[Intro]

May the optimism of tomorrow be your foundation for today


[Chorus]

The spotlight on my fans

Sunshine, I can't tell a lie

Want me to say what they just wanna hear now

Want me to say what they just wanna hear now


[Interlude]

I can't lie I feel quite phenomenal today, baby

That new black soul


[Verse 1]

I was in the business when you was chasin' the bitches

Now I got the dollars, I'm tryin' get my position

Couple bad decisions, I got some character issues

Although I'm never slippin' like student parent permission

Yes, I am aware that America tryna get me

So I let my friends carry paraphernalia

Before I love a industry girl, I'll marry civilian

Picture a young, rich woman taking me serious

Although I hit my stride, ain't even in my prime (nah)

Singles in the chart make a broad lose top these days

You ain't gotta do nothin' to pop these days

Instagram is runnin' they thoughts these days

62 joint, got me Doug-in on 'em

Humbled, got my ass dropped, now I'm stuntin' on 'em

You better know that you overdue for some better endings

That's who whoever develop second-guessing they blessing

Ralph...


[Chorus]

The spotlight on my fans

Sunshine, I can't tell a lie

Want me to say what they just wanna hear now

Want me to say what they just wanna hear now


[Interlude]

I just need you to vibe with me real quick

We came from nothin'


[Verse 2]

I don't like to boast, but they ain't touchin' the flow (nope)

Fuck a therapist, I put everything in this cone

My only fear is marriage, she scared of bein' alone

She settle for this bread so therein should be a trophy

I'ma prolly marry somebody already familiar

VH1 10, I'm not thinkin' about these bitches

Can do without opinions

Another brother caught up in the business

Had that lock since I lost my scholarship

I been gettin' it to my old coach and ballin'

Rose gold was forty, dopest nigga recordin'

Make hoes sprint the 40

See me, I thought money would change it, it got worse

But it's a lot better than screamin' "who got work?" (who got work?)

From opening up for Back to packing out 9:30

I never sold crack when crack rappin' was workin'

With that fact, it's back packin' and murkin'

Gettin' that Bobby Heenan while you Mr. Perfect


[Chorus]

The spotlight on my fans

Sunshine, I can't tell a lie

Want me to say what they just wanna hear now

Want me to say what they just wanna hear now


[Outro]

Folarin the Genius

I told you this that new black soul

We ain't posed to never ha-

We ain't posed to never have
