Lyrics Sundown - Nappy Roots, Svnday

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
