Rise & Shine

Uh you gotta get up get out get somethin...
Uh
Early mornin, kinda sleepy, still yawnin
Log-onin, dial tonin
Forever phonin, for a blessin
Will you help me, get my ass up out the bed and go
God love me cause he said it so
Don't look away cause I beg for mo'
Then I ever ever had
Praying for the future but I'm dealing with the past
Momma say I'm worry cause I too much like my dad
Somethangs are forever, nothin ever last
Like the cries under the sun know when big mama pass
Time travel fast, search and you should find
No break from yo slumber, open up yo blinds
RISE AND SHINE!
"The latest I can be was on time"
You gotta get up get out and get something
Why rest when all the world runnin
RISE AND SHINE!
"If life is a dream, why sleep at all"
Nothing ever comes to those that just wait
Don't never lose sight of your goal just keep straight
The early bird gets the worm, you live and you learn
(I been waiting on my chance) well you gotta wait your turn
To whom it may concern, ain't much time left
Gotta fight to the death of my family
MJ baseline they can't handle me
Slam dunk hang time like a canopy
Tired sitting on the couch
(Watching celebs pout about the troubles of a million dollar house)
So tell em I'm out on my grizzly
Put'cha lighters in the air if you feel me
i aint lyin, it's the time
To wake up, wipe ya eyes
Rise and shine
Uh, yo, yo
Free yo mind
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
RISE AND SHINE!
"The latest I can be was on time"
You gotta get up get out and get something
Why rest when all the world running
RISE AND SHINE!
"If life is a dream why sleep at all"
Nothing ever comes to those that just wait
Don't never lose sight of ur goals just keep straight
RISE AND SHINE!
