Morning Sun
I don't plan to live to die, I want my words immortalised
Through pencilling rhymes
Hope the legacy I leave brings me where heaven resides
In spite of things I've seen, man, is sinning just life?
Driver of my fate, disliked the passenger side
But I've spent so many nights where it's myself I criticise
Grappled with my vices, but their grip was too tight
When I'm handling mics, I question, if I have a right
For I'm a guest in this house
Legends laid foundations, set the trail I'm tryna blaze in
The least I could do was pay respect and help maintain it
We've seen the paint get tainted by the corruption of fame
But I can't guarantee I won't be the same
Brought up chasing bags, told to grab all that you can
When you need a roof and fan, can you afford to think of less?
City never sleeps, dreams don't pay your bills
Tryna be all I can be, while still juggling the real
We don't know what we got till it's gone
When we do, we can't seem to hold on
Still I rise with the morning sun
What's done is done, I know my time's gonna come
Growing up to realise your parents are still adults living life
For the first time, kinda messed with my mind
Always saw the sacrifices, not the person behind 'em
All the times we idolized 'em, while it's demons they're fighting
Generational trauma, they're tryna conquer
While tryna conjure a smile, kept their feet on the ground
Working late nights so their prince ain't a pauper
Now he's working late nights authoring all of these sounds
From a very young age, I knew my fate was different
But all it meant was I couldn't find shoes to fit in
Too weird for any group from the nerds to the cool kids
Rap became my muse, now I'm its favourite student
It's my belief things had to be this way
All that life sentenced helped me beat this case
Of self-doubt, turned me to the man of the house
The last samurai, bringing food & water in droughts
We don't know what we got till it's gone
When we do, we can't seem to hold on
Still I rise with the morning sun
What's done is done, I know my time's gonna come
Through pencilling rhymes
Hope the legacy I leave brings me where heaven resides
In spite of things I've seen, man, is sinning just life?
Driver of my fate, disliked the passenger side
But I've spent so many nights where it's myself I criticise
Grappled with my vices, but their grip was too tight
When I'm handling mics, I question, if I have a right
For I'm a guest in this house
Legends laid foundations, set the trail I'm tryna blaze in
The least I could do was pay respect and help maintain it
We've seen the paint get tainted by the corruption of fame
But I can't guarantee I won't be the same
Brought up chasing bags, told to grab all that you can
When you need a roof and fan, can you afford to think of less?
City never sleeps, dreams don't pay your bills
Tryna be all I can be, while still juggling the real
We don't know what we got till it's gone
