Sunshine Lyrics by Wale

The Gifted

2013

[Intro]
May the optimism of tomorrow be your foundation for today

[Chorus]
The spotlight on my fans
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

[Interlude]
I can't lie I feel quite phenomenal today, baby
That new black soul

[Verse 1]
I was in the business when you was chasin' the bitches
Now I got the dollars, I'm tryin' get my position
Couple bad decisions, I got some character issues
Although I'm never slippin' like student parent permission
Yes, I am aware that America tryna get me
So I let my friends carry paraphernalia
Before I love a industry girl, I'll marry civilian
Picture a young, rich woman taking me serious
Although I hit my stride, ain't even in my prime (nah)
Singles in the chart make a broad lose top these days
You ain't gotta do nothin' to pop these days
Instagram is runnin' they thoughts these days
62 joint, got me Doug-in on 'em
Humbled, got my ass dropped, now I'm stuntin' on 'em
You better know that you overdue for some better endings
That's who whoever develop second-guessing they blessing
Ralph...

[Chorus]
The spotlight on my fans
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

[Interlude]
I just need you to vibe with me real quick
We came from nothin'

[Verse 2]
I don't like to boast, but they ain't touchin' the flow (nope)
Fuck a therapist, I put everything in this cone
My only fear is marriage, she scared of bein' alone
She settle for this bread so therein should be a trophy
I'ma prolly marry somebody already familiar
VH1 10, I'm not thinkin' about these bitches
Can do without opinions
Another brother caught up in the business
Had that lock since I lost my scholarship
I been gettin' it to my old coach and ballin'
Rose gold was forty, dopest nigga recordin'
Make hoes sprint the 40
See me, I thought money would change it, it got worse
But it's a lot better than screamin' "who got work?" (who got work?)
From opening up for Back to packing out 9:30
I never sold crack when crack rappin' was workin'
With that fact, it's back packin' and murkin'
Gettin' that Bobby Heenan while you Mr. Perfect

[Chorus]
The spotlight on my fans
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

[Outro]
Folarin the Genius
I told you this that new black soul
We ain't posed to never ha-
We ain't posed to never have
