Yeah.
Son, come up whether you're ready or not.
A long clock bark like a junky old dog.
Street still wet from last night's flog.
Booty scrape on the kitchen floor.
Every step say I been here before.
Coffee black, no sugar lie.
Another day just walk by.
Morning gotta mean walk.
Head down, shoulders tight.
Everybody got something to hide.
But soon as the day catches light.
Morning gotta mean walk.
Ain't no mercy in the sun.
If you woke up breathing today,
bought a deal already done.
Radio hum like you know my name.
Same old story, different shame.
Neighbor wave but he don't see the weight this city put on me.
Bills talk loud, dreams talk low.
Learn who's real by who don't go.
Morning gotta mean walk.
Sideways grin,
cold stare.
Every promise cost something now.
Ain't no fear anywhere.
Morning gotta mean walk.
Clock don't wait, heart don't stall.
You don't choose a hand you're dealt.
Just how you play the call.
Some
folks pray, some folks scheme.
Some just float in between.
Me, I move when the streets say move.
Try not to lose what little I prove.
Morning gotta mean walk.
Knuckles tight,
jaw set.
Every man owes something back.
Even if you don't know it yet.
Morning gotta mean walk.
But I'm still on my feet.
City tried to teach me fear.
I taught it how to be.
Yeah.
Sun up.
Game on.
