[Chorus]

I’m up before the sun

Clouds is on my mind you keep some in your lungs

Working over time until I get it done

I can’t relax man, I’m on the run

Tie up the laces I’m back in now

I’m up before the sun

Living in the real world just ain’t as fun

Working over time until I get it done

I can’t relax man, I’m on the run

Tie up the laces I’m back in


[Verse 1]

Tomorrow today

Nothings ever promised we just fall into place like it’s Tetris

With aim and direction from the most high

Conversations he been giving me the co-sign yeah

Trying to make it to your coastlinе

While waves in a low tide and it’s all straight

Usеd to play receiver good hands l was all state

I been counting off days like it helps

Navigating life adding trades to my belt

You live and you learn no question

Days now used to feel like seconds

I’m at loss for answers and options I’m trying get it popping

The bands went to college I went to class

But now I’m tapped in like a Ventra pass yeah

It’s young clip with the gift of gab

Trying to put triple digits on the dash and for that I’m


[Chorus]

I’m up before the sun

Clouds is on my mind you keep some in your lungs

Working over time until I get it done

I can’t relax man, I’m on the run

Tie up the laces I’m back in now

I’m up before the sun

Living in the real world just ain’t as fun

Working over time until I get it done

I can’t relax man, I’m on the run

Tie up the laces I’m back in


[Post-Chorus]

Eight degrees, call my line

Baby we can make believe

213, anything

You make it real I hope you never leave

Never leave, hey


[Verse 2]

Truancy got me on different paths

So much for itineraries we had

I’m sorry mama, I wasn’t invented to sit in class

I gotta go get the bag like a purse of yours

I’m first through doors, my fashion is timely

I’m known to stick to my guns, like we Siamese twins

Hard headed nigga with a Ivy League pen

And a knack for illustrating the facts

No more playing the back, need the front page

Became great in a flash like a young Wade, who would’ve thought?

Student to master your tutor get taught

New with the drip but I’m true with the sauce

She say she new to it all

I say I knew she a star from beginning

Some things in life are decided they written

But shit doesn’t come to you till you go get it

I get it so


[Chorus]

I’m up before the sun

Clouds is on my mind you keep some in your lungs

Working over time until I get it done

I can’t relax man, I’m on the run

Tie up the laces I’m back in now

I’m up before the sun

Living in the real world just ain’t as fun

Working over time until I get it done

I can’t relax man, I’m on the run

Tie up the laces I’m back in


[Post-Chorus]

Eight degrees, call my line

Baby we can make believe

213, anything

You make it real I hope you never leave

Never leave, hey


[Outro]

I wanna know

How long to hold on

Driving alone, I’m the road, aw
