Sunrise Over San Quentin

When the sunrise over San Quentin
I drop down to my knees and pray
Blessed to see another day
When the sun, when the sun, when the sunrise
Over San Quentin, I drop down to my knees and pray
Blessed to see another day
When the sun, when the sunrise

I wake up and say a prayer
I thank God for my existence
He ain't had to let us wake up
We was livin' wreckless
Didn't care where life would take us
We was heading for destruction
I'm thankful that God saved us
I remember times I told God I'd turn my life around
But I lied every time it's like I couldn't put that rifle down
Sittin in the cell I'm prayin for change as I'm lying down
God if you change me imma change and I ain't lying now
Should've went to school and paid attention, now I'm sittin' in prison
Lately I been reminiscing, wishing we were still children
Never would of thought I'd lose Taylor at an early age
Never would of thought I'd lose nanny to an early grave
I guess life is unpredictable but death is all a part of life
I guess it's irresistible
I'm takin to these angels hopin they let my sister know
She got two handsome nephews and them the ones who I'm livin for

When the sunrise over San Quentin
I drop down to my knees and pray
Blessed to see another day
When the sun, when the sun, when the sunrise
Over San Quentin, I drop down to my knees and pray
Blessed to see another day
When the sun, when the sunrise

I never sold drugs, we cut grams just to feed the fam
Shot out to my pops, he really taught me how to be a man
I didn't see it from the jump
But now I'm startin to see his plan
God just want me to be the man that he see I am
But I'm just tryna make it out before somebody take me out
I'm feelin like boosie
I wish I would've took the safer route

Right or wrong, wrong or right
It's up to you to weigh it out
If you gonna change, then change
You ain't got time to be waitin' around
I couldn't do it by myself, so I asked God for help
I told him to shuffle the deck cause I don't like what I was dealt
Leave the past in the past, I'm tryna better myself
I told my sons that I'd be back but I ain't been back since I left
And now I' feelin like a dead beat
Look at what being a follower finally led me
I'm sittin in a cell waiting on the day til they let me free
I wanna give up but God just ain't gonna let me be

When the sunrise over San Quentin
I drop down to my knees and pray
Blessed to see another day
When the sun, when the sun, when the sunrise
Over San Quentin, I drop down to my knees and pray
Blessed to see another day
When the sun, when the sunrise
