Wake Up!

Yeah
Yeah
Uh huh uh huh
Yeah
Wake yo ass up

510 In the morning, that alarm on
I almost throw my phone
I answer with a deaf tone
HELLO?
"Mr Mercer man I finally caught yo cellphone"
"Just wanted to let you know how proud I am you put yourself on"
I'm happy
My dreadlocks nappy
No task force at me
My cash flow at ease
Appreciating life man it ain't too shabby
At the end of the day, a niggah happy
And dandelions
I respond "you know I'm trying"
As soon as my people complying
I'm thinking about the perfect timing
"That's what's up" my main man said gracefully
And looking in his eyes I can see all the complacency
He look like me, but he struggling, hustling
The world love hate us black man
Compared to them other man
The bottom of the prejudice food chain
Created by the government
Don't make me look into your eyes and see some other shit
I'm fighting war that will take a couple hundred years
Assuming we do it the right way and ditch our fears
We never cry our facial expressions you see them tears
I love Oakland but who gives a fuck that I'm from here

I'm from the hood but so what
I move around and go up
I be pressing my luck
Trying to come back for you ducks
I got my word and my nuts
And I ain't losing not one
The fame will come when it come
The game will always move on
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up

The tooth fairy will be coming soon
The tooth fairy?
Yup
Every time I lose a tooth the tooth fairy takes it away
And leaves a dollar under my pillow
Man ain't no such thing as the tooth fairy
Then who's leaving the money
Probably your parents
Why would they lie to me
Wake up
Because the truth hurts jasmine

I'm chilling like a villain with my boy Infinxte
Every time we get together it ain't never simple shit
I'm tripping if you touch him cause I love him like my infant kid
I'm taking shit
But really if you touch him then I'm sparking shit

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
The world is a hard and lonely place
And no one gets anything for free
And you wanna know what else?

I get the bag and I share it with the whole family
Not relatives or associates that's trying to earn my amnesty
How can it be
I let everybody go and then I blew up
Everybody can't go is a sentiment that I never knew of

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
One day, you and everyone you know is gonna die

I'm from the hood but so what
I move around and go up
I be pressing my luck
Trying to come back for you ducks
I got my word and my nuts
And I ain't losing not one
The fame will come when it come
The game will always move on
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
Time for you to wake up
