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
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
Three hundred holding hands, stolen grams
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."

    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.

    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.

  57. T.... B....

    Ennio Morricone music used as background track.

    T.... B....

    +Tom Betts Yes. Once Upon A Time In The West.

    T.... B....

    Ennio Morricone Meets Raekwon and Blackthought, plus Bruce Lee flick. This is heaven.

  58. M.... A....

    Black Thought's verse is one of the greatest of all time

    M.... A....

    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

    M.... A....

    This is hard man!!!!!!!!

    M.... A....

    @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!

    M.... A....

    @90schildnostalgia he didnt kill Big Pun

  59. y.... ....

    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.

    y.... ....

    +young00seek you're right it sends a strange vibe. still a sick song tho

    y.... ....

    This track is dope to me.

  60. A.... ....

    Why da fuck does Raekwon remind me so much of Mf Doom?

    A.... ....

    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

    A.... ....

    +Donye Murphy true man, both are legends

    A.... ....

    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.

    A.... ....

    +foxking39 hell yeah bro, DOOM and Rae are in kahoots

  61. s.... s....

    RIP bruce lee

  62. 1.... ....

    Dope Video

  63. c.... ....

    Black thought the great

  64. r.... ....

    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....

    r.... ....

    Truth be told! Word UP!

  65. J.... E....

    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.

  66. w.... ....

    remind me of big l and tupac deadly combination

    "When I was pushed out of the womb, the earth spurned..." - Thought!

    D.... M....
