Lyrics
[Hook]
I was sleep in my life with my eyes wide open
Running from myself, yeah my soul was broken
They was talking money but they spirit stolen
I had to lose that version just to stay chosen
I heard God in the silence, it was low but potent
Had to change that frequency I was locked in motion
Now I move with a purpose they don’t understand
This ain’t luck, this the wake up, this the master plan
[Verse 1]
I was born in the noise where the storms get loud
Where you pray for the sun but you live in the clouds
Everybody preaching hard but they hurting inside
We was taught how to hustle but not how to survive
I was chasing the image, they was chasing the thrill
I was masking the pain with ambition and pills
Had a smile on my face, had a war in my head
Every night saw the truth in the dreams I bled
I done lost too many to the streets and pride
Too many kings never made it past twenty five
They told me be a man, never show no tears
But my soul been screaming what my mouth wouldn’t share
[Pre Hook]
I was tired of running but scared to stand still
Scared if I slowed down I might feel what I feel
Then I hit rock bottom and the bottom spoke back
Said you either gon’ evolve or you stuck where you at
[Hook]
I was sleep in my life with my eyes wide open
Running from myself, yeah my soul was broken
They was talking money but they spirit stolen
I had to lose that version just to stay chosen
I heard God in the silence, it was low but potent
Had to change that frequency I was locked in motion
Now I move with a purpose they don’t understand
This ain’t luck, this the wake up, this the master plan
[Verse 2]
I had scars on my heart I ain’t show to no one
Had a crowd round me but I still felt alone
I was loud in the streets but quiet with God
Didn’t know I was lost till I looked in the dark
Had a phone full of numbers but no real peace
Had a pocket full of dreams but no belief
I was chasing that high just to feel alive
Now I’m sober in my spirit, I’m awake inside
I had to unlearn survival, relearn worth
Had to stop blaming hell and start doing the work
I was fighting the world when the fight was me
I was trying to get free but I couldn’t see
[Bridge]
They never told me the prison was mental
They never told me the chains was internal
They showed me gold but not how to be whole
Gave me the road but not how to control
Now I sit with my thoughts and I listen close
Every loss was a mirror of who I was
Every tear was a signal I couldn’t ignore
Every breakdown was knocking at a higher door
[Hook]
I was sleep in my life with my eyes wide open
Running from myself, yeah my soul was broken
They was talking money but they spirit stolen
I had to lose that version just to stay chosen
I heard God in the silence, it was low but potent
Had to change that frequency I was locked in motion
Now I move with a purpose they don’t understand
This ain’t luck, this the wake up, this the master plan
[Outro]
I didn’t move cities, I moved my mind
Didn’t change enemies, I changed my time
Didn’t get saved in a church or a street
I woke up the day I chose myself over me
Now I still in the trenches but my vision clean
Same block, new thoughts, new destiny
This ain’t the end, it’s the moment I woke
This ain’t a song, it’s a frequency note
