Freestyle Fellowship - Sunshine Men lyrics
May I have your attention please The following is a brief introduction to the concept of the sunshine men Keep in mind that all instances that follow are fact and now our anthem Recently I've seen MCs comin' thru While was at home, on my couch, watchin' the b**b tube Fightin' like a rough neck, just to stay loose As I sat and wrote rhymes on a page like mother goose This was the problem, results of a test The heart of all wackness, lies rooted out west Right smack dab inside my civilization The hunt for an MC brings investigation What I mean is basically there's no one Who comes off correct and stands in the sun Of Cal., but here comes the change up in trend The world debut intro to the Sunshine Men [Sunshine, sunshine] [Sunshine, sunshine] [I don't understand] Let me explain this, clearly and plain About the journey of the brothers who missed this train Towards sellout When I profile rhymes go straight out the window We're not like regular bimbos We're sunshine men Just a definition of those in this hot spot who despise the system One composed of an inferior peer group Pollutin' the airwaves and I got the scoop On radio, it's all about your cash flow Pay for airplay, or you fly solo Only one brother can come up off this Those without talents, but big drug profits Rap becomes a tool often used in vain Just like a gun When they want out of the insane lifestyle But they want the insane pay So they pick up a mic, yet they have nothing to say It's a damn shame, cause they form the pack Of those who represent my spot, yet they lack The sk** to get raw with words and cold shoot 'em Stuck in the past, puttin' raps to a drum computer Not even worried that the songs not able Cause they got juice and hook-ups at big labels No unique-ness, no goals or dreams No creativity's exactly how it seems As a sunshine man, with plans and a pen in my hand Recordin' thoughts and beats for the next man Even those who live without a clue I bring the truth to you, it's not new To help my cause, the rise or inflation The incline of western civilization Words to enlighten and to direct Brought to you live and correct From Sunshine Men [I understand] [Sunshine, sunshine] [Sunshine, sunshine] [Sunshine, sunshine] [Some depositions, with a few more useful words] Why in the world is every one down with sunshine? None of them from here, but the attitude's clear They stroll like kings, the big fish in a small stream Too weak to battle so they fled the big apple And they moved out west like old settlers Booty MCs, no rhymes, with a swelled head Aimin' to discover an inactive rhyme zone Just like Columbus, they called here home So they moved in and started a new trend West Coast stars made from East Coast pollution Native MCs never got the game plan So they grabbed the trumpets and hopped in the band But no, not me, neither I, nor D(?) Seeks to shade from sunshine Underneath trees of confusion Because this illusion is grim We choose to stay clear minded As sunshine men [Sunshine, sunshine] [Sunshine, sunshine] [Sit back and recline and watch the sunshine] [Sunshine, sunshine] [Sunshine, sunshine] [Sit back and recline and watch the sunshine]
