[Verse 1: GZA] Who won the covenant role, based on a nationwide poll? For the grip tells told and rap scrolls Perfect pitch for language that's built within Where half the rap ink couldn't hold my pen Meanin' When Emcees Came, To Live Out The Name They signed the documents with the, blood of the slain Far removed from this hip hop life off course But the confidence and resilience was never lost In the think tank and research labs I laid tracks Seen work rule my life but it never broke my back Destiny forever shake from the events to come From the (?) and the chemical contents of the sun A solid gold figure with a verse that glitters Until the platinum beat comes increasingly bitter They joined in a likely alliance with the rest Schemin' with unsuccessful in a zealous Quest We all see, with a degree of certainty Who the fake, cowardly cats behind the curtains be, (Yeah, yeah...)
