Sunlight Lyrics


The heart is the general, the eyes are the scouts
The fists are the arrows, the body is the bow
All movements have to be manualI'm the 7 in the center of the sun, I keep shinin'
My inner light would turn my baby's tear drop to small diamonds
That be twinklin' while my love be sprinklin'
We stay young while your old wicked faces be wrinklin'Allah's the most gracious, He made the universe the most spacious
Seen and heard in all places but still appear faceless
Embraces all races, all caste and all cases
In every spec of life He's the substance of all tracesThe answer to all questions, the spark of all suggestions
Of righteousness, the pathway to the road of perfection
Who gives you all and never ask more of you
The faithful companion that fights every war with youBefore the mortal view of the prehistorical, historical
He's the all and all, you searchin' for the oracle
A mission impossible, purely philosophical
But you call Him on your death bed when you layin' in the hospitalAnd as you play all day like the grasshopper who work and toil
Like armies of ants carryin' stones of soil
Building a home for themselves and storin' food
At night we praise Allah and adore the moonIn sync like the flow of the Nile, the growth of a child

Only fearin' God, we greet a ghost with a smile
That which is spirit is spirit, which is flesh is flesh
Meanin' life has no partnership with deathYo, I've been highly misunderstood by those who met us
They had ears of corn and heads of lettuce
Mentally dead, essentially lead by the false teachings
And eventually pledge their allegianceTo that which was against them and exempt them from the truth
Then juiced them and pimped them to give an entice
So the church could rise while their babies home hungry
Covered with flies, tryin' to harness the windAllah's the Father from without and within
On Christ return, who will announce Him?
Every tree is numbered but who can count them?
The name of all things on this world, who can pronounce them?
Allah is the Father of all, why do you doubt Him?The heart is the general, the eyes are the scouts
The fists are the arrows, the body is the bow
All movements have to be manual
The wrist must be strong and the fingers powerful
Fast high kicks, a good firm stance
Avoid the enemy's strong points

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Wu-Tang Clan is a New York City rap group with individuals hailing from Staten Island, Brooklyn and Bronx. They have gone on to become multi-platinum record producers, Grammy winners, TV and film stars, screenwriters, product spokespersons, business owners and, most recently, major motion picture composers. The Clan featured nine MCs until the death of Ol' Dirty Bastard in 2004. One of the most critically and commercially successful hip hop groups of all time, Wu-Tang Clan shot to fame through their uncompromising brand of hardcore rap music. Since their debut, they have introduced or launched the careers of numerous other artists and groups, and already in 1994 there were credited to be over 300 Wu-Tang Clan affiliates, known as the Wu-Tang Killa Bees, consisting of rappers, producers, and record label CEOs.

The founders of the Wu-Tang Clan were RZA, GZA/Genius, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, who had previously formed the group Force of the Imperial Master (later known as All In Together Now after the release of a popular single by that name). The group attracted the attention of some notable figures in the industry, including Biz Markie, but did not manage to secure a record deal. After the crew dissolved, GZA/Genius and RZA (then known as Prince Rakeem) embarked on their solo careers with Cold Chillin' Records and Tommy Boy Records respectively, but to little success. Their frustration with the workings of the hip hop music industry would provide the main inspiration to Wu-Tang Clan's revolutionary business plan. According to The Wu-Tang Manual, at the group's inception, RZA promised the members that if he had total control of the Wu-Tang empire, it would conquer the hip hop world within a dynastic cycle, after which he would relinquish his total control.

Wu-Tang Clan was gradually assembled in late 1992 from friends and accomplices from around Staten Island, New York, with RZA as the de-facto leader and the group's producer. Two of the cousins, GZA/Genius (pronounced Jizza) and RZA (pronounced Rizza), created their new Wu-Tang aliases by mimicking the sound that the words "genius" and "razor" would make when scratched on a turntable.

"Wu-Tang" comes from the name of the Taoist holy mountain Wu Dang in northwest Hubei Province in central China; it was also the site of the Ming Dynasty Purple Imperial City built during the reign of the Yongle Emperor in the early 15th century. RZA and Ol' Dirty Bastard adopted the name for the group after seeing the Kung fu film Shaolin and Wu Tang, which features a school of warriors trained in Wu-Tang style. The group's debut album loosely adopted a Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang theme, dividing the album into Shaolin and Wu-Tang sections and using dialogue excerpts as skits.

The group have also developed various backronyms for the name (as hip hop pioneers like KRS-One and Big Daddy Kane did with their names), including "We Usually Take All the Niggas' Garments," "Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game" and "Wisdom, Universe, Truth, Allah, Nation, and God".

Method Man has also mentioned that the "Wu" is the sound a sword makes when cutting through the air, and "Tang" is the sound it makes against a shield.

The Clan first became known to hip hop fans, and to major record labels, in 1993 (see 1993 in music) following the release of the independent single "Protect Ya Neck", which immediately gave the group a sizeable underground following. Though there was some difficulty in finding a record label that would sign Wu-Tang Clan while still allowing each member to record solo albums with other labels, Loud/RCA finally agreed, releasing their debut album, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), in late 1993. This album was popular and critically-acclaimed, though it took some time to gain momentum. Though hip hop had long had a gritty texture, the surreal aggression and minimalist production of 36 Chambers nevertheless had a huge impact on the genre, and was to prove massively influential over the next decade. By the beginning of the 21st century, the album had become a regular fixture on "Best Albums Of The 90s" lists as well as a frequent choice for "Best Albums Of All Time" lists. The success of Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers established the group as a creative and influential force in early 1990s hip hop, allowing GZA/Genius, RZA, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Ol' Dirty Bastard, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa to negotiate solo contracts.
The son of Old Dirty Bastard with the name Young Dirty Bastard is slated to release an upcoming album in 2011. He will be the first new artist under the Wu banner and the album will be called "Food Stamp Celebrity".
