[00:00.00]Sunshine (Explicit) - Coolio
[00:26.46]Imagine looking at life through rose-tinted glasses
[00:29.17]And the policy of the people is passive
[00:30.85]And all the women got fat asses
[00:32.79]And all the homies got dubs and deeds to spend
[00:36.03]And when the po-po's pass they wave and say hi
[00:38.29]And wear a grin (hey)
[00:39.43]And everybody that you meet is a potential friend
[00:42.00]And the women in your life love you
[00:43.39]For yourself and not your ends
[00:45.63]And the population's real so there's no reason to pretend
[00:48.32]And ignore we are the same
[00:49.75]So no one hates you for the colour of your skin
[00:51.81]And every waking thought is one of peace and harmony and bliss
[00:54.46]That simple satisfaction like a plate of eggs and grits
[00:58.36]Senses fully alive like the feeling of a first kiss
[01:01.17]And when it's check out time you got a smile on your lips huh
[01:04.73]And the whole world is like a next-door neighbour
[01:07.87]Quick to do you a favour even though
[01:09.22]We come in a million different flavours
[01:10.96]And I know there's not enough time to put it all in one rhyme
[01:14.00]So I savour the flavour
[01:15.23]And sweet taste I feel from the rays of the
[01:17.65]Sunshine
[01:22.89]I'm sittin in the sunshine
[01:25.15]The sunshine like the world was mine the sunshine
[01:30.20]I'm walkin in the sunshine
[01:37.43]The sunshine like the world was mine the sunshine
[01:42.72]If love was a flower I'd spread the petals
[01:45.02]About the planet And plant seeds
[01:46.45]Throughout every city and country
[01:47.84]Even in those who do not want me
[01:49.40]I try to make some sense of the situation that we call life
[01:52.24]Some verbal illustration to help ease this strife
[01:55.88]Some lyrical penetration to try to make things right
[01:58.42]In hopes that
[01:59.29]What I'm saying can saturate your mindframe
[02:02.14]And help you with the pain
[02:03.39]And the strain of the everyday struggle
[02:05.82]I don't need it all I wanna see all y'all bubble
[02:08.34]And rise to the top then prove to be hard like a rock
[02:11.71]Cos you know it don't stop unless we let it all stop
[02:14.50]So when you face to face with adversity just curse him C
[02:18.21]And look him in the eye and let him know
[02:20.18]That he can't hurt a G
[02:21.34]And that you willin' ta risk it all
[02:22.90]For the things of people that you believe in
[02:24.62]So educate yourself in order to assess your achievements
[02:28.13]And if I had to explain this realer
[02:29.40]So you could see it in your mind
[02:32.13]I guess it's kinda like sunshine
[02:34.37]I'm sittin in the sunshine
[02:41.58]The sunshine like the world was mine the sunshine
[02:46.94]I'm walkin in the sunshine
[02:54.45]The sunshine like the world was mine the sunshine
[02:59.90]Before I continue let me make one thing clear
[03:02.59]Took me a while but there's three things
[03:04.15]I learned to put before my self and career
[03:06.16]God family and my fans
[03:07.66]I wish that I could hold your hand
[03:09.37]And be like Moses part the Red Sea
[03:10.84]And lead you to the promised land
[03:12.34]Our demons blazin and it feels amazin
[03:15.53]I can lay here till I'm old and grey
[03:17.43]And shrivelled like a raisin
[03:18.70]Throughout the years 'n months 'n days
[03:20.19]When life used to pass by in a daze
[03:21.96]And I was posted simply gettin faded just waitin
[03:24.50]Livin life with the eye for nothing but cold steel
[03:26.54]Fast cash and hot payment
[03:28.40]Impatient to be a baller and roll a SS on Daytons
[03:31.61]And now I'm here and I promise to get my whole soul
[03:33.81]Mind body and spirit
[03:34.79]And try to lift every voice and rhyme loud as hell
[03:36.74]So all y'all can hear it
[03:38.08]And still remember the words from that old hip-hop spiritual
[03:41.19]I'm livin in a Gangsta Paradise and I hope y'all remember too
[03:44.25]And even though it's west coast eastside Compton on mine
[03:47.15]It's ok 'cos I don't mind if you share some of my sunshine
[03:50.72]I'm sittin in the sunshine
[03:58.43]The sunshine like the world was mine the sunshine
[04:03.11]I'm walkin in the sunshine
[04:11.93]The sunshine like the world was mine the sunshine
[04:16.22]I'm sittin in the sunshine
[04:24.04]The sunshine like the world was mine the sunshine
[04:28.88]I'm walkin in the sunshine
[04:37.38]The sunshine like the world was mine the sunshine
[04:41.83]I'm diyin before they take away my sunshine
[04:50.99]I ain't lyin (sunshine)
[04:54.54]I'll be diyin before they take away my sunshine
[05:04.00]And I ain't lyin (sunshine)
