Words from the Genius was the first album released by the rapper GZA, under his old name, The Genius. It is historically significant as the only album GZA (or any Wu-Tang member) released before joining the Wu-Tang Clan in 1993.

It was re-released in 1994, with the song "Come Do Me" replaced by "Pass the Bone". Both versions are now out of print.
