Rise & Shine

I need to wake up
And learn to take this one day at a time
I live between pay stubs
When will I rise and get my chance to shine?
I need to wake up
And learn to take this one day at a time
I live between pay stubs
When will I rise and get my chance to shine?

You find as you go that shit ain't as easy as you had once thought
Stuck in a box, pissed to the maximum
Ready for war, feeling distraught
I can relate, living it day to day
Cause this music thing
Don't make it easy to get paid
One in a million shot at a ring
When everyone dribbling next to you's brilliant
It is intimidating but it's still amazing
It makes me wanna create
I'm tryna top it and find me a way to escape
This place and take it to space
Yeah I can dream
And when I tear at the seams
Reap what I sew cause I'm so full of heat
Burning the wick at both ends of the street
And to keep it abridged, it was nice while it lasted
I'm tryna bridge the gap between people who know what it's like to be me and the people who couldn't imagine
I wish I could free you from petty distraction, but the world don't work in a helpful fashion
Especially when you are furthest from what needs to happen

I need to wake up
And learn to take this one day at a time
I live between pay stubs
When will I rise and get my chance to shine?
I need to wake up
And learn to take this one day at a time
I live between pay stubs
When will I rise and get my chance to shine?
Shine, shine, shine, shine
Shine, we can shine, shine

I told you I wouldn't be giving this up
Need to restructure the plot
Thinking about where I'll be ten years from now
Couldn't dream of it level incredible spot
I'm tryna free my thoughts
And rid my mind of these pesky thots
Every penny lost is a stepping stone for the many props I have yet to cop
My best shit has yet to drop
Spitting hot like Pentecost
I'm pulling on heartstrings like dental floss
And smoke sputter when the engine cough
Better watch out for the exhaust
I been known to come with that verde and that fire sauce
And I've been known to consistently give this my all
And even with L's on my belt don't feel any desire lost
This a toast to the life that I'm dreaming about while I'm sparking up like some wires crossed
Manic but fucking magnificent, climbing my way to the top in these little ass increments
Living freely, breathing deeply
I am ready for what's imminent

I need to wake up
And learn to take this one day at a time
I live between pay stubs
When will I rise and get my chance to shine?
I need to wake up
And learn to take this one day at a time
I live between pay stubs
When will I rise and get my chance to shine?
I need to
