Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's really real
When I feel the way that I do right now
I see all my brothers underground
Pushin' up daisies, man, it amazes me
That you can't see where you gonna be
A statistic, everybody's gone cold ballistic
If you had a good day, damn I must have missed it
'Cause you're mad at the Universe
Goin' 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 dyin' if I keep it
All the killin' that you're feelin' is from within
Pull the cover, 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 tryin' to get through to a few
So you can lead the next crew
[Verse 2]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
Where you gonna be?
(Outside, on the corner)
Better get yourself together
(Get yourself together)
While you're wastin' all your time
Right along with your mind
[Verse 3]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
Where you gonna be?
(Outside, on the corner)
You better get yourself together
(Get yourself together)
While you're wastin' all your time
Right along with your mind
[Verse 4]
Why should I do right and suffer?
I'd rather do wrong makin' that loopy and that hustler
Instead of hot-dogs, I'm eatin' 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 a big fat Lex
And got my hoes in a golf cart just in case I feel like flexin'
So I must ask, for real, though, who are you?
See, I'm a big man
[Verse 5]
Yeah, you know you'se a big man, check it
I went through twelve years of school and I never could read
A knowledge of my hood is somethin' they can never teach me
I never start a step-up, I kept up with the Joneses
Havin' rollers bust up, 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
It's 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
[Verse 6]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
Where you gonna be?
(Outside, on the corner)
You better get yourself together
While you're wastin' all your time
(Get yourself together)
Right along with your mind
[Verse 7]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
Where you gonna be?
(Outside, on the corner)
You better get yourself together
While you're wastin' all your time
(Get yourself together)
Right along with your mind
[Verse 8]
Well-uh mister black man, tell me where you're headin'
The last few years I watched while you were sheddin'
Pounds and pounds of growth off the population
Soon, we won't be able to have a strong black nation
A shootin' here, a stabbin' there, but when it stop?
'Cause now you're dyin' from a 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
Projects, drive-by's, callin' each other "****"
I'm not here to scold but rather shape the mold
That young black mind that won't live to grow old
'Cause you're frontin', smokin' on the blunt and
Down with your friends 'cause you think you're makin' ends
But you're not and that's the truth of the matter
Your brother gettin' skinny 'cause you want your pockets fatter
[Verse 9]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
Where you gonna be?
(Outside, on the corner)
You better get yourself together
While you're wastin' all your time
(Get yourself together)
Right along with your mind
[Verse 10]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
Where you gonna be?
(Outside, on the corner)
You better get yourself together
While you're wastin' all your time
(Get yourself together)
Right along with your mind
[Verse 11]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
Where you gonna be?
(Outside, on the corner)
You better get yourself together
While you're wastin' all your time
(Get yourself together)
Right along with your mind
[Verse 12]
Five o'clock in the mornin'
Where you gonna be?
(Outside, on the corner)
You better get yourself together
While you're wastin' all your time
(Get yourself together)
Right along with your mind
