Down on the corner there's a
Horn playing Summertime
As if the melody could
Cause a change in the sky
I hear it loud and cleary
When the weatherman speaks
Says it go'n keep on raining
Everyday this week
So I dress like it's summer
When it's fifty degrees
And I told you honey I need
Sunshine please
I can't escape your violence
And I can't trust the police
Skies up above won't you give me
Sunshine please
And on the corner a stray bullet is fired
And someone's caught in between
And I'm finding it harder and harder
To believe in anything
But I hear it loud and clearly yeah
When the?? speak
It could happen anytime
And the next one could be me
So I dress like it's summer
When it's fifty degrees
Well I told you honey
I need sunshine please
I can't escape your violence
And I can't trust the police
Skies up above won't you give me
Sunshine
I turned the tomb
I can't read the news
And I don't want to be uninvolved
But what am I to do?
It might sound crazy to you
Clocking the guys like I do
Well my?? condition
Is making this prison a????
So I dress like it's summer
When it's fifty degrees
And I told you honey I need
Sunshine please
I can't escape your violence
And I can't trust the police
Skies up above won't you give me
Sunshine please
So I dress like it's summer
When it's fifty degrees
Well I told you honey I need
Sunshine please
I can't escape your violence
And I can't trust the police
Skies up above won't you give me
Sunshine please
