Coolio - Sunshine Lyrics

Imagine looking at life through rose-tinted glasses
And the policy of the people is passive
And all the women got fat asses
And all the homies got dubs and deeds to spend
And when the po-po's pass, they wave and say, "Hi"
And wear a grin and everybody that you meet is a potential friend

And the women in your life love you for yourself and not your ends
And the population's real, so there's no reason to pretend
And ignore we are the same, so no one hates you for the color of your skin
And every waking thought is one of peace and harmony and bliss
That simple satisfaction like a plate of eggs and grits
Senses fully alive like the feeling of a first kiss

And when it's check out time, you got a smile on your lips, huh
And the whole world is like a next-door neighbor
Quick to do you a favor even though we come in a million different flavors
And I know there's not enough time to put it all in one rhyme
So I savor the flavor and sweet taste
I feel from the rays of the sunshine

I'm sittin in the sunshine, the sunshine
Like the world was mine, the sunshine
I'm walkin in the sunshine, the sunshine
Like the world was mine, the sunshine

If love was a flower, I'd spread the petals about the planet
And plant seeds throughout every city and country
Even in those who do not want me
I try to make some sense of the situation that we call life
Some verbal illustration to help ease this strife

Some lyrical penetration to try to make things right
In hopes that what I'm saying can saturate your mind-frame
And help you with the pain and the strain
Of the everyday struggle
I don't need it all, I
