Best GZA Line---

[17th chamber born]

PROTECT YA NECK (THE JUMPOFF)


Run on the track like Jesse Owens
Broke the record flowin, without any knowin
That my wordplay run the 400 meter relay
It's on once I grab the baton from the DJ
A athlete wit his iron cleat in the ground
Wireless nigga who sprint off the gun sound
The best time yet still 7.0
Swift flow made the cameramen clothes blow

STILL TILL THIS DAY MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE GZA VERSE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEN.....

CLAN IN DA FRONT

[Verse Two:]

Slow response while I bomb that ass,
"You ain't shit!", Your wack ass town had you gassed
Egos is somethin the Wu-Tang crush
Souped up niggaz on a stage get rushed
I don't give a god damn, on the shows you did
How many rhymes you got, or who knows you kid?
Cuz I don't know ya therefore show me what you know
I come sharp as a blade and I cut you slow
You become so frail as my style increases
What's that in your pants ahhh human feces!
Throw your shitty drawers in the hamper
Next time come strapped with a fuckin Pamper
How ya sound B? You're better off a quitter
I'm on the mound G, and it's a no-hitter
And my DJ the catcher, he's my man
Anyway he's the one who devised the plan
He throws the signs I hook up the beats with clout
I throw the rhymes to the mic and I strike em out
So it really doesn't matter on how you intrigue
You can't FUCK with those in the major leagues

[Jones3d]

There are obviously so many its hard to land on just one. I agree that there were more off the first couple of albums than recently that are just incredible, but I like his lines in Silverbacks off the Masta Killa album:

I went from the slums of Hell to paradise in Heaven
From a sling-shot to a wall of mac 11's
I drank with the Devil and ate with the Reverend
We talked numbers and I told 'em, that mine was 7
The total amount of hits, behind a collapsed building
That had exploded in a frenzy of killings
Bodies lay near tons of twisted metal
Of a structure an atomic force, could level.
From the tale of the tape, the product failed in comparison
The weight, the height, the reach, was not a year within
Sight, the significant difference was the ammo
Wrecking y'all individuals in a Nano
Second by second, heat blazed through the night
Leaving a dazzling array of neon lights
The primary reason of mission for them spitting
The firing kept hitting, them ducks, they kept sittin
But the informants x-rays gave off electrons
Within the few next days, entire sects gone
Clinical precisions used to remove the eyelids
Those responsible for my brothers with high bids
Life in the hood is an award winning film
Lived out by savages who can't escape the realm
A place where the young meet and greet with guns
In the park they interrupt the pure innocent fun.

[Emperor Les]

Jesus, when did this thread become "Best GZA Verse?"

[Emperor Les]

On a man made lake
thin sheeter then ice with unskilled skaters couldnt figure eight twice
thats 16

"On a man-made lake there's a sheet of thin ice
Where unskilled skaters cut figure eights twice."

[Guarded By Martyrs]

"Like A Child I Have Infinite Patience When I Write
The Victims Dental Records Showed They Love To Bite"

[J-ezzy]

Silverbacks is one of my favorite songs of all time. They just KILL it! This isn't GZA, but Deck rips an opening verse that matches anything the Genius has done...


I'm just lookin' out of the window
Watchin' the gunshots blow-ow
Thinkin' how we all was turnin' out
Keepin' my head above water
Got to make a weight when I can (cuz I can)
Temporary lay off, cop pay offs, daily rip offs
Informer tip off, clips lick off
The judge got hit off, boss got knocked off
Worker made a come off, cash got dropped off
Buildings got burnt out, sisters got turned out
Work out in the yard up North, tryin' to burst out
Pissy elevators, dirty cop favors
Tongues hiding razors, minors turn majors
Wave the bigger tools, shoot out inside the school yard
The game aint' changed, niggaz done made their own rules
They buildin' plans, they pull a million dollar scam
Watch for taped conversations, Jakes and dollar bands
The black market, labelled the movin' target
Dwellin' in the heartless projects
Evil eyes walkin', the BBS rims flossin'
The beat walk in, harassin' the street walkin'
They keep talkin', like the Rebel might slow up
They set me up to go up, the witness didn't show up

[food for thought]

style jumped off in killa-hilla
i was the thrilla in the ali frazier manilla.

illest LINE

[Drunken Monk]

Cold World No Doubt

[D.G. The Eye Opener]

^ lol first song that came to mind

theres no escapin once my blade start scrapin/
niggas flakin/
wannabe MC's is shaking,
my sword indeed make more niggas bleed, so swift , naked eye couldnt record the speed

That's one the lines I was thinking of. This is at top 5 of Gza's lines.

[D.G. The Eye Opener]

From darkness to DNA, I move with my brother
And we resonate, energy that shifts in colors
Bringing MC's punishment, then I'm done with it
The meter leave way on the fast break, I run with it
It was not a hobby, but a childhood passion
That had started in the lobby and was quicky fashioned
Every line to line, bar for bar is clockwork
Hazardous and powerful enough to have your block hurt
Check the total amount of MC's inflicted
With torture, from moving with work that's restricted
We criticize producers til they joints are right
Then acupuncture the track with pinpoints of light
Hitting them from well conceiled firing positions
With explosiveness that'll make the deaf listen
Drastic, pyroclastic, connected with the same old
Down the dangerous slopes of an active volcano


GZA's verse off Rushing Elephants from the 8 Diagrams albums

[CHI-KING]

"NAME A CREW,THAT COULD STOP THE FORCE THAT I STRIKE WITH,
LET ALONE TRY TO HOLD THE PEN THAT I WRITE WITH ,
U CUOLD EVEN CHOP OFF THE FINGERS I TYPE WITH, THOSE I HOLD A MIC WITH, THINKIN I MIGHT QUIT.."-GZA

cmon b thats like the train passin by and some one sticks they hand out the window ,and u standin on the station and they smack the shit out u ,
when the train is going like 100 miles an hour .. its like daaaaammm!!

[Wontonloogie]

Y'all niggas are sleepen on that 1112 verse.

[killabee313]

..........4th Chamber:''The banks of G, all CREAM downs a vet
Money feed good, opposites off the set
It ain't hard to see, my seeds need God-degree
I got mouths to feed, unnecessary beef is more cows to breed''

Liquid Swords:''I flow like the blood on a murder scene, like a syringe
on some loud howl shit, to insert a fiend
But it was yo ock, the shop stolen heart
Catch a swollen heart from not rollin smart''

Duel Of The Iron Mic:''Shit is outdated, just like neckloads of Sterlings
Suede-fronts, bell-bottoms, and tri-colored Shearlings
I ain't particular, I bang like vehicular homicides
on July 4th in Bed-Stuy''..............

It'z hard to chooze but between thoze 3.Thoze are my favz.
