Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Daylight

I wake up feeling like you won't play right

I used to know, but now that shit don't feel right

It made me put away my pride

So long

You made a **** wait for some, so long

You make it hard for a boy like that to go on

I'm wishing I could make this mine, oh

[PreChorus]

If you want it (Yeah)

You can have it (Oh, oh, oh)

If you need it (Ooh)

We can make it (All right)

If you want it

You can have it

[Chorus]

But stay woke

**** creepin'

They gon' find you

Gon' catch you sleepin', ooh

Now, stay woke

**** creepin'

Now, don't you close your eyes

[Verse 2]

Too late

You wanna make it right, but now it's too late

My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid

I'm trying not to waste my time

[PreChorus]

If you want it (Oh)

You can have it (You can have it)

If you need it (You better believe in something)

We can make it (All right)

If you want it

You can have it, ah!

[Chorus]

But stay woke (Stay woke)

**** creepin' (They be creepin')

They gon' find you (They gon' find you)

Gon' catch you sleepin' (They gon' catch you sleepin', puttin' your hands up slow, baby)

Ooh, now stay woke

**** creepin'

Now, don't you close your eyes

[Chorus]

But stay woke (Ooh, yeah)

**** creepin'

They gon' find you (They gon' find you)

Gon' catch you sleepin' (Gon' catch you, gon' catch you)

Ooh, now stay woke

**** creepin'

Now, don't you close your eyes

[Bridge]

How'd it get so scandalous?

Oh, how'd it get so scandalous? Oh

Oh, baby

How'd it get

How'd it get so scandalous?

How'd it get so scandalous?

[Outro]

But stay woke

But stay woke
