Wake Up My Child

Uncle Donnie and Grandpa Joe

 Came to see ma and pa on the east side- Bought ma some flowers on central av-

enue-

 Walking through skid row Joe saw

 The girl with her guitar

 That kid has so much

 Wake up my child

 And stop your runnin' wild

 I'll give you everything I can

 Wake up my and breathe

 In you I still believe

 I hope some day you'll understand

 After dinner Pa and Donnie got drunk

 In the kitchen playin dominoes while the twins went

 Down to the jungle to see who they could find

 Walking down Crenshaw that girl

 Dream brother couldn't leave alone

 That kid has so much

 Wake up my child

 And stop your runnin' wild

 I'll give you everything I can

 Wake up my and breathe

 In you I still believe

 I hope some day you'll understand

 Free yourself

 My child

 You will always be a part of me Free yourself

 My child

 Some day I hope you will see

  Its 3 the hard way like ma and pa said They were doing the best they can But

my name is your name...

 Wake up my child

 And stop your runnin' wild

 I'll give you everything I can

 Wake up my and breathe

 In you I still believe

 I hope some day you'll understand
