Sunrise

(album: To Kill A Sunrise - 2021)

This time
It won't be the curly
Roses, roses, roses
Yeah (Ooh)
Statik Selektah

I'm coming for it all, everything I saw before I came
Was a legend from a baby, put respect upon my name
Not a slave, I'm the boss, never see me in no chains
My fire is eternal, ain't no limit to my range
My internal got me pivoting all through external change
You can't stop me if you tried, they told you different? They lied
Peace, knowledge and dividends, love is still trumping Benjamins
I'ma enjoy my time on this planet, fuck it, I'm visiting
If I'ma be a star, the light I'm serving is Michelin
I'm all over New York like my metro card is unlimited
I'm coming out of cars in Los Angeles like the trigger is
Serenade Chicago, I put a blanket on Michigan
The devil see me coming, he soaking like, yo, that's him again
Helping people out of the fallacy they been living in
Forty-something minutes, I keep 'em focused like Ritalin
My mission is completed through writtens uplifting villages, yeah

One for the bread, two for the show
Thoughts in my head, I'm in tune with the flow
I don't have no regrets, not consumed by my lows
I reflect, next minute we back
Money calling, we back, sun shining, we back
Curtain open, we back, wanna know where I've been
They wanna know where I'm at
Thanks for having my back

Thank you for even listening, sifting through all the dissonance
Me and Statik consider this compilation felicitous
Thank you for pressing play, they been trying to kill a sunrise
But you can't contain the sun, trust me, we have just begun
Hear me running from behind
Showing you the silver lining as I show you where I'm from
I got Brooklyn in my head, New York City in my lungs
They gon' miss me when I'm dead, do not let that make you glum
Everybody gotta go
But as long as I am stuck in this body I'm slinging hope and healthier ways to cope
Help you to stay afloat, wealthy? Okay, you're broke
I seen everything, everyone knowing I'm speaking code, like

One for the bread, two for the show
Thoughts in my head, I'm in tune with the flow
I don't have no regrets, not consumed by my lows
I reflect, next minute we back
Money calling, we back, sun shining, we back
Curtain open, we back, wanna know where I've been
They wanna know where I'm at
Thanks for having my back

We back, we back
We back, where I've been
Where I'm at
Thanks for having my back
