Morning Light
J-Soul pres. Andy Jaar feat. Leusin Lyrics

Father, forgive me for I have sinned
Apologizing to God for past wrong doings

You know, we all fall short in the glory of God ya know
Acknowledging that everyone is prone to making mistakes and sinning

But uh, true life is just so hard you know
Life is challenging and difficult

Especially when you tryin to find a way out
Finding a way out of difficult situations is not easy

All I need is a sign
Seeking guidance and direction

Lord, just give me a sign
Asking God for a clear indication of the right path to take

Can you just, just show me a sign Lord
Desperately asking God for help and guidance

Dig it I dug it, some hate it some love it
Some people like the music and others do not

Politic in the game, I'm just a puppet for the public
Feeling used and manipulated by the music industry

If I, spit it you can quote it
If he says something notable, people will remember it

If you, read it then I wrote it
When people read his lyrics, they know that he wrote them

Knew it's dirty in this bitch y'all let me in it so I sold it
Knowing that the music industry is corrupt and taking advantage of it to make a profit

Niggas pussy (Why?)
Insulting other men and questioning their toughness

Cuz they givin' they clothes up
Saying that other men are weak for giving up their possessions easily

Sayin that they pimpin' but really givin' they hoes up
Calling out men who claim to be pimps but are actually giving up control of their women

Am I sick, exactly, from takin care of the family
Feeling illness or discomfort from the stress of providing for his family

Carry a scar on my nose, that came from my granny
Having a physical reminder of his past and his family history

A major player in this game, knew it since day one
Knowing that he's been destined for music success since the beginning

Lookin for shit to be the same, nigga keep waitin'
Wanting things to remain constant, but understanding that change is inevitable

I done done, all I can do for the streets
Feeling like he's done all he can to help his community

Humble now I'm waitin' to see what the streets do for me
Being patient and waiting to see what rewards and opportunities come his way

Got a child, so I'm like payin' support
Supporting his child financially

Still a child, now who the hell payin' support
Feeling like he's still young and struggling to support himself, let alone a child

I can slang and bang on St. Louis streets
Being able to survive and make a living selling drugs and participating in gang activity in St. Louis

Better yet keep it grimey till I'm 6 feet deep, come on
Continuing to live a rough and dangerous lifestyle until death

We love gettin' high to the morning light
Enjoying and indulging in drug use until the sun comes up

Till the morning light
Continuing drug use until daylight

Forgive me father I have sinned on this one
Asking for forgiveness for any wrong doing, particularly drug use

Hail Mary ten times but this ain't the last one
Repenting and seeking forgiveness through religious prayer

Feelin strange, cuz deaths upon me
Sensing that death is near or imminent

Damn I should of knew man was not gone warn me
Regretting not seeing signs of danger or warning before it's too late

Still rappin', while watchin my papers stackin'
Continuing to pursue a career in music while also seeing financial success

Tryin to leave coke alone but the streets callin' me back in
Attempting to give up drug involvement, but feeling pulled back into it by the surrounding environment

And I ain't actin, watchin homie subtracting
Watching friends and loved ones die or become incarcerated because of their involvement in gang and drug activity

Check the murder rate I ain't lyin' that's a fact and
Pointing out the reality and severity of violence and death in his city

I'm from a city where they want they corners back
Living in a city where there is constant conflict over territory and control

Body bag, toe tag if you don't know how to act
Suggesting that those who do not know how to navigate and survive in this environment are likely to face violent consequences

Picture that, niggas straight scrambling for crack
Painting a picture of the desperation and poverty that leads people to sell and use drugs

Baby mamas keep up drama but I love where I'm at
Facing drama and tension in his personal relationships, but still appreciating his life circumstances

If you ain't never been to the Lou this here lyrical too
Encouraging listeners to visit his city (St. Louis) to understand and appreciate his music and lifestyle

And if you thinkin bout comin then you best be true come on
Challenging potential visitors to be authentic and respectful if they choose to visit his city

We nobody until somebody kills you
Feeling like his life and success are not significant until his death
