It's hard to have favorites when I've enjoyed working on so many songs... but guess what... Daybreak is easily of my favorites. Cherax came to me with a 5 day deadline to the Soft Spectrum Album. The instrumental and concept he gave me... were so beautiful... I couldn't NOT write the lyrics. Two days later I recorded a version that would eventually be the final song. Daybreak really gives the concept of rapping and hip-hop a refreshing and soothing perspective. If I could do more songs over instrumentals like this... I would. (HINT HINT)
lyrics
I've never felt eternal night before
And yo at first I thought I'd like it more because at night
is when I like to think while writing on the floor.
I like the quietness, enjoy the solitude
'Cause in the day is action, in the night is milder mood.
Wilder dudes, settle down with sunset
But some get restless, and express: "it ain't fun yet"
But I ain't done yet, I'm sayin' that I dug the moon
But after 3 nights in a row, I'd love some sun soon...
And it was Sun Tzu who taught me how to run through
opponents with my mind as the one tool.
But I can't fight the dark. I gotta trust the Mane.
The ones entrusted with the Elements are in the game.
I miss the light, praise Celestia
I'm hoping that these ponies bring it back to the rest of all Equestria
Because I never really understood -
I loved the badness of the night, only because the sun was good.
(The sun will rise tomorrow
The daylight's coming back home)
The blades of light, they skim across my eyes.
My pupils dilate, contract in reaction of the sky.
There's the sun on the rise where horizon breaks
And I can hear the gasp of the air that my lungs intake.
The girls did, I admit with a bit of admiration,
Defeat the night with the brightest light of an affirmation
An assertation that friendship's based on a combination;
A reclamation of elements of the highest station.
And tie these notions of kindness, patience ~ the ways of ancients
It levitated these ladies to make a blazing laser,
A rainbow spectrum that radiated in waves of vapor.
Cascaded greatly to break the hatred of Nightmare's labor.
These major saviors were simply local Ponyville neighbors
The Mane evaded the heinous aims that she tried to play there.
And they were able to take the hate & pain out that made her
And in the Fate of Equestria's Night, it made them greater.
And later as the Sun had made its way to show its face there.
We ponies celebrated, praised the day, the Sun would raise there.
The Sun would raise and finally my mouth could taste the day air.
My eyes could see the way there. I knew the Sun would take care.
And I want to send my sentiments.
For if it wasn't in the harmony that built the elements.
I'm feelin' that the ebbing of the night couldn't spell an end.
The mellowness of night that I liked... could be welcomed then.
Sunrise, sunset, Sunday, some say the sun rays
They run across the skies some day
Sun plays, sun blaze, sun takes some dark days
makes them turn back to the dark age.
Sunshine sometimes, on the lines that I rhyme
they run fine. When I am writing the one time.
Sun burst, sun flare, sun hurts those times
I'm just sittin' there, verse never getting air.
Sun's the centre of the universe.
I'm the first to say it
When the sun's gone, often Luna's worse.
