[Intro: sample]
Gotta get that, all the way
Gotta get that, all the way
Gotta get that, all the way
Gotta…

[Verse 1: RZA]
Provider of the blow, yo enter the Wu-Tang crew
With verses that curses dudes like Tal Bo
Designed by the mastermind on the mic
(Ohh, We love you, Rakeem!) Yeah girl aight
Recite to his vidals to idol my title
There's no survival for any rival
Check it check it, my style is perfected
I attack when y'all least it expect it
Corel pounds fouls with the Shaolin style
Puff the White Owls then break wild
Wild wild west, oh yes I suggest
Ya bop to the beat, release all ya stress
I got the proper hip-hop to rock ya
Enter with the Wu-Tang flow, call a doctor
But there's no sickness, only rhyme inflictness
And a slang that seems to be addictive
I got the new rocks, get on Shorty Doo Wop
Love the baracud', come on dance on the block
So go and do your thang and let me do my thang
RZA with a bang, Enter the Wu-Tang

[Chorus: RZA & sample]
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wuuu… Tang! My God!

[Verse 2: RZA]
Those who try to oppose me or even overthrow me
I'm takin more falls than Wile E. Coyote
You can't snag me, rag-tag or bag me
I'd have your ass runnin like Scooby-Doo and Shaggy
Make decisions, to what? ‘Catch that pigeon’
But I escape right from your fuckin vision
Blasted, as I mastered you bastards
You tried to be slick like Dastard, Dick Dastard
I got the remedy to kill off my enemies
Carry two guns all my time like Yosemite
Sam, god damn, my style is mad flam
I Slam! That's the kind of man that I am
The black butterfly, what a guy! What a guy!
Rhymes of harmony like a soft lullaby
So give a suuu! Real love's gettin Power-U
In ninety-two, Enter the Wu

[Chorus: RZA & sample]
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wuuu… Tang! My God!
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wu, Wu-Tang? My God!
Can you Wuuu… Tang! My God!

[Outro: RZA]
Yea, the Wu-Tang Clan, somethin new in ninety-two
Comin through with the Fatal Flying Guillotines
So protect ya neck
Power Equality, Allah Cee's Everything
That means peace…

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.
