“When the sun comes shining through”
[Verse 1: Steele]
Early to rise, I wake way before daybreak
Meditatin' on the steps I take
I realize there’s a lot at stake
So I enterprise while tryna stack papes
But I recognize that it ain’t easy
So I organize with my P.N.C
[Verse 2: Tek and Steele]
From daybreak (Break) to dusk, dawn (Dawn), I stand strong
On my own two, give praises to Jah before
Maneuvering through my steps toward improvements
Meet up with my ese, put him up on the movements
I maintains likes greenbacks and such
We’re gonna make it happen, just the two of us. Huh?!?
[Hook: Steele, Tek, and Foul Play and Heltah Skeltah]
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
[Verse 3: Tek]
I live
The life of an entertainer, stress-bringer
Grams of get-right hides pounds of anger
And worries of success down the line
Living life to the fullest in that space and time
I’m coping with me and my habits
Copping that coke over enhance the cabbage
Timbs all seasons for ass-kicking reasons
Never know when you catch a spy committing treason
[Verse 4: Steele]
I know what you mean, son. I’ve seen some blind
Some deaf, some dumb. Whichever one chooses
To follow the other one loses due to mass
Confusion caused by fast illusion
Showing and proving? It’s not just a phrase that
We’re using—it’s the way of life when you keep it moving
Soon, when you get news, then
You’ll be tuned in to get ready to move in
Position
[Hook: Tek, Steele, and Foul Play and Heltah Skeltah]
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize this
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
[Verse 5: Steele, Tek, and Smif-N-Wessun]
I shine, you shine. In this day and time
We maintain the same frame of mind
Elevation—spark it up, son—yo, start the circu-
-lation, 360 degrees in rotation
Stimulation as an herb let my physical
Creation slip into a hallucination
Situations got me thinking ‘bout my life seri-
-ously, keep it real continuously. Before I
Slip into blackness, I prepare for combat
Protect my dome ‘cause that’s where my home’s at
Crack my windows, inhale as the mist flows
Build up my mental, construct on my physical
Spreading love to my P.N.C.s state-to-state
And heads on lock, holding it down behind the gate. Put some
Scribes in the mail, son, or hit me on the horn. Smif-N-Wessun
Hold it down, we’ll see you when you reach home like…
[Hook: Steele, Tek, and Foul Play and Heltah Skeltah]
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize this
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
All heads realize, wrekonize
Real heads on the rise, wrekonize. You better wrekonize
[Bridge 2: Steele and Tek]
Ha! “All” meaning you
Meaning you. “All” meaning you, meaning you
Each and every individual. Yeah, yeah, each and
Every individual, each and every individual repping. Uh!
“All” meaning each and every individual
Who?—that listen to that
Voice in your head when it be kicking truth (That, that voice in your head)
That voice in your head when it be kicking truth
Yeah. Oh yeah
Smif-N-Wessun progressing
Smif-N-Wessun always progressing
[Outro: Sample from Grover Washington Jr. ft. Bill Withers - “Just the Two of Us”]
“I see the crystal raindrops fall”
“And the beauty of it all”
“Is when the sun comes shining through”

“And the beauty of it all”
