With that album, he became an official member of the Wu-Tang Killa Beez, and from there on out, he frequently appeared on Wu records. In 1996, he played a large role on Ghostface Killah's Ironman.
During 1997, his Wu affiliation continued, as he rapped on the Clan's second album, Wu-Tang Forever.
Cappadonna's solo debut, The Pillage, finally appeared in March 1998. Like any Wu project, the record featured RZA as the executive producer and cameos from a number of other Wu members, including Method Man, U-God, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon. As the sixth Wu solo project, the album was an instant success upon its release, debuting at number three on the charts.
A sophomore effort, The Yin and the Yang, followed in early 2001. His third and latest album, The Struggle, was released on Code:Red in 2003.
The MC remained active in the following years releasing mix-CDs, doing tours and joining Ghostface Killah’s Theodore Unit. But his official comeback came at the end of 2007 on the Wu-Tang Clan’s fifth studio album 8 Diagrams. Cappa blessed the opening cut with an extraordinary verse and showed up on two other songs.
Cappadonna inked a deal with new indie label Chambermusik Records/Koch in 2008. Old and new fans have been asking for new Cappadonna ever since and on January 27, 2009, their wait will be over with the release of Slang Prostitution.
Bread of Life
Cappadonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The bread of life
'Cause I'm gonna feed all of why'll
I'm gonna feed all of why'll with intelligent lifespans man
I'm gonna give why'll vocabulary veggies
Word up and make why'll understand that
Now is the time to come amongst this nation
And end all devilishment
You don't really want God in your life
You don't really want God in your life
[Chorus: x3]
The bread of life
Drop jewels and take flight
In this royal army I'm gonna stand and fight
Pour my wars out basins
My gates is filled with live grazes
Live and die for the king
Escaping hells faces
Forces with chariots armed
Dark horses
God will make God ????? and face loses
Seven months to bury the dead
The lord said
Make a feast for the birds and bees to eat flesh
Shouldn't turn the man you are
Consume you in your darkness
Bloodbaths sealed with fire the lords wrath
Man fainted
Now they see the glory God painted
Heavens army made a statement on your anti-Christ arrangement
Swinging the sword against God
And every mountain
Unleash a vile plague on all you heathens who be doubting
Lined up
Split you in half and grind up
I lined up split you in half and grind up
Enemies are the most high dined hired up
When your times up
The Lord made his mind up
Everlasting torment for all you snakes who played foremen
I got pains in my stomach
I just need to eat
I can't take it no more it's like life in the street
Got my hands shaking
Stressed out for cess
This rap is like coke
My mother can't rest
Times is hard
GATS in the projects
Niggas got jealous since my LP
Made life better
Now why'll hate me
Putting my life down for G-O-D
I rock this
Only love can top this
Laced in clean spirits
Now I'm spotless
Pulling out nots
Now I make hits
Throw jewels at you
Reap the benefits
Laid back love eat my tuna fish
Like that why'll
My God'll slap why'll
Devils in the place
Angels'll trap why'll
[Chorus: x3]
As the full moon follow my passage
Enter my tomb now strike the matches
Light up the room
Open my caskets
there's my Mummy
Covered in maggots
Say the words bring me back like Lazarus
Came to pass like the old lady who read my tarrots
My GAT spit
Still I shed the tears of a saint
My hearts passion
Painting pictures that's mad graphic
After my words are said
My paper burns up in ashes
All my thugs surround me like Christ at the last supper
Cold winds beat upon the window shutters
We break bread
Eight Feds came in and bust us
They rush us
They took me I screamed to my dog
The Sun Of Man must suffer
They kill me
Another one will rise from the gutter motherfuckers
[Chorus]
We always in the struggle
Making those Wu-Banga's
We hang like hangers
It's the essence of hip-hop
Live in the present
Write rhymes or Hasson'll never test this
Eighties fundamental
God is essential
Rents due plus the greatest lesson is don't owe
Pray with the flow and cruise through the avenue
Blacked down like some of the Jews do
Guns kill so do a missile
All praise due
May the father be with you
A child need milk
These needles are specially built to open your mind
Now is the time oh Lord place your hands upon us
It's the meat by selling bricks
To building cocaine weak
People don't speak where it's rats and 'roaches
Cats and dogs
Cops roll like Bozz Hogg
In the jungle
Where every black man is Tarzan
We are gathered here today
In the name of this rap
We coming in peace
So nobody have to get clapped
[Chorus: x7]
You don't really want God in your life
The bread of life
You don't really want God in your life

Niggas got jealous since my LP

Goodness and righteousness will ultimately be victorious
As the full moon follow my passage
I am guided by the moon and its phases
Enter my tomb now strike the matches
Follow me into the depths and be enlightened
Light up the room
Illuminate your surroundings with knowledge and insight
Open my caskets
Face the truth of my teachings
There's my Mummy
Discover the ancient wisdom of the past
Covered in maggots
It may be unpleasant, but the truth can be hard to face
Say the words bring me back like Lazarus
My words have the power to restore life and vitality
Came to pass like the old lady who read my tarrots
The prophecies and predictions of others have come to fruition
My GAT spit
I am armed and prepared for battle
Still I shed the tears of a saint
I am emotional and compassionate, even in the face of adversity
My hearts passion
My passion and drive come from my heart
Painting pictures that's mad graphic
My words create vivid and intense images in the mind
After my words are said
Once my message is conveyed
My paper burns up in ashes
My words transcend the physical page and take on a life of their own
All my thugs surround me like Christ at the last supper
I am supported and loved by my community
Cold winds beat upon the window shutters
Difficulty and hardship are always present
We break bread
We share a meal and come together
Eight Feds came in and bust us
We are being persecuted by authorities
They rush us
We are under attack
They took me I screamed to my dog
I am being taken into custody and plead for help
The Sun Of Man must suffer
There will be pain and suffering before redemption and salvation
They kill me
I am martyred for my beliefs
Another one will rise from the gutter motherfuckers
Even if I fall, another will take my place and continue the struggle
