Uh, haha
May the optimism of tomorrow
Be your foundation for today
Let's get it
Sunshine, I can't tell a lie
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
I can't lie, I feel quite phenomenal today baby, yeah
Sunshine, I can't tell a lie
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
Haha, that new black soul shit, let's go
This that new black soul, haha, yeah
That new black soul
Uh, uh, yeah, bounce, bounce
It's so soulful at the moment, right?
Just happy to be a part of it
Born to be poor, chose to be rich
Black Panther party, nigga hold up your fist
Food on my plate, gold on my neck
Nigga lace up your sneakers and go and get some respect
Cover my body with ink, I never cherish the flesh
And buy a funeral home 'cause niggas bury the best
Which I'm sad to say, but did you graduate?
Debating Ivy League over the UCLAs
I struggled at math, therefore perfected my craft
In the back of my mind, I said establish your staff
Right or wrong, niggas make mistakes
You shed your tears and then you wiped your face
You hold your head to the sky, you put your face in the light
Makaveli the Don, I pray I make it tonight
They never said that the odds were fair
Now we standing in line for that ObamaCare
Pray for a better day, bring my brother home
Nigga murdered a child, what the fuck you was on?
I just wanna let my top down
But I'm still running from that dark cloud
They got me praying for some sunshine
You got me praying for that sunshine
And I'm praying for a better day
I'm just praying for a better day
Tell you 'bout the gift
I'ma tell you 'bout the gift
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Tell you 'bout the gift
This dedicated to my nephew
I drink a Cabernet, think of better days
Rock 'til my beard is gray like Frank Bev and Maze
In this maze, they called us the black rats
'Cause we trapped from the projects we stacked at
Hoping I reach 21, nigga, blackjack
Black strap molasses in the backpack
Dreaming of the pussy that I slept on, cat nap
Moonwalk like Mike Jack but never backtrack
I hold the MAC that them Panthers in the black hats used to hold
The Kendrick Lamar Odom 'cause I lose control
When it come to dope raps, yeah nigga, you can quote that
Used to hold back like a masseuse
The fruits of my labor is to produce
On Netflix watching Juice
I wanna 2Pac the people
That mean keep 'em regal, at the same time lethal
We do
Sunshine, I can't tell a lie
Yeah, if you ain't bouncing to this
Then there's something wrong with you
Sunshine, I can't tell a lie
I told you, this that new black soul, my nigga
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
Yeah, yeah, let me tell you 'bout the gift
Uh-huh, haha, every day not forget
Let me tell you 'bout the, uh, back on my shit
Let me tell you 'bout the, let me tell you 'bout the gift
Yeah, look
I don't like to boast but they ain't touching the flow
Fuck a therapist, I put everything in this cone
My only fear is marriage, she scared of being alone
She settle for this bread, sit there and just be a trophy
I'ma probably marry somebody already familiar
VH1 tandem but thinking about these bitches
Can do without opinions, another brother caught up in the business
Had it locked since I lost my scholarship
I been getting it to my old coach, I'm balling
Rose gold was 40
Dopest nigga recording make hoes sprint the 40
To me, I thought money would change it, it got worse
But it's a lot better than screaming, "Who got work?"
From opening for Bak to packing out 9:30
I never sold crack when crack rapping was working
With that fact, it's backpacking and murking
Getting that Bobby Heenan while you Mr. Perfect
We ain't 'posed to never
We ain't 'posed to never
We ain't 'posed to never
Nigga, we ain't 'posed to never
Yeah, we ain't 'posed to never, ha
We ain't 'posed to never, uh
We ain't 'posed to never
We ain't 'posed to never
