[AyoGravityy]

Tyler the Creator chose the ball 6 times. 

[M1ST3RTH1RT3EN]

@AyoGravityy Tyler is a bitch

[hardy3236]

wellfeedmonkey cause WU tang is underground now

[mezalong]

Gza is one unique bastard, the voice and lyric style is crack on

[DSternwhs]

You don't understand my words, but you must choose

[wellfeedmonkey]

If this shit murders so much then why the fuck aint selling twice as much as it did then? Just sayin, Mostly cause that seems the case with all the old school 90's hip hop. People mostly youngsters hear and just bug out!

[RyanRoymega]

@wellfeedmonkey because popular opinion fucking blows and has for ages.. If you haven't noticed by now, most people are fucking dumb

[MrFR3323]

does ANYONE know what the sample in the beginning is from!?

[jay55234]

@MrFR3323

shougun assassins 

[MrFR3323]

@jay55234 i love you

[Ilovesalvia100]

ALL oldschool and some underground (aka immortal tech) are way better than lil wayne and ymcmb, maybach etc. poverty of philosophy.....learn up faggots, the government aint your friend

[bboyt]

[sbauroth]

[0bvIousFaiL35]

chicken heads gettin slim like olive oilmonly palnt the seed deep inside fertile soil.. S N A P

[Bgabs24]

just classic....nothing more, if it wasn't for beats like this a lot of producers would have never made it. Let's talk about the rythmes? "What our for haiti bitches, I heard they throw hex" - Raekwon - "I judge wisely as if nothing, never suprise me, lounging between two pillars of ivory", who says that....today?

[stlouis521]

@Bgabs24 raekwons not in this song first verse is ghostface second is killah priest third is RZA the last is GZA

[ben10420]

You can see the weakness of a man right through his iris

[fmwalters21]

@ben10420 such a sick line that comes out of nowhere- it's easy for a lot of people to miss it 2:41

[Himum87]

Friday!!!! SO excited!!!!

[etk1995]

is gza/genius the same person?

[YuckyMucky15]

@etk1995 yep he was known as genius before wutang

[etk1995]

@YuckyMucky15 thanks

[victoriaxosecret]

<3



[Genycis]

This joint is, and always will be a straight up certifiable classic! Tracks like this back in the day is what still inspires me current day to keep making beats... this joint is SICK!! Lyrically and instrumentally!

[99Sorc]

"I judge wisely as if nothing ever surprise me" - thats the way to live right there.

[jimmyhayers]

@rakimthegod1 Personally I think RZA is a bit deeper than GZA, all opinion though isn't it. My favourite lines are still from Meth though, he spits lines that after listening 10-20 times throughout your life you still keep finding double meanings hidden within them it's so good haha.

[YGriffiny2]

They should remake Shogun Assassin, but the only change should be The Gza should be given full audio mixing and soundtrack duties.

[nastyNAS668]

when gza said, " i've got mouths to feed, uneccessary beef is more cows to breed" i jizzed in my pants

[merph1]

how can you not love this song?

[SoRisible]

Tangwolf!

[SkillD1J]

A few drinks later I hear this song approaching, I slip into a retarded head rockn motion whispering the lyrics forever lost on the Wu trance.

I really shouldn't comment after those drinks....

[goldatra3]

I think this is the scond part of Shadowboxin

[MrSimpleFuc]

3 people missed out on the definition of an enjoyable track :/

[byknightsfall]

3 people aren't allowed into the chambers =/

[HitTheStixBRODIE]

Sometimes Rza has such nice lyrics but it's obvious he writes them before he hears the beat

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

@HitTheStixBRODIE Rza has lyrics for days, yeah he has a out of beat flow but thats his style and its dope.

[blooddrunkfools]

Daigoro! choose!

[2wstarks]

Cuz I won't hesitate to detonate "MY" short fuse.

[Kan00sH]

Yea, we used to get right to this song...good times.

[970films]

RZA's verse gets me everytime, so raw.

[antdaman1983]

one of the best gza wu tang clobo

[shotta0121]

All three verses blow your mind away.

[gaberobert]

It's actually "now watch me blow 'em out of shoes without clues, 'cause I won't hesitate to detonate my short fuse".. one of my favorite lyrics of all time..

[Ginsekushirokiba]

@gaberobert either one could be right, but either one still goes hard as hell for an ending line; shit sews this track UP!

[julienlefebvre1981]

Choose the sword, and you will join me

Choose the ball, and you join your mother... in death

You don't understand my words, but you must choose

So... come boy, choose life or death

[dannyfigs45]

this song is tehe shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[TheWarriorfrmConey]

classicccc

[halofreack123]

fucking old sql  best !!!

[bamhammer]

This is really buggin me but....

the last line of the song... doesn't GZA say "Cuz I won't hesitate to detonate ON short fuse."

Every lyrics page I search says "Cuz I won't hesitate to detonate, I'm short fuse."

^That makes a lot less sense. When a fuse is shorted, it's like a switch which detonates a bomb. I think that's what GZA was referring to...

[ColonelStinkmeaner]

always sounded like "I'm short fuse" to me

[kck1819]

@ColonelStinkmeaner I reckon it would then be "I'm short fused". Makes more sense than both the above.

thanks for uploading it with lyrics btw; I listen to this shit when I was a kid (in Holland) and didn't get half the shit, haha.

[disgustika]

@ColonelStinkmeaner I'm short fused.

[joedeschane1]

no shit? you think there buddy

[Ginsekushirokiba]

@bamhammer Now watch me blow him out his shoes without clues,

cause i wont HESITATE to DETONATE, im SHORT FUSED

\It's a reference to lighting a firecracker and getting away in time, pretty much; if you hold it in your hand, and it's short fused, right after you light it, you get got

Pretty much, "don't piss me off or i'll blow up in your face immediately.

Nigga!"

still a pretty ill way of saying it, though

[majesstik1]

@bamhammer

He says "I'm short fused". He's saying he has a short temper.

[majesstik1]

@bamhammer He says "I'm short fused." He's saying he has a short temper.

[jimmypreble]

@bamhammer

It's ON short fuse.

[RIOTPIR4TE]

@bamhammer i hear " detonate MY short fuse"

[GodlessMartyr666]

@bamhammer on A short fuse A short fuse , as you stated correctly, is the second setting or the third or fourth setting on a multiple setting timed hand grenade or "bomblet" The short fuse is the least amount of time between the safety handle/plunger coming off to inevitable ( unless it's a dud ) explosion. You are correct, but add an A

[GodlessMartyr666]

@bamhammer its actually MY short fuse, I just listened closer

definately MY, not I'm or on

[GhettoBlaster100]

@bamhammer its "I'm short fuse" if you listen close, he's saying that he has a short fuse so don't fuck with him or he'll go apeshit on your ass

[edmor7]

@bamhammer MY

[darlinchav]

@bamhammer sounds like he says "them short fuse"

[nittale]

@bamhammer GZA says "I'm short fused" meaning crazy

[fmcneillii]

@bamhammer I'm not too sure what you mean but the 2nd line makes better sense because "I'm short fused" it a saying for people who are easy to get unsettled. Basically if he detonates easily it means he is short fused.

[KrishanKSharma]

@bamhammer on short fuse

[KrishanKSharma]

@bamhammer on short fuse for deff lyric sights cant even spell olive oil, "olyv oyl" rofl

[bamhammer]

@bamhammer EVERY STOP RESPONDING TO MY COMMENT, IT'S OVER A YEAR OLD... I'M TIRED OF GETTING THE ALERTS!! LMAO

We'll all agree to disagree... I heard "detonate on short fuse" at first, but it's just the way he pronounces it. "I'm short fuse" makes sense.

[persiandaddy]

@bamhammer he's saying he has a short fuse...

[JORGEesCOOLIO]

@bamhammer He means he has a short fuse, like a bomb with a small fuse for the spark to travel through so it goes off quickly after being lit

[danbadd]

@bamhammer "I'm short fuzed" i.e. I have a short fuze/temper

[tehgreatist]

@bamhammer what? it makes sense either way... wtf are you taking about

[kkillbrb]

@bamhammer no he says i'm like he is a bomb a lyrical explosion

[twobit211]

@bamhammer i was about to disagree with all you had to say, so i gave it a `new ear`listen (got this slab when it first came out so it kinda just washes over me with good memories these days) and i must admit, YOU GOT IT RIGHT, and i`ve got it wrong all these yrs: it has to be ``ON short fuse`` good ear, brother

[MrBobbydigital86]

@bamhammer

"I'm short fuse" Means it takes less time for him to detonate aka someone with a short fuse can explode faster than someone else, they be crazy son.

[mistask8a]

im ugly

[FLOWSBAD001]

motha fukka dis shit is soooo fukkinb hard ass fukkkk

[KennyJucks]

still rocks *****

[TommyToughNuts69]

"I judge wisely, as if nothin ever surprise me

Loungin, between two pillars of ivory

I'm lively, my dome piece, is like buildin stones in Greece

my poems are deep from ancient thrones I speak

I'm overwhelmed, as my mind, roams the realm

My eye's the vision, memory is the film"

Best Part in that song The Three verse is fucking G too

[adamLTZ07]

Gritty and grimy...spittin fire.

[verbalhologram03]

best wu-tang song of all time???

[DariusElison]

One of the illest songs ever made and my personal favorite.

[emersonvestal]

damn this song is NASTY!!!!

[ninetyfive300zx]

brings me back to my jr high school years

[niggaplease20006]

thats what they say when that childish dribble comes out ya cocksucker

[victorh08]

you can see the weakness of a man right through his iris......why they dont make rap like this any more?????????

[kanada514]

Cause they`re too busy talking shit about how rich they are on weak beats.

Rap is supposed to be about poetry and anger and hunger. Not about gold chains and cars and hoes.

[DariusElison]

Why did Judas grab the romans while Jesus slept?

[1FUNDAMENTALIST1]

it's RAT to romans.......as in....he snitched on Jesus to the Romans...

[DariusElison]

I know what the fuck he is referring to. Who the fuck makes a comment like that. And your wrong. It's not "rat" cause he didn't "rat" he brought the romans to where Jesus was while he slept. Don't ever put a comment like that behind me again. Love the song and the fact that know one holds it down like the Gza. Peace God.

[1FUNDAMENTALIST1]

if you knew that was the lyric.....why the hell did you post it?

Did you even read my reply?
