The Last Sunshine Songtext
von Pigeon John

Rock with me through the waves on the TV screen
Flash back, the dream sequence, yo, whatever it means
Escape from the present time, date and mind state
Rewind to a clean slate and a full plate

106th where they maintain the Wall Of Fame
Middle school showed me everything before was lame
Girls and basketball, my approach was the same
Couldn′t score, had no game but had fun playin'

Picture being the 12th man on championship teams
From Bucks Tournament down to Asphalt Greens
In between Rufford Towers and Metro North
Strugglin′ without hardships to not go soft

Found what I really wanted but I didn't need
I realized it galvanized my identity
It makes strangers out of old friends and enemies
But gave them brand new reasons to remember me
Especially when


The last sunshine is about to fade
The leaves in the trees turn red and sway
Tellin' me it′s almost yesterday
I just wanna tell you I miss you

Hope and wish you would stay for a little while
It′s dark and I can't even see your smile
A cold, old man that was once a child
I just want to tell you I miss you

I miss those days we would skate from Hawthorne to Inglewood
Under my feet remember every single crack
In the concrete makes my neck tingle in fact
This track got a new, thinkin′ way back in time
Way before I had a dime out of writin' a rhyme

Go to Magic Mountain and cut in all the lines
Gettin′ numbers, let's see who got the most
And find it wasn′t me but the brother named B and we
Would love to sneak in movies for free
Watchin' 'Goonies′, duckin′ low in our seats

Then hit the streets on our skateboards again
The Summer never ended
Skin hit the wind the young and the splendid


7-11 heavenly parkin' lot laughs in the night
Grinnin′ and spendin' time with the bitty that I liked
Slash love, hot chocolate Denny′s in the twilight buzz
Waitin' for your train to arrive ′cause

The last sunshine is about to fade
The leaves in the trees turn red and sway
Tellin' me it's almost yesterday
I just wanna tell you I miss you

Hope and wish you would stay for a little while
It′s dark and I can′t even see your smile
A cold, old man that was once a child
I just want to tell you I miss you

Shots rang out in the night, we stood still
Found out it was just a car then chilled
Hated going to the liquor store for some milk
'Cause the Bloods in ′88 stayed hot like grills

I miss the simple and plain, my very first kiss
Stained with pangs, I reminisce about my innocence changed
On my first tour gazin' out my window in the rain
Sparked a flame and my heart was the propane

I remember so called friends calling me out like Paul Simon
To fightin′ with fools for mispronouncin' my name
To makin′ my own niche in this rap game
To thinkin' that this is somethin' that′s never gonna change

Simultaneous ridin′ the train, ridin' the shame
Wonderin′ when I'm gonna stay above ground for a change
Not enough knowin′ that I'm never gonna beg for change
Doin′ my thing, I need more to just maintain or stay the same when

The last sunshine is about to fade
The leaves in the trees turn red and sway
Tellin' me it's almost yesterday
I just wanna tell you I miss you

Hope and wish you would stay for a little while
It′s dark and I can′t even see your smile
A cold, old man that was once a child
I just want to tell you I miss you
I just want to tell you I miss you
I just want to tell you

The sun is going down for now
Going down for now
The sun is going down for now
Going down for now

The sun is going down for now
Going down for now
The sun is going down for now
Going down for now
