Raekwon - Masters Of Our Fate Lyrics
[Sample: Winston Churchill]
Now we are the masters of our fate
That the task which has been set us is not above our strength
That it's pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance
As long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable will-power
Salvation will not be denied us
Salvation will not be denied us
We are the masters of our fate
Long as we have faith, an unconquerable will-power
Salvation will not be denied us
[Verse 1: Raekwon]
The time has come, I've just begun, this is designer rum
My wallet got flowers on it, kill it cowards
From the land, the stolen land, where gold chains control a man
I play the phantom, waving,
Leave that nigga for dead, or should I save him
Spitting out phlegm, no, just grave them
I remember days, I used work for niggas, eat jerk with niggas
Buying whip, is laughing and joking, trying to flip
Clip is loyal, fly spoil on the block, display royal
Even though we go back to royals, black oils
Live as ever, can't tell me nothing, whatever
This thing of ours, is empowered by my niggas who pumping
Twenty four hours of slang motion, wave brush
Ya knew my hair was the ocean, running through the building
Just negation, some of the creeps
Knew me very well, knew he would sell, knew he was potent
[Sample:]
Now we are the masters of our fate
That the task which has been set us is not above our strength
That it's pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance
As long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable will-power
Salvation will not be denied us
[Verse 2: Black Thought]
OK, bridges I burn some, lessons I learn some
Money, I spent some, lent some, earn some
My eyes tell it, tell her the hell I return from
Spark up an L from the homeys I haven't heard from
Burn when the herbs come, I'm living large
Never chilling on the curb, just a villain on the verge, son
My tenth shot is as efficient as the third one
Second one, first one, worse come to worse run
When I was pushed out the womb, the Earth spun
The only way to describe this is inertia
Some rappers think they can try me, who the first up?
I don't guarantee no survivors, niggas, surf's up
Yeah, soul on ice, courage is sacrifice
Hold on tight, and save your laughter for the afterlife
These chumps thinking they good, ain't even half as nice
Your fate'll be a one way ticket to paradise, what?
[Sample:]
Now we are the masters of our fate
That the task which has been set us is not above our strength
That it's pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance
As long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable will-power
Salvation will not be denied us
Salvation will not be denied us
In the words of the Psalmist
"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings
His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord."

How am I just now coming across this jewel !!!!!
This song is so hard. It's just great.
Black niggaz only rapper real rapper king
When I was pushed out the womb the Earth spun.
The only way to describe it is inertia. 🔥🔥🔥
Sorry and sad for knowing this so late in 2019
Does anybody else know the origin of the sample?..Let me tell you. Once Upon A Time in The West is a classic western with Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and Henry Fonda. One of my favorite movies EVER. i only discovered this track today and it's blown my mind. Whoever produced this and decided to use the sample is a genius. I have had this track on a loop all day. Black Thought is officially my favorite MC of ALL TIME
Black Thought reigns Supreme
Absolutely Incredible MC'ing
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Sick wit itttttt
Thank You, That was awesome!
Best Hip Hop Video Ever!
this is hip hop ,luv Reakwon & Thought
Who ever diss liked this is trippin!!
Waste of a couple good samples and two dope MCs
I like that beat cuz it's that 90s style with some boom in it unlike these soft ass beats made nowadays.
Peace just found this! The Gods! So ill!
"My 10th shot is as official as the 3rd one, 2nd one 1st one, worst come to worse run" 🤲🏿
Tight!!! Oh and by the way the beat samples Ennio Morricone's theme for the movie Once Upon A Time In The West. The scene where Charles Bronson is in a stand off with Henry Fonda.
1:42 - "Boards don't hit back."
ennio moricone simple man wtf this aint real RESPECT
Damn Tariq Trotter is the dópest ever ... but I knew that since 96’
Yessir. Some of the illest verses in the history of hip hop are on Illadelph Halflife courtesy of Mr. Trotter
Nas should be on this to
Holy shit I'm way too late to this...this beat, these lyrics...this is fucking NASTY.
This is what the game is missing
Black Thought is the sh*t.
Legends 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rest in peace Bruce Lee
Pure hiphop
This is raekwons best album.. and yes I know all about the Cuban linx
That vid/song combo was pure art.
Raekwon n Black Thought classic SUPER FACTS hope they do more work together.
Raekwon metaphoric, laid back flow matched with Black Thought's ruff and rugged spit fire lyrics makes for one unforgettable Classic
“ your fade be a one way ticket to paradise “
Love rae but thought stole this
Black Thought is definitely a greatest Mc ever!! Truth
Pure Greatness from 2 heavyweights And a Legend in BRUCE LEE
raspect salute real hip hop
clasSICK materIaLL! DOPE! Peace!
Thought and Brother Bruce. Legendary combo.
Undeniably one of my top 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thought or Chef?
I'm cryin right now. Real shit like this keeps me sane. Wu forever
I'm crying. Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
#BlackWu
Peace God, Peace
Black thought = Goat
Magnificent video
Enter the Dragon is possibly one of the best movies ever made
Classic fight scene! Bruce Lee's got the swagger!
Bruce Lee helped push the revolution of music and life he was the hero for minority. That was who I looked up to as a kid until Black exploitation films of the came out.
the beat ,the flow,the lyrics =the goats
Jesus Christ Black Thought is fucking ridiculous
Cos he's the Black Thought, He's all up in your mind
Black Thought wittiest lyrical mc from philly..Cassidy then beans after
Don't forget "P. Crizzle , make the beat POP & SIZZLE ."
Just from Philly? How about universally. And I'm a Nas fan.
EST top 5 to come out of Philly all time the young bull was ahead of his time
2KILLAVILLE 👍
Black Thought is the realist MC
Now we are the masters of our fate
That the task which has beset us is not above our strength
That its pains and toils are not beyond our endurance
As long as we have faith in our goals
And unconquerable will power
Salvation will not be denied us!
Salvation will not be denied us!
We are the masters of our fate!

Black Thought GOAT in my opinion
@Devan Bishop BOB sucks but KRIT is the definition of soulful
@sukka 1P57 And a flat earther, he's dumb as fuck
@Kyle Kacharo Yeah. I agree, KRIT is dope as fuck
I agree
Black thought, more like universal thought
+theherbpuffer mwahahahahaha, black thought is universal thought young grasshopper.
PhilFelaFar So true bruh
Black is the universe... Look at space that. infinite darkness is... Black
Enter the dragon
dope song dope how they did the video ..deep
Ennio Morricone music used as background track.
+Tom Betts Yes. Once Upon A Time In The West.
Ennio Morricone Meets Raekwon and Blackthought, plus Bruce Lee flick. This is heaven.
Black Thought's verse is one of the greatest of all time
This! I can't be mad that people are realising how good he is, but it's funny to me that he's all of a sudden being hyped when he's already put in all the work with The Roots and killed every guest verse. He's damn near 50
This is hard man!!!!!!!!
@90schildnostalgia yeah bro BT is like RA the rugged man. Always out shinning his opponents. The only dude I've ever heard out verse BT is Mos def. In both hurricane and the cypher with eminem. He's definitely a God!
@90schildnostalgia he didnt kill Big Pun
Love these two artists...good concept, but the production seems...rushed? Sample is too loud compared to the rest of the beat. Need to hear those bass plucks louder. Long baseline notes are wrong. Could've been dope bcs the sample arrangement was coo.
+young00seek you're right it sends a strange vibe. still a sick song tho
This track is dope to me.
Why da fuck does Raekwon remind me so much of Mf Doom?
Similar flow, from the same area so they're gonna have a similar voice. They're both going down in history as two of the best to do it
+Donye Murphy true man, both are legends
He does sound like DOOM on this song a lot, but Rae and DOOM have always been chill. Hell, on DOOM's album "Born Like This" he gave Rae an entire song to himself.
+foxking39 hell yeah bro, DOOM and Rae are in kahoots
RIP bruce lee
Dope Video
Black thought the great
Everything about what you did hear is amazing! The next level song combined with the clips from an incredibly legendary film make it all epic!! Major props....
Truth be told! Word UP!
Terrific sampling and beautifully simple production that goes with a few great lyrics here and there and a cut together video of Enter the Dragon that somehow really suits. Great upload, great song.
remind me of big l and tupac deadly combination
@ Vancouver entertainment. My FB. Is Hip-Hop back in the day. Type it in the search. Got a turntable as the logo. Peace

Anybody know what album this is from?
Raekwons Shaolin vs Wu Tang album
You could always READ the description.
"When I was pushed out of the womb, the earth spurned..." - Thought!
+Dhlimi Munza The earth "spun" not spurned. Woman is symbolic to the planet earth that is why he said after that "inertia" which is the rotation of the earth.
General Zod, my bad and thank you for the correction!
The earth spun
its a speech by british prime minister winston churchill
