Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version


Snakes


Now number two practiced the snake style
He was known as the snake spirit
He had the speed of a snake

[Killah Priest]
Niggaz is like serpents out there
Serpents will bite
They outside, and then they roll back into they holes
They slither in the streets of Brooklyn, New York
Slither in the streets of Manhattan
In the streets of Queens, streets of the Bronx
Streets of Staten Island
Wherever you see em they slither
Whoever... yo
On some shit... check it out
Yo, yo

It broke me up when they pat me on my shoulder
Said stay strong cause his life is now over
I flash back to the heathens that he roll with
They shot him up and now nobody knows shit
My peers Little Ears
He came up to me with a eye full of tears
Last night we was shootin dice and gettin nice
Kid rolled us, played us for our merchandise
We were in the hallway all day
Me, Steve, and Little Ray
Probably at first they tried to rob me
Pat me in the lobby, pull out the shotty
Then came Scotty, fragile body
My first impression he returned from a party
He was just stagger smellin like Bacardi
The Dragon, braggin how he was fuckin mad hotties
Pressed on the elevator button, and all of a sudden
He licked off, about a dozen
Slugs from the cannon that ripped through my cousin
No one was standin when the nigga started bustin
Blood started to flood the floors by the elevator door
That's the last thing that I saw
Damn, we plan to make grands and buy homes
(Number two)

[RZA]
The jagged edge, wise as God, hard as Stonehenge
Pledged whoever crossed his path gets cracked with a sledge
Hammer, he didn't give a damn about the manner
And on the block he was called by the mommas and the grandmoms
Indecent, heathen, juvenile delinquent
His weekends was frequently locked inside the precinct
His most recent cape for catchin papes
Was snatchin up snakes on a roof butt-naked hang em off like drapes
Then ask what's the combination to the safe with the brace
And those who didn't reply they fell straight to their face
Razor blade sharp who invades the dark
And raid more spots than Spays and narcs
Iron heart like Tony Starks
A fierce lion, who never leave the crib without the iron
And on the block he be slingin rocks and duckin from the sirens
Greetin niggaz he loved with a pound and a bear hug
Those who wanted life, they catch a slug from the snub
A Five Percent, tho all knew was one to ten
He loved the Gods with his heart but his brain was filled with sin
And when he came through niggaz be lookin out
Hopin he get shot or tooken out
Or locked the fuck up in Brooklyn House
In PC, on a liquid diet, but he was louder than a riot
(Number two, the snake)

[Masta Killa]
Do the knowledge to a nigga named Trigga
Bad rude boy from the lands of Jamaica
With visions to venture to the U.S.
To receive the gold that he couldn't acheive
In his country even though he sold mad weed
For the next man who was the Don of the clan
Niggaz actin like they got the block locked
Like I can't sling drug raps and eat food
But I be the rudest bad boy steppin gun totin
Shots lash out like a violent explosion
At the nigga, who tries to stop my production
Intervene the scene and slow up the CREAM
None of that black East New York gun talk
Niggaz I extort from Baltic to Boardwalk
Memories of injuries wounds and burns
Walkin through the streets of Medina I stand firm
Cause I know this which means I can hold mine down
Without a doubt, niggaz who front get snuffed out
Justice must be born there's no escape
Cause a snake can't be reformed so why wait
Comin in the name to proclaim your fame for protection
And you don't know no fuckin lessons?!
(Number two, the snake)

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]
Bad bad Leroy Brown
Baddest man in the whole damn town
Badder than the deep blue seeaaaa
Badder than you and meeeeee
Niggaz comin thru the trees like a salamander bitin
Like a piranha
But I'm bitin you back
Like a black pantha
The style I'm ampin the...
Fuck my name, who I be?
Fuck the game
It's all about the moneyyyy!
Owahherrah, sometimes I get high with the Meth
Then I turn to the Killah Priest
When it comes TWELVE O'CLOCK!!
I turns into the demon beast

[Ol' Dirty Bastard & Buddah Monk]
Yo yo fuck that shit!
(Number two, the snake)
YO! SHOW THESE MOTHERFUCKERS WHAT TIME IT IS!!!
(Number two, the snake) Rawwrarrrah
Rahhwarwaahauh, rawwaroar!!
WHO'S THE BADDEST? *rawharrah*
WHO'S THE BADDEST?
(Now number two) Rawwwaahrah
(He practiced the snake style) WHO! WHO!!
(He was known as the snake spirit) YEAHhhhhh

[Buddah Monk]
Lyrics, never waitin, for days, consecrated
When I come with the roughness mad niggaz try to rush this
Slip into my killings, then I slays and you're helpless
When I try to stay sick, it's yacub grafted six
Calm for the kill, lyric style that's ill
When I drop lyric skills brothers say Buddah chill

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]
I don't need to rhyme no more, niggaz know, yo
To all the Wu-Tang Clan members
The Ghostface Killah, the GZA, the RZA, the Ol' Dirty Bastard
The Method Man, the Chef Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, U-God
Yo...
