Sunshine Lyrics
[Intro]
Bongo by the way
[Chorus: Latto]
Pray for my enemies, Lord, I need clarity (Yeah)
They ain't got empathy for me, they stare at me (What?)
They used my couch when they needed the therapy (Shh)
Took what they needed but never took care of me (Yeah)
They saw a dollar sign, treat me like currency (Brr)
Kill all they hopes and dreams if they want murder me (Yeah, yeah)
Sunshine on me (Uh)
[Post-Chorus: Latto]
Sunshine on me, I just lеt the sunshine on me (Yеah, yeah)
Sunshine on me, I just let the sunshine on me
Sunshine on me, I just let the sunshine on me, yeah, yeah (Oh)
[Verse 1: Latto]
Yeah, pray if they run up, I'ma cut up
Bring out these VV's (Ayy) like the sun up (Yeah)
These niggas Stevie (What?) to the come up
Went got my bread up, let 'em wonder
If I ain't do nothing, I kept it one hundred (Ayy)
Big Latto for real, I ain't never done fronted
They do what they can, bitch, I do what I wanna (Bitch)
Trimmin' they pockets, I told 'em to run it (Run it)
Sunshine on me, every time I leave the crib, I got it on me (Brr)
Got it out the mud, I did it by my lonely (Yeah)
Pop my shit, done being lowkey (Bitch)
Sunshine on me (Ayy)
I ain't giving none these hating bitches no peace (Uh-uh)
Fuck a two cent, you can get a two-piece (Boop, boop)
If I step back, hit you with the .223
[Chorus: Latto]
Pray for my enemies, Lord, I need clarity
They ain't got empathy for me, they stare at me
They used my couch when they needed the therapy
Took what they needed but never took care of me
They saw a dollar sign, treat me like currency
Kill all they hopes and dreams if they want murder me
Sunshine on me (Uh)
[Post-Chorus: Latto]
Sunshine on me, I just let the sunshine on me (Yeah, yeah)
Sunshine on me, I just let the sunshine on me
Sunshine on me, I just let the sunshine on me, yeah, yeah (Oh)
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Uh, pray that they pull up, wish they would've
If he ain't my slime, he a booger
I ain't gon' jook him, I'ma cook him
Sunshine on me, Devin Booker
Them niggas with you, they just lookers
They ain't finna shoot, I'ma swish 'em
Your bitch think I'm cute, I'ma jugg her
She try give me sugar, I'ma mush her
Big B, lil' nigga, Bill Bixby, lil' nigga
Smoke big tree, lil' nigga, we too large to igg me, lil' nigga
This Siggy get jiggy with niggas
Don't make me Will Smith me a nigga
I just told a model, "You only my side ho"
I will put you out, ho, you must think you Latto
I'm all you got, ho, you know I'm the god, ho
The god of the sun and the light like Apollo
Tunechi
[Chorus: Latto]
Pray for my enemies, Lord, I need clarity
They ain't got empathy for me, they stare at me
They used my couch when they needed the therapy
Took what they needed but never took care of me
They saw a dollar sign, treat me like currency
Kill all they hopes and dreams if they want murder me
Sunshine on me
[Verse 3: Childish Gambino]
I love when it's sunny, that boy ain't no dummy
I slide off a gummy, I heard I got money
But still dressing bummy, I'm sweeter than honey
I'm sweeter at rapping like what the fuck happened?
Came back and he's snapping, came back with a passion
These niggas was cappin', they talkin' on me, hmm
I bought a .9 when that COVID hit
She said my Gucci don't go with it
Just tryna be happy, "get money" the motto
My girl hit the lotto, my sons are mulatto
My sons are all healthy, ain't shit you can tell me
I'm hotter than Nelly, they say that I'm smelly
Ain't never smelled wealthy, I think
Yeah, I got mass drip like a sink
Skated, you not in the rink
[Chorus: Latto]
Pray for my enemies, Lord, I need clarity
They ain't got empathy for me, they stare at me
They used my couch when they needed the therapy
Took what they needed but never took care of me
They saw a dollar sign, treat me like currency
Kill all they hopes and dreams if they want murder me
Sunshine on me
[Post-Chorus: Latto, Lil Wayne, Choir]
Sunshine on me, I just let the sunshine on me (Shine, shine, shine)
Sunshine on me, I just let the sunshine on me (I get my shine on, I get my shine on)
Sunshine on me, I just let the sun shine on me, yeah, yeah (I get my shine on, I get my shine on, bitch, I'm the golden child)
On me

What did Latto say about "Sunshine"?
We didn’t record in the studio together, so we didn’t get to work hand in hand, but my team sent them the open verses. I was pretty much just shooting for the stars, like, “I hope they can do it. If not, no pressure. I understand.” But they both actually sent verses back, so that was super cool. A C...
How would Latto describe the song's sound?
It’s very artistic. It’s a fresh sound, fresh topic. It feels good. I personally think this sound on “Sunshine” could be a movie soundtrack, or on a TV show. It just feels so good. I could see it being background music for so many different scenes, and I think it’s very commercial. Your grandma can...
What have the artists said about the song?
I still can’t even believe that I got them both on the song. I had originally recorded it as a solo song, but I felt like it was bigger than me. I wanted a feature on it. So, I’m thinking out loud. I’m thinking of very ‘artistic’ artists. I want somebody who has a universal sound and someone who can...
