Message of The Day (with Kevin Hart) Lyrics

So I was in the gym today, and while I was on the treadmill

Somebody came and asked me, they said Kev why you do this man

They said, Goddamn why you go so hard

You know what my answer was, why don't you

Instead of worrying about my why

Worry about your why don't or your why not

Worry about your reason

That's the thing everybody's focused on everybody else's reason

You looking for motivation through other people

Instead of finding it in your Goddamn self

It's an early morning message for those that simply look

And those that simply want to understand a better way to apply yourself

They be like Narleyy why you go hard

Cause I want toys in the yard and not a go-kart

Thinking about my past like nigga you came so far

In the mix with stars, they telling me that I'm so hard

If I didn't believe in God I'd probably be living so dark

I can hear my granny telling me keep going boy you so smart

Easier said than done man this shit be getting so hard

Protect my peace I don't want no parts

Yea, I don't want no parts

Ask me why I do this shit, lose my shit

Hop on beats abusing shit, the coolest shit

They be tryna use my shit, like who is this

By the time they figure me out, I be on to the newest shit

I'm probably with my newest bitch, the coolest bitch

I told em I'm a fool with this and true to this

I even told em I was through with this, I'm cool on it

But I'm so fucking used to this

I still won't let nobody change me

Why would I change when this the shit that pays me

And if I'm being honest this the shit that made me

I gotta keep it real this shit what saved me

It kept me out the streets and gangbanging so I can't leave

I made a promise to God

Say, if you help me right these verses ima stop living fraud

Ima tell them all about you, like I got this from God

Yea I got this from God, no cap nigga

It ain't about other people man, stop worrying about other fucking people

Fuck them people, worry about you

It ain't about my why, I know my reason, find yours

Message of the day, find your reason

After you find your reason fall in love with that reason

And get up and work towards that every single day

Fuck what they say bout me

Cause my God, he don't play bout me

I don't trust these niggas I put my faith in G

When I was fucked up down bad he helped me get on my feet

Shit he even gave me something to eat

I used to do this shit for DarcSide, Darc Rollin, and even Sleez

But I keep hearing Mrs. Fannie telling me do it for me

Just keep your faith in God and you can be

Whatever you wanna be, this how she would talk to me

Yea it took patience

Hard work, dedication keep you out the matrix

Fucked up generation it's on me to save it

Even the pastor got it on him, this shit nothing to play with

We gotta make it make sense

And we got babies raising babies who the fuck they stay with

Never see the baby daddy, who the fuck they lay with

Say, who the fuck they stay with, my mama wasn't having that shit

Okay now back to the basics

If rap don't work out you know niggas going right back to the basement

At my granny house where we used to make hits

As long as she watching over me it's like I can't miss

Boy I wish that she could see me now

And greet me now

Can't let G-Mama see me down

She see me smile

I wish that she could meet my child

To my kids up in heaven, I really hate I let you down

That shit been keeping me around

That's how you get to happy

You get to happy by learning yourself

Fuck them people, fuck what they doing and what they got

Message

I can hear my granny telling me keep going boy you so smart

Easier said than done man this shit be getting so hard

Protect my peace I don't want no parts
