Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We have been thinking about our past
We've been thinking that we're here to stay
Cause we drop a new hit never hear it like that
Word of mouth is that it's birthed right at
The desert and now the whole world might ask
Have heard it sure it's searched for like Ast-ronauts
Got lost in space with a burst right capsuleWhoo
This is domination
Rise up like I'm leading congregations
Hyped up right cause we concentrating
Writin' my tongues speeding on the stage and
The sun'll never set on the 101 yeah we let it grow
From rubble we gon' get it when one of us on a bed of roses
None'll soon forget him cause coming up to center fold
Means yup we'll forever be memories on a pedestal
The sun is setting, but it's not that dark
And none are ready when we drop this art
Cause every night, when all the time is tight
We tryna write a rhyme, when it be coming from the heart
The sun is setting, but it's not that dark
And none are ready when we drop this art
Cause every night, when all the time is tight
We tryna write a rhyme, when it be coming from the heart
This is the sunset
These are the nights spent
This is the light in your eyes when the sun sets
This is the sunset
These are the nights spentThis is the light in your eyes when the sun sets
Hour by hour, I got bread
Not enough to feed the fam, but I'm fed
Not enough to make a dream, but instead
Just enough to make a living still I feel dead
Many minutes I'm dancing like Taylor Bennett
When the rain bringing the pain there's a hanging feeling of anguish or
Maybe, I just feel guilt
Maybe I'm not committed to this throne we built
Maybe, while they construct, I just destruct, like I woke up, to a broken up, family's luck
Never been on our side but it's still love, long as we still be living, we getting prayers from above
This is the fire that's never dying, the heat here is multiplying, dividing up all our blessings we
Sending them to the sky
And I don't ride to the setting sun
But if we're out here, then the day is young
The sun is setting, but it's not that dark
And none are ready when we drop this art
Cause every night, when all the time is tight
We tryna write a rhyme, when it be coming from the heart
The sun is setting, but it's not that dark
And none are ready when we drop this art
Cause every night, when all the time is tight
We tryna write a rhyme, when it be coming from the heart
This is the sunset
These are the nights spent
This is the light in your eyes when the sun sets
This is the sunset
These are the nights spent
This is the light in your eyes when the sun sets
This is the sunset
These are the nights spent
This is the light in your eyes when the sun sets
This is the sunset
These are the nights spent
This is the light in your eyes when the sun sets
