Lyrics Before the Dawn - Ronin Gray

Its strong and steady
It feels right
Its not your dream
But you chose life
Is it right
Or is it wrong
The days always darkest right before the dawn
Its strong and steady
It feels right
Its not your dream
But you chose life
Is it right
Or is it wrong
The days always darkest right before the dawn

In my childhood
You know I cut off all my fingers
Put my hand in the blender
Fuck was I thinkin
No one ever watched me
No one over seein
I fend for myself I had to figure it out
Even the boys runnin a muck
There parents showed them love
By the belt
Discipline
A smack across the side
By 14 caught a case
YAs where I reside
Parents where replaced by the state
Foster care and group homes
That became my fate

Deeper
Deeper every day
Just
Figuring it out
Anyway
Gets
Deeper
Every day
Just tryin to figure it out
Any way
Gets
Deeper
Every day
Just tryin to figure it out any way
Gets deeper deeper every day
Just tryin to figure it out
Any way

Its strong and steady
It feels right
Its not your dream
But you chose life
Is it right
Or is it wrong
The days always darkest right before the dawn
Its strong and steady
It feels right
Its not your dream
But you chose life
Is it right
Or is it wrong
The days always darkest right before the dawn

2006 I was doin my thang
Movin pounds of weed
And keys of cocain
But y brain was jacked up
I was caught up with the click
I thought I was the shit jus
Flipping different chicks
But it
Really aint nothin
When a young boy is confused
Cause a fool and his riches
Will soon divide in two
I call these big facts
Lookin in the mirror
And lie
Better motivate yourself
You plan to survive

Get it
Together
Kid
Cant
Run these streets like you once did
Get it
Together
Lil kid
Cause you can′t run these streets like you once did
Get it
Together
Lil kid
Cant
Run these streets like you once did
Get it together
Lil kid
Cant
Run these streets like you once did

Its strong and steady
It feels right
Its not your dream
But you chose life
Is it right
Or is it wrong
The days always darkest right before the dawn
Its strong and steady
It feels right
Its not your dream
But you chose life
Is it right
Or is it wrong
The days always darkest right before the dawn

Cant blame my Mother and my Father for shit
Everything thing I did
I chose to get in the mix
Dreams of a man
Like sand
Runnin through my hands
Chasin all this money man
Hell was I thinkin
I was out on the streets
Just making my moves
Out in the filed with nothing to loose but
Dont be fooled we all hope to succeed
A brighter day in the hood where we eat good

Gotta
Gotta
Grow up
One
One day
Cant be out here
Like a boy and jus play play
Gotta
Gotta
Grow up one day
Cant be a kid and just play every day
Gotta
Grow up
One
One day
Cant be a kid and play every day
Gotta
Gotta grow up one day
Cant be a kid every day

Yeah
Jus a lil something different ya know
Talk about life
Shout to Black Metaphor
Los Angeles to Atlanta
Yeah
Play
Play play pl play every day every day
Play play everyday
