Thinking Of Sunshine

[Verse 1]

All I have is my misery

A bucks and some cigarettes

A perfect billboard model just kissed my cheek

That one morning the city slept

I've got a dirty mind but my shoes are clean

I don't look away cus' I choose to see

The chain around your neck isn't jewellery

You ain't foolin' me, cause I...

Never had no shades to cry behind

Never found the place I tried to find

If I told you so then I'd be lying, uh

I was lost and made a change, of course

But I'm still afraid of change, of course

Someone told me "when it rains, it pours"

[Hook]

I've been thinking of sunshine (sunshine)

Through the pain and strife

I've been thinking of sunshine

Through the coldest days of life

[Verse 2]

All I have is my history

Strolled the streets when a stranger passed

He spoke and, when I got to hear his story

I realized my life's not so bad

I used to have a job 'til they fired me

I thought I was the person I strived to be

Now everything is gone but that's fine with me

Cause my mind is free, and I...

Never had no shades to cry behind

Never found the place I tried to find

If I told you so then I'd be lying, uh

I was lost and made a change, of course

But I'm still afraid of change, of course

Someone told me "when it rains, it pours"

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

I never took nothing from no one, except bad advice

Some of my homies never overcame the setbacks of life

Li, li, life has taught me two things

Life has taught me two things

Tie your own shoestrings, sometimes we go through things

I've done things, I do things I'm not always proud of

But I smile through the struggle just as I've won the lotto

I know reality is hard sometimes, it's easy to dream

It's only when you close your eyes that you can see what I see

See what I mean?
