[Intro: Holocaust]
Wu-Tang
Holocaust, Punishment
West Coast Killa Beez
Yo, yo, yo, yo
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
[Verse 1: Holocaust]
From the hells of the Pacific I bring fury and anger
Stabbing devils in the chest with a rusty pirate ship anchor
Blood & Sand we Command and Conquer wasted land
Then expand the regions undiscovered by modern man
Body counts increase by thousands by the hour
The sniper gone berserk, blasting shots from the water tower
Absorbing energy from the Sun, MCs run
My brain bursts light that blows chunks out of your lungs
Blood on the pavement, crews gaze in amazement
I was doing that to niggas who test me on the slave ship
We sell tapes and stage jail breaks with past cellmates
Murder you at Hell's Gate, daring bitches to yell, "Rape!"
And pale face gets hollow points, I swallow joints
With romantic charisma that'll make your momma moist
My voice, ensemble of bullets rip through your squadron
Circulate the planet, swoop back, you better dodge 'em
Or get opened up like a margin, brutal sergeant
Crisis should've warned you I've never missed a target
The living weapon, War Machine, barbarian king
Relentless, remorseless, guiltless and unclean
Also the sorcerer supreme of my team
Black Knight brigade peels caps like tangerines
Holocaust the hypnotic, psychotic, subatomic
Psychopathic, hyperactive, unattractive alcoholic
[Chorus: Crisis]
We bring nothing but Punishment, Black Knights we runnin' shit
Have 'em runnin' quick, uppercuts is what we coming with
Fuck the government, I grab the mic, that's when the thunder hits
Never love a bitch, rhymes echo throughout the dungeon pits
We bring nothing but Punishment, Black Knights we runnin' shit
Have 'em runnin' quick, uppercuts is what we coming with
Fuck the government, I grab the mic, that's when the thunder hits
Never love a bitch, rhymes echo throughout the dungeon pits
[Verse 2: Christbearer]
Something from my culture, a state of harmony
The way of life that best suits me
I sincerely love Allah's Mathematics
Freedom and raw, The Abbott
I rest within the square
Which is 4 times 90, why niggas choose dare?
The dominant intelligence
99 element with offspring celibate
Without knowledge life's irrelevant
I rode the benevolent Wu-Tang eminent
[Verse 3: Doc Doom]
I bring lyrics to existence when I speak these powerful words
Increase the pandemoni', the war god has emerged
Above sea-level that's when thunder roars and lightning strike down
Atrocity, let it poor acid rain upon your compound
Chaotically, the Black Knights, we move robotically
Lyrically perform lobotomy on your biology
A prodigy, a philosophy and theology
My ideologies will break MCs down microscopically
The ghetto tropically getting more hectic by the second
Ghetto warfare, stray bullets hurl through intersections
And hit kids 'cause niggas split wigs with no precaution
The war god raise the dead from their grave to haunt your conscious
With bloody scream, nightmares and bloody dreams
Of niggas haunting you through dark alleyways
The missing smokescreen have you tweaking like a crack fiend
On high beam like Christine, the lords reign supreme
[Chorus: Crisis]
We bring nothing but Punishment, Black Knights we runnin' shit
Have 'em runnin' quick, uppercuts is what we coming with
Fuck the government, I grab the mic, that's when the thunder hits
Never love a bitch, rhymes echo throughout the dungeon pits
We bring nothing but Punishment, Black Knights we runnin' shit
Have 'em runnin' quick, uppercuts is what we coming with
Fuck the government, I grab the mic, that's when the thunder hits
Never love a bitch, rhymes echo throughout the dungeon pits
[Verse 4: Meko the Pharaoh]
I'm original melanin
With metaphoric communique intelligence
I give a nigga a hardcore detention
With this Northstar invention I must mention
I be creeping with the intention to break free
From this evil mad society, don't lie to me, I'm dope
I scope stuff I like a telescope to provoke from being choked
'Cause my ability is so live
It lets me open up your insides and men hide
Not from confusion with this high energy I'm using
Steady calculating and moving
Through the abyss where snakes hiss
And many men get pissed for following false elements
For following false elements
[Chorus: Crisis]
We bring nothing but Punishment, Black Knights we runnin' shit
Have 'em runnin' quick, uppercuts is what we coming with
Fuck the government, I grab the mic, that's when the thunder hits
Never love a bitch, rhymes echo throughout the dungeon pits
We bring nothing but Punishment, Black Knights we runnin' shit
Have 'em runnin' quick, uppercuts is what we coming with
Fuck the government, I grab the mic, that's when the thunder hits
Never love a bitch, rhymes echo throughout the dungeon pits
