RZA - Mantis lyrics

Your rating:

[martial arts movie sample]
 The technique  depends mainly
 on arm and finger strength
 Once you've that  then the next step
 is to learn how to pierce stone
 Well you might as well start practicing now
 Do you Do you Do you Do you
 Do you know  mantis legends?
 How it was it all started?
 It was fighting off this blackbird
 Although it was only a tenth of the bird's size
 it was a very valiant insect
 And that's why the technique, needs a brave man
 And a strong one, who isn't afraid of birds

 [Bobby Digital]
 Welcome back to the temple of hip-hop and Sword Kem'po
 Lyrical rhyme nympho, b-boy Bob Digital
 Diamond crystal ring solid gold bone rituals
 We be the humble most calmest individuals
 Hard to spot microdots, we Sasquatch
 Stomp MC's, third eye Cyclops lazer beam shots
 being fired once the father get raised up
 We John Blaze up, abrasive heat, from the phaser gun
 Never left for a stun Dunn, Atilla the Hun
 type Killa Park Hilla, eighteen wheeler Mack's
 in the truck lanes, from the rugged grains
 of Shaolin soil, the red wolves be prowlin
 Howlin over the shit that got the whole world bowin
 We spoiled, one thousand swordsmen
 One thousand recordings, one thousand Wu stores and
 One thousand rap tours and global insurance
 Not your everyday occurance
 My rhyme torments MC's with the fear of God
 You'll be cursed like Farad, and struck by the iron rod
 Tchka-tchka-tchka-tchka-tchka-tchka-POW

 Chorus: Tekitha

 Hell's Wind Staff, the wrath of Black Titans
 Niggaz battlin, sword swingin
 Cutthroat women, whirlwind given save the children
 Escape the poverty for live and, let live
 Die by the mic, shadow steel by night
 (repeat 2X)

 [movie dialogue]
 Man-Mantis style isn't easy to learn
 A mantis is small, but powerful
 With it's arms, it can lift up many times it's own weight

 [Masta Killa]
 On behalf of the Wu-Tang Clan I'll display
 the Hong Kong, Shaolin King Kong poems
 Slaps niggaz in half from Kwan'tan
 Ten tigers scratch like Allah math, the Hell's Wind Staff
 Watch the eight diagram strike the diaphragm
 Pierced lung minute from tongue double-edged
 sound the drum, here I come as predicted
 Holdin the raw seal, all heads kneel
 7th Degree black mic skill is ill, listen to the guns holler
 Swallow the shell, East New York terrorist
 Break fool to this, madness, crazy low-hand
 grabs the mic stand, smooth as water
 Spat Seven Seas you've not yet mastered
 Breathe and lungs wheeze, Earth kills
 I'm wreckin MC's, blood spills, meadow is round
 The piercin sound of Shaolin's deafens ears
 Fires fears, wood sharp eagle claw tears
 tree from bark, hard to maintain control
 When you leakin I stand with the strength of Jobe
 and hold pleasure that I bust your head, while I'm teachin
 civilization, one havin Knowledge
 Wisdom Understanding, cultural firemen
 Knowledge savage in pursuit of happiness
 Thunderous mantis, all chant this
