Awake

Haven't seen him since July
I guess the fireworks they left
Went through summer heartbreak
I can't do that all again
I ain't trynna hate
What would it take to understand
Know that there's a boss ass woman
Behind every boss ass man

He borrowed my heart and
He returned it broke to me
Exchanged it in for his
So done carrying his B
I'm so done with staying up
And losing so much sleep
And writing songs about the man
Sleeping on a dream

Got to wake up, wake up
Stop wasting my time
I got a full day ahead
And I stay on the grind
Although he left, I'm blessed
Done chasing Mr. Right
I'd rather be the one right in my life

And I'm like
Okay, okay, okay
Right now I'm staying true to
My ways, my ways, my ways
Remember who I was
Before all of the pain
Before I carried all his weight
Yeah
And I'm like
Okay, okay, okay
I'm just so done with
Hearing your name, your name, your name
Dreamed that you could be my Big Sean to Jhene
Couldn't be Twenty88
But I'm awake now

And I need features
I've been eager
Wanna step in the booth
These waves have been getting deeper
Feel prone to sink very soon
I gotta practice my freestyle
Trying to swim to my roots
Produce my own songs and lyrics
I don't just sing to these tunes
But these beats on YouTube
Set a baseline
Used to
Be all acapella
Downplayed my talent
Wrote bars in this cella
Drinkin up all of this tea
He said that we could be together
Broke my heart at 18
Gaslighted me like Cinderella

And I'm like
Okay, okay, okay
Right now I'm staying true to
My ways, my ways, my ways
Remember who I was
Before all of the pain
Before I carried all his weight
Yeah
And I'm like
Okay, okay, okay
I'm just so done with
Hearing your name, your name, your name
Dreamed that you could be my Big Sean to Jhene
Couldn't be Twenty88
But I'm awake now

I'm awake, I'm awake now
I'm awake, I'm awake now
I'm awake, I'm awake now, yeah
I'm awake, I'm awake now
