Mantis

RZA

featuring Masta Killa Tekitha




[martial arts movie sample]



The technique depends mainly



on arm and finger strength



Once you've that then the next step



is to learn how to pierce stone



Well you might as well start practicing now



Do you Do you Do you Do you



Do you know mantis legends?



How it was it all started?



It was fighting off this blackbird



Although it was only a tenth of the bird's size



it was a very valiant insect



And that's why the technique, needs a brave man



And a strong one, who isn't afraid of birds




[Bobby Digital]



Welcome back to the temple of hip-hop and Sword Kem'po



Lyrical rhyme nympho, b-boy Bob Digital



Diamond crystal ring solid gold bone rituals



We be the humble most calmest individuals



Hard to spot microdots, we Sasquatch



Stomp MC's, third eye Cyclops lazer beam shots



being fired once the father get raised up



We John Blaze up, abrasive heat, from the phaser gun



Never left for a stun Dunn, Atilla the Hun



type Killa Park Hilla, eighteen wheeler Mack's



in the truck lanes, from the rugged grains



of Shaolin soil, the red wolves be prowlin



Howlin over the shit that got the whole world bowin



We spoiled, one thousand swordsmen



One thousand recordings, one thousand Wu stores and



One thousand rap tours and global insurance



Not your everyday occurance



My rhyme torments MC's with the fear of God



You'll be cursed like Farad, and struck by the iron rod



Tchka-tchka-tchka-tchka-tchka-tchka-POW




Chorus: Tekitha




Hell's Wind Staff, the wrath of Black Titans



Niggaz battlin, sword swingin



Cutthroat women, whirlwind given save the children



Escape the poverty for li
