lyrics

Intro Chorus
I don’t know bout’ you but
I gotta’ pick my shoes up
I gotta’ pick my tools up
I gotta’ make moves in the morning
in the morning (x7)

Verse One
I came so close to quitting
but when I look back to the words I’ve written
the same words I’ve been spitting for so long
I knew that giving up would be so wrong
I’m strong, that’s what I gotta’ be spiritually
in my soul, in my mind mentally and physically
guarantee my positive moves are made visibly
I was never brought on this earth to live miserably
so I made my own decisions
and had my own vision executed with precision
to make music and get y’all to listen
I committed to it stuck to the mission
then I arrived at a place
where I watched no face and I left no trace
of underperforming, slacking or stalling
it doesn’t end here, I’ll see you in the morning, the morning


Chorus
I don’t know bout’ you but
I gotta’ pick my shoes up
I gotta’ pick my tools up
I gotta’ make moves in the morning (clap)
(x7) in the morning (clap)


Verse Two
To the Most High I gotta’ show gratitude
for those who did me wrong I aint’ mad at you
it’s just I had to change up my attitude
and get much closer to the things that really matter dude
now I have a much better latitude
better situations and all the things that, that includes
taking advantage of the assets that I haven’t used
to bring you all the kind of sound that really dazzles you
and put it on cycle mode
and incorporate all the things I’m told
and always step with a step that’s bold
and that’s my way till the day I’m old
cos my words aint’ made for ignoring
and life wasn’t made to be boring
and man was not created to be warring
just to work hard so I’ll see you in the morning, the morning


Chorus


Verse Three
Yo, life’s hard lets face it
but it wasn’t meant to be basic or meant to be wasted
so if you need to give yours a facelift
do it but understand you gotta’ have patience
and if you think by doing the bare minimum
everything you’ve worked for will pay off in dividends (no way)
you’re wrong and need clarification
yo you gotta’ go beyond your expectations
and when you did that go beyond that
cos you get out what you put in that’s a fact
so if you desire sotin’ go for it
work hard then work some mo’ for it
try your best to save a little doe for it
teach yourself the things you need to know for it
(yeah) and this really aint’ a warning
all I’m trying to say is be ready for the morning, the morning


Chorus
