Mike Dreams Rise & Shine (feat. Christina Sophia)
(Verse 1)
Just waking up in the morning
Gotta thank God
I must say, I'm proud to be alive
Proud to be the one
To breathe another day
Receive another 24 hours of time
Last night, I came home
Like the Prodigal son
I guess it may seem
That I was drifting on a dream
A little unsure of my purpose in life
And if my purpose was right
But now I'm bursting on the scene
I hear the birds chirping
As I pull back the curtains
Let the sun shine in
Time to get to grindin'
I wake up every morning
Shower, gather my belongings
And hop out to face this vast world
We reside in
Was destined for rhyming
But figured out that I couldn't
Contribute to all the negative
Cuz my talent was heaven sent
And this is Evidence
Like Dilated Peoples
Your favorite dreamer is back
For the sequel
So rise and shine
(Chorus)
So rise and shine
Good Morning!
I hope you're feeling fine!
‘Cuz I'm soaring!
Rise and shine!
Good Morning!
I hope you're feeling fine!
‘Cuz I'm soaring!
Oh, oh! (Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!) (4x)
(Verse 2)
I told I'm not trying to be the greatest
Not trying to say I'm better than
The veterans that made it
But view how I contemplate it
Two decades I've resided
On this third rock from the sun
Got me feeling like my options to fail
Are slim to none
Even through the hardest endeavors
I'm stomping on the devil's head
He said I could sell drugs
But I ain't want the devil's bread
Just to cop the ice
Yellow and white like deviled eggs
I go against the grain
Just to show ‘em what a rebel is
Bask and revel with
All of my rhetoric
Subject and predicate
Black man with etiquette
Still keep it benevolent
I'm presenting prevalence
Just give ‘em evidence
That I can stay relevant
With no neck-a-lace on
But when my records is on
Tell the world
That I reckon it's on
Young child of the king
So I beckon the throne
And take a seat
Yeah, it's best to be known
It's time to…
(Chorus)
