Black Thought - In the Sun lyrics

[Common] I spit feelings that soar over brick buildings And get children and families to live better Live whether rain or shine Picture Com' free, is my frame of mind My day combines from comedic to the gate of minds Tastin' my favorite wine, trying to stay divine Realness around my neck, is my way to shine I ain't made for time or age My mind's a page that few can read Made for you to breathe through the seeds I plant Tear down Babylon, rebel missions The hustler traditions carry on since Avalon Park days I battle long and spark days Being the son that I am, got gramps offered ham for lint She gave me the scriptures, told me to understand it It's bug from my own planet I can see the sun Waitin for the savior while I wait for me to come I'm comin in the... [Hook: Joi x2] Rain, rain, go away I need ya sometime but not today I wanna live, play, run, in the suuuuun! [Black Thought] The language is mine, I take advantage of that I'm like the ghetto thug B-Boys, Brittanica black I gotta style that man-handle the track Thought, Common, and Shaq, yo couldn't hold the animal back Me, I been all emcee since like '73 In South Philly with the 'fridgerator empty I know the feeling of the whole world against me I know the feeling of the game tryna pimp me, for real It never break me, or make me move the thing off safety While I maintain control Rather process the info than swallow it whole You never bothered breakin the mold, you out in the cold Trustin in a fake n***a cuz he act and joke Stead of dealin with the ac-tual Yo, too many hard times, detour signs, and tears And the police stay livin in constant fear Another gunfight, where? In the sunlight [Hook: Joi x2] [Shaquille] It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine Now I reign supreme, sunshine hit the bling Life; seen some of the strangest things Fake n***as and women, they tryna hit me for my cream I touch a soul with this vision I love to go back and re-live it cuz it seems so vivid Before the money, and the fame, and the stardom Before you schemed on Diesel, like what it cost em Original, never ask where the style's from And what about the haterz, that doubted the album You didn't think B.I.G. could do it again I'm top fifty with a ring, see I do it to win... (Heheh) Now my name back on the streets Name back in the jeeps Can't tame my platinum speech Ain't nuttin like being young and content I'm comfortable with life, never worry where them chips is spent Stop askin me about Kob'! Y'all heard me say Twiz before, you seen the way I clutch the globe Yo y'all n***as ain't forget; the world is mine I'm from the New Jeru's Brick City - and that's my sunshine [Hook: Joi x2]
