Ghostface Killah, Cappadonna and Raekwon trade verses over a sample of Otis Redding's 'Change Is Gonna Come', the production handled by Tru Master. The track opens with a monologue about organised crime and the dangers of drugs, a framing device that sits uneasily against the boastful rap that follows. Ghostface moves through vivid, almost hallucinatory imagery: slot machines in Queens, Playboy spreads, dashikis and afro picks, his vocal cords described as laser beams. The writing is dense and allusive, piling detail upon detail without pause for breath. Cappadonna and Raekwon follow with their own verses, the former adopting a harder edge, the latter settling into the familiar Wu-Tang posture of street credibility and material ambition. The song never quite reconciles its opening warning with the celebration of excess that dominates the verses, but that tension is part of its appeal. The production sits back, letting the three voices dominate; the sample provides texture rather than thrust.
