Sunshine
ESham · Acid Rain [2002]
But I feel funny ways on sunny days, honey plays
Money pays but keep in on sunny days.
Used to be my baby, but now you just the neighborhood kid.
And i'm thinkin bout' the things I did, just to make ya' happy.
Scoop ya' scrappy, but listen to the nappy pappy.
It's all about money, It's all about mo' money, and it's gettin mo funny
in the sunny days. I think about my wicked ways, juices got me crazed, so crime pays.
Puttin' in work doin' my dirt, and I'm the one that ends up gettin hurt.
Just for a peice a' puss', a peice of bush, and now the next man's gettin the toosh.
I Guess i know next time, but for now i'm just losin' my mind
'Cause' I'm caught up in the sunshine.
Yeah
Most get mine in the sunshine
Yeah
My life, my life, my...
Sunshine
