[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F]
[Am][F]
[Am][C][F]
[Am][F]
[Am]
[C]And let me

[Verse 1]
[F]take you to a place
where the rays off the sun
[Am]Blocked by the great lofty
rain off to come
[F]Single parents and family raise all
When it [Am]once took a village,
now they call a slum
[F]People don't greet or smile,
they poke a face, call [Am]him tough
A wild card may call you bluff
[F]Blades don't pay off,
they blaze all the guns
Maybe [Am]take all your bucks,
maybe [C]pay off for [G]drugs
[F]They know what's up, pay off a suck
They all [Am]cor rupt,
somebody might pay off the judge
See, [F]knowledge is the key
and the truth shall set you free
[Am]But it's so hard to take off the cuffs
When [F]the laws of the land
don't scrape off the scum
Bag[Am]s bum politicians
waste all the funds
[F]Schools don't teach,
so the playground is love
Till the [Am]strain blow,
make a soul [C]take off above
His [F]mama dressed in black,
she make all the fuss
He [Am]could've been an ex
-MJ off the jump
Hang [F]out the tongue, free throw,
take off and dunk
The [Am]newspaper say, all for what?
The police was [F]looking for witness
But they always dumb
[Am]Nobody wanna cooperate, not with fuzz
They [F]use us to make all the bust
Intoxic [Am]heroes, sandwich the dogs
who [C]make off [F]for lunch
[Am]Sunrise, sunse[F]t
[Am]Sunrise,[C][F]
[Am]Sunrise, sunset
[F]What you want, what you[Am] want,
what you [C]got
[Am]I just wanted to feel this beat
[F]right here[Am][F]
Another gray matter like
a brain [Am]pat tern
Confused with her color change parents
Fam[F]ily on the light side,
don't accept the dark side
[Am]Sorta like apartheid,
[C]pass each other by like the [Am]far side
Fat lip like a daddy,
flat butt like a mammy
Nobody can relate in the family
She can't sit with granny
cause her skin too brown
Ain't from Tanny, whatever
She feel like [C]a big boy and
Andre togeth[F]er
Without the umbrel[Am]la
in the same rain weather
And that's a outcast
if your brain ain't clever
But it's great could be a
change for the better,
gotta [C]mistakes, [F]nothing
Sun and [Am]fire, sun and [F]sand
Sun and [Am]fire, sun and [C]sand[F]
Sun and [Am]fire, sun and
Sun [F]and fire, sun [Am]and [C]sand
Now as I [F]walk through the valley
in the shadow of death
Real [Am]ji had, the battle itself,
I'm not a superman
[F]Everything's out of my chest except S
I'll [Am]be okay,
press Q to destroy that stress
Pimp [F]the rhyme skills
like a prostitute in high heels
Walking [Am]through a minefield,
tryna blow the fuck up
Neck [F]high on bills,
Indy on the driver wheel
Maybe I should [Am]sign a deal,
maybe that'll [C]slow the buck up
And I [F]can't afford it,
my fam gotta stay supported
They [Am]wanna grow tall on the charts
and get shorter by the [F]corporate
You need more than Trojan type horses
To [Am]penetrate they fortify fortress
They hire more [F]lawyers
that'll run circles around your office
[Am]J .D. weighs often,
whites get weighed,
gotta be [F]Navy trained
Sometimes sunshine is only a [Am]phase,
making this paper,
save [C]it later for a rainy [F]day
[Am]Sunrise, sunset,
[F]sunrise,[Am][C]
[F]sun[Am]rise, sunset
[F]What you want, what you [Am]want,
what you [C]want[F]
Sun[Am]rise, sunset,
[F]what you want me to [Am]do?[C][F]
[Am]Sunrise, sunset,
[F]what you want me to [Am]do?[C][F]
[Am]Sunrise, sunset,
[F]what you want me to [Am]do?
[C][G][F][G]
[Am][F#]
Sonny and my father always said
that when I get older I would understand,
well, I finally did.
I learned something from these two men,
I [B]learned to give love and get love
unconditionally,
you just have to accept
people for what they are,
[F#]and I learned the greatest gift of all,
The saddest thing in life is wasted talent
and the choices that you make
will shape your life forever.
