lyrics

[Verse 1]
Brought it to fruition, I’m reminiscing ‘bout simpler days
Its really been a minute since I been high off the haze
I’ve really been a victim, you can tell in my face
They spit in my face, they curse at my race
The race is still on though, roll it up in a Fronto
Leaf, let me leave I ain’t really into all those
Fumes you consume, so I’m out the room pronto
I’m gonzo, out in somewhere you can’t follow
They follow the leader but thats a dying breed
Some rather get lost than lose, rather die than grieve
And I feel it, I don’t - fear my spirit, I don’t hear their lyrics
I know - they not sincere with, what they telling you
Sipping water trying find my way to hidden truths
Its cause of them that we won’t ever get to see our roots
I call that treason, if they really for the people, if they really for the freedom
Why they seem to want to let ‘em lose
And never seem to want to let us loose
Entrapped so often, I started thinking I tied the noose
So little options, so I never had to pick and choose
You not me, so don’t preach ‘bout what I should do

[Chorus]
The sun gon’ shine when it want to
They can’t decide what you won’t do
You live your life, and that’s on you
You live your life, and that’s on you
The sun gon’ shine when it want to
They can’t decide what you won’t do
You live your life, and that’s on you
You live your life, and that’s on you

[Verse 2]
I had to drop it just to pick it
Momma noticed I was different since the sippy cup
Diplomatic in my pampers, who gon’ pick me up?
And pat my back, while acting out because I had enough
Always had an eye for better days
Waiting patiently for Mr. Sun to dry the rain
Some days he never came, I learned to hide the pain
Now I’m twenty something trying not to hydroplane

[Chorus]
The sun gon’ shine when it want to
They can’t decide what you won’t do
You live your life, and that’s on you
You live your life, and that’s on you
The sun gon’ shine when it want to
They can’t decide what you won’t do
You live your life, and that’s on you
You live your life, and that’s on you
