[00:02.35]Everybody wear make-up sometimes man
[00:04.41]
[00:07.26]But you gotta walk outside
[00:08.58]
[00:09.51]And let that rain just wash it off man
[00:11.73]
[00:13.72]Look at what is around you man
[00:15.16]How people got it bad man you know what I'm saying
[00:16.68]
[00:17.58]Say no more I need music to get me by
[00:20.07]Simple beats simple life and a simple rhyme
[00:22.43]Momma taught me to hustle for piece of mind
[00:24.75]Never thought I'd get caught in this long line
[00:27.41]For the truth I don't worship a stone or shrine
[00:29.90]Put my faith in the pen now let me fly
[00:32.20]Through the wind of the rhythm I hold tight
[00:34.75]On the streets of Seattle in cold nights
[00:37.13]Father give me the strength to continue
[00:39.50]Over see all the prayers I send you
[00:42.05]My heart's open to people who love back
[00:44.51]Put my soul in a song am I wrong for that
[00:46.91]Never was some how I still catch flak
[00:49.43]If agreeing why they fight over white or black
[00:51.83]Keep the vision of peace but I still shoot
[00:54.31]I'm a rebel for reasons you won't prove
[00:57.07]Just look at the sunshine
[00:58.72]In the morning when you wake up
[01:01.31]
[01:01.89]Go stand in the rain
[01:03.21]And let it wash off all your make-up
[01:05.92]
[01:06.95]Pick up a flower la la la
[01:09.47]Look at a rainbow
[01:11.01]La la la la la la
[01:12.45]Even the lightning and the thunder
[01:14.67]What we here for
[01:15.98]
[01:16.76]When this get to heavy to carry sometimes
[01:19.02]I break down and just let it fall from my eye
[01:21.63]Even though it still hurt when I get back up on my feet
[01:24.35]To see that nobody's seen me cry
[01:26.45]Waters waters a Havel for pain
[01:28.59]Devil he came and he walked in the skies
[01:31.24]But I throw it the opposite name
[01:33.51]Reason I came to open up your eyes
[01:36.06]And whatever I say know that I mean well
[01:39.17]
[01:39.68]Every last word that I spitted
[01:41.25]This is all I want to be
[01:43.03]So to give you my all
[01:44.16]I make sure it's in every sentence
[01:46.04]This poet ain't fake no
[01:47.82]From the mouth of a fresh spree
[01:49.90]Hot beats so from up under the dirt roads
[01:52.76]And the concrete from my people with no clothes
[01:56.09]Just look at the sunshine
[01:57.51]In the morning when you wake up
[02:00.86]Go stand in the rain
[02:02.17]And let it wash off all your make-up
[02:05.00]
[02:05.95]Pick up a flower la la la
[02:08.37]Look at a rainbow
[02:10.05]La la la la la la
[02:11.97]Even the lightning and the thunder
[02:13.68]What we here for
[02:14.97]
[02:15.73]So many times I thought of suicide
[02:17.97]Giving up is the easiest way to die
[02:20.59]Put my life in the barrel
[02:21.80]And go to sleep
[02:23.00]Never witness the birth of my own seed
[02:25.47]Never had the will power to graduate
[02:27.81]Went to too many schools to keep an A
[02:30.39]Carry pipes in my bag
[02:31.76]Smoking at lunch
[02:32.82]Away from reality all at once
[02:35.32]I saw momma outside on the porch crying
[02:37.66]Saying she can't pay the rent
[02:39.05]But she really trying
[02:40.30]Would I be embarrassed to get food stamps
[02:42.61]Daddy never came home from the school dance
[02:44.85]
[02:45.45]Ashamed of the way that I been feeling
[02:47.72]Selfish enough to give up on living
[02:50.03]When she made it this far
[02:51.73]Working at a bar
[02:53.17]With no where to turn but the sunshine
[02:55.20]Just look at the sunshine
[02:56.72]In the morning when you wake up
[02:59.91]Go stand in the rain
[03:01.23]And let it wash off all your make-up
[03:03.85]
[03:05.02]Pick up a flower la la la
[03:07.42]Look at a rainbow
[03:09.11]La la la la la la
[03:10.70]Even the lightning and the thunder
[03:12.74]What we here for
[03:13.83]
[03:14.93]Just look at the sunshine
[03:16.46]In the morning when you wake up
[03:18.81]
[03:19.62]Go stand in the rain
[03:20.97]And let it wash off all your make-up
[03:23.83]
[03:24.78]Pick up a flower la la la
[03:27.16]Look at a rainbow
[03:28.85]La la la la la la
[03:30.25]Even the lightning and the thunder
[03:32.47]What we here for
