verse 1:

He wanted drama so I brought him pain

wadadadang

listen to my nine millimeter go bang

out goes your brains; feel the motherfuckin terror

and you ain't felt the comin of death like this ever

you paused; and now I got a Colt 45

semiautomatic explodin between your eyes; surprise

you never thought your yesterdays would come back to haunt you

but believe me I've come back to haunt you

I'm bout to bring your dog days to you mista

cause rules in the streets you come off we come get ya

and hit ya'; and I done let you slide a few times

but eventually you gots to die in due time

sunshine

chorus:(x2)

sunshine

everybody needs

sunshine

my life, my life, my life

verse:

his mama must've got the news

the little boy that she gave birth to was on of them niggas they pulled

out the room

and all my other little homies stood shocked

while they watched my other little homie bleed non-stop

on the other side of sorrow is a father being torn

apart by the sight of his son's lying in the morgue

he mourned cuz now he got to deal with the fact

that his child is gone and tears can't bring him back

turn on the T.V. and seen the unabomber

I flew to D.C., still they got no karma

and everybody say they think its all gonna change

you paint me pictures, but they all look the same

its strange, I'm standin in my own frame of thought

remainin in the street game framin which I was taught

I was taught to always keep my eyes open wide

cause in these streets you got to ride or you die

I've seen a child born and I've seen a man die

can't live forever and I understand why
