Sunrise Over San Quentin (feat. Tre Reddi & David Jassy)

When the sun rise over San Quentin

I drop down to my knees and pray

Blessed to see another day

When the sun, when the sun

When the sun rise over San Quentin

I drop down to my knees and pray

Blessed to see another day

When the sun, when the sun rise, yeah

I wake up and say a prayer

I thank God for my existence

He ain't had to let us wake up

We was livin' reckless

Didn't care where life would take us

We was heading for destruction

I'm thankful that God saved us

I remember times I told God I'll turn my life around

But I lied every time, it's like I couldn't put that rifle down

Sitting in this cell and I'm praying for change as I'm lying down

God, if You change me, I'ma change, and I ain't lying now

Shoulda went to school and paid attention, now I'm sitting in prison

Lately I been reminiscing, wishing we was still children

Never would of thought I'd lose Taylor at a early age

And never would've thought I'd lose Nanny til a early grave

I guess life is unpredictable, but death is all a part of life

I guess it's not resistible

I'm talking to these angels, hoping they let my sister know

She got two handsome nephews, and them the ones who I'm living for

When the sun rise over San Quentin

I drop down to my knees and pray

Blessed to see another day

When the sun, when the sun

When the sun rise over San Quentin

I drop down to my knees and pray

Blessed to see another day

When the sun, when the sun rise

I never sold drugs, we cut grams just to feed the fam

Shout out to my pops, he really taught me how to be a man

I didn't see it from the jump, but now I'm starting to see his plan

God just want me to be the man that he see I am

And I'm just tryna make it out before somebody take me out

I'm feeling like Boosie, I wish, I shoulda took the safer route

Right or wrong, wrong or right

It's up to you to weigh it out

If you gon' change, then change

You ain't got time to be waiting around

I couldn't do it by myself, so I asked God for help

I told him to shuffle the deck, 'cause I don't like what I was dealt

Leave the past in the past, I'm tryna better myself

I told my sons that I'll be back, but I ain't been back since I left

Damn, and now I'm feeling like a deadbeat

Look at where being a follower finally led me

I'm sitting in this cell waiting on the day till they let me free

I wanna give up, but God just ain't gon' let me be

When the sun rise over San Quentin

I drop down to my knees and pray

Blessed to see another day

When the sun, when the sun

When the sun rise over San Quentin

I drop down to my knees and pray

Blessed to see another day

When the sun, when the sun rise, yeah
