lyrics

Everyday

Everyday, Every single day
Everyday, Every single day

Verse I:

Lately, I been wakin’, middle of a day dream…
Thinking bout my paper, bills stack the table…
Rip up all them paper, can you get me faded….
Tell me bout the legends of the dreamers who have made it, ah
I’m a facelift… to my own faceless…
vision of the day inside the day I’d never take it, nah
My life is sacred… my life is sacred
Every page my novel I’m no longer scared to face it

Verse II:

Lately, I wake screams, middle of these night dreams
Thinking bout the inseams, I scheme the highbeams
You know all I’ve seen, rather hit by lightning
Than rehash all the drama of the season past that I scream
I fiend what I see, believe what you be
I see the icing… that I sing… when I swing
from sightings of my dreams that flash even a chance
of everything I’m writing, this new life—exciting

Wake to my yawn I take to the dawn and start my morning proper like
Say my grace to the sun gon’ rise and the light it bring my swollen eyes
Touch my face, say amen that I slept through the night, brought back to life
Size my day, roll out my bed, look outside then I drop to my mat
Stretch my limbs, feel my breath, lower my chest feel the power in my fists
Lead with my heart, fresh new start, water drink my body clean
Thank my home, put on my clothes, I’m out the door to meet the dream
Drink my coffee doing my work, it’s the simple things that make G’s work

(Speaks)
Speak to the day I lean in a way my vision say that I should move
Intuition, I’m in a groove, I prove myself through the life I choose
Use my smarts, hustle hard, trust myself to define my god
When I walk, head to the sky, greet the people eye to eye
I’m inside the rhymes that I write I’m living free outside the lines
I am time, I am space, say my grace with the food I make
Give and take, trust and faith, night engulf the day I made
It gets late, close my eyes, thank the stars for the bricks I laid
(Paid)
