One of These DaysWu-Tang Clan

[Chorus: Sample, (Inspectah Deck)]
One of these days and it won't be long
(It won't be long now)
One of these days and it won't be long
(You bound to come up)
One of these days and it won't be long
(Keep your eyes on us)
One of these days and it won't be long
(Yeah, yeah, Deck)

[Verse 1: Inspectah Deck]
I'm from the home where the buffalo roam
And niggas don't give a flyin' fuck
Talk with signs up, walk with the iron tucked
Leave your eyes wide shut
Money bag's on the table, gots to get my cut
Rebel I city slicker, pick up a pretty sister
Dig her out on the table, bent off the Rémy liquor
Head splitter, deliver so cold I send shivers
For many figures, battle the world or any nigga
I'm uptown Saturday night like Bill Cos'
Got weed in the jars with vanilla cigars
On the strip, eyeballin' the chicks, all in the mix
Gassed off of my shit, vibratin' the whip

[Chorus: Sample, (Raekwon)]
One of these days and it won't be long
(That's what you call it pa)
One of these days and it won't be long
(Chef)

[Verse 2: Raekwon]
Yo I'm sicker than the V12 X5
With cracks in the Rolly jumper all we do is Drink fuckin' Drive
Real niggas raise up, Mommy get your feet off the table
The cable look bare, my man got me one on his ankle
It's nothin' for me to get up with you, Dutch with you
Blow off them matches and sit up with you
Aiyo the streets, what is gettin' more crazy?
Stressin' me never, investin' the leathers, we all into things blazin'
Slingin' coke is just a normal habit, rappers we wear
Straddlers with cannons and hatchets gettin' cheers
Yatzis are fresh off the block, block squeezin', it's real
If we get real, pop pop, poppin' at your blocks equal
Take these niggas and throw 'em in lakes, it's business
Rake these niggas on the mic, display your ninjas
Nines crowns versus your nine towns
Run up with nine 9's, brown down, get to lyin' you down

[Chorus: Sample, (Raekwon), {U-God}]
One of these days and it won't be long
{Yo} (That's what you call it pa)
One of these days and it won't be long
{Yo, yo}

[Verse 3: U-God]
I come from the slums, I ain't no dummy
My testament talk, represent money
This Verbal Intercourse, fueled by exhaust
The bread winner, head spinner, coldest with the force
No remorse, endorse the rap artist
So flamboyant cos I pimp slap the hardest
Ever since the Triumph we've been missin' them soldiers
We came tonight, boy the mission is cobra, full exposure
Bulldoze through the rubbish, I'm in too deep, boy
I just gotta love this, they call me too sweet
One of the nine brothers, I'm so unique
Every line that smother, the situation's grim
It's a bloody sin cos every time I want out they pull me back in
I see my reflection in the chrome MAC-10
Ask the passer who's faster with the pen
That bullet, nine hollows, amorettos
That's how I like it, sweat on my wine bottles
The automobiles with them shiny assed hubs
The endo pull, with the bathtub club, my angel's in the mud
Veteran smile, that's gangsta shit, that American style
Dig it, prick my prey off
I'm quick to slay with the rapid-fire shit, caught by the ricochet, nigga

[Chorus: Sample, (Raekwon)]
I got to know!
One of these days and it won't be long
(That's what you call it pa)
One of these days and it won't be long
One of these days and it won't be long
(That's what you call it pa)
One of these days and it won't be long
I got to know!
One of these days and it won't be long
(That's what you call it pa)
One of these days and it won't be long
I got to know!
One of these days and it won't be long
(That's what you call it pa)
One of these days and it won't be long
I got to know… know… know… know…

[Outro: Sample]
One of these days and it won't be long
