WWRED. - T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E. (Original) Lyrics

The first time I woke up was on a Friday morning
I wasn't crying but my momma was, cuz she adores me
She and my dad went through a lot just to get to hold me
I know they want the best for me, that's why Im always soaring
That's why I'm never slow and
That's why I'm always growing
That's why I'm always doing me, cuz I'm already knowing
My life Is up to me to live, nothing is set in stone and
All Thanks to you and Jah, I'm Free
Reaping what I've been Sewing!
You said I am your son like Yeshua was to Mary
You saw me as everything that's why nothing ever scares me
I Took it to the head, that's why I was real daring
Then I fell into a coma, I know that was real Scary
The doctor said I wasn't gonna make it... how dare he
Undermine how strong both of Y'all's simple prayers be?
When I woke, I bet his face was whiter than his brand new sperry's
I was just sit'n'sleeping , shoutout to my nigga Larry

But on some real shit
I got a lot out of it
I saw my whole life in a glimpse
And everything that I had did
I looked at Death right in the face
Through its eyes, I was shown the right way
Realized that Life means more each day
Thats why I stand tall and say

T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E baby!
My life's been real brazy
So far I have learned love breaks the chains of mental slavery
T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E made me
See past all the hatred
You get back what you put out so start loving on the daily
T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E made me
Appreciate who made me
I'm grateful for the love You, Jah, and Papa always gave me
T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E baby!
Love is what has made me
The Champion I am, that's why I am always prevailing

The second time I woke up, I knew that all was well
What would come about my life, only I could tell
I answered God's call, and we aint use no cell
God told me "you got what you need, you'll never fail!
You know you got a dream, you know you got a voice
You know you wanna make a change, so now you Got a choice
See You can either scream, or you can make no noise
Either way I know you know what truly brings you joy
So go and get it 'mane'
This life is yours to make
Keep on doing you and keep on smiling everyday
Believe yourself always
Nothing can stop you 'mane'
I'm always with you don't ever forget you one with Me
So keep on shining
Bright like a diamond
You never cracking
You always thriving
Always stay iron just like a lion from Zion
Straight outta Zion
This is your time man", damn

And thats when it clicked
So I just went out and did
Everything that I wanted
All I am, I manifested
I know I am in the right place
All because of where my mind now lays
Realized that Life means more each day
That's why I stand tall and say

T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E baby!
My life's been real brazy
Ive been directing my life like I'm Martin Scorsese
T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E made me
See past all the hatred
You get back what you put out so start loving on the daily
T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E made me
Appreciate who made me
I'm grateful for the love You, Jah, and Papa always gave me
T.H.U.G.L.I.F.E baby!
Love is what has made me
The Champion I am, that's why I am always prevailing
