Pusha T, Jill Scott - Sunshine lyrics
[Pusha T, Jill Scott - Sunshine lyrics]
I say hey sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long
I say hey sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long
America, you need a miracle beyond spiritual
I need a realer view i hold a mirror to it
These ain’t new problems, they just old ways
I see one time turn
Sunshine into Freddie Gray
Just another nigga dead
Just another nigga dead
Send another to the FEDs
Send another to the FEDs
Not guilty, still I’m filthy
In FOX eyes, we the dark side
So they tell you lies through a TV, C-N-B-C
C-N-N, Don Lemon, no Kweli when you meet me
In order to be me
You gotta see what Chief Keef see
Brenda’s baby next door to the candy lady
Same project as Candy Man where
They still doing hand-in hands
Sunday to Sunday, pastor only want one day
Grandma praying someday
But God can’t hear it over gun play
Woo! Still a target
But the badge is the new noose
Yeah, we all see it
But cellphones ain’t enough proof
So we still lose i say hey sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long
I say hey sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long
I don’t got no march in me
I can’t turn the other cheek
While they testing your patience
They just testing my reach
Funeral flowers, every 28 hours
Being laid over ours
Sworn to protect and serve
But who really got the power?
Looking over their allowances
Building prisons where the mountains is
Laptops is for the county kids
Metal detectors is where ours is
They’ll never re-write this
Like they re-wrote history
The fact that the Statue of Liberty
Was black is a goddamn mystery
And so it goes, every truth don’t get told
All these cops get cleared
And lives are stole
Every goose don’t lay gold whoa
Just another nigga dead
Just another nigga dead
Send another to the FEDs
Send another to the FEDs
They call in the National Guard
Public Enemy, I am Chuck D
Flavor Flav in Louis V, but I’m Huey P
Woo! The new elite, it’s either you or me
Let the sunshine
Cause their dark clouds try to ruin me
It’s more and more and more than Baltimore
From shore to shore, oh lord
Patience torn, patience gone, oh lord
I say hey sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long
I say hey sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long
Oh how the day can be so long
I say hey sunshine
Oh how the day can be so long
America, you need a miracle beyond spiritual
I need a realer view i hold a mirror to it
These ain’t new problems, they just old ways
I see one time turn
Sunshine into Freddie Gray
Just another nigga dead
Just another nigga dead
Send another to the FEDs
Send another to the FEDs
Not guilty, still I’m filthy
In FOX eyes, we the dark side
So they tell you lies through a TV, C-N-B-C
C-N-N, Don Lemon, no Kweli when you meet me
