In The Sun

Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Yo, coming from a city like Milwaukee The weather there has taught me That a foggy day don't mean there's no sun Between being a man of God Or no one walking the streets I yield for no one (whoo) Life is like a sword I wanna wield it like a shogun Swinging back and forth as I road run Like Chuck D says “My uzi weighs a ton" So I gotta use it well if I want to succeed My mama said, son There's no less pain in the heart of the city Thanks mama, Now that I'm older I've witnessed both extremes And love seems to be the ocean While the pain is the stream that leads to it People say your life seems so fluid But I tell 'em yo, it just seems that way Cause in reality pain comes from day to day And many bruises I've made from the bumps and mistakes If you get a bruise in life, don't keep rubbin' it Let God take it away Yo, we gotta hit it, quit it, learn from it, love it Life lessons all around for the discovering If the area's sore, don't keep rubbin' it Let it try to heal itself, let it try to heal itself, let it try to heal itself Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Truth born In the deepest part of the great lakes Living in the heart of the mitten state The Midwest vibe Where the Sun don't shine, half the time And cats got Cali dreams on their minds There's something in the water Making this part of the world here Brighter than a light bulb idea Let creativity be the contrast, clear To all the greys and browns That want to keep us down We live it up (Moving swift) to the rhythm of my heartbeat Shuffling feet absorbing heat from these concrete streets Immersed deep in the struggle To find the balance between being myself And letting myself go I strive to reflect the energy given by The most high like the lunar guide in the night sky Eyes open searching for the luminous truth And letting go of the useless excuses Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun Every morning I wake up with a choice to live life And I yearn to live it out in the sun
