Morning Light
J.Auer Lyrics

Father, forgive me for I have sinned
Asking for forgiveness from God for committing sins

You know, we all fall short in the glory of God ya know
Acknowledging that everyone makes mistakes and is flawed in front of God

But uh, true life is just so hard you know
Expressing how hard life can be

Espically when you tryin to find a way out
Life is especially difficult when one is trying to escape a difficult situation

All I need is a sign
Seeking a sign or guidance from God

Lord, just give me a sign
Asking God to provide a sign

Can you just, just show me a sign Lord
Repeatedly imploring God for a sign

Dig it I dug it, some hate it some love it
Acknowledging that his music has both fans and detractors

Politic in the game, I'm just a puppet for the public
Acknowledging that the music industry is political and he is just a product to be marketed to the public

If I, spit it you can quote it
Confident in his lyrical ability, knowing that his words will be quoted

If you, read it then I wrote it
Taking ownership of his lyrics and knowing that he wrote them

Knew it's dirty in this bitch y'all let me in it so I sold it
Knowing the music industry is dirty, but still participating in it because it was lucrative

Niggaz pussy (Why?)
Referring to other men as weak or cowardly

'cause they givin they clothes up
Men are weak because they are giving up their possessions to women

Sayin that they pimpin' but really givin they hoes up
Men are claiming to be pimps, but in reality, they are giving up their women to others

Am I sick, exactly, from takin care of the family
Acknowledging that he is sick from the stress of taking care of his family

Carry a scar on my nose, that came from my granny
Having a physical scar as a reminder of his family's struggles and sacrifices

A major player in this game, knew it since day one
Self-identifying as a successful player in the music industry from the beginning of his career

Lookin for shit to be the same, nigga keep waitin
Not expecting things to stay the same in the music industry and advising others to do the same

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

Humble now I'm waitin to see what the streets do for me
Waiting to see if the community will support him in return

Got a child, so I'm like payin support
Acknowledging that he has a child and is supporting their upbringing

Still a child, now who the hell payin support
Feeling like a child himself, even though he is a parent

I can slang and bang on St. Louis streets
Confident in his ability to make money and survive in the streets of St. Louis

Better yet keep it grimey till I'm 6 feet deep, come on
Planning to maintain his gritty, raw style until his death

We love gettin high to the morning light
Enjoying getting high until the morning

We gettin high till the morning light
Continuing to get high into the morning

Gettin high till the morning light
Repeatedly getting high until the morning

We gettin high like da da da
Getting high in an unspecified way

Da da da da da da
Using a nonsensical phrase to imply getting high

Forgive me father I have sinned on this one
Asking for forgiveness from God for the content of the song

Hail Mary ten times but this ain't the last one
Referencing the Catholic prayer Hail Mary, and acknowledging that he will continue to sin

Feelin strange, 'cause deaths upon me
Feeling uneasy or fearful because he is in danger of death

Damn I should of knew man was not gone warn me
Regretting not having known that someone was going to harm him

Still rappin, while watchin my papers stackin
Continuing to make music while also making money

Tryin to leave coke alone but the streets callin me back in
Attempting to quit selling cocaine, but feeling pulled back into it by the streets

And I ain't actin, watchin homie subtracting
Not pretending or exaggerating, and watching his associates lose their lives or freedom

Check the murder rate I ain't lyin that's a fact and
Pointing out the high rate of murders in his city as evidence of the danger he faces

I'm from a city where they want they corners back
Living in a city where people want to control certain street corners

Body bag, toe tag if you don't know how to act
Implied danger of death or violence for those who do not show respect or follow the rules of the streets

Picture that, niggaz straight scrambling for crack
Painting a vivid picture of people desperately trying to find or sell crack cocaine

Baby mamas keep up drama but I love where I'm at
Acknowledging drama and difficulties with the mothers of his children, but still enjoying his life

If you ain't never been to the Lou this here lyrical too
Encouraging people to visit his city to experience its unique culture

And if you thinkin bout comin then you best be true come on
Warning visitors to be authentic and respectful when visiting his city

We nobody until somebody kills you
Implying that one is insignificant until they are killed, or that death is when one becomes recognized

Gettin high till the morning light
Continuing to get high until the morning

(We gettin high till the morning light)
Repeating the previous line for emphasis
