Choose the sword, and you will join me
Choose the ball, and you join your mother... in death
You don't understand my words, but you must choose
{*baby gurgling*}
So... come boy, choose life or death

from GZA (Ft. Ghostface Killah, Killah Priest & RZA) – 4th Chamber Lyrics 1 on Rap Genius

Like many of the skits on Liquid Swords, this is taken from the samurai film Shogun Assassin. The Japanese ritual of placing items in front of a baby, to determine their future, is the subject of this scene. The ball is ‘playing’ and obviously GZA/the Wu don’t play.
