===========================================
Face The Sun  
===========================================

I used to do a lot of things wrong
Now I do a lot less wrong
At least I think I do
But it’s hard to know it’s true
I used to get a little on the side
I used to use the base of my pride
To glide into the rooms of the palace
I used to use my pride as a ballast
I grew my hair out big sometimes
Act like a pig sometimes
Now I don’t care about the twigs and mimes
Just the beats and rhymes
Most of the time

But now I face the sun
When the day is done
I am the one
I turn to to be all right
I face the sun
I don’t hide away
Cause you can’t hide away
From yourself they say
And I believe it
I believe it

I used to roll around with the wrong crew
I used to do what the young folks do
I used to sneak around in the shadow
With the sneaky bitches and the bad hoes
I used to figure how to get crewed up
So I wouldn’t have to get chewed up
I had the wrong directions for a long time

But now I face the sun
When the day is done
I am the one
I turn to to be all right
I face the sun
I don’t hide away
Cause you can’t hide away
From yourself they say
And I believe it
I believe it

I used to tell the truth when it was convenient
Hardly ever said what I mean-ed
I mean I tried my best
But my best wasn’t very good no
I lied my ass off to get what I wanted
But when I got what I wanted
I was haunted
Cause you can’t get away with nothing no no
Yeah
Done with the bullshit uh
Done with the bullshit uh
Done with the bullshit
Done with the bull
Everybody dance

If you wanna dance with me
I’ll dance with you
If you wanna see the sea
I’ll do that too
If you wanna run around in circles
I can run around in circles with
You can let me down
But I won’t fall
You can sell me down the river
But I’ll keep balling ah
You can say things
That’ll make me sad
But you
You can’t give me
What I already have

Oh I ain’t the one
I used to be
Oh not me no no no
I’m not hiding away
Oh oh
I’m in the light
Oh oh
Ah I’m doing all right
Oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah doing ok yeah
I’m facing the sun yeah
Oh oh
And when the day is done
Oh oh
And when the night has come
Oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
I sleep
Show me the teeth in your face
I’ll show you the weight of my base
We’ll show each other God’s grace
No need to run no need to chase
We got what we need right now
No need to run I know how
They say that on TV
But that ain’t for you and me

We face the sun
When the day is done
We’ll be the one
You can say my name
That’ll make us feel all right
We’ll face the sun
We won’t hide away
Face the sun
You can’t get away
Face the sun
Oh they say
