Sunlight
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics

I got a letter and a picture from a stranger
I want to meet you, let me tell you who your son is
Well, on the block the people walk and talk and greet ya
I want to take you where they said they saw the sun

Why is all the sunlight gone?
And all the sunlight gone and all the sunlight
Same old story, gone to meet you
Same old story, sunny boy

And I will and he's lost his mind
Oh and I know that the son is mine
Turn your sunlights on

I saw the photograph they said it's from a stranger
I saw the photograph, they said they want to meet you
I read the message and already went to see them
I took the photograph, they said they want to meet you

Why is all the sunlight gone?
Is all the sunlight gone, is all the sunlight
Same old story, gone to meet you
Same old story, sunny boy

And I will and he's lost his mind
Oh and I know that the son is mine, shit
Turn your sunlights on

I got a letter and a picture from a stranger
I want to meet you, let me tell you who your son is
Well, on the block the people walk and talk and greet ya
I want to take you where they said they saw the sun

Why is all the sunlight gone?
Is all the sunlight gone, is all the sunlight
(Is all the sunlight gone)
Same old story, gone to meet you
(All the sunlight gone)
Same old story, gone to meet you
(All the sunlight gone)
Same old story, sunny boy

And I will and he's lost his mind
Oh and I know that the son is mine
Oh and I will and he's lost his mind
Oh and I know that the son is mine
Turn your sunlights on
