Sunkissed Child - D Smoke, Jill Scott, Iguocho

Soaking up game from a O.G.

Plenty niggas know me and most of them just wanna feed dinner

To their miniatures, but the Minotaur manure

That they endure daily make the home seem chiller

Cold stares from their very own while feet pitter-

Patter 'cross the floor, and even 'fore he speaks gibber-

Ish plus the lyrics of his favorite deliver

Remand, he sayin' what he hear, so speak clearer

Instead of being raised by cartoons

Ya little mans a fan of rap songs, he bein' raised by tunes

Where the spirit of the lyrics don’t deposit him with jewels

And you workin' late hours, so now he actin' up in school (Yeah)

And the teacher’s overwhelmed, she doesn’t ask enough

To move them young souls forward, they steady backin' up

When passin' out passion, I swear, we need our rations up

And this journey is certain to bring us back to love, uh

Just a touch (One touch)

Of love (Of love, a little bit)

More than a little bit, we could win on some simple shit

Keep showin' love, we could benefit, especially if you sun-kissed

Sun-kissed child, how dare they treat you rude?

I’ll Hershey kiss your wounds

I do see you

Ooh-ooh-woo, uh-huh, huh (Listen)

She put that on everything that she love, wedding ring and a hub'

With me, she livin' a dream, but that wasn’t quite what it was

Knew when she got that ring that her family would level up

Like, «Why we just settle down?

Now we just settled up»

Still wrestlin' with addiction, knew hubby ain’t said enough

He just handed her the pipe, looked at her and said, «A puff

Will take you places you can’t imagine or fathom», a drug

Is such a terrible word

Let’s say this little substance can numb the pain (Numb the pain)

Wait, come again?

(Come again?)

We got everything to lose, what you tryna gain?

(Tryna gain)

He said, «This can bring us closer, we gettin' older

Just let go and lean on my shoulder like summer rain»

So she put that little rock in the openin'

Hopin' that gesture would demonstrate commitment while they both were findin'

forever and inhale

Took her to Heaven and then Hell, but meant well

Sun-kissed child, how dare they treat you rude?

I’ll Hershey kiss your wounds

I do see you

Ooh-ooh-woo, uh-huh, huh

Sun-kissed child, I’ll never, ever walk away from you

That’s somethin' I just couldn’t do

You’re not invisible, you’re not invisible, I see you

And everything you go through

Sun-kissed child of mine

I’m here now and down the line

For all time, for all time, you hear?

Watch those parasites and watch all those hypocrites

Stay in the light, just stay in the light

Stay in the light

Stay in the light

Sun-kissed child, how dare they treat you rude?

I’ll Hershey kiss your wounds

I do see you (Just a touch of love, a little bit)

Ooh-ooh-woo, uh-huh, huh

I see you

I see you

Every day God is born

He find himself in human form

He denies himself to find true wealth within

In his tribe, his health is prized possession

Sin is diverting from the rugged path that leads to the truth

And he is I and I am we
