Path of Destruction - GZA/Genius

He was raised in a house, where he got scared of attention

Twisted, yet methodical mind, not to mention

Circus like atmosphere, story book upbringing

Neighborhood full of married couple who love swinging

Creature lived the life, he spent it in the spotlight

A teacher was his wife who was stabbed and shot twice

They attended a church, where they both were active

And a little bit of rope, he gave others attracted

He rule with the iron hand, if the mural wasn’t hot enough

Then he’ll swing the frying pan

Heavy as the hammer of Thor, you know he suffer from the consequences

Of broken vowels and law

A convicted felon for armed robbery

At the time where he had sank into deep poverty

Forsaken by his mother and father, Christ achieving the talent

He attended the sheet on the path of destruction

On the path of destruction…

(GZA)

And these prisons held yesterdays juvenile delinquents

Convicts who entered crime, even before they entered puberty (on the path of destruction)

They remember how old I was when I first got in trouble

Me?

Around nine, nah, six, seven

He ended up on the block with kid scooters and ice cream

But ended out in foster home, unti lhe was 19

Stealing for food and didn’t do for enjoyment

At the time of lay off, shut down and unemployment

He move into a new world, and seek this fortune

And suited himself to the times with extortions

A hustle that was ruled by men and murder

He earned enough his daily bread and wanted to move further

He knew no good, come from such a sin

Had issues as a kid, so he held it all within

And he pursued the game so happy, on a path of destruction

Even though the road was rocky

Very caught up in his own drive for dominance

And to know that he would pay in the end was common sense

Some saw he had a long deserved death

And then he felt the lead when they were told he left

(GZA)

These young civilians move to an assault and battery

Plus, mortal techniques, breaking and entering, burglary

Purse snatching (on the path of destruction)

Shoplifting, hand graffiti, crash and stolen property

Possessing and distribution of narcotics

Illegal posession of weapon, assaulting a police officer

Larceny (on the path of destruction)
