The Sun

Where did you come from?

High in the sky, you're the sun

I've been waiting for someone like you

Where did you come from?

I came from the wind, came from the seas/

Came from kings, came from queens/

Provided means to express what's seen/

I'm the hope that will gleam/

When things seem useless/

Futile, fruitless/

I'm hoping you can use this, the truth can be ruthless/

You're launching your attack, then you need some theme music/

Expressing your emotions in sync with the oceanic/

Tide -- believe but gonna grind, don't panic/

I could be frantic or maybe mellow and soothing/

No matter what tempo, with form I'm still moving/

I move Bob Marley and I moved Etta James/

Then they claim when the fire breaks out, I'm to blame/

Same people who raised hell in their youth/

Now they got all types of advice to tell you/

Do what you feel if your actions are real/

Then you shall find glory when the truth is revealed/

Just follow your call and when your visions are done/

Then wander ...

Chorus:

Where did you come from?

High in the sky, you're the sun

I've been waiting for someone like you

Where did you come from?

Where did I come from? Well it starts with the drum/

Enemies run once you hear my rhythm, you're done/

You shouldn't have come/

It shouldn't have spun us into bondage/

Forty acres and a mule, another broken promise/

We're working in the fields where you should pay us as farmers/

Make a compromise, well that's the way you Uncle Tom us/

Divide and conquer, on the road we grow stronger/

Every situation you create will make us thoughtful/

Freedom's what we long for/

Our pain and our soul/

All captured by a reel as our story is told/

So our future generations can express and unfold/

In modern societies as we're nearing our goals/

Emcees will be the vessel, as long as they don't aim/

The minds of our youth toward material gains/

If this starts to happen then you'll turn towards the captain/

That's where you'll find me checking in ready for action/

Solar generated, cultivated by the sun/

Just follow your call and when your missions are done/

Then wander ...

Where did you come from?

High in the sky, you're the sun

I've been waiting for someone like you

Where did you come from?

Where did I come from? Sit back and just wonder/

Earth is my element -- lightning, thunder/

Grey skies signify the pain I been through/

You can see it in my eyes unleashed at every venue/

Messages I send you can cut like Tenchu/

Until you recognize your potential I won't let you/

Wander aimless, nameless, carrying the stainless/

Steel concealed, ******* with crime to gain famous/

Low -- wanna race around the world, let's go/

No luggage though -- that anger that you carry let go/

I ran far, way past the prices in Bien Mur/

Through to the Mugabe where eternal sands are/

Gazed at the horizon and the future looked enticing/

So my only choice, lay out my path and keep grinding/

Wiling -- saying **** the critics, never compromising/

I'll push your eyes in if you're sleeping while I'm verbalizing/

Yes I do this out of love and for the fun/

Just follow your call and when your missions are done/

Then wander...
