Sunrise to Sunset - song lyrics
Alarms buzzing, Biggie got me humming
Bout to fake a sickie and do nothing
My brother Micky gets me rushing
Late for school but I'm still coming
Get out of bed, grab my pencil lead
Fuck textbooks I get my black-book instead
Double dose coffee to wake me from the dead
Spray on coats of Ralph Lauren, Polo red
Out the door adios to my homestead
Light a fag on the way to the station
Rapping to an old school compilation
Life fuzzy and music was my mediation
I'm the curry of rap with more dedication
Standing on the platform in my crap uniform
Which my parents struggled to afford
All I wanna do is sit home and record
Please Lord make today a good day
Wake up, wipe my sleep away
Throw away what happened yesterday
Cause today's gonna be a good day
Cause today's gonna be a good day
Cause today's gonna be a good day
Cause today's gonna be a good day
At school I wasn't seen as suitable
I got to school late as usual
Teachers saw me as a juvenile
I spent most classes in the cubicle
Writing lyrics that were beautiful
I sat at the back, scribbling my raps
Tryna disguise what was hidden in my bag
I didn't revise for a single exam
I'd rather get baked in Amsterdam
Or sell flakes by the kilogram
I guarantee this isn't meant for me
At 7 I could foresee I was destine to be an MC
Master in phonology
My yapper got me in a lot of trouble
Tried to fight it but I never had the muscle
I could never sit still and act subtle
I was good will but life was a puzzle
Real struggle, anyway
I hope today's a good day
Wake up, wipe my sleep away
Throw away what happened yesterday
Cause today's gonna be a good day
Cause today's gonna be a good day
Cause today's gonna be a good day
Cause today's gonna be a good day
I packed my shit as the bell sounded
Had to wait a bit, station crowded
Authority omit, I was surrounded
Little kids losing it, they all shouted
Hopped off the train with the possi
For a quick ciggie and a coffee
Straight banter was a hobby
Got home, it was dark and late
Headed upstairs to delegate
My time to record my EP
See homework was ignored permanently
Young kid with a big dream
Some say bigger than Martin Luther King
I say fuck sticking to the mainstream
It's like Hip-Hop runs through my bloodstream
This a regime of the slick supreme
And like Wu-Tang I got the cream
I'm as smooth as glass
Take a quick photograph
So you won't forget this ass
And as the sun sets, I feel like I got my life set
As I kick back listening to my cassette
And I guess today was a good day
Wake up, wipe my sleep away
Throw away what happened yesterday
Cause today's gonna be a good day
Cause today's gonna be a good day
Cause today's gonna be a good day
