[Intro]
(Wake up, Wake up
Wake up, Wake up)

[Verse 1]
Thank God for the day, thank God for the morning
Won't take this here for granted, no good Lord I gots to get on it
With every breath I take, or move I make, I gots to keep wanting
A better life for me, and all of mine, no time for that yawning
In the bed waiting, procrastinating, I gots to be hungry
Too old for games that don't mean a thing, can't play with my homies
Just know I'm paying dues if I don't pick up for ya, whenever you phone me
Cause being broke ain't fun and that pity party I threw is starting to get boring
Good morning

[Chorus]
I know today gonna be the best day of my life
(Wake up, wake up)
My life
(Wake up, wake up)
I know today gonna be the best day of my life
(Wake up, wake up)
Gotta keep my head out the clouds and my feet on the ground
(Wake up, wake up)

[Verse 2]
Gotta be realistic, stop talking and listen
Cause at the blink of an eye your life'll pass you by, good Lord you missed it
Now, you're wishing that you went slow, took advantage of that 2-4
Yeah you gave your all to get your back from off the wall but you can give more
Stand tall against the grain, be yourself, don't do the same
As the next man cause all paths are different, so don't jump the train
Hell, we can't complain, for this borrowed time
So don't misuse yours, cause you can't borrow mine
Good morning

[Chorus]
I know today gonna be the best day of my life
(Wake up, wake up)
My life
(Wake up, wake up)
I know today gonna be the best day of my life
(Wake up, wake up)
Gotta keep my head out the clouds and my feet on the ground
(Wake up, wake up)

[Outro: KRIT & Pops]
*Phone Ringing*
Yo, what's up, pop?
What's up J? I was gonna catch you before your day started. Just let you know I'm proud of you man, I know it's just like yesterday that you lost your grandmama, I know she proud of you too
Man, no doubt man, I appreciate it, pop, man I'm finna go and get up at it man, you know I'msaying? I'ma hit you up a little later though, pop
Okay
