To feed the ones you hold so dear Somebody dying, and no survive, story of my life right, hey Look at me, really look at me Heart of a champion, eyes that have seen Murder on my street, d**h on my block Cops that be more criminal than cop Daddy a kingpin, mama a hustler What am I gon' be? Who is it up to? Me and just me, doing it my way 'Til I see sunrays, hey [Chorus: Jussie Smollett] The sun will always shine, sun will always shine Sun will always shine on me So even if it's crime, I'm taking care of mine The sun will always shine on me, shine on me [Verse 2: Bre-Z] I see 1 shot, 2 shot, 3 shot, 4 Daddy I can't take no more I'm sick of watching windows 'fore I walk out the door I know that's not what I'm here for, it's a brighter day These bars sit with the Lord, he know my story I'mma tell it all and live large before I'm 40 Frank Gathers, this your daughter, everybody know I could light this spliff but everybody blow it The impact, I did that I'mma take this and sit back And watch the chips that you digged at We started from the bottom, you gotta know the sun is always shining [Chorus: Jussie Smollett] The sun will always shine, sun will always shine Sun will always shine on me So even if it's crime, I'm taking care of mine The sun will always shine on me, shine on me [Bridge: Jussie Smollett & Bre-Z] Sun will always shine on me, yeah, sun will always shine on me It's merciless the grind, sometimes you turn to crime But you gotta keep your head up Don't look down, don't ever give up Cause the sun gon' shine through any weather It's merciless the grind, sometimes you turn to crime But baby keep your head up Don't look down, don't ever give up Cause the sun gon' shine through any weather [Chorus: Jussie Smollett] So even if it's crime, I'm taking care of mine So the sun will always shine on me, shine on me The sun will always shine, sun will always shine Sun will always shine on me So even if it's crime, I'm taking care of mine The sun will always shine on me, shine on me
