[00:15.846]Open my eyes to a new day, spreading my wings
[00:17.911]Taking shots of Crown cause I'm going through things
[00:20.476]Everybody got they hands out looking for green
[00:23.037]Coattails getting heavy cause I'm living my dream
[00:25.356]I'm trying to school these young niggas it ain't all what it seems
[00:28.179]I still struggle just like you, and I still hustle just like you
[00:32.260]But it just so happens that Big Pooh doing what he love to do
[00:35.626]Get back to my work, cause I was penning on this piece last night
[00:39.712]That'll drive these niggas berserk
[00:41.252]Tiggalo hit me up, Pooh its time to murk
[00:43.610]Throw on a pair of sweats, A1's, a white shirt
[00:45.912]Headed back to the shop, back to the spot where the hits keep coming
[00:50.007]Stack them up like bricks, you can call me the mason of shit
[00:53.755]Foundation has been rock solid no replacing, ya dig?
[00:55.038]No replacing my nig, on everything that I live
[00:58.133]We gonna let this bitch ride to our trains collide
[01:01.232]Or we fall off track, and ain't no bringing me back
[01:03.798]And everything that go for you the same applies to Pat
[01:05.858][01:06.047]
[01:06.364]Cause even though the birds ain't singin' and the sun ain't shinin'
[01:09.163]It looks like a beautiful morning
[01:10.928][01:10.486]
[01:11.428]Each day's another chance to do the things I could've
[01:13.986]Done the day before, but I didn't and I known I should've
[01:16.531]So I say a prayer for the gone for gooders
[01:19.338]Who left this world, then kiss my girl "good mornin', sugar"
[01:21.398]Another sunrise, and as much as I would love
[01:24.511]To roll over on you I cannot do it because
[01:26.881]The good Lord I prayed to him
[01:28.664]And he said, "Niggas is listening now"
[01:30.696]So I better have something to say to 'em
[01:32.498]So I'mma tell 'em how it went down, man
[01:34.809]Doin' shows for free goin' outta town, man
[01:37.135]The way I almost broke down and, got a 9 to 5
[01:40.230]Cause I had more press than the soundscans
[01:42.515]This is the price that I pay for this music
[01:44.572]And every word that I write is a testament to it
[01:47.150]And if I had to go back, I wouldn't change a thing
[01:49.698]Wouldn't re-cut it, re-edit, or change a frame
[01:52.296]Cause it would not be fair, to turn my back on the struggle
[01:54.872]When that exact same hustle got me here
[01:57.423]Told niggas from the getup, we three the hard way
[01:59.953]And Broadway's the only place you'll ever throw a set up
[02:02.756]Speechless is all you'd be if we ever met up
[02:05.334]I survived far to much now to ever let up, mother****er
[02:07.375]
[02:07.629]Cause even though the birds ain't singin' and the sun ain't shinin'
[02:10.452]It looks like a beautiful morning
[02:12.240]
[02:12.747]I went from niggas tellin' me I really shouldn't rhyme
[02:15.850]To droppin' a cla-
[02:16.876]Ay, hol' up man, hol' up, ayo
[02:19.221]Ayo, Imma do it over, hol' on
