The Purple Tape - Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Raekwon

Hey, lace your boots up, tracks get looped up

The chocolate deluxe gets scooped up

All my pigeons is cooped up, Wu’s up, Ws up

If you ain’t with us, chuck a duce up, and let us do us

Break a promise but not my group up

Veterans is dying and used up

Let’s see if they can hang, I’m already tying the noose up

I’m too hot, if you not, get you stuffed

Get you touched and get you shot or you cut

Young buck I’m just trying to toughen you up

Can’t let you hustle with us, ya ain’t struggled enough

Y’all been cuddled too much, maybe mothered too much

So the burner giving out loans here is a couple of bucks

Had a couple of scuffs, I ain’t saying I’m perfect

I ain’t cursing on the rhyme but I wrote it in cursive

Quote the verses, boy I flow with a purpose

Get that proMeth and a soda, come with the purchase

Who is that up in the building?

Hashtag we still win

Raekwon no relation to Chef tho, but still trend

My young’un tell em it’s them

Wu-Tang is for the children

They bugging, tell em' again

Wu-Tang is for the children

Lab with the pole, slide down, I’m in the basement counting faces

Drunk on the slouch, count the spaceships

Jewelry to my knee caps, breathe stacks whores & sleestaks

HSBC see me getting g-packs, herringbones mad stones in em'

The voice is olive green, three doors I’m on bring my goons home

Puma’s on, points like unicorns, fuming in uniforms

What you wanna do with me, just sue me homes

Yea Half Mike half Nike, handle got grip

Got monkey’s out here ready to flip

We pull a stunt, grab knots, push cops, just for vengeance

For killing that real shit independence

Far glowing like blonde hair, probably be the way we be rolling

Let’s cash a check y’all bring the broads here

Until the sun burns out, ain’t nobody eating

We on your block now, Glock up or call the precinct

(Chorus — Method Man & Raekwon)

Who is that up in the building?

Hashtag we still win

Raekwon no relation to chef tho, but still trend

My young’un tell em it’s them

Wu-Tang is for the children

They bugging, tell em' again

Wu-Tang is for the children

Deck performing on the track, call him Jeff Gordon

I’m still buzzing this is Hennessey the next morning

The upset talking, I’m yes y’allin for cheques

Bossin' the set, you acting like my ex calling

Ain’t that a bitch, not the 5 or the 6

I rock 7 on my back that’s Kaepernick

I dazzle like a magic trick, fabulous swordsmen

Sort of like abortion I ain’t having it

S I ready for action, heavily cashing

We set for whatever, what’s happening

Cold like the weather in Aspen, flow everlasting

4, 5, 6, your head is crackin', just a fifth of E&J and a eighth of green

No promethazine but I make them lean

I’m running with the real ya’ll chasing dreams

While the crowd go wild for their favorite team

(Chorus x 2 — Method Man & Raekwon)

Who is that up in the building?

Hashtag we still win

Raekwon no relation to chef tho, but still trend

My young’un tell em it’s them

Wu-Tang is for the children

They bugging, tell em' again

Wu-Tang is for the children
