Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Uh-huh
Oh, yeah, man
I'm doin' good, bruh
I'm just go, uh
Fuck it, yeah
Look
[Verse 2]
Good morning, new world, good morning, America
No warning, no fear, no mournin', no cryin', no tearin' up
No Crescent Park in the news and no cousins that's gearin' up
No mother's weepin', and no reason for grievin', we veerin' up
I'm clearin' up any past assumptions
I navigated the path you raided
And allocated my space from the trap you brung us
I clung to the aspirations and goals
But the passive aggressive passion
**** be passin' off, is an act of laymen
I'm layin' my mark in the sand
I don't wanna play no part in the plan
I don't wanna say what is underway
You can never understand what's in the heart of a man
I manually manufacture my own trajectory
Still petrified, if I step and slide, nobody's catchin' me
Catch me after I cuff a million
I used to stand in the mirror and merely dream of the moment
I ever would touch this feeling
I feelin' my light is a part of a larger scope
If you garnish hope
Then it ain't just my art that you bargain for
Wake up
[Verse 3]
Yeah
(Wake up)
I mean, I'm not wastin' a minute, man
(Wake up)
Ya'll motherfuckers could play around
(Wake up)
Ayo, Apollo, yo
(Wake up)
[Verse 4]
Rise and shine, get on top of your grind
(Wake up)
Follow your heart and don't ever stop till you fly
(Wake up)
Follow your passion, fuck if they askin'
(Wake up)
They stay down, I
(Wake up)
They get down, I
(Wake up)
[Verse 5]
This is just a fraction of his compassion, but it isn't cash
And cashin' a check that my ass wrote when I dipped in rappin'
This distraction never can fix the past
How do I switch the caption, switch the track?
Should **** be sniffin' ass just to get a laugh in?
Why would I ever rationalize
When **** be hashin' out lies?
And it just so happens I'm after something
But I'm draggin' this pride
And it's like the baggage you have to claim
When the package arrives
Or passenger flies, and you have to comply
[Verse 6]
I've been up, I've been even lower
Even though I've seen 'em grow, I've seen 'em blow
I've seen 'em sew up scenes
Even though it's so obscene
I know it, but I took those bruises in stride
And I've pushed that noose to the side
And it ain't just you I confide
I've been up the creek, but the weight is off
Swimmin' upstream with the hate I scoff
I don't wanna say what is underway
You could never understand what I had to take, I fought
I bought a piece of America's nightmare
Sold it back inside a rap
By the highest price you could bear
Wake up
[Verse 7]
Yeah
(Wake up)
Ya'll motherfuckers wanna procrastinate
(Wake up)
Yo
(Wake up)
While ya'll motherfuckers waitin' on that
(Wake up)
[Verse 8]
Rise and shine, get on top of your grind
(Wake up)
Follow your heart and don't ever stop till you fly
(Wake up)
Follow your passion, fuck if they askin'
(Wake up)
They stay down, I
(Wake up)
They get down, I
(Wake up)
