Numeric Songtext
von Strick

They thought we was masons, we was brick layers
Whoa, thought we was masons, we was brick layers
Yeah that′s a big statement
Boy I oughta run over pavement
Pay the whole statement

Been dropping hooks like I'm going fishing
I′m in an old school Fisher, the windshield digital
I'm on the phone with Bobby Digital talking scores with RZA
I'm finna make a motion picture but y′all don′t get the vision

High ceilings in Calabasas, poolside with Tris
It's YSL I got the Viper slithering through the city
I came a long way from dirt roads
Hustling in them bad halls, still gon′ bring the title home

Olympian, I'm a champion
Four rings on the Audi, why try to race me man
A hero in my city, to them a villain yeah
Get rich or die trying, probably hated by many men
The Damier is Kevlar


The pots came in from H-Town worth a whole bar
Twinkle diamonds, the wrist and neck like a big star
Big spending, just doubled up off a whole loss
Do numbers, remain humble

Can′t trust 'em just cause they tell you they love you
If they ain′t loyal then they'll never be royal

If they don't go to war for you they ain′t for you

Been dropping hooks like I′m going fishing
I'm in an old school Fisher, the windshield digital
I′m on the phone with Bobby Digital talking scores with RZA
I'm finna make a motion picture but y′all don't get the vision

High ceilings in Calabasas, poolside with Tris
It′s YSL I got the Viper slithering through the city
I came a long way from dirt roads
Hustling in them bad halls, still gon' bring the title home

Ayo check this out, my name is the RZA from the almighty Wu-Tang

I wanna just say something to all y'all young brothers out there
Who′s out there in the struggle trying
To get what you gotta get in this world
Sometimes to get what you want you gotta take a risk


I don′t mean no foolish risk
A fool jumps off a building into a cup of water
There's no reward in that, there′s no surviving that
But the risk of doing the right thing
The risk of pursuing your dreams and your passion
The risk of making the proper sacrifice for the long term gain

The risk of commitment, the risk of taking dedication
The risk of taking the long long narrow road
Instead of the wide, instead of the wide short road to destruction
This risk yields a reward, and the reward can be immeasurable
