Mesmerize Songtext

von RZA

Stressed out in an exclusive
(This is a Wu-Tang International world premiere, bodo dodo dodo)
Oh my God, I think I'm a havin' a rap attack

Go ahead and call me suburban slums of the chick
Though you don't know shit about me
Black refugee, twelve'll automatically
Shit is funny, the way you think I'm on your money
Seein' mathematics, you think I'm makin' stacks, son

After I eat, the release hit, the more mouthes to feed
Back in Ave., countin' my gift to Gap
No shame in holdin' cream but it ain't what it seems
And now I know how y'all hate when niggas make the greens
Know what I mean?

See your eyes bleedin' and envy Allah in Sweden
Britain, Bahamians beemin' hatin' on my achievements
Schemin' and turbans, try to cause turbulence
And my essence, can't none of that shit touch my maintenance

Niggas all bling, bling, don't know how to handle the thing
It's not about how much you earn, it's how you spend
And I choose life before any God, damn rights
Steppin' on some Satan shit but I only fear twice

You on some hostile negative vibes
Negative lies, the style only makes me rise
To the top, mind states it and makes me wise
I'ma keep a step ahead and mesmerize

You on some hostile negative vibes
Negative lies, the style only makes me rise
To the top, mind states it and makes me wise
I'ma keep a step ahead and mesmerize

Growin' up I feel like an old soul trapped in a child's body
Mad strain on my brain but I kept most inside of me
Peeps tried to lock me out like, yeah, fun, it's for more
For sure, was a quiet type and inside a drawer

Straight outta war, couldn't ignore, scenes I was seein'
Quicker human being, part of Fam, by RZA, one would kill him
Couldn't feel him, period had to get articulate
To express the mess, pen and paper and got blessed

Unless I make my path straight when I came I ate
I be on some other shit on the news front page
A heart filled wit rage, feel the pain after pain
Converted shit to positive things, I project on stage

Now they wanna hate on my shine, hate on my kind
But I know it's envy kid, I feel in my spine
Ain't nothing y'all can say or do to make me change my point of view
You better change your attitude or I'ma get this bitch, son

You on some hostile negative vibes
Negative lies, the style only makes me rise
To the top, mind states it and makes me wise
I'ma keep a step ahead and mesmerize

You on some hostile negative vibes
Negative lies, the style only makes me rise
To the top, mind states it and makes me wise
I'ma keep a step ahead and mesmerize

This is a Wu-Tang International world premiere
(Oh my God, I think I'm havin' a rap attack)

My crouching tiger, gotta go hard but still a fighter
Survivor, y'all can keep yappin' on the cypher
I'm tighter, the son got problems facin' the facts
I'm killin' tracks, do your own things, pick up your acts
Matter of fact, if this is for y'all to keep in mind, 073-6291535

And sure you on lead, whether you hit this bleed
RZA ger dig akta grejer
(RZA gives you the real stuff)

If you ain't been through shit, how can you know shit?
If you talk that shit, if you get ya bones split
I been bitin' my tongue, every time I heard somethin'
But now it's on and keep in mind where I'm from

You on some hostile negative vibes
Negative lies, the style only makes me rise
To the top, mind states it and makes me wise
I'ma keep a step ahead and mesmerize

You on some hostile negative vibes
Negative lies, the style only makes me rise
To the top, mind states it and makes me wise
I'ma keep a step ahead and mesmerize
