[Intro]
DiY Gang. Ladies and gentlemen, Shinobi and Kunoichi
We about to get into this, welcome to the Way Of Shao, AKA Shao Dow
Now I want you to throw your hands up in the air like you’re trying to make a Spirit Bomb
Let’s, let’s let’s, let’s go
[Verse 1]
Whoever told em they could stop him was trolling you bredder feeble
If you're plotting then I'm plotting your coffin you're not an equal
Above the steeples
God won't let me free fall
I guess I'm just a bird of prey, call me an Eagle
Lethal with the hustle my muscles are so prepared
To struggle till I've won but these others are running scared
My music is a drug and there's some that's already shared
That's why I call it E cos it equals an MC squared
Who wanna dare step into the lair of the brother Bear
Cos I swear I will rip and tear leaving nothing spare, yeah
Uh ... I'm feeling in control like a battery
Original you'll never find my soul in a factory
Actually, naturally, you can't match me
Athlete 'pon the track
If you're fly I'm becoming Anansi
I open locked doors I'm a boss not a lack key
I'm seeing what I saw and I did it exactly
As envisioned
By mixing rhythm and lyricism with ambition
I keeps it different
That's why they listen now I'm living
Full time musician
But still I'm digging for additions cos winning ain't given it’s hidden from vision
And still I've never phoned it in for the credit
I'm onomata-peeing on these baaa's do you get it
But first hey I had to teach you bout wordplay
A dictionary up on broadway that's a word play
[Chorus]
Now this a brand new page of my story
I'm showing you the path I take to find glory
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The pleasure, the pain, the pressure, the gains
The treasure, the strains, yeah I'm back again
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
[Verse 2]
When I was young I tried to run before I knew how to stand up
Learnt to walk before I crawled, understand I'm not standard
Forward not backward
Ifs and may be's don't cut
And a Honey is the only time I'll think about a butt
I'm legendary and that's me being modest
If I tell you I'm the truth then I'm just being honest
I'm a guy following the vibe trying to find freedom
Labels can't bread
Because I don't knead em
Meaning, I'm competing behind your scene
So a deal ain't me bro gimme your casino
Success in my glass and that thirst can't quench
I wanna to make Monet so I taught myself French
Maintenant, je peut parler le français
Toutes les femmes me aiment et veulent danser
Je ne peut pas cesser, tu ne peux pas m'arrêter
Now bow to the Shao and then call me Sensei
[Chorus]
Now this a brand new page of my story
I'm showing you the path I take to find glory
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The pleasure, the pain, the pressure, the gains
The treasure, the strains, yeah I'm back again
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
[Verse 3]
A life without risk ain't a life worth living
Throw me in the sea and we'll see who's swimming
Ambitious but I'm patient
I've been poor and I've been caking
I know the secret of happiness despite the situation
Loving life, but still I'm ducking Cupid like a Bee
I'm on an adventure while bredders taking arrows to the knee
I make music, make money and I make girls scream
Travel the world, do Kung Fu and eat chicken and ice cream
[Chorus]
Now this a brand new page of my story
I'm showing you the path I take to find glory
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The pleasure, the pain, the pressure, the gains
The treasure, the strains, yeah I'm back again
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
The Way of Shao, The Way of Shao
