[Verse 1]
[D]Imagine looking at life thr[C]ough rose- tinted glasses
And the [Bm]policy of the people is passive,
and [Bb]all the women got [C]fat asses
[D]And all the homies got dub[C]s
and deeds to spend
[Bm]And when the po- po's pass
they wave [Bb]and say "hi"
[C]And wear [D]a grin (hey)
And everybody that you meet
[C]is a potential friend
And the [Bm]women in your life love you for
[Bb]yourself and n[C]ot your ends
[D]And the population's real so
[C]there's no reason to pretend
And [Bm]ignore we are the same,
so no one [Bb]hates you for the color [C]of your skin
[D]And every waking thought is one
[C]of peace and harmony and bliss

[Verse 2]
That [Bm]simple satisfaction like a
[Bb]plate of eggs an[C]d grits
[D]Senses fully alive like
[C]the feeling of a first kiss
And [Bm]when it's check out time
you got a [Bb]smile on your [C]lips, huh
[D]And the whole world is lik[C]e
a next- door neighbor
[Bm]Quick to do you a favor even though we
[Bb]come in a million [C]different flavors
[D]And I know there's not enough
time [C]to put it all in one rhyme
So [Bm]I savor the flavor and sweet [Bb]taste
I feel from [C]the rays of [D]the sunshine
[C]I'm

[Verse 3]
[Bm]sit[Bbaug][C]
ting in [D]the sunshine
The [C]sunshine, [Bm]like the world was mine,
[Bbaug]the sunshine
[C]I'm[D][C][Bm][Bbaug]
[C]walking in [D]the sunshine
The sunshine, [Bm]like the world was mine,
the [Bbaug]sun shine
[C]If

[Verse 4]
[D]love was a flower I'd spread the
[C]petals about the planet
And plant [Bm]seeds,
throughout every city and country
[Bb]Even in those [C]who do not want me
[D]I try to make some sense of the
[C]situation that we call life
[Bm]Some, verbal illustration
to help [Bb]ease this strife
[C]Some, [D]lyrical penetration
to try [C]to make things right
In [Bm]hopes that what I'm saying can
[Bb]sat urate your m[C]ind frame
An[D]d help you with the pain and the
[C]strain of the everyday [Bm]struggle
I don't need it all, I wanna [Bb]see all y'all b[C]ubble

[Verse 5]
[D]
And rise to the top then prove t[C]o be
hard like a rock
[Bm]Cause you know it don't stop
unless [Bb]we let it all [C]stop
So when [D]you face to face with ad[C]versity,
just curse him, C
[Bm]And look him in the eye, and let him k[Bb]now,
that he can't [C]hurt a G
[D]And that you willing to risk it all
[C]For the things of people that you believe [Bm]in
So educate yourself in order
[Bb]to assess your [C]achievements
[D]And if I had to explain this rea[C]ler so
you could see it in your [Bm]mind
I guess [Bb]it's kinda like sunshine

[Verse 6]
[D]I'm [Bm]sitt[Bb]ing in t[C]he sunshine[D]
The [C]sunshine, like [Bm]the world was mine,
[Bbaug]the sunshine
[C]I'm[D][C][Bm][Bbaug]
[C]walking in the [D]sunshine
The [C]sunshine, like the world [Bm]was mine,
the [Bbaug]sun shine[C]

[Verse 7]
[D]Before I continue let me
[C]make one thing clear
Took [Bm]me a while but there's three things
I learned to [Bb]put before my [C]self and career
[D]God, family and my fans
[C]I wish that I could hold your hand
[Bm]And be like Moses,
part the Red [Bb]Sea and lead you to the [C]promised land
[D]Our demons blazing, [C]and it feels amazing
[Bm]I can lay here till I'm old and grey
[Bb]and shriveled like a [C]raisin
[D]Throughout the years, months and days
When [C]life used to pass by in a daze

[Verse 8]
An[Bm]d I was posted simply getting [Bb]faded,
just waiting
[C]Living life wit[D]h the eye for nothing but cold steel,
[C]fast cash and [D]hot payment
[Bm]Impatient to be a baller and roll
[Bb]a SS [C]on [D]Daytons
And now I'm here and I promise to get my [C]whole soul,
mind, [D]body and spirit
[Bm]And try to lift every voice and rhyme
[Bb]loud as hell so all [C]y'all can hear it
[D]And still remember the words from that
[C]old hip- hop spiritual
[Bm]I'm living in a Gangsta Paradise
[Bb]and I hope y'all [C]remember too
[D]An d even though it's west coast
[C]eastside Compton on [D]mine
It's [Bm]ok cause I don't mind
if you share [Bb]some of my sunshine

[Verse 9]
[D]I'm [Bm]sitt[Bbaug]ing in the[C] sunshine[D]
The [C]sunshine, [Bm]like the world was mine,
[Bb]the sunshine
[C]I'm[D][Bm][Bbaug]
[C]walking in [D]the sunshine
[C]The sunshine, like [Bm]the world was mine,
the [Bbaug]sun shine[C]

[Verse 10]
[D]I'm [Bm]sitt[Bb]ing in t[C]he sunshine[D]
The [C]sunshine, [Bm]like the world was mine,
[Bbaug]the sunshine
[C]I'm[D][Bm][Bb]
[C]walking in [D]the sunshine
[C]The sunshine, like the[Bm] world was mine,
the [Bbaug]sunshine
[C]I'm

[Verse 11]
[D]dy [Bm]ing b[Bbaug]efore
[C]they take away [D]my sunshine
And [Bm]I ai[Bb]n't lying (s[C]unshine)
I'll be [D]dy [Bm]ing b[Bb]efore they
[C]take away [D]my sunshine[Bm]
[Bbaug]And I[C][D][Bm]
[Bb]ain'[C]t lying (sun
