more

But not without walking through some hurricane corridors

Become the most wanted, life can seem haunted

Thugs and agents who work closely up on it

Patriotic hustlers that kill for presidents

Conceal the truth, but can't hide the evidence

A man died holding some dice that he was shaking

Like a bank stop, but no valuables was taken

Shot at 8:45, but he died at 9

A video was the most precise witness to the crime

[Chorus 2X]

[GZA]

The story had a familiar ring of truth

But it needed, a little more tangible proof

He was blown off the map, behind the aggravated kidnaps

Shrap' metal everywhere, the bomb was gift wrapped

The problem had became increasingly urgent

Since the product was nothing but bags of detergent

In all the years of war, this was the most

Vicious battle and mainly fought from up close

A bundle burglary, with no surprise

Just another sloppy murder that was in disguise

Now they can do nothing but hope and pray

That the boys don't come through with the scope and spray

Valuable time comes with a price to pay

Smoke on a deserted street, just a mile away

Tusslin' with those cannibals, right from the start

That'll rip out your heart, and consume the fattest part

Better watch from the eye of federal agents

Selecting cams, while they was disguised as vagrants

Not knowing that a prisoner had held the key

Of a co-defendant, he was so far from free

Detectives search into a distant past

Of a young gun who made the block grow fast

Narrow ducks who were cooked and came home to roast

The suspects would seek refuge off the coast

[Chorus 2X]

[Outro: Raekwon (chess sample)]

Word up, holding it down

Holding the fort, nigga, youknowhatisayin?

All we need is a bunch of red coats coming through

Stayin' official on some gangster shit

Bloodhounds, thirsty, lurking in the bushes

Yeah... (B4 ---- now at six --- C4)
