b4-4 had moderate success in Canada. Notable singles include "Get Down", "Go Go", and "Everyday". The album earned them a nomination for Best New Group at the 2001 Juno Awards. Their second album, Before That, marked the beginning of a new rap attitude with hard hitting lyrics for gay rights. The album generated a minor buzz but is largely unknown due to the fact of their splitup.
Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'
B4-4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night's the time for all your tears
Your heart may be broken tonight
But tomorrow in the morning light
Don′t let the sun catch you crying
The nighttime shadows disappear
And with that go all your tears, baby
For every girl and boy
Don't don't don′t don′t let the sun catch you crying
Oooo baby
You know that crying's not a bad thing
But stop your crying when the birds sing
Oh no no no
Oh yeah
Oooo oooo
Just don′t forget that love's just a game
And it can always come again
So don′t let the sun catch you crying
Don't let the sun catch you crying, baby
Tomorrow in the morning light
Everything gonna be all right
Tomorrow in the morning light
Everything gonna be all right
Tomorrow in the morning light
Everything gonna be all right
(Repeat until fade)

Another one of the songs I never appreciated when I was a 12 year old. It’s pretty decent now that I’m older
