Feeling is very important.

Hip hop is a culture.

But some of us wasn't necessarily born

in the blast radius of where it started from.

But when you felt it and you heard it for the first time,

it gave you a feeling.

That's what it is all about, a feeling.

So yo, right now we're going to do a song

that we feel invokes a feeling.

In America today, people think they know the way of the soul.

De la is on the road.

They can clear the hate.

Behind the line of inner fire, we explain this time and time.

Daisies don't mean anything.

Daisies don't mean a fucking thing.

But the word itself when broken up wears just a larger pat.

D-A stands for T-H-E. I is thinner.

S is sap.

Y is y'all.

The inner sound will help you breathe.

But still we swore to help the South when we have to explain.

Yeah.

The legendary De La Soul.

Make some noise.

Three is a magic number.

Party people.

This song is dedicated to our brother, David Jolicoeur.

Somewhere in the ancient mystic--

Music breaks in three parts.

Casually doing soul.

Rest in peace to my brother Dave.

Everybody, welcome to the New York State of Mind tour.

Get ready for the Wu-Tang clan.

One, two, one, two.

One, two, one motherfucking two.

Let me tell y'all the story.

It was in 1986 before we had ever made a hit.

I was still in my crib, late at night.

I was trying to make my beats come out tight like bang, bang.

Then I felt this sound.

Bang bang.

And it shook the ground.

Bang bang.

It was that Wu-Tang sound.

Bang bang.

And we chose to shoot them now.

Let me tell y'all what happened.

You are now in a New York state of mind.

RAPPER: Welcome.

Welcome.

Yeah.

He looks determined about being ruthless.

Something's heroic.

There's a courage.

Doesn't look like it, though.

Comes across so confident.

Acts like he has a dream, or a passion.

You don't trust me, huh?

You know, boy.

I'm supposed to trust everyone.

Yeah.

Continue the fly shit.

Everybody, light your motherfucking reefer.

Grown folks only.

One of the illest.

Matter of fact, one of the greatest.

I know him very well.

It's my brother.

What's up, guys?

Seattle, what up?

Through the lights, cameras, and glamour, glitters,

and gold, I Unfold the scroll.

Plant seeds to stampede the globe.

Deceased-- by then, the beast will rise like yeast.

Conquer peace, leaving savages running the streets.

Live on the run.

Police paying me to give them my gun.

Trick my wisdom with the system that imprison my son.

Smoke a gold leaf.

Hold heat nonchalantly.

Raunchy, things I do is real, it never haunts me.

Wow.

Funny style, people roll in the pile.

Roster heads profile on a bus to Rikers Isle.

Holding weed inside their pussy with their minds.

Pretty things in life.

Props is a true thug's wife.

It's like a cycle.

Niggas come home.

Some'll go in.

Do a bullet, come back, do the same thing again.

From the womb to the tomb, presume the unpredictable.

Guns salute life rapidly.

That's the ritual.

Raekwon, the chef.

Yeah.

White God.

We can see it through the eyes.

Ghostface, what up?

Kilos disintegrate.

Pyrex pots we break.

Fiends licking plates.

Now in the building, niggas building.

Little children staring.

Them older niggas ain't caring.

Sirens circling fiends, lurking in your baggage.

One, one's gone. Now what?

Smack him in his cabbage.

In the woodwork, crack cells bubble like Woolworth.

The project, real niggas rocking all the real worth.

Police questioning, rooftop cats investing in,

trading in their Lexuses, sending messages.

2 and 2 makes 4, Cristals crazily pour.

Gun wars, my crew phantom like swords.

RAPPER: Green leathers, 100 pound snakes and cakes.

Fiends found in legs.

Jealousy Jake.

What I strive for is what I live for.

Infatuated by material things, and it's wild.

Life for war.

Like somewhere over the rainbow, see a big pot of gold.

Future stacks, so I hold hold.

Thousands of cracks bagged inside a shoe box.

Don't keep jack in my lap.

- Don't want to see Tupac. - Got two stops--

Rest in peace.

--flooded with rocks.

Shootouts making me hot.

Crooked cops, Bad Tony--

And it's all dropped.

In the now, banging niggas for slide time.

Hurry up, Duke. - I'm next.

Show them mine.

And what the fuck is you looking at?

By the way, young blood, hit me off with that Seattle hat.

Watch your back inside the hall.

New niggas slide through like doors.

Yo. - They staring in the mess hall.

The aderenaline runs.

Cigarette niggas is swindling, new jacks surrendering.

Come home not remembering.

Made bail, different size kicks on.

White dress shirt, looking weak in the yard.

And you got hurt.

Flashbacks of the day room, mop ringer style.

Got bashed.

Trying to turn the dial.

You told your boo you was whyling.

Once you heard Wu out of the blue--

Yeah.

High class crooks throw on vestest.

Out of phonebook.

Infirmary niggas are screaming--

I got drugs.

Sharpen toothbrushes, 190 mixed with baby oil and shit.

Your man's in the kitchen stashing-- come on!

And I'm a end it with a big red cherry on top.

Me, Nas, and Rae got the best product on the block.

My whole team is eating off of this good shit.

Good shit, nigga.

Next time, overlook shit.

Keep your eyes open and your wallet in front.

Chef, Chef and Nas, niggas, is the prophet.

What up, baby?

Ha ha ha.

Make some noise for the greatest rapper alive right

here.

I love this--

Make some fucking noise.

The two greatest rappers ever.

Give it up for the greats.

Nas, y'all.

I can't wait to get back to Seattle.

It's no city like it.

Let's go into it.

Oh!

This is a letter to all kings and all queens.

Yeah, you see, you see, I made the fade famous, chain famous.

QB on the chest, match the stainless.

Amazing Grace, I'm gracefull aging without masonry.

More paper to play with.

No rap in my playlist.

Sold dimes on my day shift.

So can I speak?

Can I talk?

Can I breathe?

Can I walk?

Can I floss without you wanting me outlined in chalk?

Family gossiping, pocket watching him.

Jealousy keeps blossoming.

Don't let it box me in.

If you ever heard the "King's Disease" albums,

you can just bob your head.

That's all I need.

Real shit.

I used to be at The Tunnel, 20 deep in the huddle.

Razors on us that makes skin bubble.

Moet, we guzzle.

Chris Lighty let me in with nines.

That's on God.

Wish you would have walked by and bumped me hard or just

looked at me wrong.

My chain on. Book me.

You gone.

Goons, Italian leathers, couple bottles of Dom.

Took risk.

This ain't what you want.

There's rules to this.

Don't get it misconstrued.

My suit game is crisp.

Silk, linen, chiffon, Dior to Diadora.

But I rock custom more.

RAPPER: Yeah.

The hustle aura-- tap in.

Razor cutter, '90s, '80s lover, raised in gutters.

Raised above it.

They made it up out the hood subject.

I made you love it.

Crazy.

I knew this girl who had a blue Benz.

If you know the song, just bob your head.

Oh.

Yes, true story shit.

Come on.

In Kingston, Jamaica, where veteran kingpins bought acres.

Rest in peace, Louis Rankin.

Original Don Dada.

Rest in peace to Louis Rankin, a Jamaican godfather.

Turn it.

Turn it up.

Turn it up.

Spicy shit.

Yeah, boss shit.

Your lordship used to run the block.

Now I'm corporate.

What happened now?

You know it's Nas when the doors lift.

Whole squad hide the burners.

Mets hat in the sky lay Bobby Shmurda.

They watch me like a chip courtside at The Rucker.

Flow only getting tougher.

She begging me to cuff her.

Brooklyn Sweet Chick waffles with raspberry butter.

Rock a mink in a roller rink, middle of the summer.

If I can't get it done, soldiers with me to cover.

Queens get the money.

Yeah, yeah.

Upward space get pricy.

Get spicy.

She on demon time.

I got her a timepiece.

Patek.

She not lit, not lightly.

Can't get nothing by me.

My mind in 2090.

Que lo que, everybody pricey.

Cost money, beat the charge money.

Fast money push to start money.

Big money, Escobar money.

Uh.

Somebody make some noise in the building.

Where my OGs at?

OGs.

OG talk.

RAPPER: Yeah.

Project halls, where a nigger seen it all.

RAPPER: For real, for real.

I can see niggas are sly.

I'd better show them the ropes.

Integrity matters the most.

I give the hood hope.

yeah, I gave the hood classics, something to open your mind

instead of going out crashing.

How would you feel when you hate the real?

My nigga, I'm simply asking.

Can't just go up out the plan.

Ain't no pity party for yourself.

You got to get up, rise for your wealth.

Can't spend on that time in your feelings.

Sympathize with yourself.

Don't nobody owe you.

Ain't nobody holding you back.

You're stuck in illusions, attached to something

that ain't even that.

South beach, Nassau, Maldives, same beach.

Unless you are after something that most men can't see.

Shorty off the block, shorty off the runway, same freak.

They all got the answers.

We all got the same key.

OG talk.

I pray we all live to be OGs.

You know, crime, drugs violence.

40 side.

Out of all of this, you got to look for the positive.

OG talk.

Yeah!

This tour is rare.

Your man right here?

A rare.

To everybody out there, we are rare.

Oh, oh.

KD2.

I feel like it's my birthday every day.

Yo, yo.

I'm in rare form.

Niggas speak down on my name like I wasn't here for them.

Talk about back in the days.

This isn't back in the days.

They want me back at my ways.

Chipped tootha nd the fade.

Nah.

See, musically, I'm on Mars walking all over the beat,

putting my feet on the stars.

I rock it like Lenny, thinking like Jimi the first time

he seen the guitar.

Standing in front of where they shot Ahmaud and said

we got to know who we are.

Yeah.

I'm in rare form wearing rare Jordans

straight from Air Jordan.

This is fair warning.

Too many of y'all beef over nothing.

When you get money, you know that it's

coming, tainted homies.

Where you at Seattle?

Let's go!

Oh!

I got my arm to the back.

Y'all already know where we going with the stats.

Hall of Fame only, kings and queens only.

They all be grabbing my style.

But you know they can't hold me.

Yo.

Somebody make some noise in here!

[CHEERING]

Talk that.

Yo.

My thumb struck a lot of lighters, pulled

a lot of all-nighters, banned from some after hour spots,

crew would choose violence, move in silence.

Who knew I'd grow to build an empire?

Streets had me against the ropes.

Yeah.

TEC's on the dresser, money on tech, pushing a Tesla.

Rolled up a fresh one.

It's one IPO to the next one.

Rich from corporate or thugging, expensive mistakes.

It's all a racket, it's the same thing, just the risk

that you take.

Moving too fast, losing your ass.

Boys came through with the task.

Peep through the blinds, you knew it was curtains.

Breadwinner took an L, the whole family hurting.

Seen it a million times, system washed

him out with the verdict.

Oh.

So I'm clean as a whistle.

Yes.

Drinking premium liquor in between two

Argentinian sisters.

They counting up for me until their fingers get blisters.

What I blew that on?

I cannot seem to remember.

The world is yours!

Oh!

Yeah.

Which album is this?

KD II?

- KD II. - All right.

Let's keep going.

Let's keep going.

Let's keep going.

If you ever heard King's Disease II,

this one is called Death Row East.

True story now.

Bounce, bounce, bounce.

Right back at this.

Right back. - Right back.

Right back.

Hold up, whoa.

High on life, drunk off dark liquor.

Shit getting eerie like I threw on Thriller.

Bitch I'm a hard hitter, Rolex clocks

and killers holding the order.

I'm praying God delivers.

I have run-ins with Suga.

Niggas would have been shook.

At the height of the beef they started Death Row East.

Damn.

I even saw they tees on some of my Gs.

Notorious label, the story was made in the streets.

The story was made in the streets.

True story.

The story was made in the streets.

The story was made in the streets.

Death Row East.

Which album is this?

Oh, we on Magic.

If you know about Magic I, what up?

This one right here is called, It's Ugly Outside,

written off real experiences.

Let's go.

It's ugly.

Get ugly.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's ugly outside.

It's foggy.

It's money outside.

105 Fahrenheit, thunderous skies.

The cloud's shape a clown face about where

they reside, under his eye, a teardrop got the ugliest cry.

They call my city Gotham, opposite of pretty.

Weatherman cannot predict bullets

raining from out the 50.

It's ugly outside.

Big L would be here if it wasn't.

Hell'll freeze over the it doesn't get ugly out.

How can we hug it out after we slug it?

We should be buying acres, adjusting each other's crown.

That was your brother back then.

How could you gun him down?

What's up, Seattle?

[CHEERING]

Can you feel the magic?

Yeah.

It's a real night tonight.

Let's get this right down.

Check.

I'm 23 years past the 27 Club.

It's like I went back into my past then I sped it up.

Robert Johnson, Winehouse, and Morris found where heaven was.

Heaven on Earth, this shit is magic with no fairy dust.

Home of the gully gangsta, gruesome and the scary stuff.

I told my brother Jung, "Fuck 'em.

They gonna go through hell with us.

They don't have the history in the street to compare with us."

Hood niggas, they want to be us, thugs in the St. Regis.

Everything, it's time.

The second internet, number three is this rhyme.

Before security my dawg had to sneak in the nine.

God must be on my side.

I had to eat and provide, my winning streak is divine.

Yeah.

I told Dunn, "Leave the street shit behind.

Don't let 'em hype you, a slow run beats cheating the grind.

Dawg, I'm telling it like it is.

You got to deal with the consequence.

When you're running in nigga's crib, nigga,

you better be ready to sit.

Dope dealers, street hustlers, pop cases,

throw dice on pavement, cops.

Big gamblers, skullies, hide face, gang wars,

hot spots, police raid it.

I left 'em speechless.

Shit.

If you know that Magic I shit.

Yeah, I left 'em speechless.

Yeah.

Here we go.

Seattle, I feel at home.

[CHEERING]

Yeah!

That '70s heroin.

Heroin pressed on.

Yeah!

Let's go!

This side, what's up?

That side, what's up?

I got so many kids in this game, it's like a gender revealing.

I got that feeling, Lionel Richie, dancing in the ceiling.

And Van Gogh when you paint me the villain.

The hate is real but you should know

that the love is way realer.

Crafty with a pen way before I could pack 'em in.

Nasty with dreads, slim teen, young, I was passionate.

A brand new book, crackling sound when you open it.

I drop in it.

It might sound like I'm writing hymns.

Manhattan keeps on making it.

Brooklyn keeps on taking it.

What's with my thuns?

And Queens keep on kicking it.

This for my thuns.

If you ever been to Queens, New York, where I'm from,

this is that energy.

Queens in the house.

KD III.

Not niggas I really met through music shit,

it be the real thugs I grew up with.

Phone calls from the feds, long story told fast, wishing

they come home in a hurry.

It's a of a dying pack of lions, nightmares of the cats.

Thoroughbred surviving, you know.

Queens in the house.

Welcome home, Ronnie Bump, and love the Callie.

That boss order us lobster tails late night in 40.

We was out there trying to rid the stress,

had a beat tape from Stretch, rest,

Black TEC, black vest to match the dark aura.

Hit the city deep in the Explorer.

At The Source, wish I was the cover

story that was coming shortly.

Cars back, the raw back in Rest in peace

a few good men, the guard's stalked him.

I pop a bottle.

We not promised tomorrow.

Showing love is the motto.

Cowboy hat, strapped like desperados.

Let one out the chamber, no eye or fire in a vegetative state

when that man China died.

Stomped out on 12th Street, memory fails me.

Hurt homie was a real G, that's what they tell me.

I was the one to run through the sections.

Rest in peace to my man, Money Bags.

Y'all know the section.

Queens in the house.

Queens in the house.

Queens in the house.

Seattle in the motherfucking house!

[CHEERING]

We on fire tonight!

We on fire tonight!

From the Hate Me Now video, it's continual.

All I need is a beat and I'm stitching you.

Stitching these words together.

I'm still getting better, finding the gold as I dig

in the dirt with the shovel.

Got the last laugh, blown away by the backdraft.

I'm on fire.

Don't be scared now.

I'm on fire.

What'd you say?

Don't be scared now.

I'm on fire.

Nas, giving 'em hell now.

We on fire.

Starting to see him sweat.

Don't be scared now.

I'm on fire.

Nah, don't be scared now.

I'm on fire.

Nas giving 'em hell now.

Seattle, what's up!

[CHEERING]

Bitch, I'm in a good mood, good groove.

Pour me up.

Pour me up.

The plane leaves in 30, fix your life, hurry up.

Fix your life.

Ackee rice, peas, putting curry over duck.

Court rhyme, Curry up.

Smoking weed in a tux, sipping Ricard.

Chilling on Governor's Isle with all the killers,

premiere movies with my man DeNiro.

Johnny Nunez got all the pictures.

Black-grown, Black-owned, Black women be my backbone.

Latin food in the back room.

Big business, I'ma drop a new yak, June.

Yo.

Rich, matte black Rolls, yeah I got 'em seeing ghosts.

27 summers, that wasn't even a goal.

Uh uh.

Blowing kush clouds and we all for the smoke.

Bitch, black Rolls, more Black CEOs.

Mass appeal, movies and music sign with us.

Pacino.

All my nigga's millionaires.

G-Code know what's up.

What up, Seattle?

What the fuck!

Let's go!

Rich, matte black Rolls, yeah, I got 'em see ghost.

What else?

27 summers, that wasn't even a goal.

Blowing kush clouds and we all for the smoke.

Bitch, black card, black Rolls, more Black CEOs.

Magic III.

Magic III.

Happy birthday, hip hop, turning 50 this year.

[CHEERING]

And happy birthday to me turning 50 this year, god damn it!

Early on the wake up, cunning as the father

of the 12 sons of Jacob.

Shake up the world, cake crumbs.

Cover my gold teeth, cufflinks, waiters,

lobster sauce on aprons.

Pardon, that's chef.

Burgundy on the breath.

I was 13 when I stepped, dancing to every song

like it's a contest, singing to Stevie Wonder,

"Happy Birthday," celebrating years

of flows and crazy wordplay.

Seasoned I'm leaving my 40s, I'm a griot.

Deep as Deepak Chopra, dress socks and loafers.

Family only, holding hands with a cold piece.

Bow to the old me.

I'm officially OG.

Might throw a roast me, wonder what will the jokes be.

Watching 'em imitate my cool demeanor.

I'm in the fucking Seattle arena.

Throw the dice in this life and I hit the fever.

Let's go!

Wolf of the NYC.

This is prophecy.

No, this is history.

Evolve constantly.

Half a century.

Put your glasses up, represent for me.

Represent, represent.

Represent for me.

Represent, represent for me.

Fly from infancy to half a century.

Represent, represent, represent for me.

That's six albums in two and 1/2 years.

Shit.

Long time you've been outside.

All I see is blurbs, all I see is

words, nerds talking about what I did, seen, or heard.

And all I see is clones, see you small fuckers

with mixtape players, cause I seeing what they doing.

And all they talk is this.

But they ain't saying shit.

They talk reckless when I do not work for them.

Which one it is, since you such a music whiz?

First thing I heard when you coming up with age,

they stumble in your space, you punch 'em in the face.

The second thing I heard, I was in the second grade,

sliding on to second base, I can orchestrate this game.

The third I heard, if it quacks it's a duck.

The fourth, of course, be upfront what you want.

The fifth was this, keep something lit on your wrist.

Now I'm on album six, top team on your list.

Oh!

Got to grab another hundo.

Industy cuttthroat, watch how I construct though.

Uh.

Concrete jungle.

If rappers were presidents, I would get Trump's vote.

Uh.

I can really stay humble, or I can take it back to Nasty

if I want to, some young, dumb, crazy

motherfucker from the hood.

What's up?

Ah shit.

What's up?

This side, what up?

That side, what up?

What to the back!

Let's go!

Yeah.

A divine creature, ran through dimes, divas.

I turned blocks to beaches by the time you see us.

We just turn tides even.

Cuban links got the largest pieces.

But I'm wild for keeping this on almost half

a century with a crispy lineup.

My peep Sallam said I remind him, Martin Lawrence,

breaking hearts on some real thin.

I'm done with star chicks, survived divorces,

I ain't have to climb back, I climbed in Porches.

Jealous.

I ain't have to climb back.

I was the ill seed, the illest one.

Villainized but I feel free and the field be crazy

way before the drill beef.

Doesn't matter, this is sheer relief.

I feel the breeze, this is superhero

material, rap star status.

Premier album still right happen.

I wonder why Pete Rock would act like that.

And now I can't tell 'em all the good that I did.

It's been hid with they agenda, again, nigga.

I know they all praying I go back to nothing.

Fuck 'em.

See, this is practice, this is magic, history,

Stash Key's keys on a triple beam.

500 SL green, 95 nickle gleam.

Condominium, thug dressed like a gentleman, tailor-made ostrich.

Chanel for my women friend.

Thundering numbers on your head while I'm burglaring.

Shank is serving 'em.

What's up to all my niggas swerving.

New York metropolis, the Bridge brings apocalypse.

Shoot at the cloud.

Feel like the holy beast is watching us.

Mad man, my sanity.

Hey, yo.

Say peace to cats who rock mad knowledge.

Knowledge is street astrologist, light up the mic.

We crack over the shoulder.

Chrome tanks, player like Yanks.

Check the franchise.

Front on my guys, my enterprise--

Rappel on fakes like reflectors.

- Come on! - He had sugar in his ear.

His last crack career.

Yo, we can can him, manhandle him, if you wanna.

Run in his crib-o, get ditto--

Skate like a limo.

Jet to the fliest estate, relate, take a break, bread

down an eighth and then wait.

Drop it like Drake.

Thugs, they be booing and screwing.

We canoing, claim they doing the same shit we doing.

Fuck a unit.

It's the same style, RZA trainable.

Jump the turnstyle.

We on the alley, try to challenge--

God for the new vials.

Especially that, aluminum bat in the hat.

Relax, lay back, sell a grenade a day.

It pays, Black.

The Mac-10 flex white cats like Windex.

Busting them fly scripts.

The Wally can't count crazily, grands with our plans.

Laying with bitches and my--

Man's in Lex land.

The Wu is here to bring you Shaolin's finest.

But if your shit is weak, you better step up behind us.

Whoa.

[CHEERING]

We here for y'all, man.

Hey, yo, Seattle, man.

Could we get some noise in here for 50

years of fucking hip hop, man?

[CHEERING]

Some shit that they never ever thought

was going to take place, took place.

Hip hop is the most conditional, special shit

in the whole fucking planet.

Music is everywhere, from here to Peru, to fucking Arabia,

to Alaska, all because of us, hip hop shit, man.

But yo, real quick, man.

The rest of y'all, where you at?

I need you to come out here and represent, talk

to the people about hip hop.

Yo.

Do that for me.

What up, Seattle?

[CHEERING]

Talk to him, Rz.

Can I take a toast for hip hop, 50 years?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Woo.

North, East, West, South.

Hip hop is here for 50 years.

It started in New York City, made its way around the world,

and is now the number one form of music in the entire world!

[CHEERING]

Yeah, yeah.

Facts.

And one thing remains true, Wu-Tang Clan

ain't nothing to fuck with!

Oh, shit.

Energy!

Let's go.

Let's fuck this building up.

Let's fucking destroy this shit.

Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

Wu-Tang Clan ain't--

Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to fuck with.

There's place to hide once I step inside the room.

Dr. Doom, prepare for the boom.

Bam!

Aw, man, I slam, jam, now scream like Tarzan.

I be tossing and flossing, my style is awesome.

I'm causing more Family Feuds--

Than Richard Dawson.

And the survey said?

You're dead.

The fatal flying guillotine jumps off your fucking head.

Mister, who is that?

Hey, yo, the Wu is back.

Make a nigga go--

Bo, bo, bo.

Like I'm Super Cat.

We fear no one.

Oh no, here come the Wu-Tang shogun, killer to the eardrum.

Needle to the groove, I get rude.

But, to fuck it up, my carry like a pickup truck.

Cross the clear blue-- - Yonder.

--sea to shining sea.

I slam track like quarterback sacks.

From LT.

So why try and test the rebel INS.

Blessed since the birth, earth-slam your best.

And I bake the cake, here take the cake and eat it too.

My crew, we head state to state.

If you want beef then bring the ruckus.

Wu-Tang Clan ain't--

CROWD: Nothing to fuck with.

Straight from the motherfucking

slum that's busted.

Wu-Tang ain't--

CROWD: Nothing to fuck with.

Seattle, make some noise for our brother, the Method Man!

Yo, the Meth will come out--

CROWD: Tomorrow.

Styles, get busy, bizarre, bizarro,

flow with more afro than Rollo.

Coming to a fork in the road.

Which way to go?

Just follow.

Meth is the legend, niggas are Sleepy Hollow.

In fact, I'm a hard act to follow.

I dealt for dolo.

Bogart is coming on through.

Niggas is like--

Oh my God, not you.

Yes, I, could to get a slice of the punk and the pie,

rather do than die, check my flavor,

coming from the RZA which is short for the--

- Razor. - Ooh.

Made me reminisce you like deja--

Vu.

I'm rubber.

Niggas is like glue.

Whatever you say rubs off me.

It sticks in you, you, you, you.

If you know the song, sing along.

Wu-Tang Clan ain't--

CROWD: Nothing to fuck with.

Wu-Tang Clan ain't--

Here I am, here I am, the Method Man.

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, hey, the Method Man.

Don't eat Skippy, Jif, or Peter Pan peanut

butter 'cause I'm not butter.

In fact, I snap back like a rubber band.

Hey, I be Sam, Sam-I-Am.

And I don't eat green eggs and ham.

You'll be like, "Oh, shit that's the jam."

Turn it up.

Upside, downside, inside and outside.

Hittin' you from every angle, and there's

no doubt I am the one and only Method Man, the master

of the plan, rappin' shit like Saran wrap with some of this

Hold up.

Wait, I thought I saw a putty cat over there.

Over there, but I think he best to beware of the diggy dog shit

Yippy yippy yay, yippy yah, yippy yo.

Like Deck said, "This ain't your average flow.

Comin' like rah, ooh-ah, achie-kah.

Tell me, how you like it so far, baby paw?

The poetry's in motion coast to coast and rub

it on your skin like lotion.

What's the commotion?

CROWD: Oh my Lord.

Another corn chopped--

CROWD: --by the Wu-Tang Clan.

CROWD: Woo!

[WU TANG CLAN, "ALL I NEED (REMIX)"]

Oh, shit.

Any women, lots of love.

Love is for everybody, uh.

Swear to God, I hope we fuckin' die together.

1, 2, 3, dig that shit.

Die together.

Talk to 'em.

Shorty, I'm there for you anytime you need me.

For real girl, it's me in your world, believe me.

Nothing make a man feel better than a woman.

Queen with a crown that be down for whatever.

There are a few things that's forever, my lady.

We can make war or make babies.

Back when I was nothing, you made my brother

feel like he was something.

That's why I'm with you to this day, boo, no frontin'.

Even when the skies were gray, you would rub me on my back

and say, "Baby, it'll be OK."

Now that's real to a brother like me, baby.

Never ever give my pussy away and keep it tight.

Aight?

I'ma walk these dogs so we can live in a fat-ass

crib with thousands of kids.

Word life, you don't need a ring to be my wife.

Just be there for me and I'ma make sure we be

living in effin' lap of luxury.

I'm realizing that you didn't have to funk with me.

But you did.

Now I'm going all out kid.

And I got mad love to give.

I swear to fuckin' God I hope we die together.

Fellas, fellas, lie together, cry together, I swear to God.

Sing it.

I took one look at you.

CROWD: You were my destiny.

Keep it goin', y'all.

[WU TANG CLAN, "ALL I NEED (REMIX)"] I dedicate my life.

I sacrifice for you.

Dedicate my life to you.

[CHEERING]

Seattle, one more time for the Method Man!

[CHEERING]

Hey, yo, man.

Razor-sharp, I sever the head from the shoulders.

Be like, "Warriors, come out and play."

Dirty shit.

Especially if you're white and you say nigga.

Uh-huh.

Make some noise, y'all!

[BARKING]

Yeah.

Nice.

Big dos.

You know what?

We're in an incredible city.

I just got to say this, Seattle.

Y'all gave me a couple of my favorite heroes like Jimi

Hendrix and Bruce Lee and shit.

It's like just an amazing city right here beyond fuckin' all

the Boeings and and fuckin'--

Man, fuck that shit.

He used to dunk in this building, man.

Hell yeah, right?

Real shit, real shit.

It's the glove and shit like that.

This is an incredible fuckin' city.

You got great coffee too.

But, listen, can we take y'all back to our city for a moment?

Seattle, can we take y'all back to Shaolin real quick?

[CHEERING]

WU-TANG CLAN MEMBER: They got to be ready to get on the boat

though.

WU-TANG CLAN MEMBER: --and take that ferry ride, yo.

Hey, yo, this shit is so real, man.

Hey, yo, we're from Staten Island, New York City.

Y'all ever been there?

Well, we're going to take you there right now.

Talk to 'em, Chef.

It's a serious place, a serious place,

so many beautiful people.

But everybody want money.

Everybody need money to survive.

If you need money to survive, put your hands in the air.

Uh, uh.

If you need money to survive, put your hand

up in the motherfuckin' air.

Don't be lazy.

Go out there and get yours.

Put your hand in the motherfuckin' air.

You can get it, trust me.

But we're going to take y'all back.

One of our favorite songs that we did across the world,

we did it many a times and y'all know the record pretty well.

So we're going to need y'all to sing it from head to toe.

Yo, RZA, how the motherfuckin' shit go?

Make money, money, money.

Make money, money.

What is it?

Everybody.

Take money, money, money.

Take money, money.

I like that.

Na, na, na, na.

That's the pain right there.

La, la, la, la.

That's the fucking pain right there.

That part.

Na, na, na,

Ladies and gentlemen.

Seattle.

Let's go.

["C.R.E.A.M." PLAYING]

This is for all the hustlers, man.

Damn.

Damn.

Shit is fucking amazing.

Where y'all at?

From the stairs to the stage, motherfucker.

What is it?

(RAPPING) Cash rules everything around me,

C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

CROWD: Dollar, dollar bill, y'all.

- Come on, y'all. - Nice.

I grew up on the crime side, New York Times side.

Staying alive was no jive.

Had secondhands.

So then we moved to Shaolin land.

A young youth, yo, rocking the gold tooth, 'Lo goose.

Only way I begin the G up was drug loot.

And let's start it like this, son.

Rolling with this one and that one, pulling out gats for fun.

But it was just a dream for the teen, was a fiend.

Started smoking woolies at 16 and running up in gates,

doing hits for high stakes, making my way on fire escapes.

No question, I would speed for cracks and weed.

CROWD: That combination made my eyes bleed.

But no question, I would flow off, try to get the dough off.

Sticking up white boys on ball courts.

And my life got no better, same damn 'Lo sweater.

Times is rough and tough like leather.

Figured out I went the wrong route, so I got

with Seattle, motherfuckers.

Catching keys from cross-seas, rolling in MPVS every week.

We made a hundred Gs.

Yo, nigga, respect mine.

Here go the TEC-9.

Yo, move from the gate now.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

Dollar, dollar bill, y'all.

Everybody.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

CROWD: Dollar dollar bills, y'all.

Nice.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

Get your fucking money, y'all.

One more time.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

CROWD: Dollar, dollar bill, y'all.

Salute.

22 long, hard years, still struggling.

Survival got me bucking.

I'm alive on arrival.

Peep at the shape of the street.

Stay awake to the ways of the world, 'cause shit is deep.

A man with the dream, plans to make cream, which failed.

Went to jail at the age of 15.

Young buck selling drugs and such.

Never had much.

Trying to get a clutch at I could not touch.

The court played me short, now face incarceration.

Pacing.

Going upstate, my destination.

Handcuffed in the back of a bus.

40 of us.

Life as a shorty--

CROWD: Shouldn't be so rough. - Nice.

As the world turned, I learned life

was hell, living in a world no different from a cell.

Every day I escape from Jakes giving chase, selling base,

smoking bones.

Though I don't know why I chose to smoke sess.

Guess that's the time when I'm not depressed.

But I'm still depressed, so I ask what's it worth.

Ready to give up so I seek the Old Earth who explained working

hard helps you maintain, learn to overcome

your heartaches and pain.

We got stick-up kids, corrupt cops,

crack rocks, stray shots all on the block that stays hot.

Leave it up to me while I be living proof to kick

the truth to my Seattle youth.

Shorty running wild, smoking sess, drinking beer.

He ain't trying to hear what I'm kicking in his ear.

Neglected for now, but yo, it got to be accepted.

That what?

CROWD: Life is hectic.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

CROWD: Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.

Everybody.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

What is it?

CROWD: Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.

Louder.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get your money.

CROWD: Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get your money.

CROWD: Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.

Everybody say Wu-Tang.

Wu.

CROWD: Tang. - Wu.

CROWD: Tang. - Wu.

CROWD: Tang. - Wu.

CROWD: Tang.

CROWD: Tang. - Wu.

CROWD: Tang.

--is on your brain.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

Dollar, dollar bills, y'all.

Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money.

CROWD: Dollar, dollar bill, y'all.

Seattle, give yourselves a round of applause.

That was beautiful.

Get your money.

Get your fucking money.

Give you chills and shit, you know?

Yeah, yeah.

So since we took them back to Shaolin,

let's take them a little bit further back to our first song

we ever put out.

We want to invite the entire Wu-Tang Clan back on stage.

We want to hear y'all sing along to this one right here.

This is the song that got us on the map.

And the title of this song was true then, and it's true now.

You must always protect your motherfucking neck.

["PROTECT YA NECK" PLAYING]

Protect it.

Hey.

We're going to need y'all to sing this shit.

Let's go.

Day ones, right?

Come on.

(RAPPING) Wu-Tang Clan coming at ya.

Protect ya neck, kid.

Oh, oh.

Watch your step, kid.

The Inspectah Deck.

I smoke on the mic like Smoking Joe Frazier.

Hell raiser, raising hell with the flavor.

Terrorize the jam like troops in Pakistan.

Swinging through your town like a neighborhood Spider-Man.

Yeah, tick-tock, keep ticking.

I'll get you flipping off the shit that I'm kicking.

The Lone Ranger, code red, danger.

Deep in the dark with the art to rip the charts apart.

The vandal, too hot to handle.

Battle, saying goodbye like Tevin Campbell.

Roughneck Inspectah Deck's on the set.

The rebel makes more noise than heavy metal.

The way I make the crowd go wild.

Sit back, relax, won't smile.

Rae got it going on, pal.

Call me the rap assassinator.

Rhymes rugged and built like Schwarzenegger.

And I'ma get mad deep like a threat and blow up

your project, and then take all your assets because I came

to shake the frame in half with the thoughts

that bomb shit like math.

If you want to try to flip, go flip on the next man

'cause I grab the clips and hit you with 16 shots, all I got.

Going war with the melting pot, ah.

It's the Method Man.

For short, Mr. Meth--

CROWD: Moving on your left.

And set it off, get it off, let it off like a gat.

I'm want to break full, cock me back.

Small change, they put shame in the game.

I take aim and blow that nigga out the frame.

And like Fame, my style will live forever.

Niggas crossing over like they don't know no better.

But I do, true.

Can I get Su?

Enough respect due to the 160.

I mean, O. Yo, check out the flow like the Hudson or PCP

when I'm dusting.

Niggas off 'cause I'm hot like sauce.

The smoke from the lyrical blunt, make me-- ah.

Ooh, what, grab these nuts, get screwed.

And ah, here go the Shaolin style.

What?

True.

Bad as ooh, baby U to my crew with the Su.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Come on, baby, baby, come on.

Baby, come on, baby, baby, come on.

Watch your step.

Protect ya neck.

First thing first, man, you're fucking with the worst.

I'll be sticking pins in your head like a fucking nurse.

I'll attack any nigga who's slack in his mack.

Come fully packed with a fat rugged sack.

Shame on you when you step through to the Ol' Dirty

Bastard.

And I'll be damned if I'll let any man come to my center.

You enter the winter.

Straight up and down, that shit is packed jam.

You can't slam.

Don't let me get fool on him, man.

The Ol' Dirty Bastard is dirty and stinkin'.

Ason Unique rolling with the night of the creeps.

Niggas be rolling with a stash, ain't saying cash.

Bite my style, I'll bite your motherfucking ass.

For crying out loud, my style is wild, so book me.

Not long is how long that this rhyme took me.

Ejecting styles from my lethal weapon,

my pen that rocks from here to Oregon.

Here's more again.

Catch it like a psycho flashback.

I love gats.

If rap was a gun, you wouldn't bust back.

I come with shit in all types of shapes and sounds.

Where I lounge is my stomping grounds.

I give order to my niggas across the water to go snatch

up props all around the border.

And get far like a shooting star because 'cause who we are

is living the life of Pablo Escobar.

Point-blank as we kick the square biz.

There it is.

You're fucking with pros, and there it goes.

Chill with the feedback, black, we don't need that.

It's 10 o'clock, ho, where the fuck is your seed at?

Feeling mad hostile, wearing Aeropostle, flowing like Christ

when I speak gospel.

I stroll with the holy robe, then

attack the globe with the buckus style, the ruckus.

10 times 10 men committing mass sin.

You turn the other cheek and I'll break your fucking chin.

We jumped down like an African drum.

We'll be coming around the mountain when I come.

Crazy flamboyant for the rap enjoyment.

My clan increase like Black unemployment.

Yeah, another one there.

Put your W's up in the air.

W's in the air.

W's in the air.

W's in the air, and say, oh yeah.

CROWD: Oh yeah.

You best protect your fucking neck.

Love.

[APPLAUSE]

CROWD: Wu-Tang.

Wu-Tang.

DJ GREEN LANTERN: Seattle.

[CHEERING]

York State of Mind Tour.

Nah, that ain't loud enough.

Are you having a good ass time tonight on the New

York State of Mind Tour?

That's right.

My name is DJ Green Lantern, and right about now we

["HATE ME NOW" PLAYING]

Hands up everybody, front to back.

Let's go.

Let's get it.

(RAPPING) You can hate me now, but I won't stop now.

Real niggas.

'Cause I can't stop now.

Bravehearts.

Somebody make some noise.

[CHEERING]

Do it now.

Let's go.

Don't hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy,

ice that I wear, flows that I try.

Close your eyes.

Picture me rolling, Sixes, money folding,

honeys swollen to riches.

Nas get in ya.

Critically acclaimed Pulitzer Prize winner, best storyteller,

thug narrator, styles greater.

Model dater, big threat to a lot of these haters.

Commentators ringside try watching my paper.

Almost a decade, quite impressive.

Most of the best is in the essence for the rap shit

that I stand for.

Expanding more to the big screen,

Bill Gates dreams, but it seems they want to see

me in jail, state greens.

Want me off the scene fast, but good things last

like the realist MC still making some mean cash.

First rapper to bring a platinum plaque back to my projects.

They still want to hate, be my guest, I suggest.

Middle fingers up.

Fuck the world.

Do it now.

Now you saying that's a clever nigga, nothing to play with.

Hate on me.

I blew, but I'm the same OG.

["HATE ME NOW" PLAYING] Yo, they warned me.

When you on top, there's envy.

Took my dawgs out the hood, but you

doubt on us, saying we left the hood

but can't get it out of us.

My bad.

Should I step out my shoes?

Give them to you?

Here's the cars and the house.

You can live in that, too.

Criticize when I flow for the street, hate my dress code.

What you expect, yo?

Nickname Esco, took the game to its threshold.

Best flow, I bet the whole US know.

Try to make it like they the realest.

Who the realest?

Because I can't stop now.

Come on.

You can hate me now.

Fuck every hater.

But I won't stop now.

And we all got haters.

Because I can't stop now.

Never let him stop you.

And I love y'all all right now!

["GOT UR SELF A GUN" PLAYING] You got yourself a gun.

Living in this town behind enemy lines.

You from the hood, I hope y'all--

Got yourself a gun.

And when I see you, I'mma take what I want.

They tried to front, hope you--

Got yourself a gun.

They not real, hope y'all--

Got yourself a gun.

Check it out, y'all.

My first album, no famous guest appearances.

The outcome--

What?

He's crowned the best lyricist.

Many years in this professional level.

Why would you question who's better?

The world is still-- - Mine.

Tattoos real, "God's Son" across the belly.

Boss of rap, you saw me in "Belly."

Thoughts like that, take it back to Africa.

Did it with Biggie.

Me and Pac, soldiers of the same struggle.

Your lames could huddle, team's shook,

y'all feel the wrath of a--

Killer.

This is my football field.

Throw a pass from a barrel, shoulder pads, apparel.

But the QB stand for Queensbridge.

Every word is like a sawed-off blast.

They all soft.

I'm the hearse that come and haul y'all's ass--

In.

This for the hood by the corner.

Many try, many, come at Nas.

If you want a war, get it bloody.

Good job, Seattle!

I got mine, hope you--

Got yourself a gun.

America, I hope y'all--

Got yourself a gun.

They not real!

What's your name?

I'm the N, the A, to the S-I-R. If I wasn't--

hey, yo, the kid got a chipped tooth fixed, hair parted

with a barber's preciseness.

Bravehearted for life, return of the gunslinger,

son of a blues player.

Who were you, player?

Y'all waiting the true savior.

Puffing the tropical, cups of the vodka, too.

Papi chu's, throw up, wake up in the hospital.

Throw up?

Never, I do it through righteous steps.

Judas thought I was gone.

In light of my death--

They been all happy-go-lucky.

Bunch of sambos call me "God's son"--

With my pants low.

I don't die slow.

Put them rags up like Petey Pablo.

This the NASDAQ, though.

In my NASCAR with the Nas flow.

What can beat that?

Rick, Joe, bring it back to Seattle, Washington!

Oh!

Ho!

Hey!

CROWD: Ho!

Hey!

CROWD: Ho!

Oh!

["IT AIN'T HARD TO TELL" PLAYING] It ain't hard to tell.

I excel, then prevail.

The mic is contacted, I attract clientele.

The mic check is life or death, breathing the sniper's breath.

Exhale the yellow smoke of Buddha through righteous steps.

Deep like "The Shining," sparkle like a diamond.

Sneak a Uzi on the island army jacket lining.

Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion.

Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian.

In my physical, I'll express, delete

stress, then extend strong.

Drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in Hell.

Everybody, bring it back!

Hip-hop hooray!

It ain't hard to tell!

Hey!

CROWD: Ho!

Hey!

CROWD: Ho!

Hey!

CROWD: Ho!

Yeah, it ain't hard to tell.

If you ever had any of my music on cassette tape,

I love you more!

Let's groove!

The Buddha monk's in the trunk, turn the bass up.

Not stories by Aesop.

Place the loot up, parties I shoot up.

Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L. School

a fool well.

You feel it like Braille, it ain't hard to tell.

Kick a skill like Shaquille holds a bill.

Vocabulary spills, he's ill, plus Matic.

Freak beat slammin like Iron Sheik.

Jam like a TEC with correct--

Technique.

To analyze me.

Surprise me.

Can't magnetize me.

Scanning while you're planning ways to--

Sabotage.

I leave you froze like heroin in your nose.

Nas will rock well.

CROWD: It ain't hard to tell.

Yeah!

Let's go!

It's time to represent!

Yeah.

It's time to represent.

Seattle, represent--

It's time to represent.

BOTH: Let's go!

Represent, represent!

["REPRESENT" PLAYING] Say what!

CROWD: Represent, represent!

Say what!

CROWD: Represent, represent!

Say what!

CROWD: Represent, represent!

Straight up, shit is real.

And today could be your last in the jungle.

Get murdered on the humble, guns'll blast, tumble.

Corners is the hot spot full of criminals who don't care.

Guzzling beers, we all stare at the out-of-towners who better

break north before we get the--

Four pounders--

And take their face off.

The streets is real.

And the countless homicides chasing brothers.

D's on the roof trying to watch us and knock us.

Killer coppers coming through in helicopters.

I drink a little vodka, spark a L and hold a--

The fronters--

Wanna ill ones and spot runners,

thinking it can't happen till I drop them and clap

them and leave him done.

Won't even run.

I don't believe in all that whack shit.

Facts are backwards.

Nas is a rebel at a street corner,

pulling a TEC out the dresser.

Everybody help me out!

Represent, represent!

Say what?

CROWD: Represent, represent!

Say what?

CROWD: Represent, represent!

Say what?

Represent, represent, represent, represent!

["SWEET DREAMS" PLAYING] Oh, street

dreams are made of these.

And shawties push Bimmers and 300 Es.

A drug dealer's destiny is reaching a key,

and everybody's looking for something.

Street Dreams are made of these.

And shorties on their knees for players with big cheese.

But who am I to disagree?

With everybody looking for something.

It goes one--

One.

Two--

Two.

One, two, three, bring it back.

Come on!

Hey!

Now, now, now, now.

When I say "hip", y'all say "hop."

Hip!

CROWD: Hop!

Hip! CROWD: Hop!

Up top!

I see you!

Hip!

Let's go!

Up top, I see you!

["NAS IS LIKE" PLAYING] Freedom or jail, clip's inserted.

Baby's being born same time a man is murdered.

Beginning and end, as far as rap go,

it's only natural I explain plateau

and also what defines my name.

First it was Nasty, but times have changed.

Ask me now, it's just an artist, hardcore, my sign's for pain.

Spent time in the game, my mind on fame.

Saw fiends shoot up, do lines of cocaine.

So my close friends shot, flatline, am I sane?

Depends, carry MAC-10s to practice my aim.

Rooftops, tape CD covers on trees.

Line the barrel up with the album cover, the squeeze.

Street scriptures for lost souls in the crossroad,

to the corner thugs hustle for cars that cost dough.

To the little ones, doing it right.

Pushing big cars, enjoy your life.

It's what you make it.

Suicide, few try to take it.

Belt tied around his neck in jail cells--

Naked.

Heaven and hell, rap legend presents

is felt. And of course--

CROWD: "N-A-S" are the letters that spell--

["THE WORLD IS YOURS" PLAYING] And it's yours!

Whose world is this?

The world is yours, what?

It's mine, it's mine, whose world is this?

The world is yours.

It's mine, it's mine, it's mine.

Whose world is this?

The world is yours.

The world is yours.

It's mine, it's mine--

I sip the Dom P, watching "Gandhi" till I'm charged.

Writing in my book of rhymes, all the words past the margin.

To hold the mic I'm throbbing, mechanical movement.

Understandable small shit murderers move with.

The thief's theme.

Play me at night, they won't act right.

The fiend of hip-hop got me stuck--

Like a crack pipe.

The mind activation, react like I'm

facing time like Pappy Mason.

Pens I'm embracing, wipe the sweat off my dome,

split the phlegm of the streets.

J's on the beat.

Keep the cipher complete.

Whether cruising in a cab, a Montero, I can't call it.

The beats make me falling asleep.

I keep falling, but never falling six feet deep.

Hey, yo, I'm out for presidents to represent me!

CROWD: Say what?

Presidents to represent me!

CROWD: Say what?

Dead presidents.

Let's go.

Whose world is this?

The world is yours.

The world is yours.

The world is yours.

It's mine, it's mine, it's mine.

Whose world is this?

To my man Ill Will--

It's yours.

To my people out there, God bless.

I trip, we box up crazy.

Aiming guns at all my baby pictures.

Beef with the house and police release scriptures

that's maybe--

yet I'm the mild money-getting style, rolling foul.

Versatile, honey-sticking, wild golden child.

Dwelling in the rotten apple, you get tackled

or caught by the devil's lasso.

CROWD: Shit is a hassle.

It's no days for broke days when selling smoke pays,

while the old folks pray to Jesús,

soaking their sins in trays of holy water.

Odds against Nas is slaughter.

The word describing my life to name my daughter, my strength.

My son will be my resurrection.

Born in correction, the wrongs that I did

can do the right direction.

How you living?

Large or broke on charge cards and mediocre?

You flipping coke or?

What you want, soldier?

I thought I told you!

It's yours!

It's mine, it's mine.

Whose world-- the world is yours.

Can you believe that?

It's mine, it's mine, it's mine.

Whose world is this?

It's yours.

Do you receive that?

Whose world is this?

The world is yours.

The world is--

CROWD: Yours!

But I ain't Five-O, y'all know it's--

Hennessy with a whole lot a-- only

describe us as soldiers of--

Stay laced in the best, well-dressed,

with finesse in a black tee.

Wifey.

A thug girl who fly and talks so nicely.

Put her in the coupe so she can feel the nice breeze.

We can ride through the city, no doubt.

Don't say the car's topless.

Say what?

Say the titties is out.

Newness, here's the anthem that you hoop with--

Count your loot with.

Push the pool stick in your new crib.

Same hand you hoop with, swing around like you're stupid.

King of the town, we've been that.

You know you click-clack.

Where you, where your mens at?

Do the Smurf, do the Wop, Baseball bat.

Where them gangsters at?

Where my dimes at?

This ain't rappin'.

This is Street Hop.

Now get up off yo' ass like your seat's hot.

My live thugs lit up the reefer.

Trunk of your car, got the streetsweeper.

Don't start none, won't be none.

No reason for your mans to panic.

You don't want to see no ambulances.

Knock a pimp's drink down in his pimp cup.

That's the way you get Timberland'd up.

Oh!

Let the music defuse all the tension.

Baller convention, free admission.

Hustlers, dealers, killers move swift.

Girls get close, you can feel where the tool's kept.

All my just-coming homies.

Parolees.

Get money, leave the beef alone.

Slowly.

Get out my face.

You people so phony.

Pull out my waste, the Eagle four-forty.

Yes, Seattle, get your hands up.

- Hands up! - To the sky!

- To the sky! - Get the hands up.

Hands up!

Side to side.

Life, I wonder, will it take us under?

Never!

Imagine smoking weed in the streets.

Imagine going to court with no--

lifestyle, cruisin' blue Bahama waters.

No welfare supporters, conscious of the way

we raise our daughters.

Days are shorter, nights are colder.

Feeling like life is over.

This snake strike like a cobra.

The world's hot, son got knocked evidently.

It's elementary they want us all gone eventually.

Troopin' out of state for a plate, knowledge.

If coke was cooked without the garbage, we'd all have the

Top dollar.

Imagine everybody flashing, fashion designer clothes.

You look good!

People holdin; dough, no parole, no rubbers.

Imagine law with no undercovers.

Just a thought for the mind.

Everybody in here, help me out one time.

If I ruled the world.

Imagine that.

Oh!

CROWD: I love 'em, love 'em, baby.

Black diamonds and pearls

Up top, I see you!

Living in these days, inner peace.

Paradise, life relaxing.

Armani Exchange, the Range, Cash, Lost Tribe.

Free at last.

Brand new cars the crash then we laugh.

In the iller path.

The Villa house is for the crew.

How we do?

Weed for breakfast, dime sexes, Benz stretches.

Many years of depression make me vision a better living.

Type of place to raise kids in.

Open they eyes history's told foul.

I'm as wise as the old owl plus the Gold Child.

Seeing things like I was controlling,

clique rolling, tricking six digits

on kicks and still holdin'.

Trips to Paris, I'd civilize every savage.

Just give me one shot, I turn trife life to lavish.

Political prisoners set free!

Stress free!

No work release, purple M3s, and jet skis.

Feel the wind breeze in West Indies.

Let Coretta Scott, mayor the city,

reverse fiends to Willies.

It sound foul, but every girl in here will go down-town.

I'd open every cell in Attica, send 'em to Africa.

If I ruled the world

Imagine that, y'all!

Say what?

I'd free all my sons.

You know what?

CROWD: I love 'em, love 'em, baby.

Hip hop has given us all many years of good times.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Thank y'all for that.

But I got a little problem with you not fucking me.

Baby, you know I'm going to take of you.

And you say you got my baby.

I know it ain't true.

Is it a good thing?

No, it's bad, bitch.

For good or worse, it's making you switch.

So I walk all over my crib style.

Bitch niggs, put away your pistols.

Good shit, young man.

Good shit.

Yeah.

I'm getting better, baby.

You get--

Well, one thing for sure is that when you jump,

you jump higher than all of us, my man.

It's that young energy.

For us, it's a pleasure to be seeing

a second generation of Wu Tang Clan share the stage with us,

the YDB.

That's the power of hip hop.

And if you love hip hop like we love hip hop,

when I say hip hop, you say one love.

Hip hop.

One love.

Hip hop.

One love.

Hip hop.

One love.

Seattle, put your Wu Tang W's in the sky

We the Osiris of this shit.

Wu Tang is here forever, motherfuckers.

All right, this '97.

All right, my niggas and my niggarrettes.

We're going through it like this.

I'm a rub your ass in the moonshine.

RAPPER: Let's take it back to '79.

I bomb atomically.

Socrates' philosophies and hypotheses..

I'll be dropping these mockers. lyrically

perform armed robbery.

Flee with the lottery.

Possibly they spotted me.

Battle-scared shogun, explosion when my pen hits.

Tremendous.

Ultraviolet shine, blind forensics.

I inspect view through the future, see millennium.

Killa Beez sold--

60 platinum.

Shackling the masses with drastic rap tactics.

Graphic displays.

Melt the like blacksmiths.

Black Wu jackets, Queen Beez ease the guns in.

Rumble with patrolmen, tear gas laced the function.

Heads by the score.

Take flight, incite a war.

Thicks hit the floor.

Diehard fans demand more.

Behold the bold soldier.

Control the globe slowly.

Proceed to blow, swinging swords like Shinobi.

Stomp grounds and pound footprints in solid rock.

Wu got it locked performing live on your hottest block.

As the the world, I spread like germs.

Bless the globe with the pestilence.

The hard-headed never learn.

It's my testament to those burned.

Play my position in the game of life,

standing firm on foreign land.

Jump the gun.

Out the frying pan, into the fire.

Transform into the Ghost Rider.

A six pack and a "Streetcar Named Desire."

Who got my back in the line of fire, holding back.

What?

My peoples, if you with me, where the fuck you at?

Niggas is strapped, and they trying to twist my beer cap.

It's court adjourned for the bad seed from bad sperm.

Herb got my wig fried like a bad perm.

What the blood clot?

We smoke pot and blow spots.

You wanna think twice?

I think not.

The Iron Lung ain't got to take you where it's coming from.

"Guns of Navarone" tearing up your battle zone.

Rip through your slums.

I twist darts from the heart, trued and true.

Loot my voice on the LP.

Martini on the slang rocks, certified chatterbox.

Vocabulary Donna talking.

Tell your story walking.

Take cover, kid.

What?

Run for your brother, kid.

Run for your team and your six can't rhyme groupies.

So I can squeeze with the advantage and get wasted.

My deadly notes reign Supreme.

Your thought basic compared to mine.

Uh.

Domino effect, arts and crafts.

Talk to them.

Paragraphs contain cyanide.

Take a free ride on my thought.

I got the fashion catalogs for all y'all to all praise.

The saga continues.

Wu Tang.

Wu Tang.

Olympic torch flaming.

We burn so sweet.

The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat.

We crush slow, flaming deluxe slow for Judgment Day cometh.

Conquer.

It's war.

Allow us to escape hell, globe spinning bomb.

Pocket full of shells out the sky, golden arms.

Tunes split the shitty "Mortal Kombat" sound.

The fake false step make the blood stain the ground.

A jungle junkie, vigilante tantrum.

A death kiss catwalk, squeeze another anthem.

Hold it for ransom.

Tranquilized with anesthesia.

My orchestra, graceful, music ballerinas.

My music Sicily, rich California smell.

The ax killer adventure, paint a picture well.

I sing a song from Sing-Sing, sipping on ginseng.

Righteous wax chaperon, rotating ring king.

March of the wooden sldiers.

C-Cypher punks couldn't hold us.

1,000 men rushing in, not one nigga was sober.

Perpendicular to the saquare, we stand bold like Flare.

Escape from the dragon's lair.

In particular, my beats travel like a vortex up your spine

to the top of your cerebral cortex.

Make you think you bust a nut from raw sex.

Enter through your right ventricle,

clog up your bloodstream.

Heart terminal, like Grand Central Station.

Fat bassline on Novation.

Getting drunk like I'm fucking dunking five year probation.

Yo, war of the masses.

Outcome disastrous.

Many of the victim families save the ashes.

A million names on walls, engraved in plaques.

But those who went back received penalties for their acts.

Another heart is torn as close ones mourn.

Those who stray, niggas get slayed.

Yo, yo, yo.

The track renders helpless, suffers multiple stab

wounds, making sounds heard.

93 million miles away from.

Came one to represent the nation.

This is a gathering of the masses.

Came to pay respect to my Wu Tang Clan.

As we engage in battle, crowd now screams in rage.

The high chief Jamel Irief takes the stage.

Light is provided through sparks of energy

from the mind, travels in rhyme from giving sight to the blind.

The dumb are mostly intrigued-- - By the drum.

Yeah.

Death, only one can save self from.

This relentless attack in the track spares none.

- Spares none. - Spares none.

Yo, yo, yo, fuck that.

Look at all these crab niggas laid back.

Lamping like them gray and black Pumas on my man's rack.

Codeine was forced in your drink.

Had a navy green salamander fiend.

Bitches overheard your scream.

You two-faces, scum of the slum, got his whole body numb.

Blowing like Shalamar in '81.

Sound convincing. - Come on, Ghost.

$1,000 cork pop convention.

Hands, Sonny Liston.

Gly.

I'll unfasten his wig.

Bad luck. I humiliate.

Separate the English from the Dutch.

It's me, Black noble Drew Ali.

Three.

Genovese, sazon season tehse degrees.

It's Earth, 93 million miles.

The rough turbulence, the wave burst.

Split the megahertz.

Ay yo.

That's amazing.

Gun in your mouth talk, verbal foul hawk.

Connect thoughts to make my man walk.

Swift notarizer, Blue Tang.

All up in the high riser.

New York Yank visor, word tranquilizer.

A dosage.

Delegate my clan with explosives while pen blow lines ferocious.

Mediterranean, see y'all.

The number one draft pick.

Tear down the beat, God.

Ah, the swift chancellor.

Flex the white gold tarantula.

Track truck diesel, play the weed God substantiala.

We max mostly, undivided, then slid in.

Sickening-- guaranteed made them jump like Rod Strickland.

Uh. Uh.

Uh. Uh.

Uh. Uh.

Uh.

Uh.

Uh.

Woo!

Uh!

Hip hop.

DJ Law of Mathematics, Hayes the drummer, the band Stone Mecca,

Talib Kweli, De La Soul, Nas Escobar, and the Wu Tang Clan,

RAPPER: Love y'all.

Fucking Seattle, baby.

RAPPER: As the God said, this is history in the making.

Hip hop celebrating 50 years.

Started, Kool DJ Herc brings out two turntables

and some speakers, gather people together,

and the culture is born.

But it didn't spread all around the world,

until somebody picked up one microphone

and picked their voice through that.

So right now, Seattle, could you pull your cell phones out?

Light them up to represent that one

microphone as the God Nas Escobar

teach you about this shit.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

One time.

Yeah.

One time.

Yeah.

One time for the real.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey.

Yeah, yeah yeah.

Yo, all I need is one mic, one beat,

one stage, one person front, my face on the front page.

Only if I had one gun, one girl, one crib, one God,

show me how to do things his son did.

Pure, like a cup of virgin blood, mixed with 151.

One sip probably made me flip.

See my name in the hieroglyphs.

Mad violence-- that's hood politics.

Acknowledge it.

We been on tricks.

Seeds watch us, grow up, try to follow us.

Police watch us, roll up, try knokcing us.

One knee, I ducked.

Could it be my time is up?

As I got up, the cop shot a--

fiend drops his Heineken.

Ricocheting between the spots I'm hiding it.

Blacking out as I fell back.

Fuck getting hit.

This is my hood.

I'm a rep to the death of it until everybody come home.

Little brothers is grown.

Hootrats, don't abortion your womb.

We need more warriors soon.

Sent from the stars, sun, and the moon.

In this life, police chases, street sweeper, coopers.

Stick-up kids with no conscious leaving victims with doctors.

If you really think you're ready to fly,

this is what Nas is about.

Wu Tang about.

One mic.

One.

On God.

RAPPER: Put them up.

All I needed was one mic.

RAPPER: The most illest MCs ever right here.

NAS: All we needed was one mic, two DJs, and most of all you.

One mic to spread our voice to the whole world.

We love you, Seattle.

Yeah.

We thank you.

Woo!

Love.

RAPPER: We thank you.

RAPPER: Yeah.

RAPPER: How y'all feeling out there?

Make some noise for yourself, y'all.

That way.

Hip hop shit.

What happened to peace?

RZA: Everybody put the peace sign up like this.
