Sunshine - The Team, Goapele

I tell you 'bout the places I’ve seen

You would’ve loved Amsterdam ma, it’s legal weed (can you believe that)

I could see it clear as day smoking wood-genear

For those who listen, let me tell you why our love is so deep (break

It down)

I was born on the 2nd of June to Ruth Ann

The final pregnancy, out of 7 that bad (miscarriages)

Really it was 6, I was 7th I was the last (I was the last)

Pushed me out took me to 73rd Ave

That’s where I got it bad, I’m in love with a good woman

A good person, the closest thing to perfect (Mama)

But I ain’t called for nothing this call ain’t got a purpose

Cause every moment we spend

I gotta tell you that it’s worth it

LOVE YA

I can’t take back the times

There was once I wasn’t there for you

I’ve been dreamin' of sunshine

Summer days I spend 'em with you

I never could go back

So take me for all I am

And all that we’ve been through

What up Kzaheer, (what up boy boy)

Come here for a second

Put down your toy truck lend your head for a second (listen)

They stressing, lot of late night shows and late night sessions

I was looking at you, my face reflecting

And though you have questions and in need of some answers

'02 pops passed, victim of cancer (that's your grandpa)

I knew he would’ve spoiled you

He grew up a bastard (jeez)

Learned how to balance life with cries and laughter (real talk)

A year before I had you we reconciled

I was Susanville lock you traveled 800 miles (mmhmm)

For a 4 hour visit, damn it’s wild (it's wild)

Cause now I see how deep the love between a father and child

What compares to a star, born from the moon

Yeah we getting dough now, even touring in June

But I’m more juiced when you learn to eat with a spoon (that's big)

Yeah all I do is for you, you’ll be seeing her soon

I can’t take back the times

There was once I wasn’t there for you

I’ve been dreamin' of sunshine

Summer days I spend 'em with you

I never could go back

So take me for all I am

And all that we’ve been through

Hello Pops (Wussup Pops?)

I know it’s been a few

2 years, couple months since I’ve spoken to you (been a while)

No tension upon us, we grown up men

I understand it wasn’t planned for you bringing me in (I was no mistake)

In and out of my life, I think you left at five

Took till I was 13 to open my eyes (had to grow up)

Realized I had to get grown quick

Move on quick and help mom’s so she can pay rent (had to help mom’s too)

And I admit you came through

4th quarter crunch time (came through though)

Supporting times when I couldn’t afford a dime (uh huh)

You see me on my grind (yea)

Yeah I chose to rhyme

I’m good at it, I stood at it, it took time (took time)

Yes your son is blessed

You’re the sun not the rest

I’m gon make you proud of me when I reach success (I'mma make it pops

Fa’real)

I overcame the past, Pops let it be the past (let it be the past)

It only matters that I’m your son and you my dad

I can’t take back the times

There was once I wasn’t there for you

I’ve been dreamin' of sunshine

Summer days I spend 'em with you

I never could go back

So take me for all I am

And all that we’ve been through
