All I have is my misery A couple bucks and some cigarettes A purple model just kissed my cheek That one morning the city slept I got a dirty mind but my shoes are clean I don't look away cause I choose to see The chain around your neck is a jewelry You ain't fooling me cause I Never had the shades to cry behind Never found the place I try to find If I told you so then I'd be lying I was lost and made a change of course But I'm still afraid to change of course Someone told me when it rains it pours I've been thinking of sunshine Through the pain and strife I've been thinking of sunshine Through the golden days of life All I have is my history Strolled the streets when a stranger passed He spoke and when I got to hear his story I realized my life's not so bad I used to have a job till they fired me I thought I was a person I strived to be Now everything is gone but that's fine with me Cause my mind is free Never had the shades to cry behind Never found the place I try to find If I told you so then I'd be lying I was lost and made a change of course But I'm still afraid to change of course Someone told me when it rains it pours I've been thinking of sunshine Through the pain and strife I've been thinking of sunshine Through the golden days of life I never took nothing from no one Except bad advice Some of my homies never overcame The setbacks of life Life has taught me two things Life has taught me two things Tie your own shoestrings Sometimes we go through things I've done things, I do things I'm not always proud of But I smile through the struggle Just as if I won the lotto I know reality is hard Sometimes it's easy to dream It's only when you close your eyes That you can see what I've seen See what I mean I've been thinking of sunshine Through the pain and strife I've been thinking of sunshine Through the golden days of life I've been thinking of sunshine Through the golden days of life I've been thinking of sunshine
