[Intro]
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine
[Chorus: Bilal]
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)
[Verse 1: Common]
I was born, son of Mahalia, so I received the Gospel
Told to go spell it and bring it back to Chicago
Rap's du Sable 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, our 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 down like a maitre d'
Money ain't swaying me, that's the Dave in me
Some took shots over bars, they ain't grazin' me
The way I move from A to B, they hate to see
The heart can sing a song for me to live gratefully
[Chorus: Bilal | Posdnous]
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)
[Verse 2: Posdnuos]
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
Of where lyrically best went – it's me on all fours
So they say that I'm a GOAT – but, that I do ignore
'Cause a goat could 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 is the vehicle and knowledge be the steering
When the sun –
[Chorus: Bilal]
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)
[Verse 3: Common]
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 'em biofeedback
They need that, and still lay pipe like Three Stacks
Over these tracks, I relapse 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 praises
Spit bars, get my people out of cages
[Chorus: Bilal]
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)
