Everyday - Bishop Lamont

I feel like… you wake up in the morning…

Like a Saturday morning and the sun’s comin’through the window.

You’re feelin’real right. That’s a blessing. Any day you can wake up.

You can’t waste a second, can’t waste a minute.

Definitely not an hour. You got one life to live.

Till Jesus come back and prove that fact

We only live once so go and get yo stack

You can take a picture but you can’t take it back

Life ain’t in VHS, we can’t rewind that

Get a pain in your chest and it just might be a wrap

Six Feet Under like the show and that’s that

Tomorrow don’t exist 'til you wake up in it

Time ain’t dependable, don’t wait for a minute

Cause life has seldom ever been a faithful bitch

See she love to flirt with death, can’t keep a relationship

So therefore, I’m a player for life

Live everyday like a bachelor

Fuck a wife

You got a dream baby, go on and dream it

But wake up if you sleepin', that’s the wrong place to see it

You gotta be alive, survive and strive to be it

I walk a path of blind faith but need no eye dog to see it

I ain’t go no wealth but I got my health

It’s a gift to wake up, time to better myself

See the sun in the sky

Feelin’like I can fly up that high

I’ll never let another day pass me by

Win or lose but at least Lord I try

It’s time to smile, ain’t no tears left to cry

Somehow, someway I’ll get by

Everyday

Ain’t nothin’in life guaranteed but death

So why debate about that, it’s a waste of breath

Fuck what you spend, it’s about what you got left

There’s no alphabetical order, no tellin’who’s next

Rollin’past the cemetery knowin’I’m blessed

Yeah life’s hard but I prefer the stress

Cause that headstone’s harder when you’re a permanent guest

We can all be deceased, I don’t mind being depressed

Any day’s a good day, even one’s that weren’t the best

On the freeway that could be me in a fatal car wreck

Plane crash, gun blast, cancer in my chest

And still even then you got a fightin’chance

So don’t stop movin’til the end of the dance

And when the music stops make the beat with your hands

I’m a kick this real shit until I kick the can

Just cause we do, life don’t have to stick to a plan

I ain’t got no time to waste

I got to get it while the gettin’is good 'fore I’m up outta this place

I ain’t got no time to waste

I got hopes, I got dreams that I’m tryin’to chase

I ain’t got no time to waste

I’m a make it, I’m a take it to the top cause haters said I can’t

I ain’t got no time to waste

I’m a grind, shine, make my momma proud and put a smile on her face

Yeah

Who am I?

The answers much deeper

For now let’s just say I’m your motivational speaker

Street surgeon general for ghetto individuals

Feelin’like Chernobyl when you’re almost in critical

I can’t turn water into wine, make a miracle

But I can spit a rhyme to make your life more livable

Conjoined twins feel the same pain, there’s struggle’s identical

Like Tomax and?, I’ve been where you finna go

If I don’t change a life what the fuck I’m rappin’fo'?

This ain’t the W but I can open the do'

The rest is on you, you better know what to do

Chances don’t come with instructions, if any very few

Opportunity knocks and seldom calls

It pass you By like Pharcyde if you ain’t on the ball

No guts no glory with my back on the wall

Whatever life might throw, I’ll be ready to brawl

I ain’t go no wealth but I got my health

It’s a gift to wake up, time to better myself

See the sun in the sky

Feelin’like I can fly up that high

I’ll never let another day pass me by

Win or lose but at least Lord I try

It’s time to smile, ain’t no tears left to cry

Somehow, someway I’ll get by
