Lyrics for Sunny Storms
Mmm, De La Sunny days Sunny days Hey, sunny side up, awake to pride and I Stretch my prayers right up beside the sky And that's the god Preem without the suit But don't get it twist up, he's still supreme to you Bo Heights in the big city where we launch from Living in a skin placed under the gun But on a straight path, never a detour Surviving in life's paint, that's what we for Taking a knee for synergy reset Check out the energy we get The three-man plan help ya come out changed, forever better Mute the noise like a silencer, making a pistol hiss See the blessings given you a way to take a crisis in midlife Turn it to a chrysalis As we got older, we talked healthier Loud attitude, crave to be stealthier We cooked up an oath, putting an emphasis on growth With a friendship that won't budge Every now and then out of place, we get nudged But we day one fitted, so we stay a day with it Most won't get it Tryna live out their dreams without someone addin' a nightmare And ownin' a right path to walk away from it It's not fairly easy, so some do plummet Gotta learn to evolve outside the lines That's how I do it with mines Tiger eyes under the eyelids at every single view Is what I'm teachin' my kids to skip around the queue No longer waitin' for plates, we used to starve So we allowed to bite off more than we could chew Ayo, Preem, what you gon' do? That verse was the calm, now here's the storm That verse was the calm, now here's the storm That verse was the calm, now here's the storm Well, that's true God's work to live amongst hurt But stay planted in faith in straight form It's a norm to have storms take position in skies With uneasy waters indigenous to lies But behold, there's gold tucked beneath the surface Raised to be on point, but now we on purpose Convert into a seed when rainy days come To leave lessons to learn from No need to grieve for the death of the old you That ushers in change Give birth to better versions for you to claim The best weight loss is losing the opinion Of others with a cross to nail to you for sinnin' They throw stones so that your towel gets thrown in But you let them see you'll forever be sewn in To debate that love has more stamina than hate And shown 'em what we should choose to forsake, but Knowledge isn't here to work on behalf of ego Stormy weather moves through emotions of the people And if they don't find a trace of what they feel in your face They treat you like your actions aren't legal But a cliff will never walk towards you for the fall So plant firmly in where your knee goes to crawl 'Cause how you revel brings the devil to the pie So speak divine of God theory with no need to be high I speak divine of God theory I speak divine of God theory, no need to be high Well, that's true Goy the Dove AKA Dave
