U-God was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, New York. However he moved to Staten Island, New York as a youth. He was originally a beatboxer for clan affiliate Cappadonna, as well as being well known friends with future members Method Man, Inspectah Deck, and Raekwon. Sometime before the members united, U-God was mentored in rap by Cappadonna. He soon became friends with RZA and Ghostface Killah, and he began rhyming under the alias Golden Arms, based on the kung-fu movie The Kid with The Golden Arms. Later on narcotics possession prevented him from featuring heavily on the group's debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), his input on the seminal LP consisting of only a short bridge on the group's debut single "Protect Ya Neck" in 1992 as well as the famous opening verse of "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'". Nevertheless, after his release he quickly became known to fans for his rugged flow and bass-like voice on Wu tracks such as "Winter Warz", "Knuckleheadz", "Investigative Reports", and "Black Jesus". He was featured heavily on the group's second album Wu-Tang Forever on which he was one of only four of the group to get a solo track - "Black Shampoo" (While the others being Inspectah Deck with "The City", Ol' Dirty Bastard with "Dog Shit" and RZA with "Sunshower"; clan affiliate and singer Tekitha sang 'Second Coming' solo). Around this time his young son was accidentally shot and injured, an ordeal the rapper documented on the Wu-Tang Clan track "A Better Tomorrow". He appeared with all the clan members during the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors, as well as on tour for the release of Wu Tang Clan's latest album, 8 Diagrams. U-God released his third studio album Dopium in 2009 and touring around the globe in support of 8 Diagrams. He released his fourth studio album Keynote Speaker in 2013.

U-God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you know mans gotta let that beat
Got piz in the German whipping
Live o corn tryna let that sneeze
Who's that
Back that
Grip that
Ching that
Slice that one then leave
Dave no santan
See man hang man
Whip that bag that do it repeat
Bando whipping them zeds
Two grams that's fifty cents
Opp gyal tryna rub my chest
Slow down b cause I know you want sex
I gotta ride in this brand new auto
Takin shots I ain't takin no photo
Move packs gotta think about obbo
Cah you never know when a man's getting followed
Roll in with about five guys
Oh my days
Shits gonna get hefty
Drop bangers all the time with all the right hooks
You know Godson ain’t a lefty
Don’t waist my time
But I might reply
But only If you text me
So don’t ring my line
When I’m out on the grind
Wait do you get me
My demons want me to see red
But I just wanna see bread
Overthinking all of the time
I wish they’ll just leave My head
I don’t regret what I’ve done or said
If I did where would I be
Probably shotting or dead

Got a bad b waiting at home
Well I don't know if I’m making home

The lyrics to U-God's song "Venom" depict a gritty and confident persona, showcasing a streetwise attitude and a desire for success. The opening line, "This ting is a virgin like Mary," serves as a metaphor for the pristine and untouchable nature of the beat, highlighting U-God's intention to deliver an exceptional performance over it. The lyrics mention various activities such as whipping in a German car, dealing with rival gangs, and engaging in sexual encounters.
U-God's lyrics also touch on the theme of self-reflection and the conflict between negative thoughts and a desire for material success. He acknowledges his demons and overthinking tendencies, but at the same time, expresses his determination to focus on making money and not regretting his choices. The lyrics also highlight the loyalty and love U-God has for his partner, referring to her as "Lizzy," and his ambition to provide for them.

I can talk about my fuckin' brothers
Why?
Because they my fuckin' brothers
But don't let me catch you
talking 'bout you gonna hurt one of my fuckin' brothers
or you don't like my brother 'cause of this
That's my family
I'll punch you in your fucking face
Yeah we might not be getting along
Yeah we got issues with each other
Know what I'm saying, regardless of that
We going through hell right now
We going through hell and I'm sitting here
Ain't nobody, I ain't faking it
Know what i'm sayin'?
We going through hell and we tryin' to get it right...
Thugs in the place with the
These women in my face with the
The thing on my waist is the
Up in the place, pour ace
(It's the joint)
My reputation's paramount
Otherwise, air 'em out
Shoot it in hurr, airin' out
Let 'er know I'm headin' out
Conduct my booth business then go back to the lab and wear it out
Cut the pie in two ways
Other half, bail me out
Hear me out, doin' better things
Big cars, heavy chains
Funny what the cheddar brings
Breezin' through the hurricane
Bust through by any means
Squeeze on my enemies
Then skate to the Philippines and watch out for this Guillotine
Jump ship, they spillin' beans
UFOs can affect the cream
Unknowns in drug zones
Everything ain't what it seems
Cutthroats smell gun smoke
Kill you off with one stroke
Zip-lock, quart of coke
Watch out, her water broke
Lord knows how far I'll go
Press hard, charcoal
Black diamond, Frankie Lymon
In a trap, with top ramen
On the charts you see me climbin'
Bars and a beat with perfect timin'
Poke more holes in Puerto Ricans
On the upper tier, I see you leakin'
Thugs in the place with the
These women in my face with the
The thing on my waist is the
Up in the place, pour ace
(It's the joint)
The flashdance in her fancy pants
Breeze through and I catch a glance
Coverin' holes, you lookin' bland
Rough flows, for the fans
In the street you hear, "Blam blam"
Hard shit you can't Shazam
Sun tan in my Raybans
Barbecue that wasteland
Train hard with that waistband
I might make you my wingman
Introduce you to that gangland
Wolf niggas, caveman
El Hawk with the wingspan
I'm a yanks fan
High up in the grandstand
With Horace live from Kingston
Fuck them niggas I can't stand that flimflam
Shakedown for that contraband
Walk tall, you conscious man
Enemy of the state
You call it home, I call it foreign land
I'm goin' bonkers, man
Jumped out that Tonka truck
Wage war, that cop get plucked
That's the one that got me stuck
Boys on the force are so corrupt
Don't fuck with my fam, I'll spill them guts
Pull that thing from under the rug
Crash through your door
Beautiful bust
What nigga, I ain't got no drugs
What nigga, I ain't got no drugs!
Thugs in the place with the
These women in my face with the
The thing on my waist is the
Up in the place, pour ace
(It's the joint)
Thugs in the place with the
These women in my face with the
The thing on my waist is the
Up in the place, pour ace
(It's the joint)
