Hook
Steel sharp words when I speak, leave a scar
Shaolin shadows ride deep in the car
West Coast sun with a Staten Island cold
36 chambers, heart still bold
Hands stay ready, mind stay lethal
Street math dirty, wisdom cathedral
Verse 1
From the dojo to the driveway, chalk lines and concrete
Lessons in the cipher, survival on repeat
Ice in my stare, but the soul stay warm
Built from the pressure, baptized in the storm
Mic grip heavy like a gavel in court
Every bar hit hard like a case you can’t sort
Cube in the voice when I talk that truth
But the Clan in the breath when I spark that youth
Hook
Steel sharp words when I speak, leave a scar
Shaolin shadows ride deep in the car
West Coast sun with a Staten Island cold
36 chambers, heart still bold
Hands stay ready, mind stay lethal
Street math dirty, wisdom cathedral
Verse 2
Chessboard thinking, every move got weight
Pawn to a king, still controlling fate
Knowledge drop gems like a Wu-style sermon
While the block stay loud with the bassline burden
No Hollywood shine, this that hard-earned glare
Stories from the curb still hanging in the air
Speak for the wolves and the kids with hope
Got a fist full of truth and a pen full of dope
Bridge
Meditate before the war drums beat
Pray for the lost, then I hit the street
Mind over matter, blade over fear
Legacy loud, can you hear it clear
Hook
Steel sharp words when I speak, leave a scar
Shaolin shadows ride deep in the car
West Coast sun with a Staten Island cold
36 chambers, heart still bold
Hands stay ready, mind stay lethal
Street math dirty, wisdom cathedral
Outro
From the East to the West, let the speakers preach
Ancient ways mixed with the modern streets
No capes, no crowns, just truth on wax
Wu in the spirit, Cube in the facts
