This is how i feel when i wake up.

Lyrics

In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful I'm just trynna be purposeful Memorized your verses too Maybe just a verse or two Maybe one. Oh what? nothin I was just asking to bless All of my supporters really Everyone in the world With good intentions by your definition Um…please help me to focus on my mission Um…thank y'all, that's all, and amen A lot of people had a ball, but I did not Do not, can not wait till I'm done with college Every days a struggle every days a puddle Every nights a well Every week's a creek Every month's a pond Every years a drought you see we wonder where it's gone Promptly after which we make a promise that we keep Promptly after which we party on and party long Promptly after which somebody murdered in the street Depending where you be Every decade is a slave in a noose over old man river… Mississippi Every second I'm rapping I lose someone that's wit me Every second I'm living I lose someone that's living Every day I wake up and they already gone I been round here 20 years that's already long Hoping that I finish, or I finish when I'm hoping, or I'm close Cuz when you think they bout to toast you Then they prolly right behind thee They gonn Catcher In The Rye me Took it to the pastor asked him "why me?" - he ain't know He prolly did – he prolly lying - he ain't slow Told em take it to the bridge, but we ain't go Imma keep on rapping right through every single hook Put a little chorus at the end of the track Catch me in the study reading every single book Ask me why I did it - well I did it cuz I'm black Trynna break the mold here Imma go where no one wanna go here On my own, never on my lonely Tried to date a couple girls that still don't really know me I was talking this into success way before I had connects or any monies You can ask my homies Way before I was poppin I was popular low-key Every university they know me, or know someone that know me Or know someone that owe me A lot of people owe me but I'm never bout the re up and I never will be Had to face the fact that some of yall will never feel me No matter how many raps or books or plays Cosigns scores or encores on stage No, I can't explain how it feels successful Because im not successful. I'll never be successful Even when I'm successful that is only in the finite And I'm only approaching the success in the infinite game That's the trick to the game - its how you strive Not how you arrive, or contemplate a procedure, execute, and derive Wash up, dress up, then glance at my schedule Start handing out fives Just to see my people when they get a little glory Just to give em dap Just to spread the love Thugs' demeanor dissolve to a godly smile Inside everybody is a child… This is how I feel when I wake This is how I feel when I wake This is how I feel when I wake up Ain't got no friends Ain't got no ends Ain't got no happy days Ain't got long to live I ain't got long to live I ain't got long to live Oh, but I got what I got And I got love They can't take it from me I got love Can't take it from me Ain't got love to live I ain't got to live I got songs to give Check
