ROYAL FAM IAM SUNZ OF MAN WU TANG CLAN
'bout to take it to another chamber
From Medina to Marseille...Marseille Marseille ...
PRODIGAL SUN
Yo IAM SUNZ OF MAN from the ROYAL FAM
Never ate ham never gave a damn
TIMBO KING
In the begining there was darkness then came light
I grab the mic to dis' your ass just for spite
What ? You can't fuck with the flows I bring
Watch the staff I swing [taaaaaaabbbaaaaaaa]
It's Timbo King, astonishing, I'm dramatic to the ear
Television tells lies to your vision
So, beware of the trick-nology set off to fool the mind
If you're dumb you're lost, if you're wise you will find that
Poison is a devil substance made for scratch'
Cause one rotten apple destroys the whole batch
You scratch, I throw jabs to your jaws so quick
You get bashed in the head with a stone face brick
We're thick like molasses, deeper than the earth's mantle
Royal take over, stampede, trample
Those who force kids tell lies to the youth
My grandchild, my roots run deep is proof what ?

A dix-sept ans, je me suis fait une raison
J'etais un petit con, un nerveux, spasmophile
Baston et je frappais un coup de pied dans la table
Tout volait, envenime par la negativite
Tant d'echecs, tant de defaites
Ont forges le mordant, pour encaisser les coups dans ma mentalite
Fauche, sans occupation, il n'y a pas pire
Je ne possedais rien et je voulais fonder un empire
J'ai persiste, dit des trucs vrais ai ete piste
J'ai insiste et le groupe IAM a existe
Pour de bon, j'etais sincere
J'ecris des vers pour mes pairs
Et il n'y a qu'eux qui flippent derriere
De l'attention, ils se foutaient donc j'ai roule pour ma poire
Comme le gaz, les intouchables phases de mes phrases
J'ai meme change d'avis pour la Saga
C'est plus je revenais quand tu allais, j'y retournais

I'm blowing niggaz out the frame
Now what's my motherfuking name [Dreddy Krueger]
I'm playing niggaz like a boy game
You can't fuck with the drunk Dreddy Krueger
Blaow! Blaow! Two slugs from my ruger and I move ya [move ya]
I write rhyme when I'm sober
Singing when I'm drunk
The Buddah Monk got the skunk
Yo, I smoke niggaz like kryptonite blunts
Dog bitches like soup, fucking up my stew, then yo
I step the gates and troop to see my nigga
The GZA, who had my bulletproof [my bulletproof]
Vest for my chest to relieve some of my stress [stress]
And I'm safe from my neck to my waist
But still I got to worry about a nigga catching me in the face
And beat the case, just 'cause he had papes [papes]
[get it straight]

La route vers le but fixe est longue et perilleuse
Souvent bordee de tavernes aux enseignes lumineuses
C'est dur de resister a l'invitation
De rester pose sur les rails comme un wagon
Telle une fleche filer droit sur sa cible
Ignorer les ragots est la seule solution possible
Le temps passe trop vite pour que j'y prete
Une attention quelconque
Je sais qu'en faittout le monde veut la meme chose
Mais personne ne veut que tu l'obtiennes avant les autres
Partant, je roule pour moi, fils
Tant pis pour les autres si la medisance est leur hobby favori
Je suis sorti de cette periode nefaste ou
Tu te prelasses en attendant que tout se fasse
J'avance fort de mes experiences passees et je souris
En voyant ceux qui s'y empressent d'y aller
