[Intro]
Rise and shine
You gotta get up get out get somethin...

[Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T.]
Early morning, kinda sleepy, still yawning
Log on and, dial toning
Forever phoning, for a blessing
Will you help me get my ass up out the bed and go
God love me cause he said it so
Don't look away cause I beg for more
Than I ever ever had
Praying for the future but I'm dealing with the past
Mama say I'm worried cause I'm too much like my dad
Some things are forever, nothing ever last
Like the rising of the sun or when big mama passed
Time travel fast, search and you shall find
Awake from yo slumber, open up yo blinds

[Hook: Big K.R.I.T.]
Rise and shine!
"The latest I can be was on time"
You gotta get up get out and get something
Why rest when all the world running
RISE AND SHINE!
"If life is a dream why sleep at all"
Nothing ever come to those that just wait
Don't ever lose sight of your goals just keep straight

[Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T.]
The early bird gets the worm, you live and you learn
(I been waiting on my chance) well you gotta wait your turn
To who it may concern, ain't much time left
Gotta fight to the death for my family
M.J. baseline they can't handle me
Slam dunk hang time like a canopy
Tired sitting on the couch
Watching celebs pout about the troubles of a million dollar house
So tell 'em I'm out on my grizzly
Put'cha lighters in the air if you feel me
I ain't lying it's the time
To wake up, wipe ya eyes
Rise and shine
Uh, yo, yo
Free yo mind
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo

[Hook: Big K.R.I.T.]
Rise and shine!
"The latest I can be was on time"
You gotta get up get out and get something
Why rest when all the world running
RISE AND SHINE!
"If life is a dream why sleep at all"
Nothing ever come to those that just wait
Don't ever lose sight of your goals just keep straight
Rise and shine!
