(feat. P.Dot) [sample:] The legendary number one headband It's promise is power, omnipotence Immortality, but at what cost? One that is greater than any man can imagine And heavier than any man can bare No soul who has ever wore it's tattered grace Has ever escaped the torment of it's infinite burden Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! [Intro: P. Dot w/ RZA laughing] Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay (Afro!) [Chorus x2: P.

Dot:] Ay, ay, ay Ay, ay, ay Ay, ay, ay Ay, ay [Chorus x2: w/o RZA] [Outro: P. Dot] Ay, ay, ay
