Sunshine

Let's all bow our heads and pray
For the serenity to accept the things we cannot change
The courage
To change the things we cannot accept
And the wisdom
That we can know the difference

Try to pray for sunshine
But it's just another cloudy day
"Same toilet"
You know how they say
We just try'n to get by
'Course we got a dream
Windows down, maybe catch the breeze
No wonder why we stay fly
When you busy payin' dues
And you feel that you ain't got no more to lose
Well, baby boy it takes time
But I ain't got no more to waste
For that money
I'ma do just what it takes

Always I knew that I'm great
Problem is where I'm from you don't just make
It out the hood
Without gettin' some hate
I'm from the bottom so you
Could relate, huh
The usual fate
Of anybody in my hood was a bad one
I used to hate on my pops
Then I realized people ain't have one
The numbers are staggerin'
Either we drinkin' or chasin' the dragon
I ain't imagining anything crazy
You don't believe me well you could just ask 'em
And they'll tell you
I'm destined to make it since birth
I just handle the words
I let the chorus go take 'em to church

Try to pray for sunshine
But it's just another cloudy day
"Same toilet"
You know how they say
We just try'n to get by
'Course we got a dream
Windows down, maybe catch the breeze man
No wonder why we stay fly
When you busy paying dues
And you feel that you ain't got no more to lose
Well, baby boy it takes time
I ain't got no more to waste
For that money
I'ma do just what it takes

They don't know where I come from
Half of my haters be makin' assumptions
I watch my step 'n just roll with the punches
Then wrap 'em up as I make 'em my lunches, huh
You could say there's a chip
On my shoulder, man I got an attitude
But when it comes to crunch time
I always did what I have to do
Whether sunshine or the rain
Whether unsigned or acclaimed
While this blood line's in my veins
I'll never let Big Pun die in vain, huh!
Thats enough
To make me give it all that I got
I put in the work
But I'm also the one who be callin' the shots

Try to pray for sunshine
But it's just another cloudy day
"Same toilet"
You know how they say
We just try'n to get by
'Course we got a dream
Windows down, maybe catch the breeze man
No wonder why we stay fly
When you busy paying dues
And you feel that you ain't got no more to lose
Well, baby boy it takes time
I ain't got no more to waste
For that money
I'ma do just what it takes
