Wake Up Reprise In The Sunshine Meaning

[[Intro]
Peace to the Gods, Peace Allah
A-yo, there go that brother Grand Puba
I heard that brother got knowledge of self
Yo, true indeed brother
Yo, let’s have that brother come over and add on to the cipher

[Hook]
Sunshine, everybody looks for sunshine
Folks, get down in the sunshine
My life, my life, my life, my life!

[Verse 1: Grand Puba]
A-yo, knowledge this
The attribute Hagi
Helper-to-Another-God-In-need/He-Allah-God-Islam
As I proceed to civilize the uncivilized
Word of wisdom to the groove from the wise (Speak on it, God)
I guess I’m like the Verbalizer for the fact I’m movin’ Blackwards
This Asiatic black man is a ‘dog’ spelled backwards
The maker, the owner, the cream of the planet Earth
Father of civilization, God of the universe
Manifestin’ thoughts with my infinite styles
Makin’ sure this travels twenty-three million miles
The other six I set the crucifix
Because the heart of the problem is this (Speak on it, God)
Preacher got my Old Earth puttin’ money in a pan
For the rest of the week, now I’m eatin’ out a soup can
He has a home, drives his Caddy through town
Has my Old Earth believin’ that he’s comin’ from the ground (Jesus!)
Slain are those who fought for what was right
Slayed are those who fell victim to the pipe
A drug controlled substance contained in a vial
Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles
Good at the game of tricknology
But I have knowledge of myself, you’re not foolin’ me
You see, the answer to me is black unity
Unification, to help our bad situation
I wrote this on the day of Wisdom, Power
All bein’ born to myself (God!)
I won’t diss the next brother to be paid, that’s not my trade
It’s just the plan that is designed by the colored man
Now our babies are born to think this is the way of us (The way of us)
That’s the way the devil wants it, so it is no fuss (It is no fuss)
It’s just that sad old song “Self Destruction” to stop our reproduction
, [Refrain]
They put our Wisdom before us (Murderer!)
That makes it Wisdom, Knowledge (Murderer!)
But we need Knowledge, Wisdom to bring forth the Understanding (Murderer!)
Culture, Freedom (Murderer!)
Power, Refinement (Murderer!)
Equality, God, Build, Destroy, Borns our Cipher (Murderer!)

[Pre-Hook: Grand Pupa & Sincere]
(Can a devil fool a Muslim?) No, not nowadays, bro
(Do you mean to say the devil fooled us four hundred years ago?)
Why-Equal-Self, a trader made an interpretation
Sayin’ that we’d receive more gold for our labor in his nation
(Did we receive more gold?) God, Now-Cipher!
It’s time to drop the bomb and make the devil pay the piper
(True indeed, God, true indeed, God) Why-Equal-Self
(True indeed, God, true indeed, God) Why-Equal-Self
(True indeed, God, true indeed, God) Why-Equal-Self
(True indeed God, true indeed) Why-Equal-Self

[Hook]
Sunshine, everybody looks for sunshine
Folks, get down in the sunshine
My life, my life, my life, my life!

[Verse 2: Grand Puba]
The solution: Knowledge of self to better ourself
‘Cause I know myself, that we can live much better than this
Nothing’s changed, it’s just another sequel
The devil’s still causin’ trouble amongst the righteous people
Drugs in our community (That ain’t right!)
Can’t even get a job (That ain’t right!)
Poisonin’ our babies (That ain’t right!)
Lyin’ who is God (That ain’t right!)
Well, here’s some food for thought
Many fought for the sport, and the black man still comes up short?
It’s time to motivate, build and elevate
Blind, deaf, and dumb; we’ve gotta change their mind state
So I dip-dip-diver, civilize a 85er
Gotta let him know the devil’s a conniver
This is the plan from the brother man from the motherland
Now it’s time to take a stand
I keep strivin’ to do my duty to awake ’em
To the universal family, I say As-salamu Alaykum
, [Outro]
Yeah, now I’mma do like this
‘Nuff respects to the brother Jazzy Jay, ’nuff respect
‘Nuff respects, to my Brand Nubian brothers
Bust it, Lord Jamar, God Allah
Derek X is on the flex
Alamo is good to go
Sincere, the God is in here
So move on, black man, move on
We gotta move on, black man, move on
Move on, black man, move on
We gotta move on, black man, move on
Now, before I motivate, I’mma just say like this
Please-Educate-Allah’s-Children-with-Equality
Move on, black man, move on
You gotta move on, black man, move on]
