EOM
Sunny Days
[Intro]
Yo, some may not be able to digest what it is to be a black man in this country
Routine traffic stops turn to nightmares
Stop and frisk turn to fatality
[?] hunter, even though you're hunted
Especially on sunny days
Word up

[Verse 1]
Just another sunny day in northern California
Watch where we going, the people might run up on you
And I ain't talking about the gangs that bang red and blue
I'm talking bout the boys in blue who aim them things right at you
My momma asked me keep my hands at ten and two
But I'm a grown man be, boy cool
Plus I know my rights and I graduated school
But they might still blind me when they flashing me in my rear view
Cause no such thing as a routine traffic stop
Cause California is the land of the crooked cops
Need I remind you that they fired more than 50 shots in one block
How many innocent bodies will they drop?
Sad to say, we may never know the answer
We need a cure for cops like we need a cure for cancer
Cause both is killing black males at alarming rates
No where is safe, anywhere, any fifty states

[Hook]
Sunny days, sunny days
They say in Cali it never rains
Wear a coat, cause it’s cold
They say sun will bring showers
Because the one with the biggest gun has the power

[Verse 2]
Now what it's gonna take for us to end all that trauma
Trayvon can be your son and that's word to Obama
Now word to my momma, I been trying to keep the peace up in these streets
But they gon have me turn these streets into Uganda
I rep this one for Oscar, they made a masterpiece from a catastrophe
Food fill station deserves an Oscar
So I do this in your honor and all my soldiers in the struggle
Down to fight the power, leave your name up on the roster
Cause in this war, silence equals betrayal
This is the for urgency for very black male
And everybody as well so everybody that's well
Unite for this [?] so justice doesn't prevail
My heart goes out to the family of Sean Bell
Gunned down by the police the night before his wedding bells
My heart goes out to Michael Bell as well
Somebody send me out to Philly, I'm ringing the Liberty Bell

[Hook]
Sunny days, sunny days
They say in Cali it never rains
Wear a coat, cause it’s cold
They say sun will bring showers
Because the one with the biggest gun has the power

[Verse 3]
Coming up the son of a cop
It's funny to me how the profiling still ain't stopped
But I'm thankful my pops took time off his watch
To give me insight to his thoughts
Different scenarios to think about, prepare for the plot
Teaching me how to avoid shots
Just a black man trying not to think with my riches
Or get caught up in the system
No [?] just on the pursuit to get richer
But it seems even if you in the Benz, you still a n***a in a Coop
Lyrics blaring from my sunroof
How ironic cause LAPD was staring too, to my right at the light
Looking at us kind of like n***a, I dare you to
Equal [?] the room
I experience with the black and white
Black versus whites, can't compare the two

[Hook]
Sunny days, sunny days
They say in Cali it never rains
Wear a coat, cause it’s cold
They say sun will bring showers
Because the one with the biggest gun has the power

[Bridge]
Has the power
Power
Power
Power
Power
Power
Power
Power

[Verse 4]
Yo, [?] til I seen it with my own eyes
A group of coppers [?] truth so they down to plant lies
But I'm true to my roots so when that lies
My Marcus Garvey EP teaches you about my black pride
Black fists to the black skies for all my fallen soldiers
Detectives could arrest us but never could they control us
Knock me off my [?] they hoping I lose my focus
But I carry up my cross [?] Babylon notice
I'm the son of God, and the Messiah in the flesh
But follow in his steps
This life ain't easy so I know this is my test
They crucify the truth but yo, I'm here to resurrect
Protect, I bring it to your neck
I spit the truth and nothing less
I'm [?] and who they built, but couldn't contain me
Don't trust the government, police, or schools
How could you blame me?
They say the best things in life are free, that's liberation
So it's no wonder why they all about incarceration
New Jim Crow, get up on it
