D.N.Angel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wahdahu La Sharika Lahu by far
Rock rock y'all, between the tick tock y'all
I came out the Magnolia like the beetle
The genie of the incense smoke
From the church steeple, mixed with the prayers of the people
Pollination Subhana wa Ta'ala Nation
Roc Nation causing shock waves in the basement
Seven thousand kilohertz
With every verse I heal the earth
With every line I drop the tears of man into a cloud
In a fine mist until it bursts and rain from the brain
Snowflakes for the pain
The flow is just so insane, we wondering why you came
Here's a jewel son, be yourself
Quit looking like someone else
Get your dignity off the shelf
The true Jedi code is stealth
Stay in tune with whatever else
The asiatic galactic master of the atlas
Author of mathematics civilized the savage
Terrorize the clerics
Big black chief like Robert Parish
I broke the deputy neck while Metal Face shot the sheriff
Soul rebel in the deadly bout with the devil
Conquering every level
The best part is where I settle
Spread love through every ghetto, plus suburbia
Me over the track is a acquisition, a merger couldn't be any further
Woke the game up into a fervor, then disappeared like the burglar
The style you never heard of
The very premise is murder
But sweeter than a Werthers
Roam the Earth like Bedouins and Berbers
The great ancient goat herder, emerging through your server
Ash Hadu Allah Ilaha Illallah, Wa Dahu La Sharika Lahu by far
Rock rock y'all, between the tick tock y'all
DOOM out the vortex to your neocortex
Your guess who spit the rawness is good as gore-tex
Metal Face turtleneck vest, built to support bras
Standard issue for broads, carbon like a sports car
Anybody ask, he retired
Tried to hold the villain to task, he was fired
Fired up, his own boss on strike
Accused of using hot pepper sauce on the mic
Get tossed on a spike or cross if you like
So be cautious, leave 'em nauseous as pork sausages
Salami and some bacon, some bacon and some ham
Plans get mistaken for a scam, ah damn fam
Bless the child who hold his own, none could master respect
Soundwave transform like rumble ratchet eject
It's more secret than Al Gore's wallet
Or Val Thor's comet
Or style wars, bomb it
(Wa Dahu La Shareika Lahu)
The lyrics of True Light by D.N.Angel are a mixture of Eastern and Western influences, with references to Arabic religious phrase and ideas of self-expression and individuality. The opening lines "Ash Hadu Allah Ilaha Illallah, Wahdahu La Sharika Lahu" are an Arabic phrase that translates to "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, without partner" and are often recited in Islamic prayer. The verses that follow speak of the author's emergence, representing himself as the genie of incense smoke, and mixed with the prayers of the people from a church steeple. This imagery is an attempt to show the blending of influences that have shaped the person the author has become. The rest of the lyrics reference different themes of self-expression and fighting against conformity, creating an overall message to be true to yourself.
The song's use of language is a reflection of the group's diverse backgrounds and influences. This includes MF DOOM, an American rapper known for his intricate wordplay and use of obscure samples, and Talib Kweli, an American rapper and social activist known for his politically charged lyrics. The music itself is a fusion of hip-hop and anime, reflecting the show D.N.Angel for which the track was produced. The song's mix of Eastern and Western styles speaks to the show's mixing of Japanese and Western animation styles.
