[Pre-Chorus] \nEvery day I wake up my time is now \nGonna rise to the top, ain’t no climbing down \nGot the heart of the king, Let me shine my crown \nAnd I feel so alive cause my time is now \n \n[Verse 1: Shane Kidd] \nIn my reconstruction era as I fight to be free \nFeeling late to the party wanna slide in with ease \nCause the only me I’ve known is the broken version \nLetting go of the old feel like a whole new person \nAnd had to take my time and put these skills into practice \nYou can be a dreamer, but don’t chill on your mattress \nBetter late than never late bloomer still blossom \nA rose from the concrete is a feat that still awesome \nGrateful for the God who gives more than second chances \nLife hitting different, but I’m switching up the stances \nLet God be the potter I’ll be the clay like Cassius \nRenewing all my passions because this life ain’t passive \nWas made with a purpose I’m wise, black and gifted \nAin’t worried about the opps just remain optimistic \nWas sleeping on myself now focused and I’m serious \nY’all can chase the commas I’ll create a new period \n \n[Pre-Chorus] \nEvery day I wake up my time is now \nGonna rise to the top, ain’t no climbing down \nGot the heart of the king, Let me shine my crown \nAnd I feel so alive because my time is now \n[Chorus] \nLife was on snooze, but then I had to wake up \nNow we make moves every day going way up \nNo time to lose aiming high when we wake up \nStill making moves every day going way up \n \n[Verse 2: Czar Josh] \nLiterary rebel on my Kate Chopin \nWatch me tarry like the freedmen bowing down to no man \nWe run a tight program \nWe got our people waking up from offa Moreland \nBending corners all the way to Rosecrans \nI hustle like I’m Snowman from the bottom of the map \nTryna run the whole city with the city on our back \nMoving like I’m Malcolm, like my phone lines is tapped \nStudio is like tha trap, it’s a problem that we rap \nCuz we gon tell the truth, and we know the history \nSo best believe that you revisionists be missing me \nA country brotha write a 16, sippin Tennessee \nPray the Lord Still forgive me for my tendencies \nGrassroots I ain’t trippin off the industry \nMoving like the Panthers in the 60s, cuz community \nIs all we got for the people that be feeling me \nDescending from them fields know the ancestors are listening \n \n[Pre-Chorus] \nEvery day I wake up my time is now \nGonna rise to the top, ain’t no climbing down \nGot the heart of the king, Let me shine my crown \nAnd I feel so alive because my time is now \n[Chorus] \nLife was on snooze, but then I had to wake up \nNow we make moves every day going way up \nNo time to lose aiming high when we wake up \nStill making moves every day going way up\n\n
