I grew up in them backyards back-hand If I back talked

I became a man amongst this asphalt

Made them understand I ain't no outlaw

Bitch, I made some bands with my friends since the sandbox

Still learning how, to become a man still dream of Grandpa

That's man talk, you was my friend, way before I could talk, and walk.

I'd run off in the sun so I can finally shake your hand

And to let you know that, your daughter raised 2 honest men

Ideas became a hotbox, I pray I never land

My denim had some grass spots, don't wanna fall again

My tears helped me grow crops, won't ever starve again

I still remember our house phone number, I hope you call again

I hope you call again

This my morning sunrise, I never lost hope (nah)

This my morning sunrise, I never lost hope (nah)

This my morning sunrise, I never lost hope (nah)

This my morning sunrise, I never lost hope (nah)

My mind state almost went violent, I knew it wasn't me cause I ain't never liked sirens

What's your role in your suffering, problems keep piling

I was force-fed desires, lived my life on auto-pilot dawg

I had to rely on my will (wheel) for realignment, dawg

All that anger, shit I probably could've led a riot

That's when Rooga was my stylist

Man I seen some things that vandalized my eyelids,

Look inside my closet, my two pairs of jeans kept me modest.

THIS MY MORNING SUNRISE

I look off in the distance where I can see the birds fly

I'm thankful that I never had to wake up to some gunfire, a praying mother like no other kept her sons purified

Bless her heart, bless her soul, and bless her mind

I pray he keep blessing mine

We had to lose almost everything so we could finally find, find that light thru suffering, find that light thru buffering

This song could serve as your guide, this our morning sunrise

This our morning sunrise, we never lost hope (nah)

This our morning sunrise, we never lost hope (nah)

This our morning sunrise, we never lost hope (nah)

This our morning sunrise, we never lost hope (nah)
