Genius Lyrics

   Without a doubt one of the finest lyricists in hip-hop, the Genius aka GZA never ceases to amaze listeners with his intricately constructed rhyme style. The eldest cousin of RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard, he was the first Wu member to appear on wax with Words From the Genius (1991). Label hassles hampered the album, but he returned with a vengeance on the Clan's 1993 debut and his 1995 classic Liquid Swords. One of the most impressive albums from the Wu camp, Liquid Swords showcased RZA's trademark beats and GZA's devastating microphone mastery. Besides lacing the Wu's second album with his wordy wisdom, the chess-playing rhyme-spitter released his solo follow-up Beneath the Surface in 1999. Like Rakim before him, the Genius has raised the standard by which all emcees are judged. His extraordinary abilities on the mic demand repeated listening, and his profound urban poetry is in a class by itself. In 2003 he returned to the scene with the dope (and mad under-rated) Legend of the Liquid Sword.

Genius Song Lyric:

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Shit is outdated, just like neckloads of sterlings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 lioke 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
Bulding 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
