lyrics

next day – making headway
people of the red clay
come on – run that
sunlight on the comeback
hidden truth gonna come into view
lies evaporate like the morning dew
race against time, you'll only get caught
first light of dawn – already hot

daybreak, beat break, heatwave,
press play, sun rays on the red clay headspace
brought rhyme to the thoughtcrime hotline
sun coming online
elevator, escalator, staircase
raw light burn fog up out the airspace
tell the two-faced crews it's a new day
sub-bass shake the knots out your shoelace
or your velcro straps or whatnot
oneshot snare cracks like a gunshot
hotter than a sunspot with the new songbook
eye contact – take a good long look
dawntime with the mercury climbing
wack emcees all nursery rhyming
eyes up – sheen on the sheet metal
rise up – steam from the tea kettle

next day – making headway
people of the red clay
come on – run that
sunlight on the comeback
hidden truth gonna come into view
lies evaporate like the morning dew
race against time, you'll only get caught
first light of dawn – already hot

even in the shade 96 Fahrenheit
cuts intricate from the blade of a paring knife
precise in the early day
laid back on the slice – learn the way
sun of the morn – don the iron shirt
no questions asked – i'm firing first
past gone – surpass the small scale
tear tracks dried up to a salt trail
season the flow – be in the know
believing in the healing and i'm stealing the show
raw rhyme for the vibe and the scene's set
I mean that you ain't seen a thing yet
act one of the play – take a look this way
high resolution display
fine detail, ain't it so? untold tales
hope in the soul prevails – smoke trails

next day – making headway
people of the red clay
come on – run that
sunlight on the comeback
hidden truth gonna come into view
lies evaporate like the morning dew
race against time, you'll only get caught
first light of dawn – already hot

end of the night, beginning of light
real life – reveal all that's hidden from sight
just a prelude to the way hues form up when the day's new
warm up – stay true
put your foot down where the one's at
where the sun's at – look now, light on the comeback
run that – soundtrack to lucid dreams
decorate the street with humid steam
a matter of moments – it disappears
moisture transmutes – infuse the atmosphere
set the stage on page one – mark the occasion
no escape from the day's sun
shade outstretched at the first light outset
but it ain't for long, so don't doubt that
light with the heat coming hand in hand
rekindle the flame – enchant the land

next day – making headway
people of the red clay
come on – run that
sunlight on the comeback
hidden truth gonna come into view
lies evaporate like the morning dew
race against time, you'll only get caught
first light of dawn – already hot
