Every mornin' when I wake, I hit my knees, and pray I'm so thankful, I learn a new lesson everyday I was schemin', runnin' wild, and then I caught a case I was locked up in a cage, that's when it all came to my brain Keep your head up, Kodak, get out there, just do your thing Get your bread up, Kodak, you ain't got no time to play I was fed up, lost a lot, but never lost my faith Cause there's reason's, I go through what I'm goin' through today Had to tell myself, "Kodak, you don't bother, you in trouble" Had to tell myself, "Fuck my friends, cause all I got is my brothers" Then I told myself, "Fuck these hoes, all I need is my mother" Cause I realize, that I wouldn't be shit without my mama Please forgive me Lord, know you understand that it's a struggle Just a li'l boy, in these streets, got caught up with the hustle This for my two brother's, all we got is each other I would be nothin' without em, that's why I love em I gotta say prayer, I gotta stay positive Imma step up to the plate, won't run a way, like my father did Try to put my nigga on, but he didn't stick to the code I ain't tryin' that shit no more, I'm just gon' keep my focus on I gotta keep movin' forward, I can't get caught up in my ways I been lost out here like Pacman, feelin' like I'm in a maze Steady leanin' off promethazine, I ain't got no Medicaid It's destined I'm gon' see my blessings, gon' be better days You wasn't worried bout me then, why you worried bout me now? Thank the Lord for what I got, cause I use to wear Fila Niggas tryna boss me out, been up, but I've been down a lot Everything is temporary, don't get comfortable in your spot You could be droppin' your girl at work, he'll be runnin' up in your spot My niggas locked up, watchin' the clock, I can't wait until he drop Kinda brace up on the wall, when I talk they drop the wall You should want me to excel, why you wanna see me fall? I been coughin' all night, it done really got severe They say I should get it cured, before it get even worse So they gave me cough drops, but I'm drinkin' cough syrup In the coupe, I'm tryna splurge, and I'm fine off the herbs Skrrt, skrrt
