Can someone "translate" Rae's verse on The Faster Blade?
Can someone "translate" Rae's verse on The Faster Blade?
This is my take on it, but wit a lot of Wu lyrics, you can make your own
conclusion. Hope this helps.
Ay yo, movin' on these niggas like they owe, so yo
You know how we go, we go shift 'em out like padico(COCAINE)
Fine, proteges off top connectin' like a buildin'(THE DUDES HE MENTORS TO HAVE A LOT IN COMMON)
Four dollar whylin' niggas buildin', savin' the children(THEY USED TO BE GRIMY, NOW THEY DO MORE POSITIVE STUFF)
Come on now, check out the view like a oceanfront(HE WANTS THEM TO SEE HIS VISION)
Slow motion in cunt, takin' what we want
You know the kid asiatic, holdin' power like a Craftmatic(KITCHEN APPLIANCE)
You like your fish fried or battered that day, he ratted
Check out the rubies from Guyana, Jesse in Atlanta
Makin' some power moves outta Savannah
Yeah, rock them niggas like jewelry(TALKIN ABOUT HIS MAN SELLING COKE IN GEORGIA)
Arabics movin' blow like aerobics(FOREIGNERS ARE SELLING TOO)
That's when his nose itch, yeah(HE IS GETTING THIS FEELING)
That means it's O(OUNCE OF COCAINE) in effect
I'm hittin' you, I'm hittin' Buddha(HE LETTING ALL HIS BOYS KNOW WHATS UP)
Out in Bermuda, send that twenty-shot Ruger(GUN)
Continue to slam a menu like a venue(HE GETS DOWN WHEN HE EATS LIKE HIS PERFORMANCES)
Get all up in you, oh yeah your friend too, respect Wu
Yeah, keep the faggot niggas watery(KEEP THEM BITCH NIGGAS CRYING)
Rhyme for rich niggas who supported me, shorty pussy extorted me
So it's a science now, RZA, cuttin' they pockets like scissors(IF YOU CUT SOMEONES POCKETS, YOU TAKING THEIR MONEY)
Cindafella found him a Wally slipper(HE IS FORTUNATE)
Splashin' ends in the glass Benz in Nevada(SPENDIN MONEY IN VEGAS)
Flashin' gems(PULLIN OUT KNIVES), eight-and-a-half Timbs(WHAT SIZE BOOTS HE WEARS) stake robber(STEALIN THEY MONEY AGAIN)
All my life been on some foul shit besides kidnap a child shit
Get on some foul and proud shit(HE DID EVERYTHING EXCEPT KIDNAPPING)
G'in(RUNNIN GAME ON) many Koreans bein' all that I can be an'
Put down on thirty keys(ANOTHER COCAINE REFERENCE) an' get to fleein'(GETTIN DRUGS ON COSIGNMENT AND NOT PAYIN THE BALANCE)
Light up a tree an'(HE'S ABOUT TO SMOKE)
Dough be breezin' like a blowdryer(HIS MONEY FLOWS LIKE AIR FROM A DRYER)
Yo, you's a liar like Jeremiah gamin' on the flyer
Yo, barbarian niggas is carryin'(THEY GOT GUNS)
Thug drug marryin', hittin' Marion off at the Clarion(HOTEL)
All my Spanish niggas love her.
We move in like rush ya(or Russia), bone crush ya
At the flick, stick to usher(AT THE MOVIES ROB THE USHER)
Broke niggas, spot 'em like Cascade(DISHWASH LIQUID THAT LEAVES NO SPOTS)
in the street Masquerade
Faster Blade
dope verse, why can't rae spit like that anymore?
thats one of my fav Rae songs....he came hard on that.....mad underrated track cuz some ppl forget thats a Rae solo on the Ghost album...
"Thug drug marryin', hittin' Marion off at the Clarion"
Marion he is referring to might be the ex DC mayor, Marion Barry (sp?). the dude had a coke problem
so perhaps he is married to the drug game, even snortin the shit in the Clarion Hotel.
yo, thanks for all that stashlova.
one thing though - are you sure he means pullin' out knives as flashin' gems? maybe it's that even a stake robber's got flashin' gems (jewelry) and Timbs? not sure, just my guess though.Originally Posted by stashlova
yeah i think he means it like his gems are flashin
1st king
Dope track, one of the most underrated as THE SILENCER said
Definately one of Rae's dopest verses. I love that track to death. I wish Ghost would have spit on that song just to make it longer.
"One arm bandit..stab companions with intricate sentences...battle crews single- handed..with cannons that blow you from here to other planets."
nahh the craftmatics were thos epower adjustable beds that were popular in the 80's and 90's..You know the kid asiatic, holdin' power like a Craftmatic(KITCHEN APPLIANCE)
so holdin power like a craftmatic .
nahh.. he is sayin.. "u like ur fish fried or battered,,, that day Erratic !"You like your fish fried or battered that day, he ratted
a slick little line by rae saying how the guy couldnt make his mind up between fried or battered... "erratic"
jeremiah was a bullfrog !.. bullfrogs eat flies.. lik jeremiah gamin on a fly-aYo, you's a liar like Jeremiah gamin' on the flyer

good summary
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.
Yeah, rock them niggas like jewlry(TALKIN ABOUT HIS MAN SELLING COKE IN GEORGIA)
actually what he means is HE SMACKING THEM NIGGAS
like about to ROCK THEM
