After Every Dark Day Comes Sunshine
[Verse 1]
At times, I'm soft-spoken
Remembering days of poverty, feeling heartbroken
And I was hopin': any job spots open?
Feelin' lost, so I hit the streets and seen the cost
Many of my dawgs got lost, I was off
'Til I found my way with the rhyme
So I turned away the life of crime
While freein' minds, it all aligns
When you just open up the blinds
Used to be in the dark, 'til I opened up the mind
Catch me free in the park, to take a walk, I need some time
For some mental maintenance
Just as long as I stay patient
Let the people hear my voice, the salute is so sacred
While avoidin' hatred in the belly of the demon, I'm a thinker
I try to be the student and the teacher, so
I'm steady on the movement to the beaker
I told you I'll see you at the top, nice to meet ya
[Chorus]
After every dark day comes sunshine
I'll make the days count, right on the front line
Don't let it go to waste, you only get one mind
And I'll be showin' up right when it's showtime
After every dark day comes sunshine
I'll make the days count, right on the front line
Don't let it go to waste, you only get one mind
And I'll be showin' up right when it's showtime
[Verse 2]
It's never over 'til it's over
Change gon' come like Sam Cooke
A coward dies a thousand ways, not living by the handbook
It's hard finding peace when this wicked land's crook
Surviving with these beasts, you ain't know, fam? Look
Don't fall asleep, find your strengths when feeling weak
We are all unique, so stay solid as concrete
What's the event? Just as long as the time's well spent
Too many risks, so forget a day off, that ain't it
Just tryna make a way for my fam
I'm never givin' up, 'cause I'll be damned
I'll prove 'em all wrong, silence the lamb
With all the obstacles that I withstand
Responsibilities of being a man
Find tranquility and peace with the land
I search for knowledge when I don't understand
Ready for war if they force my hand
[Chorus]
After every dark day comes sunshine
I'll make the days count, right on the front line
Don't let it go to waste, you only get one mind
And I'll be showin' up right when it's showtime
After every dark day comes sunshine
I'll make the days count, right on the front line
Don't let it go to waste, you only get one mind
And I'll be showin' up right when it's showtime
