chorus
Oh, how the day can be so long
I say, hey, sunshine (hey, sunshine)
Oh, how the day can be so long
verse
Just another nigga dead, just another nigga dead
Send another to the Feds, send another to the Feds
Not guilty, still I'm filthy
In Fox eyes, we the dark side
verse
CNN, Don Lemon, no Kweli when you meet me
You gotta see what Chief Keef see
Brenda's baby next door to the candy lady
Same project as candy man where they still doing hand-in-hands
verse
Sunday to Sunday, pastor only want one day
But God can't hear it over gun play (woo)
Still a target, but the badge is the new noose
Yeah, we all see it, but cellphones ain't enough proof
chorus
Oh, how the day can be so long
I say, hey, sunshine (hey, sunshine)
Oh, how the day can be so long
verse
I don't got no march in me, I can't turn the other cheek
While they testing your patience, they just testing my reach
Funeral flowers, every 28 hours
Sworn to protect and serve, but who really got the power?
verse
Looking over their allowances
Building prisons where the mountains is
Laptops is for the county kids
Metal detectors is where ours is
They'll never re-write this, like they re-wrote history
The fact that the Statue of Liberty was black is a goddamn mystery
verse
Just another nigga dead, just another nigga dead
Send another to the Feds, send another to the Feds
They call in the National Guard
Public Enemy, I am Chuck D
Flavor Flav in Louis V, but I'm Huey P (woo)
The new elite, it's either you or me
Let the sun shine, 'cause their dark clouds try to ruin me
bridge
It's more and more and more than Baltimore
From shore to shore, oh, lord
Patience torn, patience gone, oh lord
