BRIGHTER DAY Lyrics by ILLUS

2011

Verse 1 - Craig G

Wake up in the morning trying to better myself
Negativity, never can help
I bring extreme heat, the leather can melt
Craig g illus the mc, we are authors of the letters you felt, right
I urge you to stand in direct sunlight
On the dark side of the world, the funds never come right
Live it to the fullest cause u only get one life
To make my mark on the globe i went sleep to some nights
But belive me, ain't nothing like hard work
Rather be in the black than the front like a store clerk
While you forfeit the game cause someone on your squads hurt
I suit up when you give up fella put down your moms purse
This is life 101, and i ain't tryna pass bad vibes down on my son
Karma is a real thing, so be careful of your actions
Theres a message in the lyrics dont be fearful of the rappin'
Now hang with 9 brute friends, you bound to be the 10th one
Life passes you by, and no you dont get an extention
And i know my son is watching, so i make a good impression
Theres no question, the younger generations needs the lessons

Chorus - Block Mccloud
Wake up everybody, on the way to make it to the lions den
Its a recognize that tomorrow ain't promised
Gotta teach our children how to find their way
Im a awake

Verse 2 - Illus
I wake up in the morning to embrace a new day
Regardless if its sunny or gray its all okey
I celebrate life and fight for a better day
A soldier of the light i shine bright like a sunray
I elevate and grow never stagnate the flow
Have faith in my faith and never follow the status quo
I know its never easy
But its worth the struggle to be free, people belive me
We gotta unite, and do right, and choose life
Take flight dream big, reach for new heights
I choose love over hate, i always do what i say
Im no fake i create, I grew up in this great
Im not who i was yesterday tomorrow ill be even better
I can't wait make no mistake
My strenght come from my heart
I dont act like im hard
I dont rap for the charts
I just give it my all
And give my best to stand tall, and walk throught
Cause in the end thats all i can do
Im with improve, in the power of love
Never front i dont quit
Im to gifted and different
Uplifted and infinite
And vision isnt it worth living in a world where kids can grow without war
Without fear without hate
Thats why im here to inspire and educate
Its time to awake

Chorus - Block Mccloud
Wake up everybody, on the way to make it to the lions den
Is a recognize that tomorrow ain't promised
Gotta teach our children how to find their way
Im a awake

Verse 3 - Reef the Lost Cauze
I wake up every morning before the sun is up
Cause usually my son is up
He hungry now i wake his mother up
So she can feed him
You could see him
My new reason for being
Im smiling im cheesin
I used to be in the streets
But i belive this
Little man came here to keep it safe for me from going of the deep end
I used to sleep in, now i watch him sleeping
Make sure he's breathin
Thoghts of him hurt turn me into a heathen
I kill everyone in your region
If i think for a second trouble hes in, i mean this
Im dreaming of a better life for me and my fam
Thats all i need in
This life are you truly my
My only reason
And i keep in mind at times i cry
Cause daddy's leaving and
Hell no he'll never know that pain or sorrow
I wake up today cause hes gonna need me tomorrow
I wake up today cause hes gonna need me tomorrow
