Shalom - Morning Prayer lyrics

WAKE UP!

We wake up bright and early and pray
The morning cause tomorrow may never come
Ever come, ever come,  ever come
In dem streets when we die we
Nuh bury nuh soldier we send dem body up in
Smoke like they were gods
We'll do anything to get to
Heaven while we're here

I woke up so awesome another day Im bossin
I count my money up that I
Made last night from tossin
Hit the streets with that product
And no one do I trust
Never show no love so that drama do I duck
Still these streets is watchin they plottin
Present that strange fruit and
Yes it's rotten
Take a bite and you'll forever
Sleep in the briar no cotton
No pillow for real though
But still though, we're eating that

Where ever they are feeding
We are feasting at ray Rice
Knock that bitch out the park and
We don't need a bat
Cause by these hood statistics
Boy I been winning
So nuts, on the highway to hell doing donuts
Im on the road to riches and
Building things that I top off
But niggas love construction
They're waiting to knock your block off
Gather round hustlas
That is you're still living
Thats if you're still living
Thats a very small circle, thats a given
But we pray that it don't end here

We wake up bright and early and pray
The morning cause tomorrow may never come
Ever come, ever come, ever come
In dem streets when we die
We nuh bury nuh soldier
We send dem body up in
Smoke like they were gods
We'll do anything to get to
Heaven while we're here

Dem media pollute us dem police wan shoot us
The government dem rule us
But we don't need dem rulers
All we need is hustlas and
Gangstas to have honor
Fathers make a better way
For sons and daughters
We nuh need dem ways to get us to Nirvana
Dem ways go to death not the promise
I promise I promise who are we to follow
If I could
Id bring back dem teachers dem leaders
Just for dem speak to us

I can see it come alive like a prophecy
The seed of destruction is the lust for
The life thats planted by the beast
Watered down and nurtured with a villainous
Rain when niggas kill for it
I know it's wrong but Im still for it
Cause my belief is this 9 to
5 ain't enough to bring relief
And I gotta feed my seed but I ain't got
Enough to eat between the two of us
And these streets keep calling
So fuck maintaining I gotta keep ballin

We wake up bright and early and pray
The morning cause tomorrow may never come
Ever come, ever come, ever come
In dem streets when we die
We nuh bury nuh soldier
We send dem body up in
Smoke like they were gods
We'll do anything to get to
Heaven while we're here

Don't go to sleep don't fall asleep
Don't go to sleep don't fall asleep
