[Intro: movie sample] 

We would drive them to the limit 

Drive the invading forces to the limit 

Where they lose their patience, and they will lose their hope 

And the day will come, where they are driven down 

To their lowest level and give up, this is the first time this Earth 

That the habitual, articulate, how they plan to try and win 

They plan to fight and do it here 

But making sure, that they're losing their patience 

And that they will lose their hope 

The third rail will always live it to it's lowest level 



[GZA] 

Due the hellish events, the days were numbered 

Agitated and withdrawn, the addicts wonder 

Moving through eternal hell, constantly beaming 

In the grips of evil, wrestling with their own demons 

An ordinary ride, extraordinary challenge 

That get caught between boroughs that was very hard to balance 

Where the shots got louder, witnesses kept silent 

Through those 12 terrain days of the summer, that stay violent 

Soldiers that'll grill, to the boss' desire 

Captivated by the idea of speed and quick to fire 

Rushed, his orders came in a commanding tone 

Carried out, executed within a, battle zone 

Action, spoke louder than words, that made him walk 

Cuz these kids had came with more music, than less talk 

Thinkin' that they was bigger than U.S. Steel 

They couldn't close a deal, without a cap to peel 

But once the act of fear, is exceptionally calm 

With unanswered questions, what harms the firearm 

It beats killing the counter, horrific in it's own way 

A groundbreaking case, that lasted for another day 



[Chorus: GZA] 

This is the city of fast money, expensive cars, topless bars 

Movie stars and executives with fat cigars 

Record labels that ain't stable, with low appraisals 

And the lie that burn bridges due to fragile cables 



[GZA] 

Write off that unpredictable things could happen 

Well aware of the sudden danger, we start scrapping 

Violence can erupt within the blink of an eye 

As a three night reign of terror, light up the skies 

Other uprisings are in the years of making 

The young start sizing up the hood, and get to taking 

A high voltage power line, surrounds the gold mine 

Soldiers on the front line, who sell dimes and hold nines 

Many times enjoying themselves, much too much 

They hit the clutch, before they pull out on such and such 

It's a very unforgiving environment, cuz one out of two 

Can get an early retirement, for many different reasons 

The tale of the tape, is uneven 

What they perceive as a prank, had stopped them from breathing 

He was known to run towns, and brutally gun down 

He said it was a great risk for him to be around 



[Chorus]
