Sunshine
Grits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bounce and shake, let me see you move,
Bounce and shake, let me see you move,
Bounce and shake, let me see you move,
Bounce and shake, let me see you move.

When you wake up in the morning, (sunshine)
Feeling Grits in my company, (sunshine)
Down with me and I feel like...(sunshine)
Don't ever let them steal our...(sunshine)
Sunshine on my rainy day, (when you wake up in the morning)
Work hard all week, now it's time to play, (feeling Grits in my company)
You see we sheik this, what we say, (down with me and I feel like...)
Are you gonna go my way, hey? (don't ever let them steal our...)
Sunshine on my rainy day,
Work hard all week, now it's time to play,
You see we sheik this, what we say,
Are you gonna go my way, hey?

Adjust the bass to high levels so we can vibe,
Count to ten when the trouble go running high,
Stare in the face, catching the feeling you like,
Anywhere you be, well, it's a place that's alright,
Part of a clan, we saw the dawn of man,
And smelled the stench that's passing gas in the fan,
We got inspiration, lifting information,
Invade location with no intimidation,
Can you handle it yet: the standard we set?
Came, ruled the place, and we humbly left,
Others try and rip when it came to grip the chrome,
Gas was a trip; couldn't stand up on your own,
I ain't one to gloat, sink, or rock the boat,
It's a provoked shot; we're go for the throat,
This my tale: done broke the third rail,
Sunshine don't fail,
Like it, oh well.

When you wake up in the morning, (sunshine)
Feeling Grits in my company, (sunshine)
Down with me and I feel like...(sunshine)
Don't ever let them steal our...(sunshine)
When you wake up in the morning, (sunshine)
Feeling Grits in my company, (sunshine)
Down with me and I feel like...(sunshine)
Don't ever let them steal our...(sunshine)

Sunshine on my rainy day,
Work hard all week, now it's time to play,
You see we sheik this, what we say,
Are you gonna go my way, hey?
Sunshine on my rainy day,
Work hard all week, now it's time to play,
You see we sheik this, what we say,
Are you gonna go my way, hey?

Let the sun rays cut through the haze and great days,
And blaze great some maze and heat in the place,
Keep the faith leaking while I'm speaking this way,
Seeking his face, illumination lighting the way,
Fight to stay forever on the righteous path,
I did the math, counted every cost I had - my loss was none,
Now I only crave the Son: a gift to some, curse to the ignorant ones who live in the dark, need of a light to spark,
The fears to part Red Sea of life and heart,
Ripped apart, signed, sealed and healed by God,
And that's my word; forget about the rest you heard,
If you're out there, let it put you back in place,
Got a problem? - don't let it crack your case,
In the blackness, throughout the space and time, let the flame burn free,
Sit in the sunshine.

When you wake up in the morning, (sunshine)
Feeling Grits in my company, (sunshine)
Down with me and I feel like...(sunshine)
Don't ever let them steal our...(sunshine)
When you wake up in the morning, (sunshine)
Feeling Grits in my company, (sunshine)
Down with me and I feel like...(sunshine)
Don't ever let them steal our...(sunshine)

Sunshine on my rainy day,
Work hard all week, now it's time to play,
You see we sheik this, what we say,
Are you gonna go my way, hey?
Sunshine on my rainy day,
Work hard all week, now it's time to play,
You see we sheik this, what we say,
Are you gonna go my way, hey?
