Lyrics

Wake up in the morning feeling good
Takin' care of business like I should
We don't talk about it, we just do it
'Til all my people make it out the woods

Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it

Winchester been good to me
Something bout them Maryland woods just do it for me
Don't fade away don't fade my homie
I was destined for the grave fo you came my homie
I gotta chance to glance thru Montana
I told Rello they'll never understand your gramma
Sometimes you gotta just leave to succeed in life
Smoke a lil weed, enjoy the breeze and just ease thru life
Pops told me To watch the people I'm hanging with
They seem cool but a crew of fools is dangerous dangerous
Riding thru Idaho gave me another view point
We gotta arrested but they only found bout two joints
Most of my friends have never been to salt lake
They a lil different, but that could be said for all states
I couldn't get drunk no matter how many beers I drank
Times have changed I miss you and hope you're all safe

Wake up in the morning feeling good
Takin' care of business like I should
We don't talk about it, we just do it
'Til all my people make it out the woods

'Fore Dr. King was a grown man
A white boy was his best friend
Just kids having fun back then
Shit was cool till the grownups stepped in
And they pointed out their differences like "no offense"
Sounds ridiculous shit don't make no sense
The World got you thinking that you're less than
Got u feeling uncomfortable in your own skin
But turning the other cheek made a strong chin
And plenty character got built like a home gym
You're gon' bend, just don't break
Till we break them chains of racism round our bone shins
Quit observing history through a fogged lens
Like them Jim Crow Laws wasn't a whole trend
Like life is in black and white, and it won't blend
Riding in a black & white Benz er'day I

Wake up in the morning feeling good
Takin' care of business like we should
We don't talk about it, we just do it
'Til all my people make it out the woods

Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it

Black lives never mattered in America
This country don't judge you by the content of your character
The color of my skin causes mass hysteria
That's the reason why they target urban areas
Cause in they eyes I'm guilty till proven innocent
Don't care if you a law biding, tax paying citizen
It ain't about justice, it's all about the Benjamins
That's why they over policing and over sentencing
They throw the book at you hit you in the mouth
No mercy from the court, no benefit of the doubt
One false move, they whipping them pistols out
Just thank the lord I made it to the house
So tomorrow I can

Wake up in the morning feeling good
Takin' care of business like I should
We don't talk about it, we just do it
'Til all my people make it out the woods

Back when Master P was bout it bout it
I was a nappy headed kid, wandering round without my future routed
Off the beaten path, I traveled when they laughed and doubted
Now the trail is overcrowded, might as well just go around it
Make a new plan, if anybody you can
Tie up all them loose ends and drop the dead weight around me
Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Shoulda, coulda, what if I
Never gave a fuck if they ever doubted

That SH!T is beautiful, proudly from the mount I shouted
Times change, people not so much, unless their soul allows it
So I searched within, looking in the mirror grinned
Told myself that I would win, went outside and took the challenge

Wake up in the morning feeling good
Takin' care of business like I should
We don't talk about it, we just do it
'Til all my people make it out the woods

Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
Lemme tell you 'bout it
