Aspettando Il Sole

The TV's off and I don't watch it anymore
I've got a lump in my throat that's hard to swallow
I smoke a bit, push the curtain aside
Gray leaden sky, I won't let it take me down
Nostalgia rises slowly
Why do I think of you? I wonder where you are, what you're doing
I wonder if you ever thought of me
Of our fire that burned and now it's ash
But everything passes slowly, and even if it feels strange, I smile
Because I know I won't call you today
Whatever comes, comes, and I'm okay with it
What's done is done
And now the past keeps it
And it's been raining for a while, the rain soaks my skin
But I'll dry off because I know time is cyclical
And I know a little time is what we need
While a kid is chasing away the bad, waiting for the sun

Today there's no sun around me
Save me, shine and warm me, I want the sun
I'm looking for new light in the confusion of a kid

And today feels like yesterday, but maybe it's just an impression
A product of a kid's mind
Maybe it's because there's no sun
Maybe it's because everything seems to stay the same
Whatever will be, will be, I'm feeling down
But no one calls, and I don't know who to call
I try to shake it off and think only of what I need to do
Uh Jesus, Jesus, I'm the victim of demons that come back
And try to pull me down
My bad thoughts are waiting for me, stalking, talking and talking
Where are the rays that warmed a kid?
Where are the others from my crew now that I'm in the cyclone?
In dope I find my cure, in dope I mix roots and culture
Pure energy, the music gives me the words
I spit these rhymes and I know sooner or later the sun returns

Today there's no sun around me, save me, shine and warm me
I want the sun, I'm looking for new light in the confusion of a kid

Whatever will be, will be, it goes as it goes
I only count on myself and I already know you know that
Chico does what needs to be done when there's no love
I gotta, gotta, gotta hustle because I'm short on cash
It's getting harder to stay calm in this crazy situation
I don't want this anymore, starting from zero
I know somehow I gotta rise up but
There's no more light, just darkness that hurts
There's no more peace, just anger that rises every day
I know where I am and now I want to stay here
Feel the beat, if you're listening, come get me
Kidnap me, music hit me in the heart boom cha boom cha
But there's no pain, stretch your healing hands over a kid
While he's waiting for the sun

Today there's no sun around me
Save me, shine and warm me
I want the sun
I'm looking for new light in the confusion of a kid
