Click here for lyrics to the original Drinking from the Sun [Intro Sampled] Heres where you can find the good life in the sun [Verse 1 Suffa] I lay down my music ten feet from where I lay down Immersed in them beats, short breaks turned to breakdowns Cause when you work where you sleep, you dont sleep Cause you work on them beats till it hurts then you creep Into bed and wake her from her sleep, and shes hurt Cause she worked through the week and hasnt heard not a word nor a peep From the jerk that she keeps in her heart That she forgives when he nurse her to sleep, word its deep Yo, when I peel them lids back and emerge from my sleep I feel so big that I could make a shirt from my sheet A crown from a church steeple, two jeeps for my sneaks So people worship this creep as I surf down the street Im the surgeon of beats, your girl purrs when I speak We rehearse in a church to a circus of freaks We the last ones to lay down, first on our feet So stay down or get hurt by what lurks in the deep Free the perps from the police, we disturbing the peace We flood the streets like a water main burst and released A merciless beast with a thirst for the feast Man we treat every meal like its our first in a week We dispersing the weak, Im the person to beat Man Im unbeatable I can beat a person for weeks We disturbed, we the freaks, we the ones you dont listen to Drinking from the sun, now son were the ones dissing you [Hook Sampled Garnet Mimms] Born in darkness But I fought my way up to the sun Born in darkness But I fought my way up to the sun [Verse 2 Pressure] Were timeless like riders on the storm Survivors like the light that rises in the dawn If crisis makes fighters of the pawns We rise up through the night as lifeless and were born Fight in my heart, suicide with my art Till I depart Im a write until I light up the dark These are battle songs that lift you from your catatonic fixture And I can walk on water but I stagger on the liquor This aint a Saturday sport or matinee talk With throw away sentences like the magistrates court Scratch that, now hear me out, attacks dont give me doubt I drop a powerhouse track black the city out And when we lose it let the mood of music reach us Coming through the tunes that free us, revolution through your speakers The third rock never stops, the world turns Eyes glued to the clock as we watch the world burn [Hook Sampled Garnet Mimms] Born in darkness But I fought my way up to the sun Born in darkness But I fought my way up to the sun [Verse 3 Pressure] Renegades whenever on centre stage Thats my sweat upon the letters I bled on the pen and page Cmon, so whats your rhyming worth? Better get a lawyer cause I could crucify your verse just to get a point across Weve been refining and grinding till late night Why? Cause even stars lose their shine in the day light Linked as one just think what well become Its begun and wont stop till were drinking from the sun
