Snakes

Ol' Dirty Bastard Featuring Killah Priest, RZ

Now number two, practiced the snake style

He was known as the snake spirit

He had the speed of a snake



Intro/Verse One: Killah Priest



Niggaz is like serpents out there

[snake style, no one could compete]

Serpents will bite

Lay outside, and then they roll back into they holes

They slither, in the streets of Brooklyn, New York

Slither in the streets, of Manhattan

In the streets of Queens, streets of the Bronx

Streets of Staten Island

Wherever you see em they slither

Whoever... yo

Fearsome shit... check it out

Yo, yo



It broke me up when they pat me on my shoulder

Said stay strong cuz his life is now over

I flash back to the heathens that he roll with

They shot him up and down nobody knows shit

My peers, little ears

Came up to me with a eye full of tears

Last night we was shootin dice and gettin nice

Kid rolled us, played us for our merchandise

We were in the hallway all day

Me, Steve, and Little Ray

Probably at first they tried to rob me

Back me in the lobby, pull out the shotty

Then came Scotty, fragile body

My first impression, he returned from a party

He was just stagger, smellin like Bacardi

The Dragon, braggin, how he was fuckin mad hotties

Pressed on the elevator button, then all of a sudden

He licked off, about a dozen

Slugs from the cannon, that ripped through my cousin

Nobody was standin when the nigga started bustin

Blood started to flood the floors, by the elevator doors

That's the last thing that I saw

Damn, we plan to make grands of our home

[Number two]



Verse Two: The RZA



Jagged edge, rockin God, hard as Stonehenge

Pledged whoever crossed his path get scrapped with a sledge..

..hammer, he didn't give a damn about the manor

And on the block he was called by the momma's and the grandma's

Indecent, heathen, juvenile delinquent

His weekends was frequently, locked i
