Sunshine Lyrics by Jesse Markin

Folk

2019

They say life is only as good as you see it

So i proceed to be weeded

Split the proceedings and continue eating

My mama said that I could have this world if i believe it

Me, i'm not that positive to stop competing, i mean it

‘cos not succeeding unacceptable

Would die for freedom, minds are heated

Hearts are freezing, see us getting caught between it

I got my reasons just as good as yours

A lotta reasons needing things from the store

This light is so intriguing

Heading towards it like a fetus

Trying to find the meaning, anything at all

Fall or rise to see it, cos this misery we can't afford

So we wanted more like fuck it, i want it all

I wanna have my cake and then keep it for later on

Everything we saw was everything they had on

You could ask me why and i would tell you just because

They said I wasn't good enough



Sunshine

Day’s long, oh my

Sunshine



Fuel for the fire, muse for desire

I take it higher, turn disgust to admiration

Admire the patience, patiently quiet

Wearing the crown of thorns flyest

They tried to take me out but i'm not buying

I'm just trying to be what i can be

Flying up to the sun, seeking guidance

Feeling the grip loosing as they hanging from my privates

I'm a fighter like my daddy is

So i'm a hold on to this wire

Just come at me like you did Richard Pryor

Treat me like ‘em hungry kids you've seen on em flyers

Doubt me as your neighbor

Then put that same doubt inside my iris

Caught the virus consuming us man, i'm tired

Man, i'm so tired, calm as riot

Like getting ready fo the cyphers

Aiming it higher than any of these vipers

Hissing like a bunch of liars

Telling you that you ain't good enough



Sunshine

Day’s long, oh my

Sunshine



Eat your categories, they really weren't for me

That shit just tend to bore me

I need to get them off me

These beauty standards do not match

Because i'm black as coffee

Box me in this coffin, it's the same old story

Kids growing up thinking they must've been so naughty

“living” off the work you've done

But when it comes to working some

You went and crossed me

So what fuck you want, you feeling salty?

Imagine how i feel, picking off heat

You see a wolf but wasn't ready for me

Though you were asking for it

Basically was begging for the storm

Well, i'll be with you shortly

The fuse is getting shorter

The pressure's growing bigger

I don't wanna be another -

As they call me



Sunshine

Day’s long, oh my

Sunshine
