Common - When The Sun Shines Again Lyrics

(Sunshine, sunshine)
(Sunshine, sunshine)
(Sunshine)

When the sun shines again (sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win (sunshine, sunshine)
When the sun shines again (sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win (sunshine)

I was born, son of Mahalia, so I received the gospel
Told the ghost, spell it and bring it back to Chicago
Raps for sorrow for the street apostles
The big payback for the dollar that I borrowed
Bust raps for tomorrow
Where the guns clap and go bravo
My pops was a genie living in the bottle
Light and dark in us, I own vitiligo
In Pentecostal Chicago, bravado and bravery
We went from cargo and slavery
To God flow they pay to see
And took agency for what we made to be
With no reservations, I sit niggas own like a maître d'
Money ain't swaying me, that's the Dave in me
Some took shots over bars, they ain't grazing me
The way I move from A to B, they hate to see
The hawk can sing a song for me to live gracefully

When the sun shines again (sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win (sunshine, sunshine)
When the sun shines again (sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win
We here to win (sunshine)

Yo, I'm not the life of the party
I'm aspiring to the cause, that align with the laws
When you tally the assessment on where lyrically best
When it's me on all fours
So they say that I'm a GOAT, but that I do ignore
'Cause a goat can be slaughtered and cooked up in curry
And ate up in a hurry and that I can't afford
But never ignore the fact, me and Com
Is part something from the Qu'ran or maybe part Corinthians
Part nigga like that group Cube or Ren be in
Or was in, either way, knock 'em down by the dozen
While cheers we're hearing, they understand
That wealth be the vehicle and knowledge be the steering

When the sun shines again (sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win (sunshine, sunshine)
When the sun shines again (sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win (sunshine)

I sat in the wind and knew not to pretend
So many stories in a grin, the auditorium of him, I'm him
Even when the world didn't hear me
I had to spell it out like KRS did Jimmy
The J, the I, I go hard like it is to say goodbye
You don't want beef when the stakes is high
Before I took off, I had to pray to fly
My faith and I, I keep one eye open
I'm the Black Jack Sparrow
The God in the details, I rap that thorough
And listen to women and give them biofeedback
They need that and still they fight like Three Stacks
Over these tracks, I relax like a dope fiend sprinter
Who's talkin' 'bout snow, but he don't mean winter
The sun shines again, what's due is all praise
And spit bars, get my people out of cages

When the sun shines again (sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win (sunshine, sunshine)
When the sun shines again (sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win (sunshine)

Sun, sun, sunshine, sun, sun
Sunshine blazing, made you walk in the daytime
Chi-child of the sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun
Sunshine blazing, made you walk in the daytime
Chi-child of the sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sunshine blazing, made you walk in the daytime
Child of the sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun
Sunshine blazing, made you walk in the daytime
Child of the sun
Sun, sun, sunshine
Sun, sun, sunshine, sun, sun, sunshine (child)
Sun, sun, sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine blazing, made you walk in the daytime
Child of the sun
Sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sun, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine blazing, made you walk in the daytime
Child of the sun
