Sunshine. Songtext
von Thelonious

I said I do it for
My life, my life, my life, my life, My life
In the sunshine


The measures of the man gon′ be defined by his obstacles
Like through your hardest moments he gon' always keep the table set
I gained that same respect without the numbers or a label cheque
Like we ain′t made it to the majors yet, but filled the plates at home base before I made the step
The Rex gon' spin the classics I done gave the set
But this for all the local trenches by the east end down to Jane and Shepp'
Hustling on the job or pushing product off the dresser
The same common goal to get our peoples out the pressure
I seen it way before the city ran my tapes
When father led my hand ′til I demanded space
And let him know I′m headed for the hills without the handle breaks
The shadows of my younger soul that never seemed to stand in place
Back then we never gave our dreams no revising
When summers came the kids without the means know to dive in
But now they got machines and never seen no horizon
Blooming glued to screens so they seem slow to rising, I
Learned through muddy waters over rivers and ravines lives the lows, and may those roads lead to rainbows
And everlasting paradise that came slow
After all your sorrows it won't never seem the same so
Charge it to the game that let a nigga tell the stories of my pain and plights
Written on the pages when the scripts ain′t had no saviour types
While devils sold they fantasies to dreamers screaming "name your price"
Guarantee my greatness in this world I would have paid it twice
But since I got my own voice I do it for

My life, my life, my life, my life, my life
In the sunshine
My life, my life, my life, my life, my life
In the sunshine
I said I do it for
Your life, they life, we all still living that life
In the sunshine
Still living that life
In the sunshine, in the sunshine
