The Appreciation. (Feat. SHANTÉH, Jodie Jo’ & DWY)

[Intro: Jodie Jo’]

“Woooooo.”

[Verse 1: Jodie Jo’]

Son of a loaded pistol
Aim it and hope it miss you
Say you “don’t know” to get through
Blame it on coping issues
They say that the cold’ll hit you much different
When you don’t do igloos
When they rain come and soak your tennis shoe
Will you faint or get a hold of inner you?
Get a day to sit and hold you an interview
‘Bout the pain you never told us entered you
On the cable you won’t find the star inside you
Different styles of your hair
Won’t make a difference for yo trials baby
Go self reflect
The kind that don’t require style baby
Trust me just once
I never been the one to lie cause, baby
I talk to God, I ain’t just put that in my bio babies

[Rise - SHANTÉH]

Sunshine
I’m bringing you sunshine
I’m bringing you sunshine
I’m bringing you sunshine

Sunshine
I’m bringing you sunshine
I’m bringing you sunshine

[Verse 2: Jodie Jo’]

Bring me, sunshine one time
California breeze
These days remind me of my youth I had
Pneumonia breathing
In a hospital, obstacle lasted 12 years
Mucus around my lungs, straight congested like
Lines to sell gear, for the virus preparation
I been prepared since slavery, still need them
Reparations, ahead of my time, been here before
So if I die from pandemic
Make sure you hear my quote
If being inside make you livid
Then you ain’t lived before
Sendin’ prayers to them women
Who pregnant with children
Rest in peace, the old
Press the TV’s on button
Blessed to see a show like Martin
Temporary relief
It’s folk out losing they family
Y’all trippin’ ‘bout a cleat
That ain’t runnin’ or a team that ain’t dunking
Due to possible deaths
Are y’all truly that incomplete?

[Chorus - SHANTÉH]

I stay shining in the east
Adding yellow to your darkest sky
Even in your feral times
So even I come through
And wake you
Don’t hate me
I’m peering through the holes in your blinds
Joy comes up with the morning light
I’m the sunshine in your wintertime

[Rise - SHANTÉH & DWY]

Sunshine
I’m bringing you sunshine

Sunshine

Sunshine
I’m bringing you sunshine
I’m bringing you sunshine
