When The Sun Shines Again Common & Pete Rock (Ft. Posdnuos)

[Intro]
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine

[Chorus: Bilal]
When the sun shines again
(Sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win
(Sunshine, sunshine)
When the sun shines again
(Sunshine, sunshine)
We are one, we will win
(Sunshine)

[Verse 1: Common]
I was born, son of Mahalia, so I received the gospel
Told to go spell it and bring it back to Chicago
Rap's du Sable for the street apostles
The big payback for the dollar that I borrowed
Bust raps for tomorrow
Where the guns clap and go bravo
My pops was a genie living in the bottle
Light and dark in us, our own vitiligo
In Pentecostal Chicago, bravado and bravery
We went from cargo and slavery
To God flow they pay to see
And took agency for what we made to be
With no reservations, I sit niggas down like a maitre d'
Money ain't swaying me, that's the Dave in me
Some took shots over bars, they ain't grazin' me
The way I move from A to B, they hate to see
The heart can sing a song for me to live gratefully
