Bright As The Sun Lyrics

Starlight 

Starbright 

First star I see tonight 

I wish I may 

I wish I might 

Get this lick I try to hit tonight.... 


Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 


Everytime I think about it I still can't understand 

What night these niggaz think they don't need a plan 

Cuz if you don't have a plan, then 

Tell me what you got 

The old get rich quick scheme 

Or bust her ass Broc 

Niggaz be punkin' out loc 

Dyin' over nothin' 

It's the ghetto witchdoctor with another loco potion 

Hickory 

Dickory 

Thievory 

Trickory 

Povorty 

Misory 

Pleads to insanoty 

Homocide 

Rivalry 

Garnd theft buglory 

Purgory 

Emergency surgory 

A.P.B. 

They lookin' for a G 

You ran through a field 

Hopped a fence 

And climbed a tree 

9-1-1 

Here they come for him 

Nigga wit' a gun 

Now your ass is done 

Ain't nowhere to hide 

Ain't nowhere to run 

Cuz the helicopter light's as bright as the sun.... 


(Chorus) 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Bright as the sun 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Shinin' down on me 

Bright as the sun 



It seems nowadays 

Just to get some respect 

Ya gots to roll a Lex and collect a fat check 

Or come around the corner on 3 Hobbit 

Blockin' up the street 

Flossin' back on your keys 

An' everybody's sayin' you're the man loc 

Never broke 

An' high off that pream old smoke 

Sippin' in the seat 

Rollin' in the ragtop Chevy '63 

The p.i.m.p. 

On top of the game 

But now you're gettin' laid 

Cuz that gak weed o' yay is playin' tricks on your brain 

You're lookin' for a way out 

Before your game play out 

Cuz once you game play out 

Ya lose all ya' kriz out 

Late one night you was rollin' down the block 

With a half a pint of yat and the twenty dollar rock 

One-time got behind you and they told you to stop 

But you kept rollin' cuz ya said you wasn't broke 

Out like a sucka 

You dumb mothafucka 

Now the chase is on 

An' here go the song 

How the hell do you think you can run 

When the helicopter light's as bright as the sun 



-Chorus- 



Lockdown since the '80 situation number three, a 

Nigga is released from the penitentary 

Fools betta recognize 

An' visualize 

Don't be suprized 

Ya betta realize 

They gotta plan fo' your ass, a 

Cage for the mask, so 

If you're rollin' dirty ya then ya betta have a stash 

Spot in your whoopty 

An' know the whoompty whoofty 

When the whoompty whafty is done unto you, see 

He don't know the new game 

B'cuz the new game ain't true game 

Well he betta catch her quick 

Becuz the old game is runnin' 

Nine is his waist 

That's the new game loc, cuz 

If you ain't heated then you might get smoked 

He was walkin' down the street 

Mindin' his business 

Just happy to be free 

And what do we see? 

From the corner of his house 

Here come one-time 

So off he dashed 

Like they set fire to his ass 

Cuz if he get caught 

It's strike number three 

An' this might be his last day on the street 

I bet next time you'll listen when I tell ya son 

That the helicopter light's as bright as the sun 


-Chorus(extended)-
