There's something about a day like this that
Makes me want to raise my fist and say
Let's rise and shine
It's time to face the world
There's something about a day like this that
Makes me want to raise my fist and say
Let's rise and shine
It's time to face the world
If I died tonight, I'mma keep living through words I've used
Standing out in the rain singing the curbside blues
See I'm a street smart rapper with a nerd's IQ
Just staring down at the world giving my bird's eye view
This life's short so I'm taking it one day a time
Then I relive it through the stories that I say in my rhymes
Stay in my grind
And I'm praying to find
A way to design the colors that display in my mind onto the song's canvas
I'm trying to write out all my wrong answers
And beat the odds cause they say that I ain't have strong chances
Success always starts with a dream but
The closer that it gets it's like the farther it seems
Growing up I never cared about the stars on the screen
And never fell for the marketing schemes targeting teens
I'm a free spirit, experienced life and breathe lyrics
My momma taught her son to be fearless
And I'm laid back because the west is my home
I got these bill collectors calling me and texting my phone
I left them alone, decided they were stressing my dome
I knew it all when i was younger and so much less when I'm grown alone
A lost angel in the city of dreams
It ain't as pretty as it seems on the video screens
It's hideous things, but still I got the sun in my face, running in place
But we gonna make it one of these days because
There's something about a day like this that
Makes me want to raise my fist and say
Let's rise and shine
It's time to face the world
There's something about a day like this that
Makes me want to raise my fist and say
Let's rise and shine
It's time to face the world
Tomorrow is not what it used to be
And although forgotten, the youth I see walk in my shoes
Opportunity knock and soon to be lost when obstacles move in between
If all I got is the shoes on my feet
I refuse to be part of the cycle
And although my parents won't view it as me
Truth is I see more of them features creeping through as we speak
Trying to grow as an artist and a man
When your life is in the music and it all begins to blend
It's a give and take, of all the more I can
That's always been a part that's so hard to understand
I know some day, I want to be a dad
But the thought of fatherhood makes you got to get a grasp on your life
And any problems that you had
Can't wander when the kid is there, walking in your path
Trying to find some peace in myself
And at the same time maybe reach someone else
At the least I can speak what I felt
In the moment knowing that I leave nothing held back
If I was blessed with a second turn
I search for what direction works and step with purpose
Wouldn't stress against a worry
Being less I hurry I guess it's a lesson learned
There's something about a day like this that
Makes me want to raise my fist and say
Let's rise and shine
It's time to face the world
There's something about a day like this that
Makes me want to raise my fist and say
Let's rise and shine
It's time to face the world
