Wide awake
Wide awake
Yeah yeah (repeating)
Hook:
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Yeah
Yeah
Cuz I've seen some brighter days
Feel like I'm bouta die today
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake

Verse 1:
While they wonder why I'm wide awake
I gotta I gotta get it on right away
I'm praying
I'm wishing maybe that the motto pay
I can not fade out gotta find a way yeah
Always over thinkin everything
Can't change that the rap game went past play time
You're 21 your fun is done you better run buy a gun go to work maybe save lives
And then I need to go the gym and loose weight
Choose fate can you juggle a kid
It's an opportunity not a job I needs food to eat
Gotta stop at the school and see all the teachers that boo to me
All this stuff is so new to me
And now I'll never understand it
I zoned out for a second then I vanished
I don't have a child
But I'm wild
I gotta get my shit together never panic
Damnit I'm so overwhelmed that I never sleep
And when I run in circles can end the day of the week
Just give me a couple of hours to disconnect from the heat
And I swear to god that I will go to the church and try to believe
Please
I don't cuz I believe what I see
Own thoughts are the mc history
I gotta catch up with the mind and it's time
To find and stop and point
I can't avoid the rhymes of
Mine
Chorus1:
They wonder why I'm wide awake
I guess they'll know until I show
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Yeah
Yeah
Hook:
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Yeah
Yeah
Cuz I've seen some brighter days
Feel like I'm bouta die today
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Verse 2:
Alarm clock goin off but I ain't even slept yet
Can never get to restin
And I just want to call the boss
But I don't and he knows now I'm addin to the stressin
Always thinking why does this stuff always happen to me
Feel like I'm slackin when I'm rappin instead of stackin the G's
So to speak I guess
But I wanna be the best
I gotta beat the test
Yeah
During this critical time I gotta add melody
I hope you people will find that you have something to keep
With me
I don't ever wanna leave
So please
Yeah
I ain't ever gonna give it up but I gotta get to bet em hold the pedal to their head
Gotta focus on livin the different levels
Yeah
Not believin what they say C the Gray is insane
He can't spit flame
His lyric levels are lame
I'm picking part his pain
And he sees it
No I wouldn't want to be him breathin
Is he sleepin
I don't believe it
I think we all but I don't
I just leave em
Speechless
Chorus 2:
Man at first all you guys thought I was just sleepin
Now y'all asking me
Why you so wide awake
Yeah
Hook:
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Yeah
Yeah
Cuz I've seen some brighter days
Feel like I'm bouta die today
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
Wide awake
Wide awake
They wonder why I'm wide awake
