Sunshine (feat. Jill Scott)

I say, hey sunshine

Oh, how the day can be so long?

I say, hey sunshine

Oh, how the day can be so long?

I say, hey

America, you need a miracle, beyond spiritual

I need a realer view, I hold a mirror to it

These ain’t new problems, they just old ways

I see one time turn sunshine into Freddie Gray

Just another **** dead, just another **** dead

Send another to the feds, send another to the feds

Not guilty, still I’m filthy, in FOX's eyes, we the dark side

So they tell you lies, through a TV, CNBC

CNN, Don Lemon, no Kweli when you meet me

In order to be me, you gotta see what Chief Keef see

Brenda’s baby next door to the candy lady

Same project as Candy Man where they still doing hand-in-hands

Sunday to Sunday, pastor only want one day

Grandma praying someday, but God can’t hear it over gun play, woo

Still a target, but the badge is the new noose

Yeah, we all see it, but cellphones ain’t enough proof

(So we still lose) I say, hey sunshine

Oh, how the day can be so long?

I say, hey (Hey) Sunshine (Sunshine)

Oh, how the day can be so long?

I say, hey

I don’t got no march in me, I can’t turn the other cheek

While they testin' your patience, they just testin' my reach

Funeral flowers, every 28 hours, being laid over ours

Sworn to protect and serve, but who really got the power?

Looking over their allowances

Building prisons where the mountains is

Laptops is for the county kids

Metal detectors is where ours is

They’ll never re-write this, like they re-wrote history

The fact that the Statue of Liberty was black is a goddamn mystery

And so it goes, every truth don’t get told

All these cops get cleared, and lives are stole

Every goose don’t lay gold, whoa

Just another **** dead, just another **** dead

Send another to the feds, send another to the feds

They call in the National Guard, Public Enemy, I am Chuck D

Flavor Flav in Louis V, but I’m Huey P, woo

The new elite, it’s either you or me

Let the sunshine, 'cause their dark clouds try to ruin me

It’s more and more and more than Baltimore

From shore to shore, oh Lord

Patience torn, patience gone, oh Lord

Hey sunshine

How the day be so long?

Hey sunshine

How the day
