Tribulations
Sunz of Man Lyrics

I ain't want nothing known but a bank roll.
I desire only money to be known, nothing else.

On the other side of 123rd St., bro'.
Referring to a specific location.

Bringing it straight off the currency.
Dealing directly with money.

Now this shit is tough.
This situation is difficult.

I got this shit magic from here to Texas trap.
I possess mystic qualities throughout a vast area.

With the god's jewels stash.
Having a hoard of valuable things.

Life is reality, reality is life
Life is real, and reality is life.

People living trife, the world filled with strife
People are living a difficult life, and there is conflict everywhere.

The gods living, writing exact, too many lacks
The spiritual universe is watching, recording every action, and humanity is lacking.

Black on black crime, no vest, another victim laided to rest
African Americans are committing crimes against each other, often resulting in death.

Niggaz living trife, bitches living sheisty,
People are living dangerously, and women are acting deceitful.

Break bread, eliminate feds and dead heads
Earn money and eliminate law enforcement and dead people.

I seen the bloodshed, devils decay, torture, enslave
Witnessed violent acts, decline of morality, and acts of cruelty.

From Red Hook to Compton, Fort Green to Albany
Referring to specific locations.

Some adversaries and fairies caught the bad decision
Enemies and weak-minded individuals made terrible choices.

Physical collision, we leave 'em deaf and holy like some christians
Violent confrontations often leave people deaf or dead, similar to how Christians consider martyrdom as a holy act.

Your rap exoriantation, low down international business, players exchanging
A description of the music industry, with players doing shady business dealings.

Your ears pound, throw down erasing
The sound is intense and can cause one to forget everything.

Maneuvering, moving like slugs from a silencer
Moving slowly, quietly, and methodically.

My fleet of seven on your calendar, fuck an amateur
A reference to an organized group with experience, and not interested in working with inexperienced people.

Game premeditated, crime related, rhyme intensive
The music industry, specifically rap, focuses on violent crime and rhyming lyrics.

Chess, some hardest gamers, the world black as entertainment
A metaphor for the music industry being like a strategic game, where the hardest players succeed, and the world consumes black culture as entertainment.

Your time is short, change your thought, rearrange your sports
Life is brief, so change your mindset and priorities quickly.

Before being pork on a fork, I get scorched by the torch
Before being killed or caught by law enforcement, I would rather die in more dramatic circumstances.

In this Sunz of Man federation, pure meditation
A group dedicated to spiritual enlightenment through meditation.

Righteous advocation, teaching for the blind in my nation
Promoting moral causes and educating those who don't understand the truth.

Hit grim, stitchy grain, playing half, broke that untouchable
Descriptions of gritty life situations.

Still tapping plants, by the forced in, rap street, yo extortion
Crafty businessmen extorting people in the music industry.

In the beast like orcra, swim across the border
Surviving in a dangerous environment, doing anything possible to escape.

Walk upon the water, holding the minora
A reference to Jewish culture and the power of faith.

Reaching for the tora, face full of torture
Experiencing mental and physical pain seeking spiritual enlightenment.

One deeper than my ora, I stalk ya with the offer
More profound than my spiritual essence, I'm searching for someone to accept what I'm offering.

Law and order, cut your day shorter
A reference to the police force with the power to take away freedom and life.

Slaughter everybody in the party
Acting violently in social situations.

Check the godly, from the cradle to the graves
Reflecting on the existence of deities and their influence on human life.

We hell raise you, break your bread at the table
Living dangerously and breaking bread with those willing to take risks.

With my real Kane and Ables it gets fable
Metaphorically comparing oneself to the characters in the book of Genesis.

We build stables, we drop jewels that enslave you
Creating powerful ideological structures while also enslaving people to these ideas.

Wear the wooden bander, seven shield commander
Possessing a particular title.

Wave the golden banner, swinging down the hammer
Holding a symbolic item of great value and authority.

In the house of David, we gold, true laces
Referencing the history of the lineage of Christ and the power it holds.

Diamond braclets, niggaz on that snake ship
Owning expensive jewelry, but being deceitful and deceptive.

There ain't no love without the hatred
Contrasting love and hate as two sides of the same coin.

The cure for the snakes in the snakepits
The solution for many problems lies within the roots of the issue.

Created and those that's belated
Referring to those who have yet to be born, and those who have already passed on.

It's too much, you fear, must prepare scuba-gear
Things are getting out of hand and it's time to make some major preparations.

Got a ocean of the dry potion, we mind smoking
A metaphor for being inundated with knowledge and processing it mentally.

We blind for the thugs and drug dealers
Refusing to acknowledge the faults of criminals and drug users.

Who used to be pyramid builders, ancient healers
Metaphorically referencing people with great knowledge from the past.

Stand for mirrors, all they see is cap pealers and reflection
Without deep introspection, people only see themselves and their own social status.

Moon do me right, give me night life, let me run in all directions
Metaphorically asking for freedom to roam about as desired.

Worldly impressions, natural infections, massive depression
Externally and internally, people are being affected adversely.

Fantasies is nothing but a fantasy
Fantasies are nothing but a product of imagination.

I see it's all vanity, humanities, who volcanically
All things are temporary and pointless, and humanity is exploding emotionally.

Satanically, on the edge of my sanity, can't we be all family
Being in a state of darkness and wanting to unite as a family.
