Path Of Destruction

(album: Pro Tools - 2008)

[GZA]
He was raised in a house, where he got scared of attention
Twisted, yet methodical mind, not to mention
Circus like atmosphere, story book upbringing
Neighborhood full of married couple who love swinging
Creature lived the life, he spent it in the spotlight
A teacher was his wife who was stabbed and shot twice
They attended a church, where they both were active
And a little bit of rope, he gave others attracted
He rule with the iron hand, if the mural wasn't hot enough
Then he'll swing the frying pan
Heavy as the hammer of Thor, you know he suffer from the consequences
Of broken vowels and law
A convicted felon for armed robbery
At the time where he had sank into deep poverty
Forsaken by his mother and father, Christ achieving the talent
He attended the sheet on the path of destruction
On the path of destruction...

[Sample (GZA)]
And these prisons held yesterdays juvenile delinquents
Convicts who entered crime, even before they entered puberty (on the path of destruction)
They remember how old I was when I first got in trouble
Me? Around nine, nah, six, seven

[GZA]
He ended up on the block with kid scooters and ice cream
But ended out in foster home, unti lhe was 19
Stealing for food and didn't do for enjoyment
At the time of lay off, shut down and unemployment
He move into a new world, and seek this fortune
And suited himself to the times with extortions
A hustle that was ruled by men and murder
He earned enough his daily bread and wanted to move further
He knew no good, come from such a sin
Had issues as a kid, so he held it all within
And he pursued the game so happy, on a path of destruction
Even though the road was rocky
Very caught up in his own drive for dominance
And to know that he would pay in the end was common sense
Some saw he had a long deserved death
And then he felt the lead when they were told he left

[Sample (GZA)]
These young civilians move to an assault and battery
Plus, mortal techniques, breaking and entering, burglary
Purse snatching (on the path of destruction)
Shoplifting, hand graffiti, crash and stolen property
Possessing and distribution of narcotics
Illegal posession of weapon, assaulting a police officer
Larceny (on the path of destruction)
