Under the Sun

I had a dream - of the wide open prairie

I had a dream - of the pale morning sky

And we were the same - just the same - you an' I.

We are like birds of a feather

We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one...

My brother under the sun.

Mic check, mic check, mic check, mic check

Mic check, 1, 2, 1, 2.

Ol' head said reality is fake an' fake's the new real

Nuttin' but strive to me, but takin' a few pills.

Ain't try'nna be the dude that's raisin' the blue steal

Vic's help me escape, they give me a new feel.

Unedited, ay'day is a newsreel, some cake an' a few bills

Honestly, all it'll take is a few mill (for what?)

For me not ta' have ta' portray no true skill (but!)

But lemme' jus' watch what I say, the truth kills.

(So) Be careful what'chu wish for

If I totally ignore it, I might withdraw.

I used ta' be pissed-off, piss-poor

Money crisp-poor, (it was) like this short.

It was kinda' hard ta' get the whole puzzle workin' wit' half a jigsaw

I got mine, let me help you get yours wit'out gettin' ripped off.

I left a trail nigga, follow it

An' when it's gone, make a new one, don't remodel shit.

Oh!

We are like birds of a feather

We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one...

My brother under the sun.

Make ya own mutha'fuckin' footsteps nigga, don't follow mine!

Huh!? I got great problems though, my problems are good!

L-Look, look, look...

New suit, dude nervous (what else?)

Ol' case, new judge, new verdict (what else?)

A new outcome like somebody reversed it

(I mean I'm) I feel like I'm a new man, a new purpose.

(Oh!) It's like a nigga ain't feelin' so worthless

Kneel down an' worship, all them years was worth it.

So when he opened his mouth, I was stunned

He said, "You can't deny man his son." Be clear.

So if he wanna be there, you let 'em be there

Be fair, I mean, I can see he wants ta' be near.

I can see that he cares

I'll lock your ass up you don't oblige, be-ware. (I mean it)

She stared, she scared.

My lil' dude always get the World from me

An' you want 'em ta' have the World, jus' not from me.

Back like I never left, was never forced away

Got nuttin' more ta' say. Oh!

We are like birds of a feather

We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one...

My brother under the sun.

When I see you I'm disgusted (nigga!)

Can't believe I was ever in love wit' (nigga!)

Must've been dusted, 'cause you look like shit

All these years, they ain't done you no justice. (Look at'chu!)

I mean you all fucked up, can't get cash

Still bitter over a badge you can't get passed. (Huh?!)

Jus' sad, get mad 'cause my bitch bad

Everyday she switch heels, switch bags. (Whoa!)

It's like we livin' on a dock nigga, big pad

You can't afford a deposit on my closet. (Not even)

Since you, all I ever known was fly shit

Unfortunately, you ain't fittin' that logic.

'Cause you're much less

Sometimes you gotta' stand by your failures to recognize your success.

Still, I'll be the bigger man an' wish her all the best

While knowin' she'll never get it

So why would she ever quit it, it's ridiculous.

We are like birds of a feather

We are two hearts joined together

We will be forever as one...

My brother under the sun.
