[Intro: RZA]
Round up, round up, round up, round up
Round up, round up, round up, round up...

 [bad word]  The Whatnauts "Message from a Black Man" sample w/ ODB sample]
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now

[RZA]
The greatest B-Boy of all time, started from small crimes
While others had big tops I was slingin' small dimes
Tryin' to make [bad word] up, the blow used to numb up
few G's a week, my clique used to sum up
Till my brother got locked up, my girl got knocked up
My closest homies each, got popped up and shot up
And cops flood the block, no way to eat
So I dropped a half a on a rented SP
1200 Sampler, and a Yamaha Four-Track
The bass from the lab used to blow the [bad word] #39; door back
While Ghost was doin' stick-ups, tryin' to make a vic' up
Waitin' outside for the Brinks [bad word] to pick up
Nothing would work, so we're back to choppin' nicks up
Givin' grown [bad word] women two vials for a [bad word] suck
When I was stressed I would head to the rest
Then the pads on the SP-12 got pressed
Makin' beats for the streets, so the family could eat
In '93, Wu-Tang Clan dropped their first LP
We went platinum, *whoo-peesh*, yeah we flatten 'em
Pockets got fat and um, went and got Cap and 'em
Staten's on the map and um, Brooklyn Zu is bombin' 'em
All around the world, Killa Beez start swarmin' 'em
You can't stop us, you can't block us
Rock us or mock us, knock us or top us
Better sit back and watch us...

 [bad word] 
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now

[Inspectah Deck]
Can't stop me man...
No matter how hard, you better go hard
So hard, if you gonna try and stop me now
I [bad word] to rhythm like the blocks be wild
Bad enough I got the cops tryin' to lock me down
Can't nobody break my stride or shake my pride
Without a homicide, case and trial
It's a long [bad word] #39;, long nines bustin'
Cradle to the grave I be on my grind hustlin'
Sometimes when I think about it, have my mind buggin'
The [bad word] that I been through, things that I've seen
The chicks that I ran through, places I've been
I'm a victim of the very song I sing
That's how it is in the heart of it, most want no part of it
Some will soothe the pain through booze and narcotics
I'mma hold my head, stay [bad word] to where my heart is
Either you pay with your life, or you pay dues and homage

 [bad word] 2X]
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop me now
