As the greatest demonstration for freedom In the history of our nation
Five score years ago
A great American In whose symbolic shadow We stand today Look homicide is illegal Death is a penalty Never let go When you've got ahold of your enemy Eagle claw cobra clutch By any means necessary
I'll never let it go See my shadow ninja mic flow I throw a great entre dart Arrow to your temple Allmighty board you let it's to the insidious Plan of the Wu-Tang Clan Became a world brand We never let it go We talk a half a mil a show Never let go of your mind It's a terrible thing to waste To lose but it's very hard to find
Being that ignorance is lethal We must touch hearts tune souls Harmonize the people
Never let go of your plan execute So when you shoot Inspire everyone on the land
Never lose knowledge of yourself For it may become risk to your health And great loss of wealth
Never let go of your cream Never let go of your dream Players retire But they never let go of the team If you a rider then you Never let go of that thing Pull up your mans' like you better Let go of that bling This life's crazy Too many life sentences maybe Fatherless babies on the block But they father 380 That's just the hood lately never let go I'm what the hood made me Momma told me to find a good lady Never let go of staring at the death Like yo that's your best blow I still hold on like En Vogue The cold go to war with the heat Eyes wide never falling asleep All the talking is cheap Call'em ultimate warrior W W F I come up victorious Struggle is nothing to Deck Set it straight for the seeds To see a better new Take the real life by the rings And I ain't letting go
I ain't letting go
No matter what the odds be
No matter how hard we
You never let go Ayyo
Never let go of the fight Never let go of the mic My honesty my values My loyalty my pride And merry are those Who have passed to the other side Never letting go I'm never letting go of my beliefs My faith convictions real Both hands holding on Never let go the wheel We hood legends Misunderstood These lessons learned Growing up for manhood Keep focus on the prize What you better do A little taste of heaven Sunshine is where we headed to States what's ahead of you Always on the schedule
Smoke the gold leaf down To the residue
Letting go Is something that I never do Those who let go Live life regrettable Never let go of your hope Or your rope Eyes on the prize Never let go of the scope When I'm in jail Never let go of the soap Hold on boy never let go Never let go The all-eye-seeing the supreme Never let go The love of your seeds or your queen Never let go your heart Or the place you started The feeling that I had Wu-Tang had just charted The old earth departed I give thanks to the martyrs I never let go the love I have for thy father Never let go the glow The more I know the more That it shows I won't let go Even if I decompose Your seed will carry it on We need to carry it on Pass the baton Life is just the marathon And ain't' playing to win it It's an epidemic Never let go That's what the god recommended
No matter what the odds be
No matter how hard we And there will be neither rest Nor tranquility in America
The whirlwinds of revolt will continue To shake the foundations of our nation
Until the bright day of justice emerges
Who stand on the warm threshold Which leads into the palace of justice
For many of our white brothers As evidenced by their presence here today
Have come to realize that their destiny Is tied up with our destiny
And they have come to realize That their freedom is inextricably Bound to our freedom
