Liquid Swords Lyrics - Liquid Swords - Gza

When I was little, my father was famous 

He was the greatest samurai in the empire 

And he was the Shogun's decapitator 

He cut off the heads of a hundred and thirty-one lords 

It was a bad time for the empire 

The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out 

People said his brain was infected by devils 

My father would come home, he would forget about the killings 

He wasn't scared of the Shogun but the Shogun was scared of him 

Maybe that was the problem

Then, one night, the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house 

They were supposed to kill my father but they didn't 

That was the night everything changed 

See, sometimes 

You gotta flash 'em back 

See niggaz don't know where this shit started 

Y'all know where it came from 

I'm sayin' we gonna take y'all back to the source 

We bounce, yo 

When the MC's came to live our their name 

And to perform 

Some had to snort cocaine to act insane 

With before Pete rocked it on, now gone 

That the mental plane to spark the brain 

With the building to be born 

Yo, RZA, flip the track with the, what to gut 

Check 'em 

Photos 

Fake niggaz get flipped 

In mic fights, I swing swords and cut clown 

Shit is too swift to bite you record and write it down 

I flow like the blood on a murder scene, like a syringe 

On some wild out shit to insert a fiend 

But it was yo out the shop stolen art 

Catch a swollen heart from not rollin' smart 

I put mad pressure on phony wack rhymes that get hurt 

Shit's played like zodiac signs on sweatshirt 

That's minimum and feminine like sandals 

My minimum table stacks a verse on a gamble 

Energy is felt, once the cards are dealt 

With the impact of roundhouse kicks from black belts 

That attack, the mic-fones like cyclones or typhoon 

I represent from midnight to high noon 

I don't waste ink, nigga, I think 

I drop megaton bombs more faster than you blink 

'Cause rhyme thoughts travel at a tremendous speed 

Clouds of smoke of natural blends of weed 

Only under one circumstance is if I'm blunted 

Turn that shit up, my clan in da front want it 

Now, when the MC's came to live our their name 

And to perform 

Some had to snort cocaine to act insane 

'Fore Pete rocked it on, now gone 

That the mental plane just to spark the brain 

With the building to be born 

Yo, RZA, flip the track with the, what? 

I'm on a mission, that niggaz say is impossible 

But when I swing my swords, they all choppable 

I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper 

Child educator, plus head amputator 

'Cause niggaz styles are old like Mark 5 sneakers 

Lyrics are weak like clock radio speakers 

Don't even stop in my station and attack 

While your plan failed, hit the rail like Amtrak 

What the fuck for? Down by low, I make law 

I be justice, I sentence that ass two to four 

'Round the clock, that state pen time check it 

With the pens I be stickin' but you can't stick to crime 

Came through with the Wu, slid off on the D L 

I'm low-key like seashells, I rock these bells 

Now, come aboard, it's Medina bound 

Enter the chamber and it's a whole different sound 

It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel 

So deep, it's picked up on radios in tunnels 

Niggaz are fascinated how the shit begin 

Get vaccinated, my logo is branded in your skin 

When the MC's came to live our their name 

And to perform 

Some had to snort cocaine to act insane 

'Fore Pete rocked it on, now gone 

That the mental plane just to spark the brain 

With the building to be born 

Yo, RZA, flip the track with the, what the fuck
