Sundown |
| I grew up upper lower class |
| We was always low on cash |
| Hard to believe, we was six deep |
| In a three bedroom one bath |
| Some have nots, ain’t have a lot |
| But thankful for what we had |
| Tho at times I was fighting mad |
| Feeling sad now I’m glad |
| Cuz the struggle made us stronger |
| In retrospect wouldn’t so bad |
| Wrote it down in my note pad |
| Cuz life a go by so fast |
| Same things that made us cry |
| Are now the things that make us laugh |
| End of the day the memories are the only things that’s gone last |
| I’m on a flex |
| I’m wanna be on what’s next |
| I wanna storm a castle |
| Join a gang, be the capo |
| Change my name to Oladapo |
| Break the chains and the shackles |
| No more knocking at doors in a lil suit and a book satchel |
| Life can be so demeaning |
| The same time with out meaning |
| I just wanna reminisce looking at pictures while I’m cleaning |
| I don’t wanna be a nigga |
| But am I dreamin |
| Don’t just wanna be your nigga |
| But am I clingin |
| Relationships can be so silly |
| You fronted me thank you dearly |
| But life really does go on |
| I was 13 when Mr. Spikes recorded our song |
| Now I’m up in age and me God don’t really get along |
| That’s life |
| Sun still lingers after sundown |
| My world still centers round a sun dial |
| Prolly never see it again in that one town |
| Find me lookin at the pictures when we’d run wild |
| Sun still lingers after sundown |
| World still centers round a sun dial |
| Never see it again in that one town |
| Lookin at the pictures when we run wild |
| I’m on a bench |
| Making art like DaVinci |
| Painting by numbers so simply |
| How can it be, I came up from nothing not anything |
| On a mission not many see |
| They been calling me Skinny since 23 |
| Independent without a pension |
| Or magic jumping jellybeans |
| Been BoB’in it before anyone really knew what the hell it means |
| Relevance is the missing element to anyone who’s still developing |
| Keep at it |
| Don’t let nobody sell you a dream |
| Even Hellen Keller could smell its a scheme |
| Failure, is a helluva thing |
| The elephant in the room is making one helluva scene |
| Life is a bitch who jealous, even if you call her your wife with a wedding ring |
| Corona and grenadine, in my stomach is so unsettling |
| We’re past the point, of no return |
| Unspoken success to me, should mean everything |
| Sun still lingers after sundown |
| My world still centers round a sun dial |
| Prolly never see it again in that one town |
| Find me lookin at pictures when we’d run wild |
| Skrrrrt… |
| I’m on the move, creating music that can soothe |
| The savage beast set the mood |
| Hell bent put the needle on a 12 inch and get in my groove |
| Buffalo pretty sho he dat dude tho it’s always room to improve |
| Shooting for the stars landing on the moon Bring it home like he Boov |
| Ain’t nothin more for me to prove |
| Made my mom proud made my hood smile stuck my chest out flexin on dee haters |
| like terry cruise |
| Paved the way for the younger dudes now them bumpy roads lookin smooth |
| Eyes to the blue skies wit the orange hues enjoyin the views |
| Seventeen we was running wild |
| I would skip my class it would take a mile |
| Getting educated that was outta style |
| Come to realization it would take a while |
| Shit got heavy when the made a file |
| No one answered when I made a dial |
| Momma like no need to wait around |
| Pack a bag you need to leave the town |
| The cross you out or they gone lay you down |
| No tears can’t show a frown |
| You a king to most they gone take the crown |
| Played the shepherd couldn’t play the sheep |
| State to state when I had the Jeep |
| Hear my voice they gone know I’m own |
| They gone click my name like a wiki leak |
| Sun still lingers after sundown |
| My world still centers round a sun dial |
| Prolly never see it again in that one town |
| Find me lookin at the pictures when we’d run wild |
| Sun still lingers after sundown |
| World still centers round a sun dial |
| Never see it again in that one town |
| Lookin at the pictures when we run wild |
