Killarmy released numerous singles from 1995 to 1997, including "Swinging Swords" and "Camouflage Ninjas" as well as the Sunz Of Man collaborations "Wake Up" and "Soldiers of Darkness". The album Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars was released in 1997 just after the release of the Wu-Tang Clan's second album, as well as a 12" single containing two tracks from the album, "Wu-Renegades" and "Clash of the Titans". Shortly after the group's manager General Wise was shot dead in Steubenville, but the group pressed on undeterred, appearing on the Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm compilation and each making numerous appearances on other Wu-Tang projects from the Clansmen themselves and from other affiliates. The group's second album Dirty Weaponry was released in 1998 and the third, Fear, Love & War was released on September 11, 2001. In 2002, the group received some controversy following the Washington D.C. sniper attacks. On an episode of Tim Russert's Meet the Press, Russert and Montgomery County police chief Charles Moose stated that Killarmy influenced the shootings, and referenced a number of lyrics to support the claims. Despite the press attention, nothing materialized from the accusations. In 2002, Dom Pachino became the first group member to release a solo album, with Tera Iz Him. 9th Prince followed in 2003 with his solo debut Granddaddy Flow. ShoGun Assasson is rumored to be the next member to release a solo album.
FULL MOON
Killarmy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I came to you there on that cold
telephone pole horror of the night
and you came out to meet me
and then tell me things and sit down on the porch swings
<9th Prince>
Congratulations you coming home next month
Humble as a monk
We celebrate with Crystal and skunk
The family's large
It's hard being God
Still take charge come home to a massage
A line of credit cards with a Land Cruiser parked in the garage
And trying to make up for the times when you was gone
Being locked up while my heart was torn
You wrote me letters
Telling me when you come home things will be much better
I mailed you a pair of Tims for a Wu-Wear sweater
Up in the penal dipped (?) for the weather
In difficult times it's hard to maintain
I strive to live in the shelter that blocks out the rain
And that rain is pain
For stress on the brain will have a nigga insane
Forced to stay awake
Late nights it's hard to sleep
When I peek
Cause the kitchen's chopped up (?) they be trying to creep on me
Mental explosion when I meditate over by Taca Lake
Thoughts remain calm like the ocean
Puff a little war potion
Everything relates to emotion
When I stare at the stars surrounded by trees
Sometimes I feel like a fallen leaf
Blown away by wind realities
Strong breeze, but you're free
I took the block off the horn
So let knowledge be born
Blood brothers forever
Killa be 's on the swarm
Dom P's (?) past, guns blast
I recollect on the past
On how we ran wild together
Chasing cash and ass
Small time thing
Managing stings for nugget rings
Went back far like acorn fights on modern swings
Kingpin style, juveniles raised with major flav
Tenth grade came went on our own and severed ways
Never realized Poppy would die or leave my side
Homicide never
I visualize better
You live forever in my heart son
Mentally dunn we roll together
No years past I still hear blasts as guns flashed
My nigga run fast he sumble to a lifeless crash
On the concrete my leg felt weak
I couldn't eat let alone sleep
This shit is way beyond bone deep
Now I sip beers
Shed a few tears with our peers
Play the rears
Do the knowledge through glares and cold stares
Yo it's hard kid
I swear to my unborn this war's going on
Veterans taking falls to young pawns
But I stay strong and try to move on
And live life to the fullest
Rest in peace to the God who took a bullet
The song "Full Moon" by Killarmy is a poignant and introspective exploration of the pain and struggles faced by those who have been incarcerated and their loved ones who are waiting for them to come home. The chorus sets the scene with the imagery of a cold and lonely night, perhaps reflecting the despair of those who have been separated from their families and loved ones. When the singer meets his friend or brother, the lyrics switch to a first-person point of view as they discuss the challenges of readjusting to life outside of prison. The first verse, performed by 9th Prince, deals with the difficulties of trying to make up for lost time and the guilt that can come with being away from those you love. He speaks about his desire to be a god-like figure and take charge of his life, but acknowledges that it can be a struggle to maintain that kind of power. The second verse, performed by Killa Sin, reflects on the memory of a friend who has passed away and the impact that it has had on his life. He speaks about the pain of loss and how it can be difficult to move on, even after many years have passed.
One of the powerful themes of "Full Moon" is the idea of perseverance and the need to keep moving forward despite the obstacles in one's path. The lyrics speak to the idea of finding strength and hope in difficult times, even when it seems like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. This is reflected in the chorus, which speaks about the importance of coming together and finding comfort in the midst of pain.
Overall, "Full Moon" is a moving and deeply personal song that touches on themes of loss, grief, and hope. It provides a window into the struggles faced by those who have been incarcerated and the emotional toll that it can take on their loved ones.
Line by Line Meaning
When I came to you there on that cold
I arrived at your location during a chilling night
telephone pole horror of the night
the environment was eerie and daunting with bleak scenery
and you came out to meet me
you appeared and greeted me politely
and then tell me things and sit down on the porch swings
you shared your thoughts and sat with me on the swing chairs
Congratulations you coming home next month
congratulations on your upcoming release from confinement
Humble as a monk
you are returning with a modest attitude
We celebrate with Crystal and skunk
we will commemorate your release with champagne and marijuana
The family's large
our family has many members
It's hard being God
it’s arduous playing the role of an all-powerful figure
Still take charge come home to a massage
I will still assume responsibility and come home to a relieving massage
A line of credit cards with a Land Cruiser parked in the garage
I have credit cards and a luxury vehicle for your enjoyment
And trying to make up for the times when you was gone
I am attempting to compensate for your absence
Being locked up while my heart was torn
while you were confined, my emotions were in distress
You wrote me letters
you corresponded with me through the mail
Telling me when you come home things will be much better
you promised life would improve upon your release
I mailed you a pair of Tims for a Wu-Wear sweater
I sent you shoes and clothing
Up in the penal dipped (?) for the weather
you endured harsh conditions in the correctional facility
In difficult times it's hard to maintain
troublesome moments make it difficult to remain strong
I strive to live in the shelter that blocks out the rain
I attempt to exist in circumstances that prevent hardship
And that rain is pain
adversity causes suffering
For stress on the brain will have a nigga insane
mental strain may lead to insanity
Forced to stay awake
I am compelled to stay alert
Late nights it's hard to sleep
during late hours, it is difficult for me to rest
When I peek
when I look around
Cause the kitchen's chopped up (?) they be trying to creep on me
due to the surveillance of my surroundings, I am cautious of trespassers
Mental explosion when I meditate over by Taca Lake
I experience intense emotions when contemplating near Taca Lake
Thoughts remain calm like the ocean
my mind is tranquil like the sea
Puff a little war potion
I indulge in some marijuana
Everything relates to emotion
all things are connected to the feelings they evoke
When I stare at the stars surrounded by trees
I look at the stars while encompassed by nature
Sometimes I feel like a fallen leaf
occasionally I feel powerless or low
Blown away by wind realities
the harsh realities of life deeply affect me
Strong breeze, but you're free
although the wind is strong, you are liberated
I took the block off the horn
I unblocked the line of communication
So let knowledge be born
let us share our wisdom
Blood brothers forever
we are connected like family for life
Killa be 's on the swarm
Killaarmy is taking over
Dom P's (?) past, guns blast
memories of violence and shootings
I recollect on the past
I reflect on past experiences
On how we ran wild together
on our reckless behavior together
Chasing cash and ass
pursuing wealth and women
Small time thing
it was a small-scale operation
Managing stings for nugget rings
conducting illegal activities for jewelry
Went back far like acorn fights on modern swings
our friendship goes back to childhood memories
Kingpin style, juveniles raised with major flav
we acted like dominant gangsters when we were young
Tenth grade came went on our own and severed ways
we went our separate paths after 10th grade
Never realized Poppy would die or leave my side
I never expected Poppy to pass away or abandon me
Homicide never
there was no murder involved
I visualize better
I envision a brighter future
You live forever in my heart son
you will always have a special place in my heart
Mentally dunn we roll together
our unity is unbreakable
No years past I still hear blasts as guns flashed
to this day, I still hear gunfire
My nigga run fast he sumble to a lifeless crash
my friend ran quickly but fell to a deadly crash
On the concrete my leg felt weak
I was shocked and emotional
I couldn't eat let alone sleep
I was too upset to even consider eating or sleeping
This shit is way beyond bone deep
this situation deeply affected me
Now I sip beers
I drink alcohol to cope
Shed a few tears with our peers
I cry with our friends
Play the rears
I listen to music
Do the knowledge through glares and cold stares
I absorb knowledge despite being faced with negativity
Yo it's hard kid
it is difficult, my friend
I swear to my unborn this war's going on
I vow to fight this battle until the end
Veterans taking falls to young pawns
experienced individuals are losing to inexperienced ones
But I stay strong and try to move on
I remain strong and attempt to progress
And live life to the fullest
to live life with no regrets
Rest in peace to the God who took a bullet
I offer my condolences to the individual who passed away due to violence
