Good Morning
Benji. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woke up in the morning had to yawn for a minute
Exhale, you know I had to thank the God for a minute
I been drippin' in the struggle, had to pause for a minute
You never said it wasn't gon' be hard for a minute
On the side of the bed up in my thoughts for a minute
Memories runnin' 'round my head had to jog for a minute
You know I had to thank the God for a minute
Wake up in the morning, bumpin' Jeezy on a Saturday
Couple shots of henny, lace my Yeezy's then I activate
Light it up and smoke it, walk to work and make some creme brulee
Everybody eating when I serve it through my tidal wave
Everybody eating dog that's all the homie gotta say
Thinkin' bout my future split the fork between an education
Everybody tryna keep me on the path to graduate
Dropping outta college cause my future's over that a way
Shit don't really matter when you're tryna get to paradise
Tryna take my chances like I'm rollin' with a pair of dice
Anything can happen, 9/11 with the Fahrenheit
Still gon' chase the top cause I ain't never been afraid of heights
Livin' everyday like I been ready for the after life
Hungry for the money cause I always got an appetite
Blessed tonight, cause I'm going harder
If I'm still alive tomorrow another day another dawn
I hope you have a Good Morning
Light it up, smoke it, walk to the work, go get that money
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I hope you have a Good Morning)
Light it up, smoke it, walk to the work, go get that money, yeah
Light it up, smoke it, walk to the work, go get that money, yeah
Light it up, smoke it, walk to the work, go get that money, yeah
Light it up, smoke it, walk to the work, go get that money, yeah
Light it up, smoke it, walk to the work, go get that money, yeah

Took a peak at the past at me in awe 'cus to where I was to where I am at

Shit don't really matter when you're tryna get to paradise

Tryna take my chances like I'm rollin' with a pair of dice
Taking risks and seeking opportunities despite the uncertainty of the outcome
Anything can happen, 9/11 with the Fahrenheit
Citing an example of unpredictable events and their potential impact
Still gon' chase the top cause I ain't never been afraid of heights
Continuing to strive for success despite the risk of failure or obstacles
Livin' everyday like I been ready for the after life
Living with intention and purpose, as if every day could be the last
Hungry for the money cause I always got an appetite
Motivated to work hard and earn money, driven by ambition and desire
Blessed tonight, cause I'm going harder
Feeling grateful and fortunate for opportunities to work towards goals
If I'm still alive tomorrow another day another dawn
Taking each day as it comes, acknowledging the potential for unpredictability and insecurity
I hope you have a Good Morning
Wishing the listener a positive and productive start to their day
