Sunshine
Scarface Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He wanted drama so I brought him pain

Listen to my nine millimeter go bang
Out goes your brains, feel the motherfucking terror
And you ain't felt the coming of death like this ever
You paused, and now I got a Colt 45
Semiautomatic exploding between your eyes, surprise
You never thought your yesterdays would come back to haunt you
But believe me, I've come back to haunt you
I'm bout to bring your dog days to you mista
Cause rules in the streets you come off we come get ya
And hit ya', and I done let you slide a few times
But eventually you gots to die in due time
Sunshine

[Chorus: x2]
Sunshine
Everybody needs
Sunshine
My life, my life, my life

His mama must've got the news
The little boy that she gave birth to was on of them niggas they pulled
Out the room
And all my other little homies stood shocked
While they watched my other little homie bleed non-stop
On the other side of sorrow is a father being torn
Apart by the sight of his son's lying in the morgue
He mourned cause now he got to deal with the fact
That his child is gone and tears can't bring him back
Turn on the T.V. and seen the unabomber
I flew to D.C., still they got no karma
And everybody say they think its all gonna change
You paint me pictures, but they all look the same
Its strange, I'm standing in my own frame of thought
Remaining in the street game framing which I was taught
I was taught to always keep my eyes open wide
Cause in these streets you got to ride or you die
I've seen a child born and I've seen a man die
Can't live forever and I understand why
So when your time comes will you crawl or be brave
And in between judgment will you fall or be saved
Sunshine

[Chorus]

Tears rolled town his face as he stared at his potna
With his chest full of holes and his head full of coppa
Broke his ass off something proper he's in the morgue
With his brains in a shit bag and a toe tag on-gone
This motherfucker must've thought he was a cat
And had nine lives but ended up on his back
And then the reaper came and took control of your mind
And you can't think you got a hole in your mind
You dyin' and can't nobody bring you out your coma
When this nigga brought the end and turned the lights out for ya
See ya and I wouldn't want to be in your position
Cause starin' the shaft of a strap and you the mission
Means one thing you let a motherfucker catch you on the sneak tip
And put your ass off in some deep shit, got the deep six
And everybody sad sendin' flowers to your ceremony
They lost their motherfuckin' homey
Damn Audi 5 on some dumb shit
And motherfuckers steady risking their safety behind this dumb shit
But I refuse to give a nigga mine
I give a nigga nine





[Chorus]
