[Intro][beat akin to Atmosphere's "Sunshine" starts]
Yeah... sometimes life feels just right
When the weather matches your mood
And the beat feels like home
(Verse)
Woke up this morning with the sun in my face
No clouds in the sky, got no problems to chase
Seventh day of the week but it feels like the eighth day
Of a dope vacation where the work couldn't catch me
Ant on the boards cooking beats that connect me
To feelings I buried, now they're rising like bread dough
New York cold couldn't follow me west though
Now I'm cruising down Sunset with the windows open
Breathing in freedom like it's pure dopamine
Pacific whispers stories while the waves hit the shoreline
No weighted thoughts, just light on my shoulders
Each day's a painting, and I'm holding the folder
[Chorus]
The sun shines even when it's gray
California keeps the blues away
When life's good I can feel it in my bones
Every corner feels a little like home
Each moment stretched out like taffy(Its fine)
Making every second feel more happy(sunshine)
Sunshine state of mind, right on time(It's fine)
The kind of day that makes you feel fine(So fine)
[Verse]
Traded snowy cities for palm trees and sand
Got a forty in my backpack, notebook in hand
Writing verses by the boardwalk, watching life unfold
Skaters,dreamers with stories untold
Like that Godlovesugly feeling turned upside down(O-side)
Where struggle meets beauty in this seaside town(you know)
Slug taught me honesty makes the pen flow better(let's go)
So I'm letting it all out like an unsent letter
To myself from myself about mental health
Finding peace in the sunshine is the greatest wealth
No sad raps today, just gratitude flowing(7 6 O)
For the California sky and the seeds I'm sowing
[Bridge]
Sometimes happiness is just a moment caught in time(let it shin
Sometimes family is just the friends you find
When you're far from home but feeling at peace
When the day moves slow but your mind found release
When the sunshine hits you just right
turns shadows into light
[Verse]
They say rain follows me, but not in LA
Got that Yesterday feeling without yesterday's pain
The weather's perfect, got that West Coast swing
Locals nodding approval at the words that I sing
In my headphones, Atmosphere classics on repeat
Their honesty and soul got me back on my feet
Now I'm writing my own chapter with California ink
Sipping on life with a permanent drink
Of vitamin D and coastal serenity
No limit to the good vibes, no end to the amenities
Found myself in sunshine after years in the gray
This is what it feels like when life goes your way
(Outro)
So wherever you go, whatever you do
Remember sunshine can find you too
In your heart, in your mind
that California sunshine
Sunshine sunshine
Its fine
Feel it on my skin warming up my mind
Sunshine sunshine
Its fine
Feel it on my skin warming up my mind
yeah
sunshine sunshine
it's fine
feel it on my skin warming up my mind
sometimes you have to give in
oh man I love the days when it shines so let it shine
