Liquid Swords Lyrics
Artist: The Genius/GZA (Buy The Genius/GZA CDs)
Album: Liquid Swords
Intro One: (not included on 7")
When I was little... my father was famous.
He was the greatest sam-urai in the empire;
and he was the Shogun's decapitator.
He cut off the heads of a hundred and thirty-one lords.
It was a bad time for the empire.
The Shogun just stayed inside his castle -- and he never came out.
People said his brain was infected by DEVILS.
My father would come home -- he would forget about the killings.
He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him.
Maybe that was the problem.
Then, one night... the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house.
They were supposed to kill my father... but they didn't.
*woman screams*
That was the night everything changed *voice fades*
Intro Two: RZA
See, sometimes...
You gotta flash em back
See niggaz don't know where this shit started
Y'all know where it came from
I'm sayin we gonna take y'all back to the swords
We bounce, yo
Chorus: RZA, GZA
When the MC's came, to live our their name
And to perform (forrrrm)
Some had, to snort cocaine (caiiinnne) to act insane (sannne)
with before Pete Rock-ed it on, now gone
that the mental plane (plaaanne) to spark the brain (brainnn)
with the building to be born
Yo RZA flip the track with the what to guy
Check em check chicka icka etta UHH
Verse One:
Fake niggaz get blitzed
and mic bites I swing swords and cut clowns
Shit is too swift to bite you record and write it down
I flow like the blood on a murder scene, like a syringe
on some loud howl shit, to insert a fiend
But it was yo ock, the shop stolen heart
Catch a swollen heart from not rollin smart
I put mad pressure, on phony wack rhymes that get hurt
Shit's played, like zodiac signs on sweatshirt
That's minimum, and feminine like sandals
My minimum table stacks a verse on a gamble
Energy is felt once the cards are dealt
With the impact of roundhouse kicks from black belts
that attack, the mic-fones like cyclones or typhoon
I represent from midnight to high noon
I don't waste ink, nigga I think
I drop megaton BOMBS more faster than you blink
Cause rhyme thoughts travel at a tremendous speed
Clouds of smoke, of natural blends of weed
Only under one circumstance is if I'm blunted
Turn that shit up, my clan in da front want it
Chorus
Verse Two:
I'm on a Mission, that niggaz say is Impossible
But when I swing my swords they all choppable
I be the body dropper, the heartbeat stopper
Child educator, plus head amputator
Cause niggaz styles are old like Mark 5 sneakers
Lyrics are weak, like clock radio speakers
Don't even stop in my station and attack
while your plan failed, hit the rail, like Amtrak
What the fuck for? Down by law, I make law
I be justice, I sentence that ass two to four
round the clock, that state pen time check it
With the pens I be stickin but you can't stick to crime
Came through with the Wu, slid off on the DL
I'm low-key like seashells, I rock these bells
Now come aboard, it's Medina bound
Into the chamber, and it's a whole different sound
It's a wide entrance, small exit like a funnel
So deep it's picked up on radios in tunnels
Niggaz are fascinated how the shit begin
Get vaccinated, my logo is branded in your skin
Chorus

GZA aka the 'genius' is rocking my town full performance of liquid swords....Sweeeeet....(Iowa city, ia april 1st)
I remember back in the fall of 95. driving thru a tornado storm jus to cop the lp. In my 89 corolla. Wow! Hip hop will never be the same.
sickest song ... ever
Sick lyrics, they're so awesome
hello my friends i got a question ...
Can you tell me wich movie is the INTRO talkin about shogun and samurai ???
thanks
The intro is from "Shogun Assassin,"
which is one dope-ass movie. It's hard to find and you'll probably have to order it online, but it's worth the money. So sick the way this samurai cuts it up. Also note, Gza uses a LOT of clips from the movie in his whole album Liquid Swords. Str8 up, I remember listening to this when I was 15 back in 95 - str8 up Long Island style
It's wu tan for the crown.
I like GZA but they are better as a team.
The Genius.
Props to those who grew up with this shit. I'm in the process of discovery...and...it's...amazing.
There was a year long gap between Liquid Swords and the first Ghostface album...I WORE THIS OUT...holloween '95. Listening to this album on LSD will really mess with your head with RZA's production subtle sound fx and GZA's crazy deep lyrics. I lament how GZA's latest work lacks verbal emotion. Great verbosity though. Peace.
This was the first wu tang song I ever heard, back when i was in grade 9, listenin to this shit.. good times
I met Gza and he is the coolest chillest guy. No crowd of body guards or fancy cars. He keeps it real when he's just chilling in a city he's visiting.
This is the worst sounding song ever.
Amazing lyrics the whole album thru. One correction, it's "like a syringe on some wild out shit to insert a fiend"
This song was, is, and will be hot forever. I'm 40yrs old and I don't care what yall youngsters think when I pull up bumping this knowledge in my caddy.
the opening sample is from Shogun Assassin I. DOPE movie, I found there are 4 other movies that I copped off Amazon.com at a decent price. They're dope too, Daigoro (the cub) becomes more involved while pops (the lone wolf) kills everyone. While I digress...this song and album is tied with Only Built 4 Cuban Linx for best Wu solo jawn. WU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
music is music man
GZA
black people untie!
Play this shit loud regularly as a general wackness repellent.
This is the fuckin' definition of Lyric. GZA 4Ever n' Ever
Hype as fuck
This shit is whack as hell. Ya'll need to listen to Lil Wayne, Souljaboytellem, and Waka Flocka Flame. Now that's dope
itt
These new Niggas no names sike Drake ect. need to listen & learn ! Me Love old school like cooked food ...
ghostface killah and gza destroy lil wayne and other fake rappers lil wayne was good at one time but now he is fake as hell litsen to the song drama on apollo kids its a slap to the face to lil wayne
I believe you stop eating food and replace it with liquid swords and it would sustain you until extreeme old age
WU TANG!!There needs to be an new wu that has the best mcs from this generation that would be fuckin dope
mistrz �wiata
Fuck Lil wayne
Dis album is efffin classic. Bottom line. Hip hop in it's truest form uncut and raw for you Lil Wayne lovin Fags
Im 35, been listening to Liquid Swords since it dropped way back in 1995...and currently been listening to it in my car the last six months to and from the office, and I still don't get tired of it...
C'est du pur son et song writting merci que dire de plus merci... du pur genie... Ma voiture ne s'en plaindra jamais and neither do I
wide entrance, small exit like a funnel. so deep it's picked up by radios in tunnels.

That's minimum, and feminine like sandals!
DOPE!!
This is an amazing track, much love for the old wu, real hip hop is gone
Rmike embarass yourself and google what are the four elements of hiphop
hiphop lives in bboying
Classic Wu in its purest Hop-Fu
I grew up on this stuff, Wu Tang is and has always been on another level, moving away from levels and into echelons, and this song just simply serves as a reminder:
"See, sometimes...
You gotta flash em back
See niggaz don't know where this shit started
Y'all know where it came from
I'm sayin we gonna take y'all back to the swords"
nope you're an asshole
@ I HEART BET. Fuck you and your lame ass music, lil wayne and soulja boy are garbage son. they all "rap" about the same shit; money, cars, and hoes. Wu-Tang Forever!
these lyrics are terribly inaccurate
Incredibly raw, I jerk off to this song three times a day.
fuck all the new artists...wu 4 eva...odb rip...and gza is a genius and 50 is an idiot...fuck GAY UNIT
GZA is a Genius! Mac Miller sucks
this is fuckin dope 4 lif
Forever the greatest they got that WU-doo going.
Its "low key like Seychelles."
Not seashells. They don't call him the genius for nothin'
Sick song mad respect this IS RAP!
