Verse 1: Cas Metah
We came in with gauntlets, made them into omelets
stained in my optics are the pains of progress.
I know it take losses to make profits
but when nations facing conquered they playing Contra.
If you play with contraband pray you ain't a pauper
population top guns got Wall Street stocked up.
Hovering like helicopters so they can watch us
long enough to come up with a plot to stop us.
Don't even get me started on these cops and all the drama
Oscar Grant to Eric Garner
Partner that pistols not a permanent marker
got my hands up but I can't breathe in this smog, ugh.
Frustrated for the folks falling victim
to a fallen system, this friction is flinching.
Tension is wrenching the heart of my mission
hearts and minds missing, good morning mourning.
Hook: Elias
Good morning mourning (good morning mourning)
My eyes are crying
Oh Lord, no, the horror
got to cry for your sons and daughters
I reach my hand in the muddy waters
Good morning mourning, yeah
Verse 2: MotionPlus
I dream big, wipe the cold out my eye
colder than this world that we live in, why?
Time slips by, why live with regrets?
I still fear death but deaths not denied by
no man, just a cross and a promise
but no man on this earth lives honest
Honestly I cry weekly for my grandmother
she been gone since '89, that's a long number
But the love I remembers unconditional
and more than one time I thought to let the pistol pull
Self inflict, get me there where the love is hidden
and suicidal tendencies are the ones forbidden
It's a bidding war, labels own my soul, no
it's a hidden war, stable and control, no
My emotions are at def-con warning
arise with the Son singing good morning mourning
Hook: Elias
Good morning mourning (good morning mourning)
My eyes are crying
Oh Lord, no, the horror
got to cry for your sons and daughters
I reach my hand in the muddy waters
Good morning mourning, yeah
Verse 3: JustMe
Morning mourning. I started yawning
and then performing my Daily Operation
The life of a grown-up. I think I'll have a Donut
and consider that my little escape from
responsibility. The cost of villainy.
Capital Punishment is what we all face son.
A mixture of scripture, but it's hard to see The Big Picture
through the Ill Communication
Written and broadcasted, posted bombastic
on every channel, station and website
But I still got an Urge For Conscious Words,
so Eazy-Duz-It I'll be searching the night
For a Life After Death. Take my massive breath.
All Eyez On Me when I'm grabbing a mic
Open every single lock trying to be the King Of Rock
end of the day that's a Rapper's Delight
Bridge: Elias
Mother Nature cries because of us
Father Creator cries for all of us
We don't own the truth at all
we just seek a higher call
Want a higher love
but we're living in the fall
Hook: Elias
Good morning mourning (good morning mourning)
My eyes are crying
Oh Lord, no, the horror
got to cry for your sons and daughters
I reach my hand in the muddy waters
Good morning mourning, yeah
