GZA/Genius, Ghostface Killah, GZA, RZA, Killah Priest - 4th Chamber

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.

[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
The only man a ho wait for
Is the sky-blue Bally kid, in '83 rocked Tale-Lords,
My Memorex, performed tape decks, my own Fostex,
Watch out for Haiti bitches, I heard they throw hex.
Yo, Wu whole platoon is filled with raccoons,
Corner-sittin' wine niggas sippin' apple Boone,
This ain't no white cartoon,
'Cause I be duckin' crazy spades,
The kid hold white shit like blacks rock ashy legs.
Why is the sky blue? Why is water wet?
Why did Judas rat to Romans while Jesus slept?
Stand up, you're outta luck like two dogs stuck,
Ironman be sippin' rum, out of Stanley Cups, unflammable.
Noriega, aimin' nozzles stay windy in Chicago,
Spine-tingle, mind boggles,
Kangols in rainbow colors, promoters try to hold dough,
Give me mine before po wrap you up in so-and-so.
I ran the Dark Ages, Constantine the Great, Henry the Eighth
Built with Genghis Khan, the red suede Wally don.

[Verse 2: Killah Priest]
I judge wisely as if nothing ever surprise me,
Loungin' between two pillars of ivory,
I'm lively, my dome piece is like building stones in Greece,
Our poems are deep, from ancient tomes I speak.
I'm overwhelmed as my mind roams the realm,
My eye's the visions, memory is the film,
Others act sub-tile, but they fragile above cloud,
They act wild and couldn't budge a crowd.
No matter how loud they get, though they growl and spit,
Clutch they fists and throw up signs like a Crip
And throw all types of fit,
I leave them split like ass cheeks and ragged pussy lips.

[Verse 3: RZA]
Ayo, camouflage chameleon ninjas scalin' your building,
No time to grab the gun, they already got your wife and children,
A hit was sent from the President to raid your residence,
Because you had secret evidence and documents
On how they raped the continents and lynched the prominent
Dominant Islamic, Asiatic black Hebrew.
The year 2002, the battle's filled with the Wu,
Six million devils just died from the bubonic flu,
Or the Ebola virus under the reign of King Cyrus,
You can see the weakness of a man right through his iris.
Unloyal snakes get thrown in boiling lakes of hot oil,
Up boils your skin, chickenheads gettin' slim like Olive Oyl.
Only plant the seed deep inside fertile soil,
Fortified with essential vitamin and minerals,
Use the sky for a blanket, stuffin' clouds inside my pillow,
Rollin' with the Lamb, Twelve Tribes a 144, 000 chosen,
Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosions.

[Verse 4: GZA]
The banks a G, all CREAM downs a bet,
Money feed good, opposites off the set,
It ain't hard to see my seeds need God-degree,
I got mouths to feed, unnecessary beef is more cows to breed.
I'm on some tax-free shit by any means,
Whether bounty-hit scheme or some counterfeit CREAM,
I learned much from such swift cons, who run scams,
Veterans got the game spiced like ham.
And from that, sons are born and guns are drawn,
Clips are fully loaded and then blood floods the lawn.
Disciplinary action was a fraction of strength,
That made me truncate the length one-tenth.
Woofers thump, tweeters hiss like air pumps,
RZA shaved the track, niggas caught razor bumps.
Scarred trying to figure who invented
This unprecedented, opium-scented, dark-tinted,
Now watch me blow him out his shoes without clues,
'Cause I won't hesitate to detonate, I'm short-fused.
