Woke up to the sunshine
Now I think time we about to double time
We clocked in for the remainder of our stubborn life
Ran off on the plug too many times
Get you snubbed with iron
So tell me what it take
For you to believe
That today’s the day that we gone be free
See the world and grab it by the hand
Where we’re going there’s no need to go back
See the sun rising up in the sky
See you later cus it’s never goodbye
I’m sipping sake on a summer day not wine
I’m sipping sake on a summer day cus why not
Woke up with a new approach
But I ain’t working today
So I’m finna raise a toast
Probably hit the coast
With a couple of my friends
Tried to walk a straight path
Got lost up in the bends
Came up on some ends
Cus the pain feel better when you whipping in a Benz
Shorty tell you friends
That they could meet mine
I see the glimmer in her eye
my prize was growing up by her side
Yeah we ride
Cus the only thing certain in this life is that we die
So enjoy your 15 even if it end up 5
Yeah we survive
Off the feelings from this vibe
Tell me it don’t get you high
But I told myself
That today I do it different
Take a step back from speaking
And just focus on the listen
If we want to work the system
Got to do it our rhythm
It start with freeing all our children
Giving back they hope and wishes
I can’t tell you what it is
I can tell you what it isn’t
I can tell you about all the work that put me in this position
But I rather go and show it
Just a poet hoping that you notice
Whatever you been through, somebody been through
They just had their moment
So tell me what it take
For you to believe
That today’s the day that we gone be free
See the world and grab it by the hand
Where we’re going there’s no need to go back
See the sun rising up in the sky
See you later cus it’s never goodbye
I’m sipping sake on a summer day not wine
I’m sipping - I’m probably sipping both of them to be honest with ya
