When I was hearin' about Wu-Tang, I kept hearin' about these dudes
They was comin' to places, tearin' shit up, everywhere they went
And it was like, they was, they was makin' a mark
And I kept hearin' the, the name and I knew
I knew somethin' was comin' with it, you could just tell, you could just feel it
I remember bein' around Wu and I'm like, um, "Damn, they just like us."
You know what I'm sayin', the, the Raekwon remind me of this guy
Ghost remind me of this guy around my way
It was like cousins almost, it was like, you know, project kids
That's what it, that was the language, project kids
We felt it, we smelt it off each other
And it just shows you, out of those housing projects come some brilliant people
The special thing about Wu-Tang bein' eight or nine guys was
Each one was a rapper who could represent his own individual self within that crew
They were the example for all of us, 'cause we haven't, we didn't really see that before
Like more power to them, and show love to them, respect them, you know
They're honorable. They gave us incredible skill
They gave us incredible poetry. And they gave us music that no one's touchin' to this day
It's timeless
