Sonshine Lyrics

I want you to shine

I want you

Aye, I want you to shine

I want you to shine

Brighter than me

Shine brighter than me

Shine brighter than me

I want you to shine

Aye, son I want you to shine

Son I want you to shine

But not off of the light of the candle

Of ya picture at ya vigil when problems get mishandled

And I know that where you from sometimes it's kill or get cancelled

Lose a peer to a shell or a cell on an annual

Pops in Stateville you ain't never seen him Older brother O.D.ed you ain't never seen him clean

Mama working 3 jobs and she never seem to sleep

Little sister still naive

That's the best thing she could be

Protect her innocence

She been asking why her father ain't been visiting

And why yawl fathers different men

Yawl came up in viscous ends

Uhh, stray bullets and them burglar bars

No heroes they murdered ours

D-boys all turned to stars

Got it soft and then turned it hard, nigga

They was building bridges we was burning ours figures

Couldn't push it no further it's viscous

Just couldn't push it no further dawg but I ain't switching

Want you to shine but not off the light of the temple

At ya service as we think back to when times was so simple

Word on the street is they gone slide to avenge you

As the domino effects of all this violence continues

The state got it down to a science to lynch you

And eventual turn the outside forces against you

Ya mother on the book making post how she miss you

Posting pictures from the nineties never seen you so little

And they say you could've lived from how them bullets had hit you

But the sucka ass police wouldn't let the medics come get you

And once they did they took you cross town not the nearest hospital

In the 815 where niggas live and die by the pistol

Want you to shine son

Aye, I want you to shine son

I want you to shine son
