Good Morning
Re-Up Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like watching my whole life
Flash in front of me knowing I am one of the
Best whoever done it, as a writer shuns it
Them niggas young MC, while I Big Pun it
Trying to revisit that impact
When Big done it
Or when Pac did it, even when Nas won it
I Daddy Kane over the tracks
Them niggas King Sun it
I'm from the era when BET had team summit
Now the watch is like a hell
Date to turn my stomach
This high level of artistry's a part of me
I'm bored by so called peers
Y'all have to pardon me
Graffiti beat street
Write my life for all to see
You take a bite and leave the
Rest I remind you of Lee do your history
If you can't reminisce with me
You connect the parallels and recognize
What gift it be it's not a mystery
No more second guessing him
At this point you ain't got to
Question who I'm better than

Food on the table, when it's not
I move that lean
Keep them fiends up and down the block
It's my routine, seventeen
Though the block is hot
I'm coming cool with my tool
Knocking of my rocks long story short
I done made it through some shit
That has got lots of niggas laid in view
What I say to dudes, wake up from that snooze
Before that nigga dead on the
News in the View
I done slept in cribs with grenades
Crazy weapons
Pushed cars with more drugs than
Rite Aid and EPIC
Across state lines, without my squad
Just to get paid, laid it all on the line
Now I thank God, there ain't nothing else
That kept a nigga free or
Turn him back into dust
You know how many niggas I done buried
Niggas ask for cheddar too
Wishing they were free on the bricks
To make a better move
Pull some four hundred months
Some got forever
Trade everything you treasure for
Some nice weather
Or some good pussy, a kiss from a whore
A trip to the store wake up young boy

Good morning good morning
Good morning good morning

It's complicated this life I live the cars
The whores are beautiful but I
All need is focus cut the ladder up
The ladder to success that I climb
I steer steps to the top, I'm complex
I'm a hustler with a turbulent mind
Modern day thinking
Statues to interpret the lines
The well thought out, when I was caught out
There when I was tortured
Seems to morph with my inner thoughts
It's torture I bear
Like a mob, when I was robbed of my youth
The dope game pulled a nigga feet first
In the flames with cocaine
What a wonderful bitch I made
Man that nigga can't front
I love them acolaydes
The dope money from the out lookin in
They see a thug nigga thing
So unconsciously I'm draped in
Drug dealer bling
Drug dealer street can't get his crown now
We got it 4 cheap volume 3, nigga bow down

Only does it seem that the grass is greener
Never would have dreamed cash come between us
So hysterically I laughed
I thought it was understood I
Give you my last
I thought it was to the good
Baby boy could rap
We long since left the hood
The rest should be a snap or so I thought
Instead it was a slap to the face
To this day, what am I to make of that
If I could the old days I'd wish them back
When the OJ's played and the
Crib was still intact
Forever mine, quickly turned to never mine
I pondered to myself, if I had never signed
And in my mind, I was only trying for better
The Big Wheel era should have lasted forever
Who knew we lacked glue to stick together
I find it so hard to keep my head up





Good morning good morning
Good morning good morning

I'm from the era when BET had team summit Now the watch is like a hell Date to turn my stomach
I grew up in a time when rap was at its peak, with BET's Team Summit being a centerpiece of the genre. Nowadays, the world of rap leaves me feeling nauseous when I see the amount of materialistic wealth that's flaunted.

I have a high level of artistry within me, which means I'm not impressed by my supposed peers in the rap industry. I hope you'll forgive me for being jaded about their work compared to mine.

Food on the table, when it's not I move that lean Keep them fiends up and down the block It's my routine, seventeen Though the block is hot I'm coming cool with my tool Knocking of my rocks long story short I done made it through some shit That has got lots of niggas laid in view
I make sure to provide for myself, even when times are tough. I sell drugs to keep the drug addicts coming, and it's become part of my daily routine when I'm only 17. Even though the block is hot, I keep my cool and continue to sell to knock off my rocks. In summary, I've made my way through challenging circumstances that have led others to an early grave.


What I say to dudes, wake up from that snooze Before that nigga dead on the News in the View

I risked it all by crossing state lines alone, just to earn some money. I took a huge risk and am thankful that nothing came of it that could have killed me or landed me behind bars.

Pull some four hundred months Some got forever Trade everything you treasure for Some nice weather
Some of us have trades that are as long as 400 months (33 years), while some have an eternity. We would give up everything we treasure just to experience nice weather.


Or some good pussy, a kiss from a whore A trip to the store wake up young boy Good morning good morning
We would all trade it in for some good sex, whether it's from a prostitute or real woman. Even a trip to the store can be fascinating. Wake up young boy, good morning!


It's complicated this life I live the cars The whores are beautiful but I All need is focus cut the ladder up The ladder to success that I climb I steer steps to the top, I'm complex I'm a hustler with a turbulent mind
My life is complicated, which makes it tough to stay focused on what's important. While the cars and women are beautiful, all I need is to cut off any distractions that may hinder my climb to success. It's a challenging path to navigate as a complex hustler with a turbulent mind.


Modern day thinking Statues to interpret the lines The well thought out when I was caught out There when I was tortured
My thinking is modern, and my statues symbolize the lines that should be interpreted by my critics. Even when I was caught out, I had a well thought out response, and I wasn't afraid to face torture.


Seems to morph with my inner thoughts It's torture, I bear Like a mob, when I was robbed of my youth The dope game pulled a nigga feet first In the flames with cocaine What a wonderful bitch I made Man that nigga can't front I love them acolaydes
My inner thoughts seem to morph with the situation, which is a form of torture that I have to bear. Like a mob, I was robbed of my youth. The dope game lured me in, and I fell into it feet first, ending up in flames with cocaine, leading me to create a beautiful mess. Nobody can deny my talent, and I love the accolades that come with it.


The dope money from the out lookin in They see a thug nigga thing So unconsciously I'm draped in Drug dealer bling Drug dealer street can't get his crown now We got it 4 cheap volume 3, nigga bow down
Those who look from the outside remember me for the money I made from drugs. So when looking at me, subconsciously, they think of a thug. That's why I'm indelibly tied to drug dealer bling even though I don't sell drugs anymore. It's okay to say that I no longer have to be on the drug dealer street to achieve success, and I maintain that success. Don't question it.


Only does it seem that the grass is greener Never would have dreamed cash come between us So hysterically I laughed I thought it was understood I Give you my last I thought it was to the good Baby boy could rap We long since left the hood The rest should be a snap or so I thought
It seems like other people are always better off, and everything is easier for them. I never thought that money would come between us, and I gave you everything I had without a second thought. I thought life was wonderful and felt proud of baby boy who had a promising rap career. We left the hood a long time ago, and I thought the rest would be a cakewalk, but turns out it's much more complicated than I thought.


Instead it was a slap to the face To this day, what am I to make of that If I could the old days I'd wish them back When the OJ's played and the Crib was still intact Forever mine, quickly turned to never mine I pondered to myself, if I had never signed
Instead, what happened felt like a slap to the face. Even now, I'm unsure what to make of it. If I could, I'd go back to the old days when life was simpler and my home wasn't broken. I felt like everything was mine forever but then was quickly reminded that it was never mine. I reflected on whether things would have been different if I'd never signed a music contract.


And in my mind, I was only trying for better The Big Wheel era should have lasted forever Who knew we lacked glue to stick together I find it so hard to keep my head up
In my mind, I was always striving for something better. I had hoped that the era of the big wheel would have lasted forever, but only too late did I realize we lacked the glue that would have held us together. As a result, it's hard for me to keep my head up.

[Sandman:] Food on the table, when it's not -- I move that lean, Keep them fiends up and down that block -- it's my routine. Seventeen, though the block is hot -- I'm coming cool, With my tool, knocking off my rocks. Long story short, I done made it through, some shit, That done got lots of niggas latent views.

Xbizkitl

[Malice, cont'd:] If I could, the old days, I'd wish 'em back, When the O'Jays played, and the crib was still intact. Forever mine; quickly turned to NEVER mine; I pondered to myself, if I had never signed. And in my mind I was only trying for better... The Big Wheel Era shoulda last forever. Who knew we'd lack glue to stick together? I find it so hard to keep my head up. Good Mornin'!
