Now, when a little girl becomin' twelve years old
Beginin' to think she grown
Well, you can never catch that kinda
Little girl at home
But you have to go there early in the mornin'
Baby, 'bout the break of day
Now, you oughta see me grab the pillow
Where my baby used to lay
Now, that I've got a little woman
Her name is, Miss Kate
She told me to come to the house this mo'nin'
I got there about half past eight
She ask, 'I told you, come early in the mo'nin'
Baby, 'bout the break of day'
Now, ya oughta see me grab the pillow
Where my baby used to lay
I said, 'Look-a-here, woman
You fool with too many men
I can't never come to see you in the evenin
I have to come 'n see you when I can'
You tell me, 'Come early in the mo'nin'
Baby, 'bout the break of day'
Now, you oughta see me grab the pillow
Where my baby used to lay
(harmonica & guitar)
Well now, I said, 'Look-a-here, woman (good!)
I ain't gonna fool 'round wit' you, no mo'
I know you don't love me
You out, 'round with Mr. So 'n So
You tell me, 'Come early in the mo'nin'
Baby, 'bout the break of day'
Now, ya oughta see me grab the pillow
Where my baby used to lay.

The lyrics of Big Sean's "In The Morning" is a completely different song with the same title as the one mentioned above, but they both share the theme of relationships. The song begins with the first verse from Big Sean, who talks about a girl he had a one-night stand with, and how she's behaving after they hooked up. He says that "she falls asleep around midnight" and "turns into a vampire," which means that she parties all night and doesn't want to spend time with him. The chorus, which is sung by Ty$, is about how he wants her to stay and not leave in the morning after they have sex, while YG's verse is about his girl getting angry at him for cheating.
The second verse from Big K.R.I.T. tells the story of a girl who has a boyfriend, but she still wants to hook up with him. She's guilty about it but still wants to do it, which makes Big K.R.I.T. confused. The song ends with Ty$ singing the chorus again, begging for his girl to stay.
Overall, the lyrics of the song talk about the different emotions and situations that people go through in a relationship or a hookup, and how they deal with it. It also portrays the difficulties of staying in a committed relationship, as opposed to just hooking up with somebody.

Now, when a little girl becomin' twelve years old
When a young girl reaches the age of twelve
Beginin' to think she grown
She starts to think she's more mature than she is
Well, you can never catch that kinda
Girls like that are hard to keep track of
Little girl at home
Girls that age often leave home often to assert their independence
But you have to go there early in the mornin'
To find her at home, you have to catch her in the morning
Baby, 'bout the break of day
Around dawn
Now, you oughta see me grab the pillow
When I arrive home and my girl isn't there, I hold onto her pillow
Where my baby used to lay
As a way to feel close to her
Now, that I've got a little woman
Now that I have a woman in my life
Her name is, Miss Kate
Her name is Kate
She told me to come to the house this mo'nin'
She asked me to come over in the morning
I got there about half past eight
I arrived around 8:30am
She ask, 'I told you, come early in the mo'nin'
She reminded me that she asked me to come early in the morning
Now, ya oughta see me grab the pillow
When I got home and she wasn't there, I held onto her pillow
Where my baby used to lay
As a way to feel close to her
I said, 'Look-a-here, woman
I told her
You fool with too many men
That she is seeing too many other men
I can't never come to see you in the evenin
I can't come see her at night
I have to come 'n see you when I can'
I can only come see her when my schedule allows it
You tell me, 'Come early in the mo'nin'
She requests that I come early in the morning
Now, you oughta see me grab the pillow
When I arrived home and she wasn't there, I held onto her pillow
Where my baby used to lay
As a way to feel close to her
Well now, I said, 'Look-a-here, woman
I said to her
I ain't gonna fool 'round wit' you, no mo'
I won't play her games anymore
I know you don't love me
I know she doesn't truly care for me
You out, 'round with Mr. So 'n So
She is seeing another man
Now, ya oughta see me grab the pillow
When I arrived home and she wasn't there, I held onto her pillow
Where my baby used to lay.
As a way to feel close to her
