On That Sht Again (Feat. Ghostface Killah & Rza)
Wu-Tang Clan
3:20The remedy for stress is a day and a rest A bag of sess, playing chess, yes My thoughts be sneaky like a crook from Brooklyn When you ain't looking, I take the queen with the rook then I get vexed, laying phat tracks on Ampex I was basically leaving the hustle life You know, going to night school striving to get a diploma and transitioning to a legitimate lifestyle That's what my life was like at that point when I met GZA He mentioned he had family and brothers in Staten Island that were putting this movement together This Wu-Tang thing. So one day he invites me to go to the studio with him I didn't go because I had to go to night school that evening So the next day he had a tape of what they did the night before And that tape was an unfinished version of "Protect Ya Neck." When I heard that, everything just became crystal clear now I never missed another studio session after that Whenever he told me he was going somewhere I was there It inspired me to sit down. Let me just see if I can write something I've never written a rhyme before this. So that's what I did I basically rehearsed that one rhyme, that one rhyme until I mastered it "You remember the rhyme?" It was the "Mystery of Chessboxin'" rhyme
