DEFENDER'S RAP

• Up in the morning, feel the sunlight
• The feeling where your day is suppose to go right
• When you throw away your demons and forget last night
• The day’s contrast is suppose to be black and white
• And not black and white, like a cassette tape
• I’m talkin black and white like last night's first date
• With this girl I had been dreaming of since 95’
• Who I thought could bring out my heart and revive
• But the problem is, we were just in and out
• And I find, she was just wanting in and out
• And as soon as I fell into her trap I pulled out
• Ended up just grabbing some in and out
• But forget that, it’s my first day out—kodack
• And according to Sean I’m suppose to bounce back
• And according to my friends I’m suppose to relax
• You actually saw this goin somewhere? Ha! Boy you wack!
• Mornin vibes, Morning vibes, please clear my mind
• I got a meeting at 9, I gotta make it on time
• I gotta get back to the paper now and get back to my life
• I gotta get out of my head that is so damn confined
• I’m in a spaceship, race it, to the moon
• It doesn’t matter, I’d be thinking of you
• It’s amazing, what a lie and your touch can do
• Did you even think of what it would put me through?
• Morning vibes, Morning vibes, please clear my mind
• I know I haven’t been acting right
• I know that fear will fade in time
• And maybe one day I will find one who’s mine
• And in another life, I would be a man with a drive
• But now it feels like I’m just working for my 9 to 5
• I got no passion, got no people, not a penny on my side
• At least I’m alive, but can I call it a life
• When people I don’t know are the ones that control me
• Shoulda worked harder so a college would enroll me
• Now a gourmet dinner is potatoes and some roasted beef
• I guess her whole behavior is just more proof I’m a failure!
• But hey—It’s a beautiful day
• Let’s take a walk, Masta Ace why don’t you take it away?
• Let’s walk down the deepest part of the hood
• And see if the sun still shines against broken glass concrete and wood
• Now it seems I’m only happy when I’m faded
• I can close my eyes and pretend that I have made it
• Morning comes and I’m still in the slums
• It is a new day, but nothing changes for the dumbs
• My hands are clutching the back of my head now
• So much bad, can’t even get a girl out
• I think it’s time to make these wrong turn right
• To do that, I gotta get up and fight, uh
• Morning vibes, morning vibes, morning vibes
• Please make my wrongs turn right
• Morning vibes, morning vibes, morning vibes
• It’s a new day, I’ll be just fine
