swordsmen by gza

i'm not caught up in politics,
i'm no black activist on a so-called scholars dick,
i come through with the wu and drop maths,
and versatile freestyles; bombs and phonographs,
and deliver all things - and others in weight,
searched to death on how living things relate,
'cos at a young age i was moulded in a religion i relied on and got caught up in superstition,
scared to split poles, duck black cats, once in a while threw salt over my back,
but with knowledge of self i'm off the shelf,
made things seem complicated but now small like elves
so turn off the lights, light a candle, have a seance, pull the lid off the Dean Martin scandle,
witches, warlocks, spooks and holy ghosts,
rza lets defraud the hoaz.


that is one of the best verses ever written in my opinion. the whole song flows and the underlying theme is about reality, superstition, religion.

the lines kind of run into each other a lot so take the verse as one long sentence
