(Wake up, Wake up
Wake up, Wake up)
Thank God for the day, thank God for the mornin'
Won't take this here for granted no good Lord I gots to get on it
With every breath I take, or move I make, I gots to keep wantin'
A better life for me, and all of mine, no time for that yawnin'
In the bed waitin', procrastinatin', I gots to be hungry
Too old for games that don't mean a thing, can't play with my homies
Just know I'm payin' dues if I don't pick up for ya, whenever you phone me
Cause being broke ain't fun and that pity party I threw is startin' to get borin'
Good mornin'
I know today gonna be the best day of my life, my life
(Wake up, wake up)
I know today gonna be the best day of my life
(Wake up, wake up)
Gotta keep my head out the clouds and my feet on the ground
Gotta be realistic, stop talkin' and listen
Cause at the blink of an eye your life'll pass you by, good Lord you missed it now
You're wishin' that you went slow, took advantage of that 2-4
Yeah you gave your all to get your back from off the wall but you can give more
Stand tall against the grain, be yourself don't do the same
As the next man cause all paths are different, so don't jump the train
Hell, we can't complain, for this borrowed time
So don't misuse yours, cause you can't borrow mine
Good mornin'
I know today gonna be the best day of my life, my life
(Wake up, wake up)
I know today gonna be the best day of my life
(Wake up, wake up)
Gotta keep my head out the clouds and my feet on the ground
