  • I say hey, sunshine
    Oh how the day can be so long
    I say hey, sunshine
    Oh how the day can be so long

    America, you need a miracle
    Beyond spiritual
    I need a realer view
    I hold a mirror to it
    These ain't new problems, they just old ways
    I see one time turn sunshine into Freddie Gray
    Just another nigga dead, just another nigga dead
    Send another to the FEDs, send another to the FEDs
    Not guilty, still I'm filthy
    In FOX eyes, we the dark side
    So they tell you lies
    Through a TV, C-N-B-C
    C-N-N, Don Lemon, no Kweli when you meet me
    In order to be me
    You gotta see what Chief Keef see
    Brenda's baby next door to the candy lady
    Same project as Candy Man where they still doing hand-in-hands
    Sunday to Sunday, pastor only want one day
    Grandma praying someday
    But God can't hear it over gun play
    Woo! Still a target, but the badge is the new noose
    Yeah, we all see it, but cellphones ain't enough proof
    So we still lose

    I say hey, sunshine
    Oh how the day can be so long
    I say hey, sunshine
    Oh how the day can be so long

    I don't got no march in me, I can't turn the other cheek
    While they testing your patience, they just testing my reach
    Funeral flowers, every 28 hours
    Being laid over ours
    Sworn to protect and serve, but who really got the power?
    Looking over their allowances
    Building prisons where the mountains is
    Laptops is for the county kids
    Metal detectors is where ours is
    They'll never re-write this, like they re-wrote history
    The fact that the Statue of Liberty was black is a goddamn mystery
    And so it goes, every truth don't get told
    All these cops get cleared, and lives are stole
    Every goose don't lay gold whoa
    Just another nigga dead, just another nigga dead
    Send another to the FEDs, send another to the FEDs
    They call in the National Guard
    Public Enemy, I am Chuck D
    Flavor Flav in Louis V, but I'm Huey P
    Woo! The new elite, it's either you or me
    Let the sunshine, cause their dark clouds try to ruin me

    It's more and more and more than Baltimore
    From shore to shore, oh lord
    Patience torn, patience gone, oh lord

    I say hey, sunshine
    Oh how the day can be so long
    I say hey, sunshine
    Oh how the day can be so long Writer/s: ADOLPH THORNTON, HAYWARD IVY
