Lyrics
Aye how you feeling?
All them people that's demanding you be perfect got you illin'
Do you wake up in the morning wishing you never did
And go back to your dreams cuz it's where you wanna live
Wake up and live your storyTthey Gon tell you it's all a lie and to ignore me
No more knocking on doors and steady writing letters
Now I'm aiming for a future where I know I can do better
Yea it's gon be alright
But If you cried yourself to sleep for another night
(It's okay) I hope that you can find joy in the next day
Cuz it's gon feel so much better when you find your way
And don't be mad if your down cuz it's part of this
And you get strong with every effort aimed to conquer it
I hope you stay above depression long enough to make a way
For your achievements to stay afloat and fly you out to space
Wake up and live your story
They Gon say you livin a lie and to ignore me
Your problems they gon always be there until you face them
But you got more strength than you know and you can take them
Now I'm open to a world of new perspectives
And moving on from those whose love is so selective
I made em see a world of difference in the flip side
Cuz they'll remember you when they see things ain't goin right
Don't let these people make you think that you ain't worthy at all
When they the same people hoping they gon see you fall
Just believe someone sees what your going through
They may not say it to your face do what you gotta do
And more importantly remember Just look after yourself
Cuz this won't mean a thing if you ain't takin care of your health
We in a different kind of life now they know wassup
Let em be mad when they see you got your head up
Wake up and live your story
They gon say you livin a lie and to ignore me
No more double standards now we're living free
No more living for someone else they won't get more of me
I'm just sayin It gets better
I know that you can't see it now
Believe me when you figure it out it makes a world of difference
They think that we trippin
Mad at us cause we don't want that crazy life they livin
And don't you listen when they say you won't amount to nothing (Nah)
They'll be the same ones clapping when you're doing something
Trying to say that they were there from the get-go
Just be successful make it happen and it's going to show
But maybe we're the ones that meant for realization (Yea)
And we were never supposed to be in this organization
I wonder
I wonder if we're supposed to Be the pioneers (I wonder)
Of another generation overcoming fear
Wake up and live your story
They Gon say you livin a lie and to ignore me
Cuz we could change the world if we show them something better
Or maybe plant a thought that'll stay with them forever
It's too bad they wouldn't listen
But sadly that's a given
The promise of a better day can move your thoughts and feelings
They labeled us the villains when we're the ones that care
Cuz we're the ones that feel it when they're still in despair
Yo they had us thinking crazy
They took all our time
With a promise of a maybe
We hoped that they were right
They left us with this pain so I'm taking back my life
Don't let them take your future while they leaving you behind
Where you wanna go (Yeah)
Wake up and live your story
(Live your story)
It's up to you where you wanna go
Wake up and live your story
(Live your story)
You at the wheel where you wanna go
Wake up and live you story
(Live your story)
Where you wanna go
Where you at
Where you wanna go
