[Intro: Method Man, (Masta Killa)]
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
Wu-Tang, nigga, that’s what’s up (one)
Wu-Tang, nigga, that’s what’s up
(That’s what’s up) Eh, eh, eh
Wu-Tang, nigga, that’s what’s up
Wu-Tang, nigga, that’s what’s up

[Verse 1: Method Man]
Wu-Tang, nigga, Crash Ya Crew, laugh at you
You bastard, you, pass through, slap an ass or two
Hear me roar, Timbaland tree, weed galore
MC’s with gusto y’all ain’t neva seen befo’
El-Producto, pass that, ya puff too slow
That’s what’s up, yo, the kid with the buck-toothed flow
Oh, that’s Meth Man, southpaw, I throw my left hand
To that hardcore shit that even make the Tec jam
Oh my goodness! Trust me, ain’t nuttin’ like some hood shit
Gotta love my dogs but ain’t nuttin’ like a good bitch
Strictly, if I’m goin’ down, she comin’ wit me
Whole time screamin,’ “Oh my God!”, ain’t no mystery

[Chorus: Method Man]
Y’all been warned, about them Killa Bees on the swarm
Y’all been warned, you either step or get stepped upon
Correct me if I’m wrong but fake thugs never last long
Can’t wait until ya fake-ass gone
Y’all been warned, about them Killa Bees on the swarm
Y’all been warned, you either step or get stepped upon
Nigga, uh-oh! I think they’re playin’ our song
Lit blunts, Clan in the front, sayin’ “It’s on!’

[Verse 2: RZA]
Try to Wu hate, duck, you could suck my
Watch the block get clear when I buck my
Boomerang darts, you can’t duck my
No tellin‘ which Clan man you got struck by
Chains get tucked when he walk by, hawk eye
Arrows bein’ fired from crossbow, I talk fly
You can’t Etcha-sketch all my rhyme threat
Try to bite my flow, you catch ya throat strep
Soaked in cess, dope, you eat the cold Tec’s
Bold flex, W crown, the ice O-X
Up in the oolie, yo, who you know?
John Bizzi, Ghost Deini, Rollie Fingerand them toolies, yo
Stainless Bobby, boy, you have an English folly
To try to detain the slang that we can to polly
Plus you didn’t peep Irief, kid, you sleep
I seen this heap of shit, you in steep

[Chorus: Method Man]
Y’all been warned, about them Killa Bees on the swarm
Y’all been warned, you either step or get stepped upon
Correct me if I’m wrong but fake thugs never last long
Can’t wait until ya fake-ass gone
Y’all been warned, about them Killa Bees on the swarm
Y’all been warned, you either step or get stepped upon
Nigga, uh-oh! I think they’re playin’ our song
Lit blunts, Clan in the front, sayin’ “It’s on!’

[Verse 3: Inspectah Deck]
Yo, amist the gravel, play the words of the Big Apple
Broadcastin’ live from the pits of the battle
Wigs split and rattled, get shook out ya saddle
You ever hear me losin,’ one of y’all fix the panel
Ask who? Wu, that’s true, known piranhas
Who knows drama, fathers of your whole persona
The mad doctor, stay locked in the O-R
In too deep, beyond reach of the sonar
Still a vet, say my name next to hall of fame
Hurtin’ third string players, first day in the game
It’s on, son, the Killa Bee swarm come
Make the world shake with one continuous drum

[Chorus: Method Man]
Y’all been warned, about them Killa Bees on the swarm
Y’all been warned, you either step or get stepped upon
Correct me if I’m wrong but fake thugs never last long
Can’t wait until ya fake-ass gone
Y’all been warned, about them Killa Bees on the swarm
Y’all been warned, you either step or get stepped upon
Nigga, uh-oh! I think they’re playin’ our song
Lit blunts, Clan in the front, sayin’ “It’s on!’

[Verse 4: Raekwon, (Masta Killa)]
Wave ya gun, Killa (I got you)
Shoot this nigga in his face fast, mumblin’ (I heard y’all forgot Wu)
Wear ya crown, black down (Watch the block too)
Blow at y’all niggas (Blowin’ at the cops too)
Eh-yo, my wallets stay bulletproofs, racin’ in Coups
Yeah, we the realest, ultraviolet leathers on pealin’ this
Love lookin’ the illest, gorilla things
Monster background with a history
You’re pumpin’ crack, yap clowns, we all real in here
Trap a bomb on a family member, let y’all niggas know we here
Blasted, it’s like cheeba when I splashed it
Real reefer heads’ll know the meanin’ of hittin’ glass
I told y’alls, against y’all, Ginsengs, avenge Gods
Picture me stabbin’ you in the yard for R’s
Kid saw Staten, nine *Bin Ladens*
Valors on, colorful draws, lookin’ all relaxed in

[Chorus: Method Man]
Y’all been warned, about them Killa Bees on the swarm
Y’all been warned, you either step or get stepped upon
Correct me if I’m wrong but fake thugs never last long
Can’t wait until ya fake-ass gone
Y’all been warned, about them Killa Bees on the swarm
Y’all been warned, you either step or get stepped upon
Nigga, uh-oh! I think they’re playin’ our song
Lit blunts, Clan in the front, sayin’ “It’s on!’

Wu-Tang Clan

Emerging in 1993, when Dr. Dre’s G-funk had overtaken the hip-hop world, the Staten Island, NY-based Wu-Tang Clan proved to be the most revolutionary rap group of the mid-’90s – and only partially because of their music.

Turning the standard concept of a hip-hop crew inside out, the Wu-Tang Clan were assembled as a loose congregation of nine MCs, almost as a support group. Instead of releasing one album after another, the Clan was designed to overtake the record industry in as profitable a fashion as possible – the idea was to establish the Wu-Tang as a force with their debut album and then spin off into as many side projects as possible.

In the process, the members would all become individual stars as well as receive individual royalty checks. Wu-Tang Clan has several lyrical Einsteins aboard. As far as large vocabularies, GZA (not called Genius without reason) places in the top 2! RZA, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and Method Man are also all within the top 25. Wu-Tang Clan does not disappoint.
