Sunshine Lyrics

Sunshine lyrics



[Intro: Mos Def + (Sample)]

(Let the sun shine)

Yeah yeah its a brand new day y'all (Let the sunshine in)

Turn me up in the top a little bit dog

Little do you know, y'all gonna hear this one (The suns shinin')

Loud and clear, bright and early

Listen..



[Verse 1: Mos Def]

I don't hate players, I don't love the game

I'm the shot clock, way above the game

To be point blank with you motherfuck the game

I got all this work on me, I ain't come for play

You can show the little shorties how you pump and fake

But dog, Not to def, I'm not impressed

I'm not amused, I'm not confused, I'm not to dude

I'm grown man business, and I am not in school

Put your hand down youngin' this is not for you

On my +J.O.+ with beats by Kan-ye yo

My name on the marquee, your name off the payroll

Style fresh, like I'm still a day old

And it's been like that since the day yo

On more time than a Roley, or Seiko

Step on deck, your neck do what I say so

Get up or get out, get down or lay low



[Chorus 1: Mos Def + (Sample)]

(Let the sun shine)

Standing in the shadow of a fabulous man

Brooklyn nigga I am, Black Dante (Let the sunshine in)

That nigga, that dude

Black People, Lets Move (The suns shinin')

Shout out to my man Talib Kweli, yes

We on top-a top-a, shout-a shout-a

Check it out..



[Verse 2: Mos Def + (Sample)]

Slim nigga that casts a big shadow

Cherokee red to shoot the long arrow

Got more skill, more aim, and more ammo

You can get it all from a big or small barrel

Like, hail Mary, full of grace

Niggaz come in and shoot up the place

And make you pull up your face

The deck, I'm a pull out the ace

From the jungles of the empire state

where it ain't no escape, 247, 718

And thats like every night, every day

From the place that I settle and stay

To the states, I'm collecting my pay

Blast off then I'm back to the K

Hold it down so my family straight

Represent in a family way

Pro ball not for amateur play

Been raw since the amateur stage

Before the press had the cameras raised



[Chorus 2: Mos Def + (Sample)]

(Let the sun shine)

Like a long time man of the way

You understanding me straight (Let the sunshine in)

Yes, yes, no doubt, excellence

Its what it is, what it is

And thats what it is, you see? (The suns shinin')

Ha, Fire..



[Verse 3: Mos Def]

'Cause it is deeper, sweeter, richer, crisper

Stronger reception and sharper picture

Revolve around God, and involve with niggaz

These elements I perform my scripture

And make Mos Def a classic modern figure

Brooklyn it don't matter if you holler or whisper

Your coming through clan, 'cause I'm right here wit'cha

Ain't gotta edit the slang, I got it, I'll get ya

Yo, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers

The lovers, the leavers, the doubters, believers

The stayers, the quitters, the bitches, the niggaz

Rebel guerrillas the ghetto civilians

Y'all 'gon feel it from the first to the millionth

It's extra, ordinary and plain

I walk a thousand paces of light ahead of the game

By the time you get where I'm standing, I'll be gone

Y'all make moves, but y'all just move on



[Outro: Mos Def + (Sample)]

(Let the sun shine)

I move in, and y'all must move on

'Cause I move to strong

And I know what my feet move for (Let the sunshine in)

Made it go without a brand new car

Made it fresh without a brand new song

And give a fuck about what brand you are (The suns shining')

I'm concerned what type of man you are

What your principles and standards are

You understand me y'all

Be good to your family y'all

No matter where your families are

'Cause everybody needs family y'all

Raise a hand, you understand me y'all

Everybody needs family y'all

Be good to your families dog

Understand, no matter where your families are

Everybody needs family dog

Raise a hand, you understand me pa

Thats what it is...thats my man

Family and my family Pencil Pete

My man too, all our loved ones behind the walls

All of those who still in the struggle

Masada Malia, Son Dial la, Magic Mel

(Let the sun shine)

Life is real

To all the real soldiers, black people (Let the sunshine in)

We family y'all (The suns shining')

Let it be bright..
