mornin' passed me by tonight
Moment pass me by tonight
So I take my sunlight and shine
Everyday, wake on up by the sunshine
If it rains, window paint
Everything on my young mind
how can I get out of this?
but I'm feeling like a catalyst
My mother, she just died, yeah
Brother, he just died, yeah
gotta find a way out there
In my sleep, I dream about my country
They tell me North Korea is the best
I was talking to my unnie,
Run, watch out for the towers
and the soldiers with the guns
They will shoot you if they catch you
and you're just a little girl
and the chance that you make it
Only cry when you're alone
if you show a sign of weakness
If it gets too overbearing,
just remember all my kisses
The morning passed me by tonight
So I take my sunlight and shine
The morning passed me by tonight
So I take my sunlight and shine
Every day, wake on up by the sunshine
If it rains, window paint
Everything on my young mind
How can I get better grades?
My mother went to school here
Brother went to school here
Pressure's on cause I'm new here
In my sleep, I dream about my country
And my heroes all above me
I will watch em just to emulate
Like the standard of what's beautiful
My role is to participate
Only problem is it covers what is under it
Feeling like another lift
I promise I'm not into this
Or make me look much better
Than I ever could or ever did
The moon didn't pass me by tonight
So I take my sunlight and shine
Morning pass me by tonight
So I take my sunlight and shine
Every day, wake on up by the sunshine
If it rains, window pane,
everything of a young mind
They tell me that I'm privileged
in my mind that is brand new to me
My mother isn't from here,
I was born right by my house,
never had to go out there
In my sleep, I dream about my country,
They're telling me I'm lucky
and I barely understand them
Cause my mind is on a pedestal,
And it's out, barely eat,
And the screen broke on my cell,
Hashtag FML, where is my allowance at?
and I have to get along with them
I can't wait just to leave,
they'll never understand me
And I really need to breathe
Breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe,
breathe, breathe, breathe
If it gets too overbearing,
just remember all my kissing
The morning pass me by tonight
So I take my sunlight and shine
The morning pass me by tonight
So I take my sunlight and shine
