Sunset by Rich Tycoon
Featuring Francci
Lyrics Written by Richie Hampton
Music Composed by Funk Daddy

When I’m down, you remind me it’s time to look up
When I’m down, you remind me it’s time to look up
When I’m down, you remind me it’s time to look up
When I’m down

[Verse 1]
Today’s your day, yo’
I don’t know if can make it, but I gotta go
Time to lay you to rest like the day gone
Gotta hold down the family, gotta stay strong
I just heard your favorite song on the radio
Speakers quaking that Anita Baker, Angel
That’s a sign God gained another angel
Got me looking at you through another angle
We just did Thanksgiving couple weeks ago
Couple years before I noticed you was moving slow
I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t difficult
Couldn’t imagine us planning your funeral
Me and pops, we didn’t always get along
Didn’t always see things eye to eye
I know you didn’t understand every rap song
But I know that you was proud
I seen it in your eyes
Though at times it was hard for me to recognize
You always told me keep my eyes on the bigger prize
I was there when you took your final breathe and died
But today we gon’ focus on the better times

[Chorus/Hook]
One day, feels like it’s a lifetime
Especially when the sun sets and fades into the night time
Don’t you fear the darkness, with that comes the sunrise
So beautiful and precious, we’ll meet again in due time

[Verse 2]
Still got the memories, good or bad
Every lesson that you taught me, know it’s gon’ last
Looking at your pictures, reminiscing on the past
You can rest guaranteed I’m a keep it on task
In other words, I’m a take some of your advice
Take advantage of this life, don’t think twice
Everytime I see the sunshine turn into a sunset
I’m a know you’re up there in the sky
Papa always was a cool cat, so fly
Always wanted to do more than just get by
He was always up early working overtime
Hard worker on the grind trying to provide
Nah, papa wasn't perfect, but he sure tried
Used to make so mad I’d wish he wasn’t mine
Didn’t think that I’d cry as much as I’ve cried
Wish we had some more time spend some more time

[Chorus/Hook]
One day, feels like it’s a lifetime
Especially when the sun sets and fades into the night time
Don’t you fear the darkness, with that comes the sunrise
So beautiful and precious, we’ll meet again in due time
(At least there’s still the sunset)

[Verse 3]
Papa said I had the genes of a king
And could achieve anything I could dream
All you gotta do is put your mind to it
Be determined, you can grind through it (at least there’s still the sunset)
Papa rest, don’t you worry about a thing
The family sitting at the table, we a team
Put aside all that drama
And like I promised, we gon’ get through it
That’s don’t mean the nights don’t get cold
And that don’t mean that the days don’t seem long
That don’t mean that the tears, they don’t flow
And that don’t mean we don’t question where it went wrong
All I know is pops, not that you gone
We all gotta figure out how to move on
That’s easier said than it is done
When every day you wake up thinking about your loved one,
Until we meet again

[Chorus/Hook]
One day, feels like it’s a lifetime
Especially when the sun sets and fades into the night time
Don’t you fear the darkness, with that comes the sunrise
So beautiful and precious, we’ll meet again in due time
At least there’s still the sunset
