Sunshine for a Youngin’

[Verse 1: Michael Kraun]
I try to fall asleep but I keep thinking about the universe
I spit the truest verse; future stuck in full reverse
Feel like I'm surrounded by so many narcissists
Shaky like Parkinson’s
Swapping out desks for coffins at offices
Parties full of awkwardness, often just in my own head
Wonder whether I'll be alone till I'm dead
But instead of trying to see things on the bright side
I get sad and I write rhymes
Still try not to complain bout things like wifi
As I, deal with train delays and feel insane today
Out there in the world, hopefully someone feels the same
Tell me does anybody feel like this country needs to change?
Focus on saving the earth instead of trying to make it rain
(So what you saying?)
Maybe I should disappear completely
So deep in the woods even the NSA can’t reach me
Away from the bigotry, away from the ignorance
I'm sick of feeling guilty for being innocent

[Chorus: Spade]
Leave a little bit of sunshine for a youngin'
25 years I've been searching for something
Think I'm going crazy, I don't know if I can function
But when I get old, will my story be told?
Leave a little bit of sunshine for a youngin'
It been raining daily New York City feel like London
Looking back on life and I feel like I did nothing
But when I get old will my story be told?

[Verse 2: Michael Kraun]
The sun shining on my eyes, kinda like my alarm
25 years ago I was born to become a god
Then the feeling was gone, no longer, now it's stronger than ever
They may have the stronger armor but I have the stronger weapon
And my weapon is tremendous, I reload it every second
My weapon is my voice, spreading the message to foster
Enlightenment, even to idle men and trump supporters
Who say we ain’t entitled to the life that we were offered
A part of me wishes we were still in the basement
Cause now we navigate through snake bitches and hidden racists
And Instagram celebrities marketing product placement
We’re all products of this fake shit
Somebody gotta say it
Somebody gotta acknowledge all this lack of information
In this age of information
Where we pay for litigation
Only to find the critics have arranged our defamation
No matter how you play you can't escape the situation

[Chorus: Spade]
Leave a little bit of sunshine for a youngin’
25 years I've been searching for something
Think I'm going crazy, I don't know if I can function
But when I get old, will my story be told?
Leave a little bit of sunshine for a youngin’
It been raining daily New York City feel like London
Looking back on life and I feel like I did nothing
But when I get old will my story be told?

[Verse 3: Michael Kraun]
The night returning, I'm lying in bed so wide awake
Overwhelming sadness, don't know how much I can take
What do normal people do when they get sad like this?
Mad like this? Asking how can any happiness exist?
And yet they have the nerve to ask me why I rap like this!?
Why everyday is groundhog day and I feel trapped like this?
Just a hopeless kid spitting his rhymes
While I shut my eyes and reminisce about a simpler time
Maybe it wasn't that simple, just that we'd improvise
Not distribute lies, but be honest ‘bout how we feel inside
Looking for heroes in everyday people
But nah this ain't Comic Con
We all just got costumes on
Pretending our problems are gone, what a facade
What a mirage
Appreciate the beauty, acknowledge the flaws
That's the only way to live truthful
You create your own rules or let this world rule you, yours truly

[Chorus: Spade & Michael Kraun]
Leave a little bit of sunshine for a youngin'
25 years I've been searching for something
Think I'm going crazy, I don't know if I can function
But when I get old, will my story be told?
Leave a little bit of sunshine for a youngin'
It been raining daily New York City feel like London
Looking back on life and I feel like I did nothing
But when I get old will my story be told?

[Outro]
Will my story be told?
Will my story be told?
(When I, when I...)
Will my story be told?
Will my story be told?
(When I, when I...)
When I get old... Will my story be told? Yeah...
