No Sunshine Lyrics - Singles - Kid Frost

What is time? 

Time is when a man is trying to make time with your woman 

But you're doing time behind bars and your time is standing still 

Yo, Frost, kick it to these people for real you know what I'm saying? 

Time, sifts through the hourglass, through night and day 

And I watch as the games people play 

It's like do unto others than split 

And if you can't back up what you say then you ain't shit 

(Yeah) 

I've seen the manifestations of the street 

So I can manifest what I've seen on a drum beat 

Like just last night 

(Yo, what happened?) 

I watched these two vatos get in a crazy fight 

One of them was quick to pull a knife 

He stabbed him in the heart and now he's doing life 

In prison at the age of 21 

(Yeah) 

Living on death row 'cause he couldn't let go 

Caught in the web of violence 

(Damn) 

Roll deep when they creep and move in silence of the lambs 

(Yo) 

A tattooed tear dropped as the iron gates slam 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, anytime, hey 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, anytime 

Damn, damn ain't that a shame? 

You're lost so take the caution don't play the game 

Should've listen to the Frost when I was trying to come across to you 

But no you didn't think 

(Sucker) 

You just keep getting yourself more deep until you sink 

So there's no one else to thank but yourself 

So go ahead take bow for a job well done 

But you'll never see the day of the sunshine or the fun times 

Just the old days and your old ways 

Corrupt and wicked 

Out there doing dirt, instead of just kicking it 

Pow pow, bang bang and all that noise 

(Yeah) 

Yeah, you and all your homeboys 

Take time to read between the lines 

'Cause ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, anytime, hey 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, anytime 

(Yo, Kid) 

I know about being macho 

Calling the shots the big time head honcho 

(Yeah) 

But here's something even more gacho 

One of my homeboys is your old lady's Sancho 

Yo, shit happens 

A number lights up on his beeper right as I'm rapping 

While you sit in a cell writing a letter 

Saying when you get out, your things will be better 

(Right) 

But man she couldn't wait so she's going out on a date 

With every Tom, Dick and Harry 

And if you ask me, your shit's getting scary 

So how you gonna handle this 

When your ho's in Los Angeles, acting so scandalous? 

Yo, you can't blame her you didn't take the time 

And now, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, that's for you, '92 

You know what I'm saying? Anytime, yeah 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine 

Ain't no sunshine, anytime, damn 

So if you don't wanna do no time 

You better take time to try to draw the line 

You know what I'm saying? 

Or you're gonna be the next fool in line doing time 

You know what I'm saying? Like my man said 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't no sunshine fool 

Ain't no sunshine, ain't nothing happening up there 

You know what I'm saying? Ain't no sunshine, anytime 

Yo, me and Frost is out of here, peace 

There just ain't no sunshine
