Explain Sunshine

“EXPLAIN SUNSHINE” (Intro) Yeah… They always ask… “Why they call you Sunshine?” Lemme tell ’em… (Hook) They ask me why they call me Sunshine… ‘Cause I learned how to glow through the rain time. Lost so many people, still I stand tall, Got a smile that’ll echo through the darkest hall. Sunshine… I ain’t never been perfect, I just never quit. Every scar got a lesson, every bruise got grit. If you wanna know me, don’t look at my shine… Look at every storm that created Sunshine. (Verse 1) I done walked through fires people never even seen, Broken homes, broken hearts, nightmares in my dreams. Had every reason just to hate this whole life, But I chose to build gardens with the cuts from the knife. Lost my people, cried rivers nobody could hear, Still wiped my face, kept pushin’ every single year. Learned real quick life don’t play fair, Sometimes love disappears like it was never there. But every sunrise whispered, “Get up again.” So I turned all my pain into paper and pen. Now my words hit souls like medicine do, Maybe somebody survives because they made it through. (Hook) They ask me why they call me Sunshine… ‘Cause I learned how to glow through the rain time. Lost so many people, still I stand tall, Got a smile that’ll echo through the darkest hall. (Verse 2) I’m the one that’ll stop when nobody else will, Give my last dollar if it helps somebody heal. Heart too big, that’s probably my flaw, Still believe in people after everything I saw. Love a man behind walls, yeah the world think it’s strange, But love ain’t measured by somebody’s chain. They only see the sentence, I see the soul, Sometimes broken hearts make the strongest whole. Building dreams from the ground with nothing but faith, Turning every setback into something great. Millionaire mindset with a notebook full of scars, Trying to leave little pieces of hope in the stars. (Bridge) Sunshine ain’t happiness… It’s surviving. It’s getting knocked down… And still deciding… That tomorrow deserves another smile. (Final Hook) So if you ever wonder why they call me Sunshine… It ain’t because my life was ever all fine. It’s ’cause the night threw everything it had… And somehow I still found light to give back. Yeah… That’s Sunshine. Not because life was easy… Because I refused… To let the darkness have the last word.
