Life in the Sunshine…
Song: Life in the Sunshine
Written by Atiim
Chenzira
Verse 1:
Living life in
the sunshine, in the one time I’m blessed to be.
I have dramas
and problems, but I’m basically free.
I have a gang of
hommies locked down or dead and gone.
So I have to
keep my head up and keep doing it strong.
Going against
all odds through pit falls and fires.
Through hell and
high waters.
Facing fears and
desires.
Taking leaps of
faith and watching every step.
Letting go of
control because it can’t be kept.
Staying on my
P’s & Q’s with my eyes wide open.
And I’m ready
for whatever cause I’m straight out of Oakland.
Everyday I say a
prayer to the Lord.
Giving it up.
When I was down
and out… Not giving a fuck.
Ready to die for
whatever with my pride and rage.
The sunlight
came down and helped me flip a page.
Footsteps on the
sand of time.
Life’s a beach.
So many loved
ones detoured and couldn’t be reached.
Everybody has a
journey and a life to live.
And story to be
told,
So, y’all here
it is…
Chorus:
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Verse 2:
I went to school
without a dollar to spend,
And wont pretend
that makes me better.
Yall, I barely
got in.
I was exposed to
a whole nother’ level of thought.
Many obstacles
tried to stop me, but I didn’t get caught.
I stayed close
to a few G’s doing it live.
And learned a
few tricks to keep me on the road to survive.
I couldn’t bow
down… I don’t know how now.
I had a gang of
help.
Young sisters
and brothers pulled together for some shell….ter from a cold world.
What I learned
is important.
We can’t make it
alone.
So I learned to
stop flirting…with zip lipped tendencies.
Closed mouths
just starve.
I had to stop
thinking local and view the world at large.
My hommie Preach
said, “Oaktown” it’s all a plantation.
I had to channel
my energies and deal with frustrations.
Learn to
communicate clearly and listen to grow.
I came out of
the dark…
Just to let you
all know…
Chorus:
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Chorus B:
The sunshine is
my shine
Is your shine
Is our shine
It’s your time
So let your
light shine.
In the sunshine
the one time, haters, and hoes
Want to take all
that you’ve earned,
But they just
don’t know.
You can’t steal
light shining from the heavens above.
You get what
your dealt and if you give it,
yall give it in
love.
Chorus:
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
Life in the Sunshine…
Shine your light
down on me.
