Up in the Morning
U.S. Army Airborne Lyrics

Well if you know what it's like a cold cell drunk frozen at night

Like me, you're probably trying to gain control of your life.

But sometime it takes over that's when I grab a gun and just think
Sometimes it feels like life is out of your control, and in those moments, I turn to my gun and think about my next move.

Yo' fuck life man I'm under the brink
At times, life can feel too overwhelming to handle, and it seems like there's no way out.

And this is real I want rendezvous spots and prize money
These are real desires - I want places to meet and compete, and I want to win money.

Not lethal injection which manifest the equal intentions
I don't want to end up getting a lethal injection, as it signifies that my intentions were as bad as others who have faced the same fate.
