The Plastic Bears - Sunshine State Lyrics

Little baby boy
With cornrow dreads
In his Mama's hands
So seemingly fine
So seemingly fine
But deep inside
The dread she's felt
Where they reside
It's a place to start to plan
A sunset trip, for tomorrow

We wait for someone to take Everything
Before we choose to face what Brought us to the brink
We wait for someone to take Everything

One score later, they're doing fine
Baby boy grew up on the Western Side
Of the Sunshine State where the Water's dry
And the cops fight crime, but they're taking lives
Some questionable, most justified
But in a lot of neighborhoods Mamas are terrified
That they might find out that their Baby Boy
Ain't coming home over a traffic Fine

And that ain't right

We wait for someone to take everything
Before we choose to face what Brought us to the brink
We wait for someone to take Everything
