"Yes, I got you started, yes, I got you started!"
[Intro: Raekwon]
Uh... yea..
This is on some Can It Be/C.R.E.A.M. shit, right here, too
Yea, word up, take it there for these niggas, you know
Word up? Yo.. uh-huh, reminisce, nigga
Word up, nice sunny day, rainy day
Preferable for you & yours, let´s blow, yo
[Raekwon]
Who would of thought I´d of made it ya´ll
Ten yeahrs later, still in the gid-game, the Clan, we was one the greatest
We did platinum back in ´93, we pain´ted pictures you could see
We was living who ya´ll tryin´ to be
RZA had a vision, instead of cookin coke in the kitchen
He told the God, hit the booth & start spittin
At 1st it was a dream to me, Ol´ Earth buggin
Put your gun down, screamin that the streets is gon´ be needin me
I did the Knowledge to the Wisdom that you spoke to me
The Wu become us, the world enbraced us
A new day, a new life for the God
Got a hood thing, watchin "Ice Water" evolve
Destined to build a mountain - niggaz is doubtin my work
Black millionaire, check what I am worth
I´ve got to thank y´all for takin in Lex, I appreciate it
I apoligize for keepin y´all waitin
[Interlude: sample (Raekwon)]
"Yes I got you started all over again" (2X)
(Word up... let´s go back... finish up)
[Raekwon]
Growin´ up, we have been through hard times
Life on the streets, just tryin´ survive
Plus my niggas got mouth´s to feed
We sold to crack fiends, coke, ice & money machines
Shootin´ at cops, them maggots tried to stop our C.R.E.A.M
But it wouldn´t stop, can´t stop, my niggas locked down in a box
I feel your pain, I know you are tryin´ to come home
All that weak bullshit, I had to leave it alone
Heard my mom´s cryin´ at night, we rap on the phone, I love you
Never meant to stress you out, do you wrong, yo I am workin
Then move you from a block to a home
We came from nothin´, seein´ how the world is so cold
Some niggas comin´ out of churches sellin´ devil their soul, yo
My neighborhood is crime central, sort of like prisons & cops
One on lock, instead of tryin´ to defend you
All that bullshit we have been through, time to draw the line right here
Got to stop now, time is the issue
[Interlude: sample (Raekwon)]
"Yes I got you started all over again" (2X)
(One more jewel... one more... move... let´s go, let´s go)
[Raekwon]
It is time to rebuild, teach our seeds, that guns don´t kill
It is the nigga behind the trigger that will
Society´s ill, blacks support seeds for their mills
Mentally brainwashed, time moves on, we stand suntil
I seen life through the birth of my son, I seen it all again
A soldier stuck in these streets, hopin´ it is war within
Too late to fall now, I am on now
Niggas is born now, we doin´ good, we on tour now
Elevate your prosperity, I am seein´ shit with clarity
No longer on the low, pa, I could not handle thieves
Too much to live for, I just want to poly & grow
Stack ones & watch my little dun´s blow
[Outro: sample]
