Wake Up

Kinda feel like I wasted time

Put down the pen and focus on the climb

Coulda did both but I lost my mind

Thinkin' rappers only make it if we steadily grind

Like, who the hell am I without the rhyme?

Seems obvious but I guess I was blind

Shoulda, coulda, woulda but there ain't no rewind

Gotta do what I can to get outta my bind, yeah

Fell down but I'm back up

Every time I move forward I feel the impact of

My own thoughts get stacked up

Against me arresting all the peace that I captured

All the freedom I had once

Knee deep in defeat, all these feelings subtract the

Whole reason I rap for

Whole reason I needed to bleed on these beats

And release all the demons in me

All the things keepin' me on a leash

Feelings so weak, HP send me melodies

I don't know where I am but I gotta leave gotta flee

To the top of the tree on the top of the mountain

Unlocking my wings and I open my mouth and release the big fountain

Of lyrical light that will heal and ground me

Wake up, wake up wake up wake up

Wake up, wake up wake up wake up

Breathe slow, homie, where did I go?

Lost myself in a hell I never thought I would know

Put my art on a shelf and I severed the flow

Of my words like a bird, unable to float

Breathe deep I never thought I would see myself

Jeopardizing everything I thought I believed

Took a minute to get energy inside of my feet

If you give me just a moment I'm about to be free

Breathe in, and I'm at it again

Feel the color flowing out of me and out of my skin

I'm ready for whatever, man, I'm ready to win

Got a spark in my heart and a pad and a pen

Breathe out tell you what I'm about

Losing negativity and all of my doubt

Focusing on freedom, getting out of my drought

Get free, stay free, baby, sing it out loud, uh

Back into the verse, back to this craft that captured me first

And had me unpacking damage rehearsed of my past, I lack capacity words

Unburden my person this stagnant curse, I reversed it

By writing verses in cursive

I am reminded that I already outlined my worth and my purpose

Wake up, wake up wake up wake up

Wake up, wake up wake up wake up

Extra, extra, extrovert Get your shit together, get to work

I swear to death this life is blessed

That's the key scaredy cats, won't take the leap

But I hop the turnstile, avoid the curbstomp

Stock the pantry, embrace the mystery taste the universe, chase the victory

Anxiety shit really gets to me take a breath, gotta get somewhere, take a step

I get better with age, but today I'm the best that I've ever been, and

I don't know much But I love my friends, and I love to work

And I'll tiptoe to every edge of this earth Just to find myself on an endless search, search, search, search

Recovering addict, loved ones lost, spreading their ashes

I'll put a little bit of magic into everyday habits

And get rid of attachments

And glad to be stable, not lostin my head

And I got out of bed, and I'm glad to be able

Don't give a shit if you hate it, this glitter it sacred I'm covered in rainbows

I'm radically grateful

For we never know when we won't wake up

For we never know when we won't wake up

For we never know when we won't wake up

For we never know when we won't wake up
