Cuttin’ Headz Lyrics
[Intro]
Isn't that powerful?
Isn't that powerful?
Isn't that power—
[Verse 1: Ol' Dirty Bastard, RZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard & RZA]
Here it is, where's it at? In the back, got a stack
The Dirty Bastard, yo, you bastard, flip the fat track
Here I go, here I go, whether friend, whether foe
Let them know that I flow over the rainbow
Hit the deck, aw, yep, "Ch-ch-plow," from the TEC
Takin' heads, takin' necks, what the fuck they expect?
I don't know, I don't care
I won't fall, I won't stare
At a ho less I know that I'm goin' to the mo-
T-t-tel 'cause I'm lousy, my technique is drowsy
Stop tryin' to foul me by sayin' that we're lousy
But I'm a tyrant, defiant, walkin' New York giant
President of the Wu, but I'm also a client
It's the Wu, what? You knew what? You do what? What?
Who? What? What?
I don't give a flyin' fuck about a chump 'cause his heart only pumps Kool-Aid
Snatch a kid by the braids and cut his head off
[Interlude]
Of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house—
Isn't that powerful?
Isn't that powerful?
Isn't that power—
[Verse 1: Ol' Dirty Bastard, RZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard & RZA]
Here it is, where's it at? In the back, got a stack
The Dirty Bastard, yo, you bastard, flip the fat track
Here I go, here I go, whether friend, whether foe
Let them know that I flow over the rainbow
Hit the deck, aw, yep, "Ch-ch-plow," from the TEC
Takin' heads, takin' necks, what the fuck they expect?
I don't know, I don't care
I won't fall, I won't stare
At a ho less I know that I'm goin' to the mo-
T-t-tel 'cause I'm lousy, my technique is drowsy
Stop tryin' to foul me by sayin' that we're lousy
But I'm a tyrant, defiant, walkin' New York giant
President of the Wu, but I'm also a client
It's the Wu, what? You knew what? You do what? What?
Who? What? What?
I don't give a flyin' fuck about a chump 'cause his heart only pumps Kool-Aid
Snatch a kid by the braids and cut his head off
[Interlude]
Of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house—
[Verse 2: Ol' Dirty Bastard, RZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard & RZA]
Rhymes is rugged like burnt buildings in Harlem
The Ol' Dirty Bastard from the Temple of Shaolin
Dirty to the brain like drops of acid rain
Clang, clang, clang with rhymes pluckin' at your brain
So take a sip from the cup of death
And when you're shakin' my right hand, I'll stab you with the left
Woo, woo, woo, red alert, red alert
Ason comin' straight from the dirt
Once I go berserk, mad brothers got hurt
Nothin' new in '92, it's time to go to work
Trills, watch 'em scream once I hop on the scene
They fear the return of the fatal flying guillotine
Mr. Milli, that means I'm also militant
Don't wear no suit and tie, I'm no gentleman
Gettin' laid, takin' heads, that's my hobby
Punchin' brother Phills in the face who call me Robbie
I be the RZA, call me that 'cause I
Never liked the name I received from my papa
Dirty deluxe, yo, I'm huntin' for ducks
Snatchin' devils up by the hair, then cut his head off
[Interlude]
Of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
The house of God
Isn't that powerful?
Isn't that powerful?
Isn't that powerful?
Isn't that power—
Isn't that power—
[Outro: Ol' Dirty Bastard & RZA]
Here it is, where's it at?
In the back, got a st— (Isn't that power—)
Here it is, where's it at?
In the back, got a st— (Isn't that power—)
Here it is, where's it at?
In the back, got a st— (Isn't that power—)
Here it is, where's it at?
In the back, got a st— (Isn't that power—)
Here it is, where's it at?
In the back, got a st— (Isn't that power—)
