Prior to becoming affiliated with the Wu-Tang Clan, Sunz were known as Da Last Future and included rappers Shabazz The Disciple and 7th Ambassador, along with producer Supreme. 7th Ambassador retired before the group's Wu-affiliated days really got started, and soon before the release of their debut album The Last Shall Be First in 1998 both Killah Priest and Shabazz began to clash with Wu leader RZA, both eventually effectively cutting their Wu ties and leaving the group for solo careers. Supreme was kicked out of the group in late 2000, when it was discovered he had been heavily bootlegging the group's music, including leaking a whole album titled The First Testament. Killah Priest, who was absent from the recording of the group's second album proper Saviorz Day in 2002, has began to rediscover his Wu-Tang ties and is expected to work with the group again soon, while Shabazz made his official return to Sunz Of Man in early 2003.

Sunz of Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just bounce and bounce and keep bouncin'
Just bounce and bounce and keep bouncin'
Just bounce and bounce and keep bouncin'
(GG'z, Hell Razah, all the world
We gon' hold it strong, holdin' ya head
Listenin' to ya shit, now listen to our shit)
(+Bop Ya Head+ and bop ya feet to this shit right here)
Staight up, +Bop Ya Head+, bop ya feet
[Chorus: x2]
Ain't no shame in our game, +What We Came To Do+
Ya be actin' like we get paid for you
You want war?, bring it on, it's the same for you
You better warn them niggas that came wit you
They don't wanna die, better stay away from you
You don't like me, shit, I don't like you too
I'm a GG, you heard, go and spread the word
If you been shot by us, then that's what ya deserve
We stay ghetto, not suburb, dress superb
Keep birds in the cage wit they pussy desert
You can catch me in the back of a Cad'
Gat in the bag, black doo-rag
Me and 7th and Baghdad
Drinkin' our drinks, faces like Sphinx
Makin' ya link, and loop wit our links
The black banker, chain that hang like an anchor
Who dare wanna step in the rise of my chamber
22?, seen things that money do
Be careful 'cause the hustle you do can hustle you
The cats that be comin' to you, could split a crew
For example: that's why I can fuck wit GG'z
Through example: and still make sure we see cheese
Got ya girlfriend neckin' and smokin' my weed
Only God up above supplyin' my needs, die for my seed
Ride for my g, the rest of ya niggas to me is thieves
Freeze, music 'Preme
[Chorus]
I'm a classic, the +Shining Star+, ya head nod
To the A&R, baggin' ya bitch wit no car
I swing like monkey bars, ask ya moms
Who the best since welfare checks and Malcolm X?
I rep that Red Hook shit, my projects
We ain't dead yet, I just begun to progress
I go out for a GG, like Hitler did for a Nazi
Autopsy ya whole posse, seen rich niggas cop pleads
Back when we use to rock leaves, Ghetto Government the monarchy
Crush weed that be green broccoli
Makin' ya forget where ya car key, the real Jewish of a Dark Sea
'89 rock Biz Markie, beneton, wit the matchin wallabie
Take the head of a nominee, nominated for wack mc's
Ya be better off doin' comedy, bow down and honor me
It be the agony that make me knock off the faculty
Rap-pily, each bullet claim one casualty
Freeze, music 'Preme
[Chorus: x2]
Yeah, GG'z, Hell Razah
Represent to the fullest, number one to the fullest
Straight up, Fortune 5000, Ghetto Government
The song "What We Came to Do" by Sunz of Man is a defiant statement about the group's purpose and intent as rappers. The chorus announces their refusal to compromise their style or get caught up in the materialistic side of the music industry, declaring "Ain't no shame in our game, +What We Came To Do+ / Ya be actin' like we get paid for you / You want war?, bring it on, it's the same for you." The verses by GG'z and Hell Razah follow suit, boasting about their street credibility and pledging allegiance to their distinctively gritty, non-suburban lifestyle. The lyrics reference everything from Cadillac cars to Muslim leader Malcolm X to the risks and rewards of the hustle, all while maintaining a tough, urgent flow that reflects their determination to succeed.
Overall, "What We Came to Do" is a declaration of independence from the dominant themes and sounds of mainstream hip-hop, and a celebration of the raw, unvarnished reality that GG'z and Hell Razah embrace. They are proud to be outsiders and rebels, and they are not afraid to call out their critics or competitors. In essence, this song is a powerful declaration of purpose that speaks to anyone who has ever been marginalized, overlooked, or underestimated.
