Everyday I Do This

[Verse 1] Sun up, cold water. Face that fear, then I start. Beds made, teeth white. Back straight, mind sharp. Stretch slow, count five. Knees bend, let it burn. Phone face-down, no noise. I earn what I earn. Eggs on the pan, two. Fruit in the bowl, clean. Walk that block fast. Keep my thoughts mean. Check my chest, breathe deep. Keep the dark in line. No slack, no slip. I move on time. [Pre-Chorus] Step by step, I stay locked. Heart beat, keep it boxed. Mind clean, body strong. Say my name, then I lock. [Chorus] Everyday I do this Everyday I do this Mind right, body right Everyday I do this Everyday I do this Everyday I do this (doo-wop) No drift, no rust Everyday I do this [Verse 2] No sugar in my cup. No poison in my plate. I cut that noise out. I don't negotiate. Sun on my skin. Rain on my walk. I let my lungs fill up. I let my legs talk. Journal open, one page. Write the rage down neat. Ten push-ups, ten breaths. Then I get back on feet. Call my mother back. Say the truth, no gloss. A clean mind, a hard day. That's how I get across. [Pre-Chorus] Step by step, I stay locked. Heart beat, keep it boxed. Mind clean, body strong. Say my name, then I lock. [Chorus] Everyday I do this Everyday I do this Mind right, body right Everyday I do this Everyday I do this Everyday I do this (doo-wop) No drift, no rust Everyday I do this [Bridge] Hoo-oo, I rise up Hoo-oo, I face it If the night gets teeth I still pace it Open palms, closed fist I choose my way One more breath, one more mile Every day [Final Chorus] Everyday I do this Everyday I do this Mind right, body right Everyday I do this Everyday I do this Everyday I do this (doo-wop) No drift, no rust Everyday I do this
