[Skit: Gibran Evans]
When I was little, my father was famous
He was the greatest samurai in the empire
And he was the Shogun's decapitator
He cut off the heads of 131 lords
It was a bad time for the empire
The Shogun just stayed inside his castle and he never came out
People said his brain was infected by devils
My father would come home, he would forget about the killings
He wasn't scared of the Shogun, but the Shogun was scared of him
Maybe that was the problem
Then, one night, the Shogun sent his ninja spies to our house
They were supposed to kill my father but they didn't
*Woman screaming*
That was the night everything changed
[Intro: RZA]
See, sometimes
You gotta flash 'em back
See, niggas don't know where this shit started
Y'all know where it came from
I'm sayin', we gonna take y'all back to the source
Through knowledge, yo
[Chorus: RZA + GZA]
When the MCs came to live out the name
And to perform, some had
To snort cocaine, to act insane
Before Pete Rocked it on
Now gone off the mental plane, to spark the brain
With the building to be born
Yo, RZA, flip the track with the what to cut
When I was little, my father was famous
