Sun
Ghostface Killah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, good mornin'
Good mornin', time to get up

Look at the sun, so pretty today it's so bright and so smashin'
Blastin', helps out the grass and
Smile when its mornin' time, last night I wrote 3 rhymes
I woke up to the see the Sun shine and
God is my witness in scriptures and pictures
The Sunkist scrumptous, son, it's nutritious
It makes me wanna climb, take a bite out of shine
"This little light of mine, of mine, of mine"
Yo, the Sun could never be pussy, he always come out
He'll sit right there, even if you pull ya gun out
He can never run out, when the lights go out
It's Japan's turn now, the Earth had spun around
I see yellow and green, it's a beautiful thing
The sky is blue cuz the Sun hit the water like bling
A reflection (uh-huh), and that's all it is (word)
You can't stare at him long 'cause your face will do like this

Look who shinnin' again (oh my my my)
We been rhymin' again (oh my my my)
Ice be blindin' the men (oh my my my)
You come through time and time again (oh my my my)

Check out my nephew
He jumped up in the window just to see you
Look what he drew, a car-house, always wants to be with you
He's just as jolly, he's always beggin' me to let him see you
I'm like, "Probably if you clean up and read a little"
You make people eyes glow
you got the Weather Channel buggin', and you stubborn when it snow
You my mentor, mothers name they kids after you
New slang, nothin' personal, we knowin' what you been through
(Sun) You roll like one in a million yo
(Sun, sun) You always find like one in the buildin' yo
We'd owe us babies from day one
All I had was you on my birthday, baby think you owe me one
The way the world look when you around
Prisioners get out, look up grin at you, and then kiss the ground
You my favorite, I wish we had three more of you
I adore you, plus I even wrote a story for you

Look who shinnin' again (oh my my my)
We been rhymin' again (oh my my my)
Ice be blindin' the men (oh my my my)
You come through time and time again (oh my my my)

How a diverse Sun, can be enrichenin' cruel
Reachin' the full 98, and got the kids in the pool
Isn't it cool how it spreads joy, hun's lay in it
and it's hard to go back to work, when your lunch break's finished
Ah strike and I fought, so it's a fact I support
Feelin' the warm sunrays, upon your back as you walk
The heat driven, a theory I clung to deep with it
Is souls have to go through the Sun to reach heaven and
Sense and retreat, our souls battered to seek
Madam believe since dinosaurs, and Adam and Eve
That Sun's hovered to the extermination of us
It's a peephole which leads to the firmament above us

Who can take a rain drop and turn it to glee?
And drawn up six miles, over tropical isles and bring it to the sea?

Look who shinnin' again (oh my my my)
We been rhymin' again (oh my my my)




Ice be blindin' the men (oh my my my)
You come through time and time again (oh my my my)

What a jam. I just remembered this joint! One of my favorites of all time. So mellow, and so good at the same time. Rae's verse just kills me: "Check out my nephew, he jump up in the window just to see you, look what he drew: a car, house, always wants to be with you. He's just a jolly, he always begging me to let him see you. I'm like, 'probably; if you clean up and read a little'" "Yo the sun can never be pussy, he always come out, he'll sit right there even if you pull your gun out..." Only ghost can make the Sun sound gangsta, lol.
