Before the Sun Up
[Intro]
Yeah… yeah
Before the sun up, streets don’t sleep
I’m just tryna survive…
[Verse 1]
Dark before the dawn, I’m already out
Concrete jungle hummin’, hear the whispers and the shout
Eyes wide, heart heavy, mind in overdrive
Every step calculated just to stay alive
Corner stores open, sirens in the distance
Life taught me lessons, streets got persistence
Moves in the shadows, dodgin’ all the snakes
Every wrong step could be the one that breaks
[Chorus]
Before the sun up, I’m on my grind
Early mornings, survival state of mind
Hustlin’ in silence, avoiding the heat
Before the sun up, I don’t taste defeat
[Verse 2]
Coffee in my cup, but the fear in my chest
Another day, another hustle, never rest
Block’s still quiet, but the danger awake
Eyes on my back, every move I make
Streetlights flicker like they’re signaling war
Been here before, know exactly what’s in store
Breathin’ slow, but my mind on alert
Every corner got a story, every shadow got dirt
[Chorus]
Before the sun up, I’m on my grind
Early mornings, survival state of mind
Hustlin’ in silence, avoiding the heat
Before the sun up, I don’t taste defeat
[Bridge]
Sky still dark, but I’m seeing clear
Every block, every alley, every lurking fear
Patience in my veins, caution in my hands
Movin’ through the night like I own these lands
Before the sun up, the world feels mine
Every tick of the clock is a step in time
[Verse 3]
Neighbors still sleep, but I’m clockin’ wins
Dodgin’ the pitfalls, know where it begins
Street’s my teacher, survival my skill
Every early morning tests my will
Countin’ blessings in silence, prayin’ for the dawn
But I keep pushin’, keep movin’ till the fear is gone
Before the sun up, I’m already elite
King of the streets while the world’s asleep
[Chorus / Outro]
Before the sun up, I’m on my grind
Early mornings, survival state of mind
Hustlin’ in silence, avoiding the heat
Before the sun up, I don’t taste defeat
Yeah… before the sun up
