Oh in the morning
I stumble
my way towards
the mirror and my makeup
it's light out
and I now
face just what I'm made of
There's so much more
left to do
Well I'm not young
But I'm not through
Oh in the evening
I stumble
my way towards another day
we struggle
it's dark out
it's time now
that I pick up my hustle
Make a call
make some cash
make your mark
make it last
tiny scores
tiny rooms
lofty goals
met too soon
too soon
Well here I stand
a broken man
If I could I would raise my hands
I come before you humbly
If I could I'd be on my knees
Come lay down your head upon my chest
feel my heart beat feel my unrest
If Jesus could only wash my feet
Then I'd get up strong and muscle on
Oh in the morning
I stumble
my way towards
the mirror and my makeup
it's light out
and I now
face just what I'm made of
There's so much more
left to do
Well I'm not young
But I'm not through
tiny scores
tiny rooms
lofty goals
met too soon
I stumble
my way towards
the mirror and my makeup
it's light out
and I now
face just what I'm made of
There's so much more
left to do
Well I'm not young
But I'm not through
Oh in the evening
I stumble
my way towards another day
we struggle
it's dark out
it's time now
that I pick up my hustle
Make a call
make some cash
make your mark
make it last
tiny scores
tiny rooms
lofty goals
met too soon
too soon
Well here I stand
a broken man
If I could I would raise my hands
I come before you humbly
If I could I'd be on my knees
Come lay down your head upon my chest
feel my heart beat feel my unrest
If Jesus could only wash my feet
Then I'd get up strong and muscle on
Oh in the morning
I stumble
my way towards
the mirror and my makeup
it's light out
and I now
face just what I'm made of
There's so much more
left to do
Well I'm not young
But I'm not through
tiny scores
tiny rooms
lofty goals
met too soon

For the uninformed
The lines: "Make a call/ make some cash/ make your mark/ make it last
tiny scores/ tiny rooms/ lofty goals/ met too soon/ too soon" says it all, especially if you think of it as a sexual encounter. (ask if you don't understand what i mean)
In the morning he looks at himself in the mirror and looks at what he's worth, perhaps someone who lacks value after a night of prostitution. Then he gives a justification by saying although he is not young, he still has much more to experience in life. Then once it becomes night, he has "stumble" to "pick up [his] hustle", meaning he uses this sexual activity--usually performed at night--to get by.
Later on, he states that he knows his actions are sinful when he calls himself "a broken man". There is a sense of guilt when he says that his heartbeat is "unrest" and wishes for Jesus to wash his feet-- symbolic for a forgiveness of his unholy actions.
I would also like to add that the pronunciation is probably similar to 'phenomena' but replace the ph with an m.
