[Verse 1:]
Yeah, young man, I swear I got a mind of my own,
I'm heading to the top and I'm minding my own.
Wondering what it would be like to lie in the throne,
And yeah you with me, but I still feel I'm riding alone.
So I use this music to release anger,
It's like I'm explaining myself to a complete stranger.
But you listen and I notice,
Thank you for being so focused on me when I was at my lowest.
Everybody flowing cause they wanna get a bad bitch,
But my nine to five is working on this rap shit,
So I get offended when pretending is image,
That the livin' love, man this is some sad shit.
I never had shit,
So I'm losing my friends chasing these dreams,
So me and my fam could have shit,
So I'm on it,
Trying to remain the strongest,
And still with all these struggles;
[Hook:]
Somehow I gotta get up in the morning,
Yeah, I gotta get up in the morning,
Yeah, I gotta get up in the morning,
Yeah, so I can remain the strongest,
Yeah, I gotta get up in the morning,
Yeah, I gotta get up in the morning,
Yeah, I gotta get up in the morning,
Yeah, still gotta remain the strongest.
Second verse let's do it.
[Verse 2:]
I wake up early in the morning, I'm zoning,
I'm living for the moment,
Wondering how my homies turn to opponents,
When that money gets to falling in,
You get to falling out.
As time goes you realize what it was all about,
And those rumors get to spreading like diseases,
I get that snailface, like do you really believe this?
Y'all need Jesus, I mean everyone,
Yeah I said it son, doing what's been never done,
And these niggas is starting to act like bitches,
And I'm not trying to be wrong,
But Y'all don't bleed every month.
Look down and realize you got a flat homie,
And you ain't hurting me because you turned your back on me,
You a phony and I wonder how that makes you feel,
And just cause you clap guns nigga that don't make you real.
But I knew you for the longest, homie,
So when you lay down at night as a fake;
[Modified Hook:]
How do you get up in the morning?
Damn, how do you get up in the morning,
Damn, how do you get up in the morning,
Damn, knowing damn well you a phony, (ha)
How do you get up in the morning?
Nigga, how do you get up in the morning,
Yeah, how do you get up in the morning,
Damn, knowing damn well you a phony,
Third verse let's do it.
[Verse 3:]
Baby you summertime sexy,
So tell me why you do that, you know;
Sell your body just to kick it with these new jacks,
Where your film crew at?
Where your model pictures?
Is money really worth your dignity to follow niggas?
It's amazing how these beautiful women can lose control,
In a life so cold, where souls turn into hoes,
But you better than that,
I can see it in your eye vision,
These niggas lye with you,
Treat you like these side bitches,
And you know this but you ignore reality,
I bring it to the light and now your ass wants to get mad at me?
But I'm cool with showing you how you f*cking up,
Get a job and stop selling your body for a couple bucks.
Niggas hurt your feelings, now you don't f*ck with love,
Life's hard, understand that, and suck it up.
Get closer to God, and he will keep you the warmest,
And I swear you will feel better:
[Modified Hook:]
When you wake up in the morning,
Yeah, when you wake up in the morning,
Yeah, when you wake up in the morning,
Yeah, God will keep you the warmest,
Yeah, So when you wake up in the morning,
Damn, when you wake up in the morning,
Yeah, when you wake up in the morning,
I promise God will keep you the warmest, Yeah.
