McKinley Dixon
Sun, I Rise
[Verse 1: McKinley Dixon]
How I coulda under estimate sun
How I coulda been so blind from the light that it brung
Eyes once wide; now seemly white from the fun
Blindly staring at the beauty, whisper, "what I become?"
I’m, fiending for that fleeting feeling of warmth
I ain't mad, she ain't shared, yeah, it's par for the course
All my n***as get they language directly from source
So, we grip everything the light touch directly from porch
And pull it closer, figured how to catch light up in fist
Now it’s time for us to find out where other suns exist
Bullet meant for the temple of Goliath
But David wеnt mad with power
Now I’m here to kill thе king that killed the giants
All hail, the slingshot kid
Hope he survives my ass
Pray I don’t love what I did
OG slap the back of my head
Said "stop fuckin around
You only fall when you think you smarter than those
Shooting you down", now I
[Pre-Chorus: McKinley Dixon]
I tuck my chain into my shirt
You n***as never finna catch me
5-0 right behind me
Finna let them n***as pass
We, moving how we do
Because tonight might end with lastly
Head out the window
I'm fucking yelling out:
[Chorus: Angélica Garcia & McKinley Dixon]
Sun I rise
Sun I, sun I
Sun I rise
Sun I, sun I
Sun I rise
[Verse 2: McKinley Dixon]
Yeah, okay
I’m asking "please forgive for what I did when world was on my shoulders"
We bent the block so many times, car almost flipped right over
Said I became a better liar as I’ve gotten older
Is it 'cause the tongue got sharper, or 'cause my heart got colder?
Fuck around and find out, I’m walking with death
Right hand my dominant, but ain't afraid to use left
Yeah, my homie did just pass away
I made my n***as laugh today
I’m cool if for me tomorrow isn’t promised
I measure time by dirty braids and stretched out beaters
One serves as sun dial; the other's a meter
To measure wings on a boy whose seemed to beaten the odds
Cause perils come easy if heralds fly too far away from they gods
Ecstatic, others thought this flight was for them
And found the curse of leaving Earth is you was never locked in
Though a n***a far from where he began
[Pre-Chorus: McKinley Dixon]
I tuck my chain into my shirt
You n***as never finna catch me
5-0 right behind me
Finna let them n***as pass, we
Moving how we do
Because tonight might end with lastly
Head out the window, ah, you heard it before:
[Chorus: Angélica Garcia & McKinley Dixon]
Sun I rise
Sun I, sun I
Sun I rise
Sun I, sun I
Sun I rise
