Sunshine

About Sunshine

"(Always Be My) Sunshine" is a hip hop song by American rapper Jay-Z with guest vocals from fellow femcee Foxy Brown and R&B singer-songwriter Babyface who performs the song's chorus. It serves as the first single from his second album In My Lifetime, Vol. 1 (1997). The track features production by Daven "Prestige" Vanderpool. Vanderpool samples MC Lyte's "Cha Cha Cha", Alexander O'Neal's "Sunshine", Kraftwerk's "Man Machine" and The Fearless Four's "Rockin' It" for the track's beat. In addition, George Fonenette plays keyboards on this song. The song's lyrics helped indicate Jay-Z's change from his Mafioso rap style to a more commercial "shiny suit" style. Steve Juon of RapReviews.com supports the song claiming that it is a less gangsta version of The Notorious B. I. G.'s "Me & My Bitch", a well-received track. Jay-Z cites this song as "what killed the album." more »

[Featuring Foxy Brown Babyface] 
Who be in a Japanese restaurant 
Eating sushi 
Drinking saki it's me 
And my mommy with the doobie 
Cutie smelling like Miyaki 
Half Philippine thing 
For now lets call her Suki 
Got me booty banging properly 
In versache pants 
Cocky boot legged stance 
A things of beauty 
Watch me while you crave me 
Firm like Nature Foxy Nas and Az 
Truly reasons to bug the tooty in 
Keep laced and feel them watch you 
But make sure that you're one of a kind 
And you deserve to be my sunshine 
Chorus: 
You touch me with a heart of gold (uh huh) 
I can't go a day without my sunshine (sunshine) 
Touch me with a smile of gold 
I can't go a day without my sunshine 
Sunshine (uh uh uh uh) 
Keep her repressed at all times 
Cats with love, they creep (uh huh) 
Just to say they 
Crept with mine, slept with mine, she said 
I ain't deaf nor blind niggas stress hating 'cause they're less than 
mine 
They want to sex me 
We chose each other 
You acted like you chose me 
They oppose you they oppose me 
We could creep at a low speed 
The gat in the hoisery, double cross you 
They got to triple cross me 
I'm thinking that's the way it's supposed to be 
One more thing 
If I ever go broke 
You hit the block for me, she replies 
Eyes open wide 
Put that on everything 
I put that on my life 
Right 
Chorus: 
You touch me with a heart of gold (uh huh) 
I can't go a day without my sunshine (sunshine) 
Touch me with a smile of gold 
I can't go a day without my sunshine 
Sunshine 
If I needed would you, give me your kidneys 
For sure 
Catch a case you catch it with me 
mm for sure 
Pawn your jewlery to come get me 
You better know 
Catch me with a chick 
Forgive me? 
Now that, well I don't know 
This is the truth I shall 
Go to the loot get swell 
I put this on my neck 
You was from the smallest to the dubee 
Me and you balling from heaven go to hell 
Won't let you hit the ground, if I'm falling myself 
I won't be leaving you In this cold world, brawling for ? 
Its me and you old girl, taking the belt 
From the lows to the highs 
To the fold we shine 
Just continue to be my sunshine 
Chorus: 
You touch me with a heart of gold (uh huh) 
I can't go a day without my sunshine (sunshine) 
Touch me with a smile of gold 
I can't go a day without my sunshine 
Sunshine x2
