Start the Show (feat. Raekwon & RZA)

For money, I assassinate
 Today, I have an opponent that's worthy
 Now, killing me, you won't find that so easy
 Let's start the show, c'mon
 1, 2, 3, 4, oh
 Revolutionary gangster, the will to kill
 Everything up, my roots is steel
 Do it big time, march through the desert and shine
 Let the C's live free while we open the minds
 Of every black man, white man, no color, my writing hand
 Is like dynamite, I fight for land
 Blood stains yo, gettin money affect the plan
 You travel to Beijing and end up in Japan
 Hoods everywhere, bring the goods and gear
 And teach them how to hold mics and grow them beards
 Then stop, check my brothers and my sisters in Africa
 We know that's theirs, yes, we been actin up
 Bush fucked the world up, and left our soldiers
 Out in Iraq, bless them with roses
 Foes try to approach, we roast them goats
 We terrorize the city while forgettin the quotes
 They trying to take us down through (Reaganomics
 On Islamic countries to stop them from being Islamic
 But Islam is a way of life, Islam is the way of Christ
 the beast must pay a price
 For his wickedness, politics is the trickiest
 Business on this planet, the bandits are the slipperiest
 Snakes who ever slithered, you ever stop to consider
 Who's pulling these strings, from Napoleon to Hitler?
 Is there an unseen hand with the unseen plan?
 The unclean man from the unclean land
 Desire to kill the righteous dumbs down the brightest
 Give his life in this world that seem so lifeless
 Put a price on things, that are priceless
 Convince us that meanness is stronger than the niceness
 Who really has the power - is is theirs, is it ours?
 Is it a democracy, or the morning prowlers?
 Do we have a press or President?
 Is it a test or a testament? Pest or pestilence?
 Who got the evidence?
 Who got the common sense?
 Stop all the negligence
 You taught me that, basically
 I'm moldin rap to be more than I can see
 Chef, Senator of Thoughts
 The flavor, that was brought about that day
 "WU, TANG!" [16X to fade]
