Wide Awoke

Peace to the Gods The true and living With the clearest vision The chosen ones who chose themselves Suntruth And I won't sleep no more I'm wide awoke, wide awoke I'm wide awoke, wide awoke And I won't sleep no more I'm wide awoke, wide awoke I'm wide awoke, wide awoke Gleam in my eye Holding my gun Feeling bold inside Mark, get set, run it Tryna fill this hole inside Devils told a lie Had me convinced That being a man Was to get on some ol gangsta shit So through the bars I've burned In his Hell on earth But through my scars I've learned to build up self-worth Though, pray tell How can a man heal in Hell Fighting for his life Pray they don't seal the well The prey they don't see well Caught lacking by the jackals And I ain't gon' cap, duke In the past I might of jacked you, too But that's in the past And I'm a changed man And now I'm thinking long range I got a whole new game plan And if you only do the same You get more of the same man Raise your frequency Let's take a brain scan Want to Make a difference Be different, see differently I had an Epiphany Got the Knowledge of Self And from the bondage it lifted me Now I won't sleep no more I'm wide awoke, wide awoke I'm wide awoke, wide awoke Now I won't sleep no more I'm wide awoke, wide awoke I'm wide awoke, wide awoke Ancestral spirits looking over my shoulders Whispering words of Wisdom Asking me to push forward Throughout the trials and tribulations Slavery, suffering, and death I'm empowered by their strength That I inhale through each breath In my mind's recess I reach depths unknown And, Lo, I struck Gold Found the Philosopher's Stone Your Karma's your own I paid for mine in the dark Swimming with sharks Majored in the Criminal Arts See, I played that part But that's not the shape of my heart Change up my thoughts A Call of Duty I had to respawn But life is like a game of dice Seldom though Do you have a chance to play it twice So make sure you play em right No ass-betting Understand your Culture Roll with God It's I Self Lord and Master, like Farad I stood on the front lines Of a spiritual war And I'm still here ten toes I build with the Gods I said I stood on the front lines Of a spiritual war And I'm still here ten toes I build with the Gods And I won't sleep no more I'm wide awoke, wide awoke I'm wide awoke, wide awoke And I won't sleep no more I'm wide awoke, wide awoke I'm wide awoke, wide awoke And I won't sleep no more I'm wide awoke, wide awoke I'm wide awoke, wide awoke
