Lyrics
Verse I remember that day the abbot took me in/ made me a pupil and blessed me with the name Iron Wind/ it was this day that would forever change my life/ as i climb the steps to the temple of the order of light/ I finally reach the top sweat on my back/ known that once i enter inside there's no goin back/ I take a breath and proceed through the gates/ unaware of what mystical wonder awaits/ in the temple i see warrior monks chantin they song/ As the doors close behind me to the sound of a gong/ as i step forward ready to recieve my blessing/ I bow my head down and ask no questions/ a tue warrior now member of the clan/ who taught me what i know and put this mic in my hand/ so i can travel the earth and bless stages/ teaching knowledge through hip hop passed down throughout the ages/ Hook/Chorus 2x in the temple i learned to master the elemental/ settin fire to da mic when i spit on instrumentals/ deadly when equipped with the pencil utencil/ perfected its flow unlocked my true potentail/ Verse as my training began i felt the blood sweat and the tears/ watched the seasons change as i grew through the years/ knowledge was passed down to me from observing my peers/ and meditation was key to overcoming my fears/ studying various forms from watchin demonstrations/ in the temple courtyard upon the highest point of elevation/ learn from the wise and seek spiritual enlightment/ in this place of humblness and righteosness/ learn the techniques from the masters/ perfecting my skill by sparring amongst the deadliest rappers/ becoming one with nature and all things is crucil grabbin the mic in my hand and educating pupils/ on shoalin fundamentals when i step in da booth/ i do this for hip hop i do for da youth/ look hard enough and you might find me in the chamber/ in the temple with the pen writing another dope banger / Hook/Chorus 4x in the temple i learned to master the elemental/ settin fire to da mic when i spit on instrumentals/ deadly when equipped with the pencil utencil/ perfected its flow unlocked my true potentail/
