Always Woke Lyrics

Cruisin' these late night streets see nothin' but cars and stars

And I've been tryna find peace, but it just seems so hard

Reminiscin' bout times when I was just a lil' boy

Before I picked up a stick when I was playin' with toys

And I've been tryna stay outta shit, but it's so hard to avoid

Was tryna run up a mil before my son was born

And I'm just tryna tell my story before my page get torn

And shit I'm always woke, why would I need a alarm

Whoever step in the way, gotta get hit with no blitz

Like why they gotta throw salt, might box him up with no ritz

Ain't hearin' shit niggas sayin', really be counterfeit

I ain't on top of the game, but I won't crash tryna leave me a dent

Say I been focused on time, they wanna know where I went

Gotta grind so my pockets ain't lent

Hopin' God forgive me for all the sins I commit

Been through the rain and storm, I'm talkin' thick through the thin

They want me to fall raindrops, but know that I look for the signs

'Tween love and hate is a thin line, and most niggas not even on mine

For music, I got a passion, so you know that I'm takin' my time

Got mine, I got yours, more than your goddamn spine

Say I'm always ahead, I'm never left behind

Follow my own rules, never get left in the blind

Say I been tired of waitin' up in this long ass line

Where you lost in your thoughts, and they'll tell you it's fine

Cruisin' these late night streets, see nothin' but cars and stars

And I been tryna find peace, but it just seem so hard

Reminiscin' bout times when I was just a lil' boy

Before I picked up a stick, when I was playin' with toys

And I been tryna stay out of shit, but it's so hard to avoid

Was tryna run up a mill before my son was born

And I'm just tryna tell my story before my page get torn

And shit I'm always woke why would I need a alarm
