lyrics

(Corduroy Phoenix)
If the RZA was President, I wouldn't be hesitant
To hear what he said or meant, to a certain extent
A Kung Fu Constitution could keep 'em content
Confucian ideals and restitution.
The GZA would say "Obama your days are through"
The Pledge of Allegiance would be 7th Chamber Part Two.
Ghostface Killah on Homeland Security,
Handling that shit you know he wouldn't worry me.
Sec. of Defense Raekwon the Chef
Legalizing weed but there'd be none left.
Declaration, Amendment to the Fifth
Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin' To Fuck Wit!

(Chorus)
If the Wu Tang took the presidency,
There'd be more shaolin monks and forties for free
If you Wu The People there would be no sequel,
With the Clan In Da Front we could make it equal.

(Turbo)
If the Wu ran the world everything would be allowed,
Except for eating cow. I can see now.
The elite sees that I can
beat these treatise with my chess strate-gies.
That's why they can eat these nuts!
Pay for health care by taxing my blunts!
There's no one stopping me,
You can get a lot for free.
John Locke better keep his glock cocked to protect his private property.
That's how they got to me-
telling me how I ought to be right
got to live my life.
Give me liberty!
Until my liver bleeds
Or give me death
Til my last breath.

(Chorus)
If the Wu Tang took the presidency,
There'd be more shaolin monks and forties for free
If you Wu The People there would be no sequel,
With the Clan In Da Front we could make it equal.

(FDR)
"I dedicate this monument in the name of brotherhood and peace!"

(ODB)
"Nominate me for presidential emcee!"

(BRA the Goat Carcass)
It's the art of the Wu Tang
Perfect the craft, perfect the slang.
Ladeeda BANG!

A new course will initiate,
The hip hop gods now hold the fate.
Slaying emcees swift using Tai Chi blades.
These shaolin monks these shaolin ways.

RZA the scientist and GZA the Genius
RIP ODB even if he ain't the cleanest.

RZA the scientist and GZA the Genius
RIP ODB even if he ain't the cleanest.

The Staten Island intellect ignited the WU-S-A project.
The Staten Island intellect ignited the WU-S-A project.
The Staten Island intellect ignited the WU-S-A project.
