Uncontrolled Substance

{*evil laughter*}

[la the darkman]
Yeah, ins, yo
It's la the darkman
Hit 'em with the death blow

Yo, i'm known to spit poems, throw dices and hold tones
Show ice, puff bones, hit beats like larry holmes
Through the valley of kings, you catch the killa bee sting
Tryin to pick up, you fuckin with the arch bishop
Defyin me is like startin rap world war 3
You rather sell your key to nypd
My style's vicious, i rap in the lab and break dishes
My words wear jet black hoods, lookin suspicious

[beretta 9]
Behold the struggle fire ultra harmonizer, the track paralyzer
Ought to see the real, blood spilled on the synthesizer
Yo 4th, turn it up a peak, make the speaker tweet
Iron sheik camel clutch a beat, rappers take your seats
In fact punch a clock, it's my time to rock, dock the known like a scott
Engineered this thought that i present, strugglin to comprehend
While i fill you in with a bar of tin
And clear the god sin, do em in kid

[killa sin]
I stay lurkin, circlin the premises
Dart chemist on the search, my arch nemesis
Concotin nuerotoxins out of synonyms
Send your physical in triple shock
Crippled in a detox, with no rememberance
Well i rocks the shows with the minimum
Capacity to pack the front row and flow naturally
Killin 'em, swing on the stage like jagged pendulums
And blow like dirty schrapnel grenades with now pins in em

[street life]
Why risk it? killah hill district, we flip shit
Egotistic, i hold grounds with twin biscuits
Put it up, i lay it down, my streets sound surround
Shaolin bound, flash flood watch you might drown
Headliner, move through the city like a sidewinder
Island drifter, black vagina finder
Loungin by the sea seashore, switch like bloody raw
And slap hardcore dick to your main wiz, bitch

[inspectah deck]
Toxi' on bacardi pina, low crawlin through medina
Slumped in the seven-seater, thumpin heaters
The bite might cause seizures, weak mc's take me to your leader
We the true source, movin off on uncharted course
My thoughts come across with the blindin force
Killa bees plant seeds, slide north
Or get knocked of like a pawn if you dare lock on

[outro: inspectah deck]
You are now in the 9th chamber
Where the falls of reality closin fast
On the world of make-believe
And your fantasy is nothin more than a memory
Now bear witness to the realness
Showin and provin, we live by the sword...

[intro: inspectah deck]
Uh, yea.
In my time, i've seen a lot of people come and go.
A lot of new faces, been to a lot of new places.
Wherever we went, we always held it down.
While we conquered new grounds. it's a universal sound.
The witty unpredictable talent and natural game.
Yo...

[chorus (x2): inspectah deck]
Not many last in the game
Wu-tang come through, breakin out the same way we came
This is not an act, this is actual facts
Nothin but experience placed upon the tracks

[inspectah deck]
We stand perpendicular with no flaws
Breakin all laws, plus jaws, the writin's on the walls
Heartless, starvin artists, out to get our's
Regardless, marvelous doctrics, we shot this
Fist of the black lotus, bustin out the steel cage
Iron mic duel made the front page
Outlaws, out for your's, get down on all fours
Rebel with a cause, without a force to the score
Pillagin with 'donna cap's, the personna raps
Hittin like a quarter back, blistered on the track
Fully-auto, cop the mic blow, strike low
High-caliber flow move the crowd, twist your torso
2009, block party, bobby digital, pop corks to us
And the god's we trust, it's adjust
To the highs that we bring with the lows
And the mr. hell speakin out in morse code
Runnin wild like dogs out the kennel through the venue
Simple chemistry, vitamins plus the minerals
Organic vowels, consonants, syllables
Condition critical, ill individual
Paint a picture too vivid for the visual
Material rips through to the gristle

[chorus (x2)]

[u-god]
Yo, the measures in my music grab you, stuck in my sentence
Got to spit from the bottom less pit, speakin my vengeance
Masked avenger never surrender my heritage
Killah hill resident, 5'10" be my measurement
On land we stand under flags as confederates
You think you rule, pitty the fool when the shell drops
Hot bodies scream to the extreme, damn, i'm delicate
We livin irrevant, intelligent, dirty habit
Lake full of fragments, abandon all 10 commandments
Damage is done as the records spins, hatred in my features
Untamed, thus these cold blooded creatures bust
Architect gladiator radiates the power
Erupt with corrupt minds, locked in the tower
The crook's pressure cooked invasion be destroyed
Self-employed paranoid androids

[inspectah deck]
My rhyme cold winds clear streets and slams shutters
Basic instinct to tear the roof off the mother
Drastic verbal gymnastics, far from the average
Hold the planet like galactus
Lone ranger ancester scroll with zone bangers
Never met a force deadly as my own anger
Clutched performer, raised on the blood soaked corners
A real life with real tight feds, they brain on ya
And not many last on

[chorus: sample, (inspectah deck)]
The power of god's in you (show and prove)
The power of god's in you (show and prove)
The power of god's in you (show and prove)
True, the time has come through
Chose the few, must show and prove

[intro: inspectah deck *in the the background of the chorus*]
Yea, this is the power, true power
Showin and provin

[inspectah deck]
I once asked god to forgive for my sins
Bent on my knees pleadin to be heavenly cleansed
Said the holy ghost changed the ways and actions of men
When i stood, i felt the same as if i just walked in
I was twelve at the time, held nines, held mines
A frail mind, criminal thoughts well-designed
Then the older gods put me on, on how to rock this
Maintain, 360, lord and live prosperous
His jewel was priceless, keep the cypher righteous
Bare in mind, god, some of your own won't like this
I'm mentally scarred, recooperatin from abrasure
Fooled by interpretations made from a traitor
It's in my nature, i was taught, that's the first law
Obtain the food, clothin and the shelter that i search for
The fire in my eyes is hot as earth's core
What hurts more, the fact that we still dirt poor
In hard times force crimes out of honest man
And most fiend to see the so-called promised land
Sun of man, knowledge, wisdom and understand
That it's time to take matters in our own hands

[chorus]

[inspectah deck]
The wicked ways of the world can't escape sin
I'm facin masses gun on the plantation
Seen source from home yet i'm still caved in
Cuz 9000 miles is such a long way to swim
And many die tryin to survive the next mile
Famillies was raised as slaves and exiled
I learned it as a child, knowledge be the key
To unlock your brain and set your mindstate free
It's true, the times come through, chose the few
Show and prove, the power of god's in you
Or remain a savage in pursuit of happiness
Who lacks jewels, love and peace completes the package
The fact is five out a hundred know the truth
The wisdom might blow the roof when shown and proved

[chorus]

[inspectah deck]
Through the course of time, we was dumb, deaf and blind
Now we on the incline, build with one mind
Came a long way, but, yo, we still far behind
So, uplift the mind, god, rise and shine
I speak to the black-bellied yellow seeds
My fellow breed all races, colors and creeds
Search for the knowledge, use science and math
And be queens and kings like the centuries past
The devil tried to fool my people, said we was equal
But i believe him when my culture sees freedom
You beat 'em with the positive thoughts, you don't need em
Leave him in the dirt, let the blood suckers see him

[chorus to fade]

* multiple gunshots *

[intro: inspectah deck]
Yo, when we do this, we do it for real
We do it for the love, we do it for the money
For the cash, for the women, the birds
We do it for the foundation, for the people
No matter how we do it, we do it for the cause
Yea, yo

[chorus: inspectah deck]
What you in for? what you live for?
What you die for? i hope its for the cause
..
What you work for? what you stand for?
What you strive for? i hope its for the cause

[inspectah deck]
Inspectah, rhyme beretta nine in ya sector
Wet the scenery with extreme measures
Supreme lecture, bless the heads, you dare enter
The 9th chamber, dance with the mind bender
Surrender your thrown, there's no room for pretenders
Bystander pollyin worldwide with nine members
Distributin, my verbal sharp shootin
While i execute the deadliest moves with fine tunin
Duel of the iron mic bound to spark fusion
Movin at the speed of light, nice at what i'm doin
Drop it in ya brain like spice, without the five mics
Heads roll off hilltops when i strike
Sniper aim, stick you up for your price of fame
Like the flame, watch you get hot inside the game
Recognize my name, i.n.s., your highness
I rep for live sets, place ya bets, make ya threats
There's no cure, even the experts are stunned
My work is done as soon as i've just begun *echo*

[chorus]

[streetlife]
Strictly, streetlife, i never play a fan of the fame
Just build on my name, and master the slang
I'm hittin harder than a lot of artists in the game
I'm lyrically inclined, rockin just the same
Than any mc who ship platinum or gold
And only recoup to pay back what you sold
Over budget your video, got pimped like a hoe
My niggas move slo-mo like robotic clones
I'd rather be alive and paid, than dead broke
My life is like a thin line, on a tight rope
A fiend with no dope, wrong way to provoke
The man behind the scope, tucked, ready to smoke
>from the same place you from, different hood, the same slum
Mother's third seed, father's first son
Bastard child runnin wild, livin foul
Ran into some juvenile niggas in design
P.l.o. style, sign my name on the dotten line
Your beef is mine, dangerous minds combine, we all carry nines *echo*

[chorus]

[inspectah deck]
Hitman like thomas hurns, bustin while the weed burns
Shorty, sixteen, yearns for my crew to take turns
I'm a loose cannon, medically examined
Found deadly as a plague, soon to spread like famine
Splurgin, livin out the dirty version
Throwin rocks at the ghetto birds circlin the urban
Workin overtime, you notice the shine
Niggas scope mine, models won't work capone nine

[streetlife]
We travel in pairs, you got the front, i watch the rear
Got money on my mind this year, by all means
Put an end to your cold stairs, crush your small dreams
What you hear is the truth, fuck what you used to
I provide you with street music you can ride to
Push through, sound blastin through the sun roof
Street surfer, lurkin, thirsty for the loot
I'm in it to fuck fans and rock mic stands
I work for cash and fans, and die for the clan

[inspectah deck]
Yo, yo, late night, her click deserted
Time is perfect, she worth it
Femme fetale, pussy cat growl like eartha kitt
The first kiss, took my heart and nursed it
Looked her deep into the eyes, she realized beneath the surface
Infatuated lip servant, black afrodeziat
Cat walked across the floor, her bedroom eyes glanced back
She posed with the playboy pose, centerfold body rose through her clothes
My love joves rose, the stereo blow, scenario
The lights slow, the hydros rose, 2 totes without the nympho
We went slow, romantic interlude in the nude
Soul food, dinner for 2, private interview
Silent moans whisper, the bed's bound to break
Pretty brown face, i thought i felt the ground shake
The sound of the rain against the window pane
Drove her insane, her wild heart has now been tamed
Got half a blunt flipped in the train, waitin to inhale
Female packed the banger like she been in jail
As we lay, reflectin on the sweet seduction
A brief interuption occured, her man busted in

*beat switches to a slow '70's soul beat*

[unknown '70's soul singer sample]
You said you was mine now (x4)

*beat switches back*

[inspectah deck]
Femme fetale, pussy cat growl like eartha kitt
I'm takin chances, but can't resist how she worked it
She loved it too, left a stamp with my 'w' (what?)
Your other dude got you vexed, call, i'm comin through
Your spot is hot, i did not, reconsider
It's not the nigga she had, but it's the way she had niggaz
Now, i'm tangled, caught up in her love triangle
Love it on the sideline, remind when i came through
I blame you, the reason that the flame grew
She threw the pussy like steve young from all angles
Character on the ankle, made niggaz break fool
The power u will trank you, but i remain cool
Yo, i'm showin her love, but it's the fellings i'm avoidin
She was pretty as a wild flower, sweet as poison
Poison will the skull and cross bone, spoke in soft tones
Red bone, both hands wore stones
Plus she home alone, temptin for me to eat the tension
No need to mention, i know, your man's got you tremblin
You feelin threatened, jettin when she needed attention
So, now she give your highness most honorable mention
Femme fetale, pussy cat growl like eartha kitt
Femme fetale, pussy cat growl like eartha kitt
Femme fetale, pussy cat growl like eartha kitt
Femme fetale, pussy cat growl like eartha kitt
I'm takin chance, but can't resist how she worked it

[inspectah deck]
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the lyrical grand prix
We have our drivers racin for a $3,000,000 purse
Winner takes all, gentlemen start your engines...

Give me room, hit the tune
Feature presentation comin soon, early june
Killa bee platoon, well groomed
Spells doom, raise the volume
You react like a werewolf in a full moon
With the force of a trojan horse
Pushin, flowin, have your seatbelt fastened
We blastin into orbit, wu restore the new chamber
Wu-banger number 9, expert precision and design
Mastermind the plan took a matter of time
>from the confinds of the cold world i shine
It's amazin, the grace, changin in the place
Blazin the brakes, invadin your space
Which remains in the race, claimin first place
Raisin the stakes, it's a game to disgrace
I hold many jewels, drop more than i wear
I come in peace, prepare for the warfare
The invincible fold, when they're caught in the square
And the talk mad shit when the coast is clear

Yes, ladies and gentlemen
We've just completed the first lap

[street life]
Blood kin, knowledge, knowledge, i build with rap scholars
Guns and wallets, prowess, staten island stylist
12 men roster, live long, prosper
Street philosopher, you end up like jimmy hoffa
Ain't a damn thing changed but the aim, bullet range
Strange universe, i was nursed to blow your mainframe
Think first, convert, all verse live in concert
Pull a skirt, burst, while y'all niggaz star search
Mind your's, why you eyein mines for
Posin like a matten dog, i must got somethin you wanna die for
Touch mine, reach him up, his headline, both grant
9 inch rusty splint push through your nose is vent
Got my eyes on the grand prize, place your bet
Watch me win it by a landslide, pull off an upset
Hold the burner close by my hands and my pocket
Hold the trophy high and keep my eyes on the prophet

[inspectah deck]
And a new driver has entered the contest
Ladies and gentlemen, driver number 99
In the red car...

[u-god]
Fog lights beam, car 99 supreme
A high-powered machine spits sparks of baroline
The smell of gasoline, motor roar, the crowd roars
The rag tuck rip, box cut caught in my jaws
Enforcin my laws, rap mirage in my garage
The grease lightnin, dusty rose, shake him, bon voyage
Now duel of the iron, flyin fued for you writers
The speed demon, rebel talk, triggers, freedom fighters
Was tracked in the cock pit, i'm writin exact
I'm crushin corners, who that kid ridin the track
With the wu helmet, 6th nigga, 5 cars track
The last but not least, i bliss through the scrimmage
No brakes, i dart, i'm racin for the finish
Understand my hunger for my land down under
It's the thunderous rush, after the sounds get crush
The purse snatchin pound, by all means snatch cream
Tear your ass out of town

[inspectah deck]
As we near the final lap
Team wu-tang seems to be buildin
A sizeable lead on the competition

Yo, i know how to fold 'em like kenny rogers
Popular demand, overstand these pirahnas
Movin on the track like a monaco gt
I stand out similar to 3d on your tv
Easily breezin watchin the speed dial climb
Style of rhyme, left the foes miles behind
Leavin skid marks on the charts
Aimed at the hearts of the fake, sparked on the tapes
It's starts from the gate, darts penetrate
Freestyle as the decoy to sharpen the bait
Holdin major weight, my supreme team dominates
Circulatin, takin all bets you plates
In and out of state, twirlin l's on the freeway
Ny to sc, nc to va, ga to md, ca to ky
Fl to il, tx to mi

As we near the checkered flake, ladies and gentlemen
Team wu-tang's holdin down the 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions
And it looks like it's goin to be another sure win for team wu-tang
As they take home another pot of gold with this $3,000,000 purse
Rebel ins, u-god, street life

Get the loot, get the loot
Cash money y'all, cash money y'all, cash money y'all

[inspectah deck]
Check out the avenue, new york, new york the rotten apple
We grapple in the streets to stack loot and slip the shackles
I'm currently, servin twenty-nine to life
Duckin the searchlight, no sleep for like the third night
The big life is trife, got the young kids hyped
Cops shoot on sight, heat pipe be blowin through the night
The land where you ain't fam, there's no pity
Similar to chocolate city, ten times gritty
Hittin hard, liquor's god, niggaz plottin on the come off
And come off, quicker than the clothes on the stripper
And slide like she doin up and down the railing
Bitch tailing in the range with golden arms smooth sailin
The clock's tickin, somebody's on the block snitchin
The plot thickens, phones are tapped, cops listen
Too hot for prison, plus too cold to hold my girl
Cause i married this life and she's my whole world

Chorus: {unknown singer}

It's just a sign of the times
Calmly listen - to these lines..
I'm goin out of my mind
Livin - the street life..

[inspectah deck]
Aiyyo, aiyyo
Make me wanna holla way they do my life
My life, is like a carousel one endless night
Where most die for pies, some holdin their chrome
A large percent die for causes not even their own
When the inspectah deck be long dead and gone
Long live the ins clone they workin on
Til then, i hold a section, i stand alone no co-defendant
Showin the weapon, this saga had no story endin
It's ghetto heaven, and at the same time hell - shots propel
The one that missed me got chanel
In the future ruled by computer, i self tutor
The music is the simulator, facin the user
I do it for those who walk the same road
And no regrets do i hold for the path i chose
No sleep since the intro, patrol the windows
I reminisce, with the chalice and my eyes half closed
If i could do it again, i'd probably do it the same
Thought i was through with the game, i'm goin through it again
The hood life, i'm in it to the limit
Couldn't quit it for a digit, die for it cause i live it

Chorus

[inspectah deck]
Yo, been around the world but just can't seem to leave
The state of mind that causes tangled web i weave
Made my home in the heart of it
Move like seagal, "hard target"
Most want no part of it, it's logic
Cutthroat party in the shark pit
Cold blooded souls carry bulldogs and oxes, knowledge this
Maintain and remain sane
In the cold world where the rules ain't changed
Still rebel to society, government be eyein me
They probably watchin me right now as i'm speakin
But all i'm guilty of is teachin you the truth
They got proof, so you know i'll be home before the weekend
The hood life, i'm in it to the limit
In it from the scrimmage, livin it, lovin every minute
And every hour, til the powers that be
Eventually stress me to the death

"y'all know the science right?"
"death with the intellect"
"aight.. aight.."
"represent, i make it hot"
"13th.. chamber.. specialist.. from the bricks"

Chorus

{unknown singer}
Street life.. so trife..
Street life.. for life..
Feels like.. feels like..
My paradiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiise..

"yeah y'all.. uh-huh.." (7x to fade)
