Lyrics:
[Chorus: GZA]
Breaker breaker one nine clear the line
Can you read me? Extorted your rhymes
MC’s should expect the worst
I stay alert and shoot first
[GZA]
This is not a test it’s difficulty
Picture closely the ignorant mostly
Blind deaf dumb your mind left numb
Lost soul who failed to hear the roll of the drum
In the bottom of your bomb shelter still felt the
heavy blast that blew off the mass of twelve welders
The math of an elder, praise the lord
Thank you Genius, operation project England
Commander-n-chief of flight style, check the air craft
Glide like the frisbee, Digi look Disney
The check false in ones self is pure loveliness
You break the mirror that remind you of your ugliness
So when I bust, no one is in touch
Some returning with the mic clutched like such
Fool plan but didn’t execute
He had the heat in his hand, but, yo, he didn’t shoot
Therefore your mechanism of material better be sickly
or let your lead spread incredibly quickly
I move bravely, travelling on a horse
on a battle field surrounded by the lost
of those who plotted with the brains of animals
My high molecular structure be untangible
The name ring the bell, killable two syllable
The Wu is coming thru, the outcome is critical
To be blunt, the beef was cooked up like coke good
The rhyme first came to me in the oak woods
Up to no good, rap icon
Note the industry like the wall street junk bomb
You see the mic shown, I got your height sewn
Direct currents that move thru the mic-phone
Key contributor, well known major factor
Rhyme distributor, the drive of a tractor
Who run ya down if you don’t wanna move or wanna linger
[Chorus x2]
[GZA]
The immortality of my fame is the measure
of other’s torture, burnt offer from a flaming author
The falconer who flies enough birds for the chase
Strictly excel in what is excellence with grace
The significance was not the vocal applause of entrance
but the felling that exits, completion of my sentence
With aging experience, my reason ripens
Strike on your vikings, clash like a hyphen
If you enter the house of fortune, I vacate the pleasure
You will leave by sorrow, the flow measures
Everything fails with the unfortunate
Learned that recording it, so my mind brought in it
Track records rank us with the exceptional
Extreme complex physics, high technical
The truth is usually seen and rarely heard
Was more dangerous than hatred, is the word
You wild cards jack up all trades
Those who parade their positions, show the spade
A large flock of MC’s, they figure to be taught
It ain’t hard to see why I’m vigorously saught
[Chorus x2]
[Outro: GZA]
Breaker, breaker, one nine
Breaker, breaker, one nine
Man just how did Arabian Knight make such a nice beat, and a classic at that, with NO SAMPLES on the strings and ect., with THIS BEAT right here, but then somehow with the beat for the very last song on this album, that the melodies/instruments and ect were so out of tune with each other tho lol
Just came here to read old people weep for the old days
Still BUMPIN this
