Lol Rae shit is crazy
Only a few years ago Hip Hop purists may have felt superior listening to hard core while their less enlightened companions snacked on commercial rap. As Shaolin research began to point out the overwhelming benefits of raw production, true hip hop enthusiasts started turning back to traditional styles. Wu-Tang in particular, has been shown to myriad beneficial effects, from warding off ignorance and poverty to reducing the risk of incarceration and death.
The last two lines Ghostface says:
Gettin caught up in my world, Haagen-Dazs world
Backflip and then twirl, cave your whole world in
He's referring to the celebrity lifestyle as being like Haagen-Dagz ice cream. It is flavorful (the best ice cream ever!), but it is also cold. It can make your life chaotic.
BTW, cherry fudge truffle is my favorite HD. Check it out.
edit - I just noticed you said last two verses, not lines. Oh well, time for me to go to work. Marinate on what I wrote. Hopefully you will learn to understand Wu more.

His world (as a celebrity) can make you back flip, twirl, cave your world in. Ice cream was the analogy.
Couldn't tell if you were being funny, or if you really didn't understand.

It's Häagen-Dazs swirl
the verses themselves are not something you have to "get", it's just rap shit. But if there are specific things then ask.
As for myself: I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing sacred about myself or any human being, that we were all machines, doomed to collide and collide and collide.

[Inspectah Deck]
Yo, mind arson, my squadren, surround the Sound-Garden
Guns for hire plus you under fire and a target
Sniper in the cypher, I, Pied Piper
Move the housing by the thousand, I watched out the Chrysler
Bombs strike ya like the mighty Thor, blast the door
Recite a page like a tidal wave, past the shore
Two pulls, I'm wild like mechanical bulls
Pack a full house, it's girls night out, pull a hairful
Heavenly laced, stimulation make you feel slow paced
I motivate and await my sober state
[Ghostface Killah]
Magnificent, heavenly the God stay bent
Five Percent Range whippin soul controller of the lynch
Mackin phone rings, Stephen King trauma down at Danzine
My mood swings, suplexed off the rope, magazine
Coconut jewels, wore no color shoe, knife annual
Moses lost his sandal, hidin the manual
Blow the vandal buggin off of Bon Jovi hits
Grammer lo-ve, famous murder weapon was a trophy
Seize posin in Oshkosh, guzzle cries
Sabotage massage rap bandit at large
Wolverine Carnation Milk, Wu denim jeans
Thurston Howell the Third kid's back on the scene
Call it chopped meat, cause every word is choppy
My logic crunch all crows to death, Kobiyashi couldn't stop me
Gettin caught up in my world, Haagen-Daaz world
Backflip and then twirl, cave your whole world in
*gun blast*
Ruby is on point!
No, the gunshot is on the start of "As High as Wu-Tang get"
Ghos siad in an interview one time, when he rights it's means something at the time, but even he'll forget what the hell he's talking about.
Trying to decipher this shit is just ridiculous. Sometimes when people write they'll put down things only their family, crew, or cetain people they know will get.
That Deck verse seemed....different. Usually, his verses are more clear. It was still dope though.
Magnificent, heavenly. The God stay bent
Five Percent. Range whippin. Soul controller of the lynch
Ghost is magnificent and heavenly. He stays fucked up. He is a Five Percenter. I think Range whippin' is a reference to a Range rover (whip = vehicle) because you always hear Ghost and Rae talk about Jeeps, Landcrusiers, MPVs and the like. Soul controller of the lynch means he is the one responsible for 'murderin' the rhythm'.
For some reason, when I look at Coconut Jewels, I think of Donkey Kong. Remember that show? Where DK would always get the Crystal Coconut from K. Rool? .....no? Well, I doubt that's what he means, but it's what I think of.
Maybe he just means jewels the size of coconuts....thats seems a lot more likely.
^ i love that line 'soul controller of the lynch'
it's one of those lines that just pops out the first time you hear it and sticks with you.
in my opinion, this is one of ghost's best verses because it's a perfect example of his unique lyrical style.
WU TANG RULES AGAIN
