Lyrics
0:01Swordsman - Genius/GZA
0:20When a motherf**ker steps out his place
0:23And gets slapped in his motherf**kin' face
0:25Just because the motherf**ker tried to base
0:28The ship you take the ship you take
0:30And while I see his whole click passes by
0:33Motherf**kers think they qualify
0:35And for those niggaz want to try
0:38The ship you take the ship you take
0:41Yo
0:42I'm not caught up in politics
0:43I'm no black activist on a so called scholars d*ck
0:47I come through with the wu and drop math
0:49And versatile freestyles bombs and phonographs
0:51And deliver all things and other in weight
0:54Searched to death on how living things relate
0:56'Cause at a young age
0:58I was molded in a religion I relied on
1:00And got caught up in superstition
1:02Scared to split pole duck black cats
1:04Once in a while threw salt over my back
1:07But with knowledge of self from off the shelf
1:09Made things seemed complicated now small like elves
1:12So turn off the lights light a candle and have a seance
1:15Pull the lid off the dean martin scandal
1:17Witches warlocks spooks and holy ghosts
1:20Rza lets defraud the host
1:22When a motherf**ker steps out his place
1:24And gets slapped in his god damned face
1:27Just because the motherf**ker tried to base
1:30The ship you take the ship you take
1:32And while I see his whole click passes by
1:35Motherf**kers think they qualify
1:37And for those niggaz want to try
1:40The ship you take the ship you take
1:43We were on the same ship when the slaves were checked
1:46I had to pull your card you was on the top deck
1:48So I plotted my escape
1:50I saw the thin line between love and hate
1:52And fast from the hog on the plate
1:53I suffered brutal pains from whips and chains
1:56Punishments that were set to wash the brain
1:59So look listen observe and also respect this jewel
2:02Drawed up di tect and reflect this
2:04Light I shine that 'cause my power to be find
2:06Through the truth which manifest through eternal minds
2:09Purified gases and masses the same elements
2:12That helped spark civilization classes
2:14I see brothers quote math plus degrees
2:17Look at professor *ss niggaz can't feed they own seeds
2:19When a motherf**ker steps out his place
2:21And gets slapped in his motherf**kin' face
2:24Just because the motherf**ker tried to base
2:26The ship you take the ship you take
2:29And while I see his whole click passes by
2:32Motherf**kers think they qualify
2:34And for those niggaz want to try
2:37The ship you take the ship you take
2:39When a motherf**ker steps out his place
2:42And gets slapped in his god damn face
2:45Just because the motherf**ker tried to base
2:47The ship you take the ship you take
2:50And while I see his whole click passes by
2:52Motherf**kers think they qualify
2:55And for those niggaz want to try
2:57The ship you take the ship you take
