552
It's 5:52 in the morning
And I'm thinking bout every single thing you did
For me and my brothers way back when we was kids
I'm talking bout the whole damn 23 years
I don't know how you did it
Every year we had them presents on Christmas
3 kids running a black owned business
Working all day coming home to clean the kitchen
Two rooms, one shower in the house, no AC
No heat I don't remember being cold guess shows how warm was the love that you gave me
From granny's house in Inglewood to crib off 89th street south central could've made me
Prolly woulda been a eight trey crip they was banging real hard Lord knows that you save me
I remember leaving my bike outside
Know they could've took it but they never even tried
I know it's kinda funny but it made me realized
That was like the first time I understood God
Been watching over me ever single day Im alive
All them prayers you put over me
Guess why the faith runs so deep
I guess why the hate sound so cheap
I guess it's why i Aint laying dead in the street
Cuz I know that I could've been
Man I know I really should've been
For all the times that I promised that I wouldn't sin
Yea I lied but you knew exactly what I meant
If the devil had his way he would do me in
I can think of three times, almost let him win
I was five when I seen my first homicide
So I'm thanking God for the places you put me in
It's 5:52 in the morning
And I'm thinking bout every single think you did
For me and my brothers way back when we was kids
I'm talking bout the whole damn 23 years
I don't know how you did it
Foot on pedal you was never pessimistic
Gave us all a second chance out the trenches
Taught me me how to be a man not a statistic
I never did understand what you risking
You made me all that I am said I was gifted
And you did all that can to keep me lifted
Cuz you was my biggest fan fore this existed
If Imma be on that stand like I predicted
Momma I would be damn to let you miss it
Cuz i could thank every man who ever gave me hand but you gave me whole plan and my persistence
I could never make it without you
I know that I should listen more I know I shouldn't doubt you
You told me I could be more then I thought I'd amount to
I think I might believe you now I think that I'm bout to
Be an idol
I wanna make it worth it I ain't going viral
I hope they quote my verses like they quote the Bible
And they cry the day I die like I'm Michael
I pray I'm still alive when they decide to give my title
Cuz I know the game is shifty
And bring real is being risky
I always wanted to be like Nipsey
But I ain't tranna die before start rolling wit me
So momma keep in my right mind
Life line ain't another like mine
Type grind like she done planned her whole life time
If you ever met her then you know that she a icon
It's 5:52 in the morning
And I'm thinking bout every single think you did
For me my brothers way back when we was kids
I'm talking bout the whole damn 23 years
I don't know how you do it
Sometime I can't believe that you human
You never really needed excuses
You help me see I could succeed in this music
And I'm thinking bout every single thing you did
