Ye-
Eah
Yeah
Ayy
Yeah
My mind snaps to attention
It's not quite light, but it
Just might be
Time for my resurrection
No alarm needed
I been dreamin' of this moment since a fetus
You can bet that I'ma
Seize the day and own it, like
Uh
The sun is peekin' in my window now
Hoppin' outta bed
I'm in the shower in a second, how
Did every single moment
I was stressin' 'bout just fall away?
There's something special
'Bout the dawnin' of a brighter day
As I relay my thoughts
Upon the page, the sun is all I need
The birds are chirpin'
There's a mountain in my laun-da-ry
I play some Cole, "Foldin' Clothes"
Chatters barely hauntin' me
Sippin' coffee, and this the way
Your mornings really oughta be
But where have I been?
Inside my head just tryna work it out
Balancin' the line
Between givin' up and it workin' out
The nights, they get the hardest
So I find myself just workin' out
But once the dawn arrives
My morning eyes have found a workaround
Strugglin' with my self worth
Buildin' up my net worth
Missin' Joey, Jon
And all the homies in my network
Missin' playin' live shows
And tourin' like a damn menace
Won't peter out
But never land amidst a pandemic
So I captain hooks
And try to stay afloat, the outcome
Is still a mystery
The risk could be, I haven't outdone
Myself on this occasion
While I built a chance without one
'Cause every one I'll take
I almost didn't make the album
Yeah, was taught about my
Aunty on the plane and, god, it hurt
How you meant to say
Goodbye when you can't watch the hearse?
We had a party for you
Everybody came and got to learn
How much you mean
I wrote a poem for you and was lost for words
It wasn't too much
Longer after that we lost my nan
Heart shattered
For the family all across the land
Held her hand, she told me
"I'm so proud of you, John"
But when you're raised by a legend
Damn, you're bound to be one
And so the album it comes
Been writin' for hours and I've been envisionin' shows
Tryna be levellin' up
With the pen, all the while tryna kill 'em with flow
Stuck in the rhythm of killin' it
I've been a hinderance since you were pickin' your nose
Sick of my short comings, but I won't plummet
Never gonna be a victim of those
Nah, but I'm not done
Better pack that SPF, bruh, it's gon' be a hot one
Don't get burnt
Learnt solo that everything's a horror show, but I got love
Learnt the Thundamentals
I've been runnin' mental, they viewin' from heavenly heights
Livin' my life at a step at a time
Tryna do right till I'm up in the dress circle
Woo
