"In the Divine Alphabet, Z stands for Zig-Zag-Zig, which means Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding. It’s the last letter in the alphabet and represents the final step of consciousness. So finally I just thought of the letters, as a title, not just a word. R-Z-A. It stands for Ruler-Knowledge/Wisdom/Understanding-Allah. In my life, I was zigging. I was going right but I zagged. I zagged and I almost died zagging. So I zigged back. I became the RZA. Rakeem Zig-Zag-Zig Allah. Later, people came to call me the RZA-rector — like I bring people back to life. But that year I found out the truth: The first person you have to resurrect is yourself."
