[Verse 1:]*
3
I woke up early in the mornin' hoes blowin up my phone
4
Ain't use to small talkin' when they know I'm Tryna bone, Fuck em'
5
I'll holla later man, right now my mind else where
6
My moms health care get her out this hell here
7
Alot of niggas fail, but frail niggas won't prevail here
8
We seen it all man niggas can't even spell scared
9
A fresh prince but yo my city ain't no Bel-Air
10
Fuck if you would sell, I'm worried bout my welfare
11
So farewell to them broke days and bonjour to the most paid
12
Soon as my dough straight I throw the wifey in some dolce and put some chains on my niggas like own slaves
13
I get up look out the window hope the sun shining down on a nigga outhere front lining
14
I hit the streets and see them boys out here locking up some older head
15
So god damn homey hold ya head (And hold ya head)
16
[Chorus:]
17
I get up
18
I see the clouds from my window
19
I pray the sun gon' shine this way
20
And where I go as the wind blow
21
Momma ya son gon' find his way
22
And if I gotta crawl I'm a make to the end though
23
Up to the top if climb my way
24
And tell em' I'm a rise I'm on my...
25
Headed for the sky I'm on my way
26
[Verse 2:]
27
Paint a picture and show the deaf what it's like to listen
28
And speak the words and tell a blind man what he missin'
29
For all my niggas doin' time man up in prison
30
Thought you had to resort to crime man fuck the system
31
We raisin' babies up in hades where it ain't' no hope
32
Ain't no fathers don't take no scholarship to slang no dope
33
Politicians hollerin' bout' problems but I ain't gon' vote
34
He talk bout change still we floatin' in the same ol' boat
35
So tell me how I'm suppose to feel when the president spoke
36
When he ain't neva had to struggle ain't neva been broke
37
Ain't even roll through the ghetto ain't neva been close
38
Trustin' this government like trustin' the devil in oath
39
A rebel with quotes
40
I get up
41
Life style of the young black and reckless
42
A generation of niggas strapped and askin' questions
43
Like tell me why ain't got shit
44
I let this liquor fill my liver with them toxic
45
As I sip
46
[Chorus:]
47
I get up
48
I see the clouds from my window
49
I pray the sun gon' shine this way
50
And where I go as the wind blow
51
Momma ya son gon' find his way
52
And if I gotta crawl I'm a make to the end though
53
Up to the top if climb my way
54
And tell em' I'm a rise I'm on my...
55
Headed for the sky I'm on my way
56
[Verse 3:]
57
Yeah
58
To all my niggas paper chasin'
59
I pray for your patience
60
Just keep the faith that you gon' make it one day you'll be cakin'
61
Takin' this shit one step at a time
62
That real shit is stuck in my mind but to that bullshit I'm deaf and I'm blind
63
Destined to shine I'm a find a way
64
Cause hey
65
Dammit them jobs outthere ain't tryna pay
66
I pray
67
Granted 9 to 5 is how you survive
68
I ain't tryna survive, I'm tryna throw my momma in rides
69
I'm a provide for my seed I'm the soil
70
I teach em' bout' loyalty
71
I teach em' that his skin black like oil that's for royalty
72
I show em' all the things that my pops was neva showin' me
73
Treat em' like a growin' tree with this poetry
74
I get up
75
And show the sons how to lead not to follow
76
The present is our gift but our seeds got tommorow
77
So please niggas raise your kids
78
And help em' overcome that bull shit they daze us with
79
I blaze the shit
80
[Chorus:]
81
I get up
82
I see the clouds from my window
83
I pray the sun gon' shine this way
84
And where I go as the wind blow
85
Momma ya son gon' find his way
86
And if I gotta crawl I'm a make to the end though
87
Up to the top if climb my way
88
And tell em' I'm a rise I'm on my...
89
Headed for the sky I'm on my way
