[Intro]
Sunkissed, sunkissed, sunkissed
Sunkissed, sunkissed, uh
[Verse 1]
Baby, you Black on both sides
Like midnight with no porch lights
You was young and wanna learn what the streets like
But mama told you make it home before the streetlights
Oh, you never listen, unh-uh
I love how Black boys shine, I love how Black boy glisten
You're like soul food on a Sunday
Old schools down the one way
Treat the world like your runway
And pray they pay you back someday
But tell 'em keep their 40 acres
American Dreams and other shit they made up
'Cause I gotcha—if nobody else gotcha, I gotcha
[Chorus]
I swear you've been kissed by the—
You must have been kissed by the—
You sho' ain't been missed by the—
Swear you've been kissed by the sun
I swear that you've been the one
I promise, you're sunkissed
[Verse 2]
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
They never know how much I love you
Police you and judge you, but don't take my sunshine away
Don't take my sunshine away
They love taking my sunshine away
Never know how much I love you, but don't take my sunshine away
Black like Granny house on the weekends
Had little cousins, ain't no telling where you sleeping—y'all made it work
Sunday morning, y'all late to church—but you made it there
You're Black like Grandma's Hands, wrapped up in Grandma's prayers
You are my Rhythm and Blues, the one who invented the cool
The one's who dented the rules
And showed the world what my niggas could do, ayy
[Chorus]
I swear you've been kissed by the—
You must have been kissed by the—
You sho' ain't been missed by the—
Swear you've been kissed by the sun
I swear that you've been the one
I promise, you're sunkissed

What did Rayana Jay say about "Sunkissed"?
When I started writing “Sunkissed,” I knew I wanted it to be a song about black skin, black men, black love; an ode. I didn’t want to say the basic ‘I love you because you do this,’ I wanted to write a song that said, instead, ‘I love you because you ARE this and so much more.’ I feel like we don’t...
