wake Lyrics

Every single day I wake

I gotta thank the Lord

Life's a dangerous game

And I don't really play for sport

I'm playing for keeps

I'm playing for my people

I'm playing to make it home at night

Cause that ain't guaranteed to

Not one of us

Tryna dodge the thunderclouds

Tryna put my feelings on this record

Instead of blowing em down

That's really all I been around

I can't blame nobody but myself

Cause I'm gon make it count

I'm gon face my doubts

I'm gon look a hater in his eyes

And walk em down

Tell me why would I be working so hard

If I' wasn't tryna have a child

I'm tryna do more than just my job

On God

It's been a lot

I can't push my feelings to the side

And let em rot

I can't even wake up and face the day

Without putting on a smile

Because we all we got

But I don't really know who I got

I don't really know who I are

I been looking to the stars

Like it's not that far

Don't get swept up

Don't succumb to the pressure

I'm getting my rest up

I'm just trying to do better

Send a letter to whoever

Tell em Drew told you

If you still awoke there ain't reason to not be hopeful

Shit get quiet when you ain't got nobody to hold you

That's why you got get vocal

Don't let em hold you back

Don't chase anything

Don't run after anything

Work to make yourself better so that everything is attracted to you

Focus on yourself

Everything else will take care of itself

Watch your front

Watch your back

Watch the way you act

Don't let em catch you lack

Don't let too many know where you be at

Ducked off the deep end

Can't sink swim

Can't pretend

Can't be round anyone else but myself

We can't be friends

Plus you don't wanna be round me

Won't go nowhere that see ID

They ain't paying me then I wanna leave

I don't stay nowhere I don't wanna be

Man quit your hollering

Get up and go get a dollar man

You a grown man

Change your situation

Stop wallowing

And I ain't following nobody

Stop commenting

Stop asking me all of these questions

Start pondering

And start wandering

Take a walk

Find a stream

Follow the water to a pot of gold

You might find your dreams
