Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, heh, may the optimism of tomorrow
Be your foundation for today
Let's get it
[Verse 2]
Spotlight on my face, 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
Spotlight on my face, sunshine, I can't tell a lie
I can't lie, I feel quite phenomenal today, baby, yeah
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
That new black soul shit (It's that new black soul)
Yeah, that new black soul
Uh, uh, yeah, bounce, bounce
It's so soulful at the moment, right?
Look
[Verse 3]
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
'Fore I love a industry girl, I'll marry civilian
Picture a young, rich former taking me serious
Although I hit my stride, ain't even in prime
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 dropped, now I'm stuntin' on 'em
You better know that you overdue for some better endin's
That's to whoever develops second-guessin' they blessin's
Ralph
[Verse 4]
Spotlight on my face, 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
I just need you to vibe with me real quick
Spotlight on my face, and sunshine, I can't tell a lie
Came from nothin'
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
We here now, right? Let's get it
[Verse 5]
Yeah, yeah, let me say about the girl, uh-huh
Every day, not forget, let me tell ya 'bout the
Uh, back on my shit
Let me tell you 'bout the, let me tell you 'bout the girl, yeah
[Verse 6]
I don't like to boast, but they ain't touchin' the flow
Fuckin' therapy, so put everything in this cone
My only fear in marriage, she scared of bein' alone
She settle for this bread so there'd just 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 **** recordin'
Makes hoes sprint the forty
See me, I thought money would change it, it got worse
But it's a lot better than screamin', who got work?
From openin' for Back to packin' out 9:30
I never sold crack when crack rappin' was workin'
With that fact, it's backpackin' and murkin'
Gettin' that Bobby Heenan while you Mr. Perfect
[Verse 7]
Spotlight on my face, sunshine, I can't tell a lie
For Lon and Jameson
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
Yeah, if you ain't bouncin' there's somethin' wrong with you
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
Spotlight on my face, and sunshine, I can't tell a lie
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
I told you it's that new black soul, my ****
Want me to say what they just wanna hear now
[Verse 8]
Tell you 'bout the gift
I'ma tell you 'bout the gift, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Tell you 'bout the gift
This dedicated to my nephew, Tommy
Rest in peace, bro
Love
Shine on us, cuzzo
[Verse 9]
We ain't 'posed to never, uh
We ain't 'posed to never, uh
We ain't 'posed to never
****, we ain't 'posed to never
Yeah, we ain't 'posed to never, hey
We ain't 'posed to never, uh
We ain't 'posed to never
We ain't 'posed to never
