The Sun Is Up, The Son Is Up.

The sun is up
The son is up
Today's no different
I'm in a limbo
To live simply
Or to Hope for a life that's
unbelievably twee?
Hmm...
They say Africans live in trees
Such insanity; comparing us to monkeys
Don't believe that notion
We're The New Black
Priceless, our ambition
Proud of our colour, we don't want to bleach, keep your bottles of lotion

The sun is up
The son is up
Hold me back
I'm out to grab
To grab what's mine
I mean, what's yours
But which would be mine in no time
I'm greedy but then again, who's not?
Most of you got rich as a result of the others you shot
Ain't that how it is?
Kill another and take his spot?

The sun is up
The son is up
It's a new day
No thoughts of yesterday
I wanted to grab what's yours
But now, I contemplate
My thoughts clouded by feelings of guilt
Pause...
Why take something that's not yours?
Upwards to the heavens, my head and eyes tilt
My resolution is brief and swift

The sun is up
The son is up
Today's different
I won't be swayed by evil
I won't be confused
I don't want to be like the sun
That gives way for clouds to take over
I'm enthused
The calm has returned; I'm sober
I've made a decision
To be a better man
I'm made of black
And I won't choose the ways of the dark
The sun is up
And I'm not asleep
I'm working, grinding, hustling
All on a daily
To provide for me
To provide for my family
