One of the most underrated Wu-verses - Wu-Tang Corp. - Official Site of the Wu-Tang Clan

Yo, in the housing, thousands seen early graves
Victims of wordly ways, memories stays engraved
All my live brothers, is locked down with high numbers
The young hunger, blind to these lies, they die younger
In this New World the Order slaughter men, women, and children
Ten feet gates surround the building keep us sealed in
The projects, lifeless like a vietnam vet
Constant war, sever threats of enemy conquest
Crooked cops comb my building complex that's in the rumble
Streets are like a jungle, can't let my cypher crumble
Vivid thoughts, Devils resort to trick knowledge
They kick garbage, lust for chicks and quick dollars
I know the pain the game bring, I did the same thing
Spaced out in the staircase, performing a sting
It's hard to keep control, I bless those who seek a scroll
Trying to reach a whole nation and break the sleeper hold
Not a role model, I walk a hard role to follow
I sold bottles of sorrow then chose poems and novels
The gospel was told, some souls it swallowed whole
Mentally they fold, and they eventually sold
their life and times, deadly like the virus design
but too, minute to dilute, the science is mine

Deck on A better tomorrow. Such a great verse lyrically and flow. Also makes me realize how dude has fallen off badly in recent years.

I agree. The song it self is underrated.

Yeah this is one of my favorite songs on Forever. Deck takes the song, but I think all the verses are dope.

one of my favorite Deck verses ever and definitely one of my all-time favorite Wu joints overall...

but i don't think it's UNDERrated.....maybe by the most mainstreamy Wu fans, like those who only know C.R.E.A.M. and Triumph but claim to be Wu-heads
