When The Sun Don't Shine

When the sun don't shine

And the day goes by

When the lights go out

And your tears don't dry

When the sun don't shine

And you're tumblin' down

I will open up the sky

Yeah

Father, I gotta confess

Woke up this morning, I'm blessed

Remember my life was a mess

I got the need to address that

I've been a sinner before

I cannot take it no more

Ride every high being broke

Smokin' and cookin' that shit, they don't like it

But if they don't like it, I go

Money on trees doesn't grow

Neither can freedom be bought

I'm runnin' the power to float

Father, I need your advice

Stop me, not rollin' the dice

Wanna treat everyone nice

Why they keep throwing the knives then?

Why is it takin' so long?

You know my Nikes are worn

My momma, she probably knows

I've been not smokin' it

Smokin' and cookin' that shit

Laughin' my troubles away

My heart is weak but it's free

They don't got nothin' on me

When the sun don't shine

And the day goes by

When the lights go out

And your tears don't dry

When the sun don't shine

And you're tumblin' down

I will open up the sky

Yeah

Father, I know it feels right

Puttin' my ego aside

You need to be more precise

How do I follow the light when

I don't know nothin' 'bout me?

Wanna do what I prefer

Everyone's rollin' their eyes

When I don't care about the things that I like, yeah

Why are you wastin' your time?

Why do you dream like a child?

What are you doin' it for?

You don't know nothin' 'bout work

Tell a lie, "Need no advice"

They be like, "What a surprise"

I know the sun will arise

Up, and not tellin' no lies, no

Fater, I do what I love

One hundred down to the core

Forgive me for not being sure

You know I've been here before

(Standing on the roof, below the stars)

When the sun don't shine

And the day goes by

When the lights go out

And your tears don't dry

When the sun don't shine

And you're tumblin' down

I will open up the sky

Yeah
