Yes, I got you started, yes, I got you started!
[Intro: Raekwon]
Uh... yeah..
This is on some Can It Be/C.R.E.A.M. shit, right here, too
Yeah, word up, take it there for these niggas, you know
Word up? Yo.. uh-huh, reminisce, nigga
Word up, nice sunny day, rainy day
Preferable for you and yours, let`s blow, yo
[Raekwon]
Who would of thought I would of made it ya`ll
Ten years later, still in the gid-game, the Clan, we was one the greatest
We did platinum back in `93, we painted pictures you could see
We was living who ya`ll tryin` to be
RZA had a vision, instead of cookin coke in the kitchen
He told the God, hit the booth and start spittin
At first it was a dream to me, Ol` Earth buggin
Put your gun down, screamin that the streets is gon` be needin me
I did the Knowledge to the Wisdom that you spoke to me
The Wu become us, the world enbraced us
A new day, a new life for the God
Got a hood thing, watchin Ice Water evolve
Destined to build a mountain - niggaz is doubtin my work
Black millionaire, check what I`m worth
I gotta thank y`all for takin in Lex, I appreciate it
I apoligize for keepin y`all waitin
[Interlude: sample (Raekwon)]
Yes I got you started all over again (2X)
(Word up... let`s go back... finish up)
[Raekwon]
Growin` up, we`ve been through hard times
Life on the streets, just tryin` survive
Plus my niggas got mouth`s to feed
We sold to crack fiends, coke, ice and money machines
Shootin` at cops, them maggots tried to stop our C.R.E.A.M
But it won`t stop, can`t stop, my niggas locked down in a box
I feel your pain, I know you`re tryin` to come home
All that weak bullshit, I had to leave it alone
Heard my mom`s cryin` at night, we rap on the phone, I love you
Never meant to stress you out, do you wrong, yo I`m workin
Then move you from a block to a home
We came from nothin`, seein` how the world is so cold
Some niggas comin` out of churches sellin` devil their soul, yo
My neighborhood is crime central, sort of like prisons and cops
One on lock, instead of tryin` to defend you
All that bullshit we`ve been through, time to draw the line right here
Got to stop now, time is the issue
[Interlude: sample (Raekwon)]
Yes I got you started all over again (2X)
(One more jewel... one more... move... let`s go, let`s go)
[Raekwon]
It`s time to rebuild, teach our seeds, that guns don`t kill
It`s the nigga behind the trigger that will
Society`s ill, blacks support seeds for their mills
Mentally brainwashed, time moves on, we stand still
I seen life through the birth of my son, I seen it all again
A soldier stuck in these streets, hopin` it`s war within
Too late to fall now, I`m on now
Niggas is born now, we doin` good, we on tour now
Elevate your prosperity, I`m seein` shit with clarity
No longer on the low, pa, I couldn`t handle thieves
Too much to live for, I just wanna poly and grow
Stack ones and watch my little dun`s blow
[Outro: sample]
Yes I got you started all over again (4X)
