Son Shine Lyrics by ​dread scott

Basquiat of Bars

2022

[Intro: dread scott & (Sample)]
(Let the sun shine)
(Let the sun shine in) Yeah, yeah
(The sun's shinin') Uh, check it, yeah, uh

[Verse 1: dread scott]
I ran across the sand 'til glass tore up my heels and feet
I learned to be a man by how I feel after defeat
Never feel my victories, only clean and then repeat
Got my threes down to the T, I learned that shit from Kobe
Man, somebody should'a told me this shit would be so lonely
Mostly feeling ghostly, hope we closer to the Holy
Hold it down just like a goalie, move around like a shinobi
Worldly dеmons sink they teeth in, gave us beatings 'til wе Toby
Uh, that's how the world be, the devil get up early
And he never catch a Z, that's why my rollie
Came from digging gold like a nosebleed, that's blood diamonds
For my first love, rhyming, never broke my promise
But she hurt my pockets, every note that I wrote, my momma
I'm so sorry for the dirt, your firstborn was so unpolished
But you couldn't a seen it coming
You ain't no Nostradamus, you ain't no Nostradamus, so just

[Interlude: dread scott & (Sample)]
(Let the sun shine) Yeah, yeah
(Let the sun shine in) You ain't no Nostradamus
How we s'posed to know?
We in the shadow of giants, uh
Let the son shine (The sun's shinin', yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Uh, check it, yeah

[Verse 2: dread scott]
You ain't no nostradomus, I mean, most forgot us
If you saw where my father, got it started, you would be startled
That I even made it through my first quarter of college
I had to scrap for a dollar with half-and-half Arnold Palmers
Life was sweeter when evil leaders and beatings wasn't upon us
To be honest, I wasn't always this violent, a product of Reaganomics
I kept the peace in my pocket, but in my defense, your honor
My dreams of getting even became my reason for being
Weakened, my breathing and my reach to nirvana
I ain't releasing my armor 'til I see peace in Wakanda
Too many reasons to harm us, Black in the hottest of August
Different Salam in my palm, nah, I don't speak Dali Llama and I ain't hiding my hand
I'm underground like them pyramids that lie in the sand
I dodged a scorpion at six, I could died in Sudan
Where the heat'll crack ya egg and get to frying ya pan
It's just a part of the plan, so I

[Intro: (Sample)]
(Let the sun shine)
