[Rapper Big Pooh]

Open my eyes to a new day, spreading my wings

Taking shots fo crown cause I'm going through things

Coattails getting heavy cause I'm living my dream

I'm trying to school these young niggaz it ain't all what it seems

I still struggle just like you, and I still hustle just like you

But it just so happens that Big Pooh doing what he love to do

Get back on my work, cause I was penning on this piece last night

That'll drive these niggaz berserk

Tiggalo hit me up, "Pooh its time to murk"

Throw on a pair of sweats, A-1's, white shirt

Headed back to the shop, back to the spot where the hits keep coming

Stack them up like bricks, you can call me the mason of shit

Foundation has been rock solid no replacing, ya dig?

No replacing my nig, on everything that I live

We gonna let this bitch ride to our trains collide

Or we fall off track, and ain't no bringing me back

And everything that go for you the same applies to Pat



[Hook]

Cause even though the birds ain't singin' and the sun ain't shinin'

It looks like a beautiful morning



[Phonte]

Each day's another chance to do the things I could've

Done the day before, but I didn't and I known I should've

So I say a prayer for the gone for gooders

Who left this world, then kiss my girl "good mornin', shuga"

Another sunrise, and as much as I would love

To roll over on you I cannot do it because

The good Lord I prayed to him

And he said, "Niggaz is listening now"

So I better have something to say to 'em

So I'mma tell 'em how it went down, man

Doin' shows for free goin' outta town, man

The way I almost broke down and, got a 9 to 5

Cause I had more press than the soundscans

This is the price that I pay for this music

And every word that I write is a testament to it

And if I had to go back, I wouldn't change a thing

Wouldn't re-cut it, re-edit, or change a frame

'Cause it would not be fair, to turn my back on the struggle

When that exact same hustle got me here

Told niggaz for the getup, we three the hard way

And Broadway's the only place you'll ever throw a set up

Speechless is all you'd be if we ever met up

I survived far to much now to ever let up, motherfucker



[Hook] - repeat
