(Let the sun shine)
Yeah yeah its a brand new day yall (Let the sunshine in)
Turn me up in the top a little bit dog
Little do you know, yall gonna hear this one (The suns shinin)
Loud and clear, bright and early
Listen..
I dont hate players, I dont love the game
Im the shot clock, way above the game
To be point blank with you motherfuck the game
I got all this work on me, I aint come for play
You can show the little shorties how you pump and fake
But dog, Not to def, Im not impressed
Im not amused, Im not confused, Im not to dude
Im grown man business, and I am not in school
Put your hand down youngin this is not for you
On my +J.O.+ with beats by Kan-ye yo
My name on the marquee, your name off the payroll
Style fresh, like Im still a day old
And its been like that since the day yo
On more time than a Roley, or Seiko
Step on deck, your neck do what I say so
Get up or get out, get down or lay low
(Let the sun shine)
Standing in the shadow of a fabulous man
Brooklyn nigga I am, Black Dante (Let the sunshine in)
That nigga, that dude
Black People, Lets Move (The suns shinin)
Shout out to my man Talib Kweli, yes
We on top-a top-a, shout-a shout-a
Check it out..
Slim nigga that casts a big shadow
Cherokee red to shoot the long arrow
Got more skill, more aim, and more ammo
You can get it all from a big or small barrel
Like, hail Mary, full of grace
Niggaz come in and shoot up the place
And make you pull up your face
The deck, Im a pull out the ace
From the jungles of the empire state
where it aint no escape, 247, 718
And thats like every night, every day
From the place that I settle and stay
To the states, Im collecting my pay
Blast off then Im back to the K
Hold it down so my family straight
Represent in a family way
Pro ball not for amateur play
Been raw since the amateur stage
Before the press had the cameras raised
(Let the sun shine)
Like a long time man of the way
You understanding me straight (Let the sunshine in)
Yes, yes, no doubt, excellence
Its what it is, what it is
And thats what it is, you see? (The suns shinin)
Ha, Fire..
Cause it is deeper, sweeter, richer, crisper
Stronger reception and sharper picture
Revolve around God, and involve with niggaz
These elements I perform my scripture
And make Mos Def a classic modern figure
Brooklyn it dont matter if you holler or whisper
Your coming through clan, cause Im right here witcha
Aint gotta edit the slang, I got it, Ill get ya
Yo, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers
The lovers, the leavers, the doubters, believers
The stayers, the quitters, the bitches, the niggaz
Rebel guerrillas the ghetto civilians
Yall gon feel it from the first to the millionth
Its extra, ordinary and plain
I walk a thousand paces of light ahead of the game
By the time you get where Im standing, Ill be gone
Yall make moves, but yall just move on
(Let the sun shine)
I move in, and yall must move on
Cause I move to strong
And I know what my feet move for (Let the sunshine in)
Made it go without a brand new car
Made it fresh without a brand new song
And give a fuck about what brand you are (The suns shining)
Im concerned what type of man you are
What your principles and standards are
You understand me yall
Be good to your family yall
No matter where your families are
Cause everybody needs family yall
Raise a hand, you understand me yall
Everybody needs family yall
Be good to your families dog
Understand, no matter where your families are
Everybody needs family dog
Raise a hand, you understand me pa
Thats what it is...thats my man
Family and my family Pencil Pete
My man too, all our loved ones behind the walls
All of those who still in the struggle
Masada Malia, Son Dial la, Magic Mel
(Let the sun shine)
Life is real
To all the real soldiers, black people (Let the sunshine in)
We family yall (The suns shining)
Let it be bright..
