Rza Under The Sun

Way back in 1998, RZA released Bobby Digital In Stereo, his debut studio album that featured him rapping as an alter-ego named Bobby Digital. The album was a success, becoming certified Gold and receiving positive reviews. Now, RZA is returning to his Digital persona with an upcoming project, RZA Presents: Bobby Digital and The Pit of Snakes, which is set to release July 22. The album will be accompanied by a graphic novel about the character, written by RZA, Vasilis Lolos, and Ryan O’Sullivan.

RZA’s already dropped one single off the project, “We Push,” and now he’s given us the opening track, “Under The Sun.” RZA has described Pit of Snakes as a “soundtrack” to the forthcoming graphic novel, and “Under The Sun” certainly fits that description. The instrumental is evocative of an Ennio Morricone Western score, made up of a lonesome picked guitar and sparse bongo percussion which open up into an expansive and operatic chorus. RZA’s lyrics are similarly cinematic, detailing his character’s long journey. “He traveled across waters many oceans, rivers, and lakes, slept in the desert amongst the pit full of snakes,” he begins.

RZA – Under The Sun (prod. RZA)

Lyrics

He traveled across waters many oceans, rivers, and lakes
Slept in the desert amongst the pit full of snakes
(Sssssss)
Slap boxing wit kangaroos
Runnin wit the wolves
He ran so much with the wolves you’ll think his foot had hooves
Slept in a bed of wool, stuffed inside his pillow
Spent his days counting flowers and pedals upon the willows

One day he knew
That his time would come
Where he would stroll to the flutes and then march to the drums
(Ttttttttssss)

Bend air like the air bender
Pull strings like on rare fenders
Laying in beds, made of egyptian silk and rare timber
Horses in the stable, exotic sources on his table
Voice blastin through it on the air waves, face gracin on the cable

Signal strictly digital
The epitome
Sword swinging ninja, whose blades had a tendency
To exact revenge on the enemy, while still upholding chivalry

Bobby bobby bobby
Digi digi digi
Mind spirit body
Space odyssey trilogy
Armed with a swarming army of wu-tang killa bees

He transformed to take the form of technological facilities
This is just a fraction of his abilities

A digital soliloquy

Under the sun
We are all one
Striving for survival
Under the sun
We see the world grow, change, and decay
Under the laws where we love and we live together
Under the sun
Where we all share and come as
Under
Under
Under the sun
Under the sun
Under
Under
Under the sun
Where it is done
Under the sun…

Sirens scream through the city
From the ambulance
Blow my thun, had the snow
Flowin like an avalanche
Breaking branches of green
Every chance he got
Sword swing, like that old king from camelot
Voice like paul robeson
Wit a may weather robe on
Multicolored diamonds in a cup
Look like they were snow cones
Bed with sexy leg red bones, who had fancy threads on
Clue like nancy drew mystery
Sub-planting the feds phones
Confused detectives with radioactive methods
Attack the shack wit a pack of black german shepard’s
Learned the dim mak touch
Death touch wit his cock
He slept wit his dick inside a 12-inch sock
Descendants of ancestral greatness
Uphold the whole universes since space is weightless
The y chromosome is the answer to the question
Who is the greatest?
25-thousand-year renewal of history
Who is the latest?

This is Bobby Digital and the pit full of snakes
