John Porché - Coffee

Wake up ina morning smella coffee
Loving yo brown life when it's costly
Fighting the flame
Going against the grain
Endure that pain
Sun shines thru that rain

Damn the block is cold
Use to heat the house with the stove
Momma hit the sto for the groceries with her food stamps
6 kids ina shotgun house like boot camp
Payless shoes i had the zippers on'em
Payless attention to the kicks on'em
And honestly i wouldn't change shit homie
I knew my momma love me from the bottom of her heart
We band together ona dark
Beautiful wife and a sister i give it all up for
Give it all up for my auntie to take her pain away
Give it all up for my momma to see another day
Turn back the hands of time so my granny she can play
What if my pops never tried them drugs
What if my brothers never caught that charges
Tripled at the same time while I'm tryna be a artist
The universe chose this path being so lawless

Wake up ina morning smella coffee
Loving yo brown life when it's costly
Fighting the flame
Going against the grain
Endure that pain
Sun shines thru that rain

It's not hard to believe how they do the black man
My cousin nominated and debated by the judge for three hots and a cot on cell block
Nobody was perfect
Rose ina dark room under the surface
Ppl act ugly just peep behind the curtains
Don't need a gavel I'll never judge a book if it's wrote by a crook
Give it a second look when you lookin at the heart
I can't look at the start
Life's a park depending how you build it
You king author depending how ya wield it
Either you killing
Or either you heal it
One way another exposing your true intentions
Keep it true beautiful ina soul remain on ya soles rock steady when it's slow
Have you ever seen a spirit out the water that glows

Wake up ina morning smella coffee
Loving yo brown life when it's costly
Fighting the flame
Going against the grain
Endure that pain
Sun shines thru that rain

I give thanks to my mother how she raised me
I give thanks to my father how he shaped me
I give thanks to my granny cuz she saved me
Many of times i gave in
My mental caved in
I wasn't scared then
Knocking on the doors of the other side
Come back alive from the grave i rise
Higher than the sky yea cuz sometimes i space
Dammit what it take
To get my family out the way
