[Verse 1]Imagine looking at life through rose-tinted glasses |
|
And the policy of the people is passive |
|
And all the women got fat asses |
|
And all the homies got dubs and deeds to spend |
|
And when the po-po's pass they wave and say "hi" |
|
And wear a grin (hey) |
|
And everybody that you meet is a potential friend |
|
And the women in your life love you for yourself and not your ends |
|
And the population's real so there's no reason to pretend |
|
And ignore we are the same, so no one hates you for the colour of your skin |
|
And every waking thought is one of peace and harmony and bliss |
|
That simple satisfaction like a plate of eggs and grits |
|
Senses fully alive like the feeling of a first kiss |
|
And when it's check out time you got a smile on your lips, huh |
|
And the whole world is like a next-door neighbour |
|
Quick to do you a favour even though we come in a million different flavours |
|
And I know there's not enough time to put it all in one rhyme |
|
So I savour the flavour and sweet taste |
|
I feel from the rays of thesunshine[Chorus - Woman singing] |
|
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm sittin in the sunshine |
|
The sunshine, like the world was mine, the sunshine |
|
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm walkin in the sunshine |
|
The sunshine, like the world was mine, the sunshine[Verse 2] |
|
If love was a flower |
|
I'd spread the petals about the planet |
|
And plant seedsthroughout every city and country |
|
Even in those who do not want me |
|
I try to make some sense of the situation that we call life |
|
Some, verbal illustration to help ease this strife |
|
Some, lyrical penetration to try to make things right |
|
In hopes that what |
|
I'm saying can saturate your mindframe |
|
And help you with the pain and the strain of the everyday struggle |
|
I don't need it all, |
|
I |
