Sunkissed Child - D Smoke/Jill Scott.mp3

[00:07.893]Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, oh
[00:11.162]Just a touch of love
[00:14.155]A little bit
[00:19.904]Say hello to the Ingle-born spitter (Spitter)
[00:21.906]Sing along to the (Ayy) tunes out the womb, got my Pringle on
[00:25.649]Stacking cheddar, chips, they better listen, find they self upon river (Float)
[00:28.656]Floating in the mainstream, thangs seem bitter (Yeah)
[00:31.403]Soaking up game from a O.G.
[00:33.661]Plenty niggas know me and most of them just wanna feed dinner
[00:36.398]To their miniatures, but the Minotaur manure
[00:39.165]That they endure daily make the home seem chiller
[00:41.652]Cold stares from their very own while feet pitter-
[00:44.401]-patter 'cross the floor, and even 'fore he speaks gibber-
[00:46.905]-ish plus the lyrics of his favorite deliver
[00:49.400]Remand, he sayin’ what he hear, so speak clearer
[00:52.151]Instead of being raised by cartoons
[00:54.165]Ya little mans a fan of rap songs, he bein’ raised by tunes
[00:57.398]Where the spirit of the lyrics don’t deposit him with jewels
[00:59.655]And you workin’ late hours, so now he actin’ up in school (Yeah)
[01:02.651]And the teacher’s overwhelmed, she doesn’t ask enough
[01:04.904]To move them young souls forward, they steady backin’ up
[01:07.402]When passin’ out passion, I swear, we need our rations up
[01:09.908]And this journey is certain to bring us back to love, uh
[01:13.586]
[01:13.586]Just a touch (One touch)
[01:15.603]Of love (Of love, a little bit)
[01:17.840]More than a little bit,
[01:19.575]we could win on some simple shit
[01:21.086]Keep showin’ love, we could benefit, especially if you sun-kissed
[01:24.080]Sun-kissed child, how dare they treat you rude?
[01:30.850]I’ll Hershey kiss your wounds
[01:33.346]I do see you
[01:38.599]Ooh-ooh-woo, uh-huh, huh (Listen)
[01:43.581]She put that on everything that she love, wedding ring and a hub’
[01:46.827]With me, she livin’ a dream, but that wasn’t quite what it was
[01:49.592]Knew when she got that ring that her family would level up
[01:51.829]Like, "Why we just settle down? Now we just settled up"
[01:54.597]Still wrestlin’ with addiction, knew hubby ain’t said enough
[01:57.089]He just handed her the pipe, looked at her and said, "A puff
[01:59.589]Will take you places you can’t imagine or fathom", a drug
[02:02.348]Is such a terrible word
[02:03.834]Let’s say this little substance can numb the pain (Numb the pain)
[02:06.353]Wait, come again? (Come again?)
[02:07.596]We got everything to lose, what you tryna gain? (Tryna gain)
[02:09.825]He said, "This can bring us closer, we gettin’ older
[02:12.584]Just let go and lean on my shoulder like summer rain"
[02:15.083]So she put that little rock in the openin’
[02:17.348]Hopin’ that gesture would demonstrate commitment while they both were findin’ forever and inhale
[02:23.836]Took her to Heaven and then Hell, but meant well
[02:26.091]Sun-kissed child, how dare they treat you rude?
[02:33.591]I’ll Hershey kiss your wounds
[02:36.086]I do see you
[02:41.345]Ooh-ooh-woo, uh-huh, huh
[02:46.581]
[02:48.079]Sunkissed child
[02:50.081]I’ll never ever walk away from you
[02:52.584]That’s somethin’ I just couldn’t do
[02:55.578]You’re not invincible, you’re not…invincible, I see you
[03:01.338]And everything you go through
[03:03.578]Sunkissed child of mine
[03:06.338]I’m here now and down the line
[03:09.344]For all time, for all time, you hear?
[03:14.087]Watch those parasites and, watch all those hypocrites
[03:19.835]Stay in the light
[03:22.087]Just…stay in the light
[03:25.579]stay in the light
[03:27.832]stay in the light
[03:28.832]Sunkissed child how dare they treat you rude?
[03:36.085]I’ll Hershey kiss your wounds
[03:38.595]I do see you (Just a touch of love, a little bit)
[03:43.832]Ooh-ooh-woo, uh-huh, huh
[03:49.078]
[03:52.340]I see you
[03:55.846]I see you
[03:57.832]Every day God is born
[04:00.083]He find himself in human form
[04:02.837]He denies himself to find true wealth within
[04:06.585]In his tribe, his health is prized possession
[04:09.344]Sin is diverting from the rugged path that leads to the truth
[04:14.585]And he is I and I am we
