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
