Campfire )
Wu-Tang Clan Lyrics

Today I'll talk about kindness
The singer will discuss the importance of kindness

Justice, faith and kindness
These qualities are necessary for being a good person

I want you to listen carefully
The singer desires the listener's full attention

Kindness and faith, are the foundation
These traits are the basis for good behavior and beliefs

Without them, we can't become good people
These traits are essential to being good

And with justice, we know we can lead a good life
Justice is important for living well

And how can I be a good man then, eh?
The singer contemplates what it takes to be a good person

Well, first of all, you have to practice honesty
Honesty is an essential quality for good behavior

Keep your temper, never lose control of yourself
Self-control is necessary for being a good person

Keep control...
Reiteration of the importance of self-control

Be patient, if you learn to do these things, you can master anything
Patience and self-control are important for achieving success

Out of nowhere, there came a caravan
A caravan arrived suddenly

This was around a campfire light
The event took place at a campfire

A lovely woman in motion
A woman arrived who was attractive

Her hair was as dark as the night
Her hair color was black

Cruising on the interstate, just follow while I innovate
The artist is driving and creating something new

Too many try and imitate, medallion like a dinner plate
The artist believes they are being copied and wears a large medallion

Front and get ya dinner ate, chinchilla for the winter, wait
The singer is confrontational and wears a fur coat

I'm trying to bring the "Sexy Back" like Timbaland and Timberlake
The singer is attempting to make something popular again

Spitting like a calico, kush from a Cali hoe
The artist is rapping well and smoking marijuana from California

Tell that joker "tally ho", put shots in that Denali, yo
The artist is telling someone to run away and is threatening them

RZA you know how we go, on them 20's, that's how we roll
The artist and RZA are accustomed to extravagance

And I don't eat berries but eat a Berry like Halle though
The singer does not typically eat berries but will reference actress Halle Berry

The game criminal, my, my chain figaro
The industry is tough and the artist wears a fancy chain

My, my dames pigeon-toed, I'm still the same nigga though
The singer's female companions walk with their toes pointed inward, but the singer's character remains the same

Uh, kid rock a fitted low, still got a wicked flow
The singer is wearing a specific hat and rapping well

And I'm like Barry Bonds on anything that RZA throw
The singer is confident in his abilities when working with RZA

On anything that RZA throw, Ironman's invisible
The artist can handle anything RZA creates and is like a superhero

I left my chick for cheating on me, now that bitch is miserable
The artist ended a relationship due to infidelity and feels as though their ex is unhappy

Popping bottles, painting hella Wallo's on my physical
The singer is celebrating with champagne and has tattoos

We gon' have a ball, might as well pick a testicle
The group will have a good time and take risks

Purple haze festivals, smoke a nigga like a bowl
The group participates in music festivals and smokes marijuana

Fuck a coma, now the state you laying is a vegetable
The artist despises unconsciousness and feels that a person in a vegetative state is experiencing something worse than death

You wanna see me? Like you ain't checkable
The artist is confident and suggests that any opposition is misguided

You like a CD, I burn you and I wrecked a few...
The singer has destroyed some opposing forces

We gotta get more cake together, so we could branch out
The group needs more money to expand their endeavors

Preserve land, get a boat and a ranch house
The group aims to invest in real estate

Call me a dreamer, but I hustle for real
The singer sees potential opportunities and is working hard to achieve them

You thought that I fell off but now I'm attacking the field
Others may have underestimated the singer, but they are now making a comeback

All in Chicago, grinding, putting it down
The artist is working hard and making progress in Chicago

Crush blocks of MC's, I ain't playing around
The artist is dominating the rap game and is serious about it

Yo, you heard me on The Bassment, giving it to 'em
The singer was on a radio show, performing well

Fake dudes hiding they self, but I could see through 'em
The singer can identify those who are insincere

Diggler, what? I'm trying to live and raise kids
The artist has responsibilities as a parent and is doing the best they can

While you throwing up ya sign, I'm laying 'em down, kid
The artist is focused on their work, while others are focused on posturing

Plus, I'm back home now, doing my thing
The artist has returned to their hometown and is succeeding

Thirty dollars to Medina just to cop me a ring
The singer spent a significant amount of money to purchase a piece of jewelry

A good friend, holds his drink
A true friend can handle their alcohol

Bad company makes bad wine!
Negative influences create undesirable outcomes

Drinking among friends
Drinking is an activity enjoyed with companions

Red wine means a good life
Red wine is associated with a pleasant existence

A few drinks bring comfort
Moderate drinking can provide a sense of ease

Two drinks are enough
Excessive drinking is unnecessary

Money can't buy courage
Being brave requires inner strength that cannot be purchased

Riches mean nothing to us
Material wealth is unimportant to the singer and their group

Brilliant, a display of genius
The artist considers the concepts previously discussed to be insightful and intelligent
