1
When I wake up, I look into the mirror
2
I can see a clearer vision
3
I should start living today
4
'Cause today is gonna be the day
5
Is gonna be the day
6
'Cause today is gonna be the day
7
Is gonna be the day
8
Yeah, it's like every day I wake up
9
I stare into space and don't say much
10
Peer in the mirror, feeling dead from the face up
11
Coffee pots, cigarettes, morning Js, Baileys
12
Slowing down my day before it picks up the pace
13
Beats playing since the night before
14
Thinking 'bout writing songs
15
Feeling exhausted from times we toured constant
16
And plus the toxics I sip got me tall
17
Still tipsy, staring at the city
18
From the spot we call Los Angeles
19
Every day is like a blank canvas
20
Carving my initials in the planet like I brand it
21
Handpicked to live this life we take for granted
22
Like a child with an upright bass, we can't stand it
23
Smiling through the trouble we face, tryna manage
24
My way without pumping my brakes and staying stagnant
25
'Cause I can sit on my ass or just imagine
26
The madness I did on my path and paint the canvas
27
When I wake up, I look into the mirror
28
I can see a clearer vision
29
I should start living today
30
'Cause today is gonna be the day
31
Is gonna be the day
32
'Cause today is gonna be the day
33
Is gonna be the day
34
Before I rise and shine like a neon sign
35
I need the girl of my dreams to give me Einstein
36
And burn the marijuan' like [incomprehensible]
37
Is my only bonafide break from these confines
38
I need a change of scenery like a mind tide
39
These kids bringing me the noise like the bomb squad
40
And everybody coming at me from the blindside
41
I'm tired, it's hard to open up my eyes wide
42
I listen to some theme music on the iPod
43
And walk around the crib doing little odd jobs
44
Checking my breath, take a view from this high rise
45
Feeling like I'm checking out a game from the sideline
46
I got to try different things in these trying times
47
Twenty-ten is different than it was in nine-five
48
It's come alive time, I picked a fine time
49
For getting open off life like a fine wine
50
When I wake up, I look into the mirror
51
I can see a clearer vision
52
I should start living today
53
'Cause today is gonna be the day
54
Is gonna be the day
55
'Cause today is gonna be the day
56
Is gonna be the day
57
Uh, yeah, Sunday morning, plan my day out
58
Whole new blueprint, brand new layout
59
Deep down still don't know if it'll play out
60
Before the first time, feel like I done found a way out
61
Skin getting clearer and it feel like I lost weight
62
Stop and say a prayer for the times I lost faith
63
Troubles of the world had me in a cross-face
64
Chicken-wing, sickening, liver so off-base
65
But now it's like I'm in the last lap of the car chase
66
And I finally understand my right to choose
67
My preacher man told me it could always be worse
68
Even the three-legged dog still got three good legs to lose
69
So you can stop and refresh the rules
70
Breathe in, breathe out, let it heal all your exit wounds
71
Something inside said that's the move
72
And made it today, I'll restart fresh and new
73
When I wake up, I look into the mirror
74
I can see a clearer vision
75
I should start living today
76
'Cause today is gonna be the day
77
Is gonna be the day
78
'Cause today is gonna be
79
The day is gonna be
80
The day is gonna be
81
The day is gonna be
82
The day is gonna be
83
The day is gonna be
84
The day is gonna be
85
The day is gonna be
86
The day is gonna be
