5 O'clock Lyrics - Singles - Nonchalant

It's really real, when I feel the way that I do right now 

I see all my brothers underground 

Pushing up daisies, man, it amazes me 

That you can't see where you gonna be 

A statistic, everybody's gon' call ballistic 

If you had a good day, damn, I must have missed it 

Cause you mad at the Universe 

Going to hell with everybody else cause you want your own first 

I got the urge to let you in on a little secret 

Cause you keep dying if I keep it 

All the keeling that you're feeling is from within 

For the copper check the color of your skin 

Why lie? I couldn't try even if I had to 

Born with the bullet-proof vest when I had you 

A black woman trying to get through to the few 

So you can leave the next crew 

5 o'clock in the morning. Where you gonna be? 

(Outside on the corner) 

You better get yourself together 

While you're wasting all your time 

Right along with your mind 

5 o'clock in the morning. Where you gonna be? 

(Outside on the corner) 

You better get yourself together 

While you're wasting all your time 

Right along with your mind 

Why should I do right and suffer 

I rather do wrong making that loopy and that hustler 

Instead of hot-dogs I'm eating porks up in their smother 

And got a gang of loot up in the safe up in my covers 

On top of all that I push big fat Lex 

And got my hoes that in golf course just in case I feel like flexing 

So I must ask, for real though, who are you 

See, I'm a big man 

Yeah, you know you'se a big man, check it 

I went for twelve years to school and never could read 

A knowledge of my hood is something they can never teach me 

I never started to step but I kept up with the Joneses 

Having rollers... my little pinky ring 

I did a lot of kinky thing the girls knew it, flock into it 

I'm around my old way, yeah, they still wants to do it 

Its not about the clothes that you got on your back 

But the money in your pocket and if you're down like that 

Come on 

5 o'clock in the morning. Where you gonna be? 

(Outside on the corner) 

You better get yourself together 

While you're wasting all your time 

Right along with your mind 

5 o'clock in the morning. Where you gonna be? 

(Outside on the corner) 

You better get yourself together 

While you're wasting all your time 

Right along with your mind 

Wella, Mr. Black Man tell me where you're heading 

The last few years I watched while you were sheading 

Pounds and pounds on growth for the population 

Soon we won't be able to have a strong black nation 

A shooting here, a stabbing there nowhere to stop 

Cause now you're dying from the dose of the crack rock 

I'm just a Nubian Queen that needs a king to stand strong 

And try to press on 

It's not a white man's finger on the trigger 

Car-jacks, drive-by's, callin' each other "nigga" 

I'm not here to scold but rather shape n' mold 

That young black mind that won't live to grow old 

Cause you're fronting smoking on the blunt and 

Down with your friends cause you think you're making ends 

But you're not - and that's the truth of the matter 

Your brother gettin' skinny, cause you want your pockets fatter 

5 o'clock in the morning. Where you gonna be? 

(Outside on the corner) 

You better get yourself together 

While you're wasting all your time 

Right along with your mind 

5 o'clock in the morning. Where you gonna be? 

(Outside on the corner) 

You better get yourself together 

While you're wasting all your time 

Right along with your mind
