Stringplay (Like This, Like That)

(album: Beneath The Surface - 1999)

[Method Man]
Uh, and it goes like this
Uh uh uh uh, it goes like that
Now let me tell you who I am
Up early in the morning, dressed in black
Who dat? [echoes]

[Genius/GZA]
Yo, yo, Marvel this theatrical, drama on stage
Broadway classical, led men to rage
Like currents, the beat change and now a flow is strange
You in the arctic wit wolves that viciously main
Thugs that roam clubs, in the dark wit fireworks that spark
The saltwater vibrations comin from sharks
Blood-thirsty kids bite just as well as I write
You're like secretaries who can't type, you're no use
Broke down vessels who want a boost, there's no jokes
Quick fast you, get stumped cuz you played, your organ pump Kool-Aid,
from Indiana wit the Jones of a Lost Crusade
Hip-hop done hit the church,
choir girls rockin mini skirts The b-side kept plenty hurt
Push like the shovels in snow storms
And stack piles of foul, the shit you must GROW ON! [echoes]

[Method Man]
Uh and it goes like this
Uh uh uh uh, it goes like that
Uh and it goes like this
Uh uh uh uh, it goes like that

Pay no attention to the evil they speak You caught the beef
Wit the equal eye, poisonous beats from underneath
Crack the concrete wit two left feet Head on my meat
Ain't no games here we playin for keeps (WE PLAY FOR KEEPS!)
Introducing, the crowd seducing man on the street
Penitentiaries is either half-dead or too sweet
Back to basic, condition-al god, plus I can take it
Wagin war within the matrix, it's hard to see
Touch, hear, smell or even taste it, take your places
We runnin in these human races, bucking naked
Back-slappin kid yappin, actin villian
catchin feelin like we cap peelin as if we killin
every brick in every project building
From Cabrini Green to Tildens,
sincerely yours Mista Meth and Maximilion (da millions, da millions)
(Ka ka ka ka ka ka ka KAAA!) (da millions ha!)

Uh and it goes like this
Uh uh uh uh, it goes like that
Uh and it goes like this
Uh uh uh uh, it goes like that
Uh and it goes like this
Uh uh uh uh, it goes like that
Uh and it goes like this
Uh uh uh uh, it goes like that

Uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh uh
Wu-Tang Killa Bees on the swarm
(WE PLAY FOR KEEPS!)
(WE PLAY FOR KEEPS!)
Wu-Tang Killa Bees on the swarm
And it goes like this
