Duel of the Iron MIC

 

Intro:

 

Ohh mad one

We see your trap

You can never escape, your fate

Submit with honor to a duel, with my son

 

I agree

 

I see you using an old style, I wondered where you had learned it from

You know very well, it's yours too

[Yo God, it's a duel, it's a duel] Heh, by the Gods, will you show me?

[buck buck buck buck buck buck ] And where do you come for?

[Duel of the Iron Mic ] You come here, since you're so interested

[Duel of the Iron Mic ] Fight me

[in the moonlight niggaz I will strike]

[What, what? Bring it!]

 

Verse One: The Genius

 

Yo

Picture bloodbaths and elevator shafts

Like these murderous rhymes tight from genuine craft

Check the print, it's where veterans spark the letterings

Slow moving MC's is waitin for the editin

The liquid soluble that made up the chemistry

A gaseous element, that burned down your ministry

Herbal vapors, and biblical papers

Smokin Exodus, every square yard is plush

Fuck the screw-faced photo sessions facial expression

leaves impressions, try to keep a shark nigga guessin

Give crazy shouts Son here's the outcome

Cut across the semi-gloss rhymes you floss

Shit is outdated, just like neckloads of Sterlings

Suede-fronts, bell-bottoms, and tri-colored Shearlings

I ain't particular, I bang like vehicular homicides

on July 4th in Bed-Stuy

Where money don't grown on trees and there's thievin MC's

Who cut-throat to rake leaves

They can't breathe, blood splash, rushin fast

like runnin rivers, I be that whiskey in your liver

 

Chorus: Ol Dirty Bastard

 

Duel of the Iron Mic!

It's the fifty-two fatal strikes!

 

Verse Two: Master Killer

 

This is not a eighty-five affair, made clear

when the Gods get on to perform storms blew up

Wu's up, causin the crowd to self-destruct

Killer bees are stingin somethin while I reveal

Science, that's heavily guarded by the culprit

Bombin your barracks, with aerodynamic

swordplay, poison darts by the doorway

Minds that's laced with explosive doses

Damagin lyrical launcher

Lunge at the youthful offender then injure

any contender, testin the murderous Master

could lead to disaster, dynamite thoughts

explode through your barrier, rips the retina

Who can withstand the astonishing punishing

Stings to the sternum, shocked in the hip-hop livestock

Seekin for a serum, to cure em

 

Verse Three: Inspector Deck

 

Adults kill for drugs plus the young bucks bust

Duckin handcuffs, throats get cut when dough rush

Out of town foes look shook but still pose

We move like real pros through the streets we stroll

Bullet holes lace the windows in one-six oh

So control the avenues that's the dream that's sold

Building lobbies are graveyards for small-timers

Bitches caught in airports, keys in they vaginas

No peace, yo the police mad corrupt

You get bagged up, dependin if you're passin the cut

Plus shorty's not a shorty no more, he's livin heartless

Regardless of the charges, claims to be the hardest

individual, critical thoughts, criminal minded

Blinded by illusion, findin it confusin

 

Outro: Ol Dirty Bastard

 

Duel of the iron mics [The master, he must be dreaming, heh]

It's that fifty-two fatal strikes [Well, if he is dreaming...]

Duel of the iron mics [...then he must be asleep]

It's that fifty-two fatal strikes, NUH [And if he is asleep]

[then I will wake him up!]

[WeahhhHAAH-HAH-HAH!]

 

At the height of their fame and glory, they turned on one another

Each struggling in vain for ultimate supremacy

In the passion and depth of their struggle

They very art, that had raised them through such rapiant heights was lost

Their techniques, vanished

I gotcha' back

 

Chorus: GZA and RZA

 

I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front

Cause it's the niggaz that front, they be pullin stunts

I gotcha back, but you best to watch your front

Cause it's the niggaz who front (they be pullin stunts)

 

Lyrics:

 

GZA-

 

I was always taught my do's and don'ts

For do's I did, and for don'ts, I said I won't

I'm from Brooklyn, a place where stars are born

Streets are shot up, apartment buildings are torn

and ripped up, stripped up, shacked up and backed up

from fiends, cause the bosses on the scene, they got it cracked up

Kids are slingin in my lobby

Little Steve and Bobby

Gettin paid but it's a life-threatening hobby

Yeah, they still play hide and seek

The fiends seek for the crack, and they hide and let the cops peep

Grown folks say they should be out on their own

Before the gangs come and blow up their mom's home

Because they lifestyle is hectic, so fuckin hectic

Blaow! Blaow! Blaow! Bullets are ejected

My lifestyle was so far from well

Coulda wrote a book with a title "Age 12 and Goin through Hell"

Then I realized the plan

I'm trapped in a deadly video game, with just one man

So I don't only watch my back, I watch my front

Cause it's the niggaz who front, they be pullin stunts

Back on the Ave of Lavonia and Bristol with a pistol

Stickin up Pamela and Crystal

You know your town is dangerous when you see the strangest

kid come home from doin the bid and nuthin changes

What is the meaning of CRIME (what?)

Is it Criminals Robbin Innocent Motherfuckers Everytime?

Little shorties take walks to the schoolyard

Tryin to solve the puzzles to why is life so hard

Then as soon as they reached the playground, blaow!

Shots ring off and now one of them lay down

It's so hard to escape the gunfire

I wish I could rule it out like an umpire

But it's an everlasting game, and it never cease to exist

Only the players change, so...

 

Chorus 3X

 

RZA - I gotcha back (8X)

I gotcha back so you best to watch your front

Cause it's the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts

I gotcha back but you best to watch your front

It's the niggaz who front, that be pullin stunts

 

Outro: (LP version only)

 

*old man*

Your, tech, nique, is, mag-ni-ficent

When cut across the neck

A sound like wailing winter winds is heard, they say

I'd always hoped to cut someone like that someday

To hear that sound

But to have it happen to my own neck is... ridiculous

*man gasps for air*
