Lyrics

[Intro: RZA] Yo, this song is... Ayo, Dunn, this song is called Sunshower 'Cause we approaching the final hour You know I ahh, all I can say to my brothers and sisters right now Is stay close to your families and all your loved ones 'Cause this globe is about to explode with hatred They killing for pennies, knahmsayin'? Peace to the Gods, we got a heavy job Yo, yo [Verse 1: RZA] Trouble follows behind a wicked mind 20/20 vision of the prism of light but still blind Because you lack the inner, every sinner Will end up in the everlasting winter of hellfire Throw on this mix, just picks your third eye out, you cry out Your words fly out and the sounds die out, you remain unheard Suffering eternally, internal external Along with your wicked fraternal of generals to colonels Releasin' thermonuclear heat that burns you firmly And permanently upon this journey Through the journal of the book of life Those who took a life without justice will become just ice ice ice It's been taught that your worst enemy couldn't harm you As much as your own wicked thoughts What devils thought, we wrought, and let's annoint Now you're bein persecuted by that universal court court court Iron hell with the strong blend of rape and blend of sandal With rose petals and jasmine, as men use talismans Burn some incense, chanting witchcraft to reach higher dimensions I'm convinced, Allah is God, always has been always will be You could travel every square inch of the planet Earth and still be Ninety-three million miles away from the Sun 'Til you realize you and the Sun is one, like the Knowledge Know the Ledge to where your heart is Or fall off into the internal hell that's uncharted Light travels at the rate of one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second Through time and space, until it reach a target And once we're freed of darkness And show 'em where the path from which the Red Sea was parted, into these straight At the narrow gate, but wide is the road to destruction and hate What you thought, life was a sport? A game? One hundred years short, know the soul is immortal Walk through many portals, and those who go astray Will pay a judgment day And these few years of wicked bullshit ain't worth the eternity inside a sulfur lake With dragons and snakes, and any pain you can imaginate Instead, I chose to become a newlywed to the true bread of life and fed God Degree of light to my head It's been said, the fool who sleep is already dead, so I stay awake And take care of my brother, and uncover to reveal the skin So we can see each other, 'cause every color That makes the light appear duller Who's the colored man? Who's the original? Who's the biochemical? Who's the grafted digital, digital, digital, digital Digital.. [Pre-Verse] Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo [Verse 2: RZA] Two hundred thousand million atoms per cubic feet of air we breathe While niggas minds are trapped twenty thousand fathoms Beneath the sea of reality, they can't inhale deep Devils have 'em stagnant, a trapping The .45 magnum and shatter bone fragments Cops love the block you getting backed up by Dragnet Thrown into a six by eight steel cabinet Lifting weights, reading ancient tablets, back on the block nobody's having it Those who haven't learnt get returned You freaky ass niggas get burned Some walk around like they ain't concerned with the hell goin' on inside the world Why do grown men molest little girls? Is it because the girl's breast has swelled To the size of a woman, although she's twelve The whole world is sick, sick, sick Trapped up in 666 I started off as a pawn in this marathon of life, tryna carry on Wishing I had a bomb to blow up Babylon A vagabond, tryna steal sportswear from Paragon Going in circles, like a ferris wheel Undernourished meals, I cherish hope Drown inside the sea of life, use my third eye for a periscope And take flight to the edge of night to far heights So dark that even with a bright light you couldn't see a spark of light While others play ball, I recall me and GZA, Dirty hanging in halls, bangin' on walls Kicking rhymes three hours straight with no pause Boosting from Freeport sunrise to Amityville morgue Kept razorblade between the jaws, breaking all laws Started out writing fables to making beats on lunchroom tables To wearing long cables that hung down to the navel So pack some crack and fat sacks of skunk To funnel the P-Funk, smoking woolie blunts Dust cocktails and primos, shot more dice than casinos Back when Wu-Gambinos were called F.O.I. MCs All In Together Now CrewB.C.C REC Posse, G.P., D.M.D Ol' Dirty stalked East New York, GZA maintained Franklin Lane I was born in Thomas & Jeff, where students got slain Old Earth got nervous, walked me to Shaolin, sent me to Curtis Took share time in Marquis, U-God general contracting service While Meth, Chef and Deck was off the New Dorp For white boys who took steroids Building up bicep, tricep, pectoids and deltoids Back when our girlfriends was virgins Cutting class with Ghost tryna bag hoes in Murry Bergtraum A Maybeline beacon, night school, Washington Irving These young Gods was seekin' Hoes in Westinghouse and Clara Barton and Medina Girls who sung like Sarafina On the corner of Belmont and Picket Avenue I seen her As if I dreamed her I was dead broke, now I will use key notes to make G-notes So it's always hope See, subway train run through the city like blood through the veins To the heart of Medina, but Shaolin is the brain So take heed to these words And feel the power of the Sunshower [Outro] Approaching the final hour Power Equality, Allah Cees Everything Let's come together under the wings and take flight Wu-Tang, the saga RZArectah in your sector
