Lyrics Wu-Tang Clan

Wu-Tang Clan

Hold the Heater

Windshield, rappers are like gnats

They're gettin' splattered 'pon the windshield

Fallin' down like London Bridge, my blade split your onion head

Axe that like Paul Bunyan, Meth prefers the gun instead

Bong bong, put a hole inside your head

We keep it rugged

We keep it rough

We keep it real

We keep it raw

(2x)

How come the streets don't want me to live?

Plus my niggas keep tellin' me fibs

But the devil done poisoned my wiz

I'm doin' this for my family and kids

I'm tryna be wealthy, take my time right and stay healthy

Said it before but I don't think nobody felt me

Yo tried to understand this hand that this life dealt me

I'm on the verge of a whole new makeover

My fake friends, they can take it like a takeover

I'm ready to eat, I'm ready to grip it

Got enemies everywhere, I got chicks that's wicked

Sick shit, niggas doin' wicked ass wig shit

Bid shit, tellin' jakes that I had the biscuit

Niggas be wantin' my leftovers

I'm like a general that died and lost some of his best soldiers

I burn holsters and I kill that dirt religion

Murk that pigeon and I shoot the television

Got that trey pound on you, run down on you

Hard boiled nigga, Clan top soil

My fam straight royal, I'm a die loyal

When them shooters come for you, better throw your flag 'em

I'm pure gun oil, let 'em see that hand cannon

Foundation strong, never ride a bandwagon

Andrew Jacksons, hand-to-hand transaction

Cops jumped out, caught him with his pants saggin'

Criminal individuals up in here

Wild like the theme park ride called The Buccaneer

Weed in the Tupperware, throw you off the upper tiers

Suweeee, I got all my niggas up in here

We keep it rugged

We keep it rough

We keep it real

We keep it raw

(2x)

Imagine the sound of your face scrapin' up against the gate

Of a barbed wire fence, this is barbed iron fist

Heartthrob, iron dick, hoes slob the nob quick

This is odd, so throw it in your iPod quick

Lifeless activity, constant movement

Buyin' elasticity, such improvement

Sword held to where it collapses inward

Spillin' rhymes if it's Shaolin vineyards

RZA had a mixture, then he added sound to the picture

Co-author rewrote the scripture

Math worked from birth, doubled the net worth

Amplified in the time machine of early Earth

A two-way radio, simple yet complex

Receivers, transmitters, interest to contacts

The emergence of the earliest atoms

Transform to a level extremely hard to fathom

Same soup, different bowl, Wu ceramics

Same group on them large-scale dynamics

A wave triggered the burst, glass was shattered

Galactic matter served on a graphic platter

We keep it rugged

We keep it rough

We keep it real

We keep it raw

(2x)

Overachiever, power hungry overeater

I95, whip fly like an overseer

I'm overconfident but some might say I'm overeager

Or overzealous, especially when it's over cheeba

I got a soldier's features, I rock the coldest sneakers

My sneakers' so cold, can't wear 'em 'less you hold the heater

Can't push me over either, that go for dojas

I ain't got no love for posers neither, keep my composure

I'm focused, tryna roll the reefer, let's turn it up

Forget the cope, I'm tryna blow the speaker, that's all he wrote

One verse could turn your soul to ether

It's time you gave me my respects just like the old Aretha, Mr. Meth

We keep it rugged

We keep it rough

We keep it real

We keep it raw

(2x)
