[Intro]
Seven O’clock in the morning
Time to get motivated
Gotta get some movement, son
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
[Rebirth]
It’s a new day, rise and shine when I open my eyes
To realize (that what?) the world is mine
From tenements I reminisce, visions ever so elegant
My dream was to live for the moment, now it’s infinite
Equivalent to a natural high without spaceships
Open up the curtain as the sun’s radiation grabs me
Like my liver consumed alcohol
A glass of water got me concentrated like The Juice of Orenthal
At 22 years, my soul aged
See the book of life unfold on the next page
Never backwards in reading it, but scheming by the pen
To breed Birth, making my future offspring a king
Waking up to old vinyl, 33 and a 3rd
Aromas of momma’s cooking, steak and eggs, say word
Phone ringing off the hook, still draped in a robe
Thinking of plans of where to take my lady for a stroll
Came a long way from benches, drinking Olde English
Newports to courts, ignorant to having senses
Called up FenaxiZ on the road through the speaker
Vrrring, but ain’t nobody picking up on the receiver
[Chorus]
Wake up, you’re gonna sleep the day away
And tomorrow, we’ll be grown
Hurry while we still have our day
To learn things we’ve never known
[FenaxiZ]
Ayo, rise and shine, time to open up these eyes of mine
Surprised to find divine design got me alive and fine
And I’m thankful for it since so many ain’t as fortunate
We light a candle for ’em plus crack the ‘pagne and pour it
Though I can’t move forward ’til all my pain’s recorded
And my brain absorb it similar to when I paint a portrait
On this land, I soar with angel warriors who came to conquer
Not for fame and fortune, but to gain accordance
And so morning’s passed, gotta move on, sing a new song
Key of life turned major, as a minor, I would do wrong
In cess spots, used to test cops, it vexed pops
Delinquints I would link with now boil processed rocks
In Pyrex pots like, “Fuck a Plan B, up the ante
Damp weed won’t land me what nose candy can hand me”
From gram to ki or bikes to Benzes, or slight offences
Carrying a lighter sentence to facing a five-to-ten
It’s a high percentage of victims non-living, in prison
Or addicted to poisons, that’s your only given choices
And I know death comes, I bled once, but regardless
Ask yourself, is bread crumbs worth the charges
[Chorus repeated over outro]
Wake up, you’re gonna sleep the day away
And tomorrow, we’ll be grown
Hurry while we still have our day
To learn things we’ve never known
[FenaxiZ]
Ayo
[Rebirth]
Ayo, whattup man
[FenaxiZ]
Yo, listen, we getting older now
[Rebirth]
Trust me
[FenaxiZ]
You know, time’s ticking away so we gotta get this pot of gold right now
[Rebirth]
That’s all we gotta do
[FenaxiZ]
Word, no doubt, no doubt
[Rebirth]
Just like the morning man, we gonna, we gonna rise to the occasion and that’s right man
[FenaxiZ]
Trust, ’cause yo, these other heads, they ain’t looking at the long road
I understand though, it ain’t like we promised tomorrow
[Rebirth]
No doubt
[FenaxiZ]
Keep in mind though, it’s never too late to let the positivity in your life
[Rebirth]
Just like the sun
[FenaxiZ]
So yo, Birth, this our year
[Rebirth]
Yo, this year’s ours, man, yeah, just as long as we keep on moving
[FenaxiZ]
That’s what I’m saying, we gotta do this for ourselves
[Rebirth]
Ayo, just keep, yo, just continue motivating and keep it moving
[FenaxiZ]
Word
[Rebirth]
Alright, peace man
[FenaxiZ]
Peace, yo
