The Big Tymers consisted of Cash Money Records co-founder, Birdman and former Cash Money in-house producer, Mannie Fresh. The Big Tymers released their debut album in 1998 entitled, How You Luv That, and a remixed version of their debut album, How You Luv That Vol. 2 which gave them an abundant amount of publicity afterwards.

The lead single from I Got That Work, "Number One Stunna" peaked at #24 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.

Sunny Day
Big Tymers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: T.Q.]
Just like a sunny day, I'm gon' shine
You betta cover yo face, or you'll be blind
Oh big shiny blades, that's how I ride
Just like a sunny day, watch me shine

[Baby]
Hey, eh, uhn-uhn-ah, uhn-uhn-ah hold on, ro, huh

You see them chrome on dem whodi?
Oooh-wee, bad mother fucker, chrome pipes, and chromed out mufflers
Paint my cars, and dip these rods
Re-do the inside, 'cause stunna gon' ball
Shine my teets, when I hit these streets
Call hot boy Elvin, to slide me a piece
Slipped it girl, fed her some gas
I buh-a burn, I buh-a, buh-a burn ya ass
Brawlers, bars, and marble's garage
Minks on the floor, with them platinum toys
Its 500 degrees, it's hot as fuck (uh uh-a, uh uh-a)
Believe me boy, my shit diced up
I stay one way, I play every day
Its February 15th, stunna, how's the day?

[Mannie Fresh]
Now if you believe, like I believe
We can get to the mountain top
We can achieve what Martin was talkin' bout
what's all the barkin' bout?
I'm a man playa, on my two feet, that's how I'm walking out
a lot of these chumps niggas say I just bling too much
But a lot of y'all ain't doing nothing, y'all just dream too much
And all of y'all niggas ain't coming up to nuttin but a big ole zero
And in case you didn't know nigga, I'm the hood hero

[Chorus - Gotti]
It's like a sunny day, plus I'm getting money today
With no funny play, 'cause I got the gun at my waist
And like stunna say, feeling like a hunter today
Million, mommy fine, but she got bumps in her face
But it ain't nothing but a G thang baby
So I'ma hit it in the back of my Mercedes
We on dubs, it's all love, this shit crazy
And Cash Money is the label that made me

[Mikkey]
Mikkey take em church, its on you what you take from this verse
We like a cedar, we just straight from the dirt
So it's in us, we stuck, like it's in us to
Cock..that..thang..back..and dump
Please, you don't want it wit us
Now they say money makes the world go round
But for the right price,
Stunna said yo girl done with the opposite of up
More than music this is rap hustlin'
This is money mackin' and publishin'
Death before struggling, that's shine daddy

[Chorus]

This is about making money through publishing and other means

Death before struggling, that's shine daddy
It's better to die than to struggle and not succeed. This is what 'Shine Daddy' believes
