I Remember - 9th Prince

Aiyo, 9th Prince, let’s flash it back

Illest, this is how I see it

Let 'em know, ya’ll get ready

Yo, as my mind travel, my brain unravel

All my past life, rough like gravel

Reminisce on the first time I met Killa Sin

He came through to help me, with some beef I had in Port Richmond

And ever since then, we been the best of friends

As time pass, I asked him to join the Killarmy squadron

Yeah, we formed like Voltron, 9th Prince was the head

Around the time, Islord was on the run from the feds

At the same time, Raekwon and Ghostface was doing Cuban Linx

This is, before The RZA had them sharp ass rings

When hip hop was just starting to bling bling

I knew Dom Pachino, since we was kids

I told him, when shit blow up, I’m coming back to get the kid

And that’s what I did, I came through, Soldiers of Darkness was blowing up too

I told Beretta 9 and ShoGun, to meet me in New York

Because Wu-Tang is popping off like corks

And it’s almost our time to shine, that’s when we started

Recording, Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars

With the illest rhymes, we didn’t care about radio

Biggie or 2Pac, or west coast hip hop

This was the time, '96, before Makaveli got the crucifix

I was on some shit, a young Madman who spit with acid

On records that became classics

This is the illest shit I ever wrote (respect & loyalty)

Knowhatimean, let’s go

I remember, youknowhatimean, we used to be up all night

Me, Islord, RZA, you know, Rae, Ghost and Meth, Deck

Youknowhatimean, just snapping on each other all night

Shit, cracking jokes and shit, man, word, back in '93

To be continued, Dirty Weaponry performing at murder venues

Our lyrics was sharp like a gensu

I remember when I first met Killah Priest

I remember when I first learned about the mark of the beast

I remember cracking jokes on Rae, Deck and Meth

Up all night, to the break of light, we never slept

I remember when Nas did Verbal Intercourse

I remember when Rae and Ghost was mad

When Biggie was named King of New York on the cover of The Source

I remember when we used to call Meth, the Cookie Monster

But he was our brother, and we could play like that with one another

I remember, when Ghost wanted to buy the Killarmy name

But I didn’t sell it for money, cuz we was next in the game

Next in the Killa Bee Hall of Fame

I remember when Killa Sin bagged Alicia Keys in the hotel lobby

We was on tour with Bobby

I remember when Dom P and Beretta almost fucked Brandy and Tatyiana Ali

Cuz they was Killarmy in your galaxy

I remember, when me and Killah Priest battled Canibus in Atlanta after a party

Rae and RZA Was loving it, hardbody

I remember when I first met Shyheim

We was younger than our teens, and already starting to scheme and dream

On how to do things, and shine like kings

See alotta ya’ll dudes out there don’t know the history

Ya’ll don’t know the 9th Prince history

Ya’ll don’t know the Killarmy history

You know, ya’ll don’t know the muthafucking Wu-Tang history

I remember them days, when niggas was family for real

Youknow?

Killah Priest, what up, son

Killa Sin, what up, son

Killarmy, what up, niggas

This is the illest shit I ever wrote

This is the illest shit I ever wrote

And the realest, the realest shit I ever wrote

Pay attention, verbal henchmen
