Awake Songtext
How long you think niggas gon' be sleep?
Like this God speakin', nigga
Parkin' the bell, nigga
(Awake)
It's not beauty and the beast
It's beauty in the beast
Niggas no longer blink (Awake)
Every man of Allah
Every soldier on the yard
Like this God speakin', nigga
Parkin' the bell, nigga
(Awake)
It's not beauty and the beast
It's beauty in the beast
Niggas no longer blink (Awake)
Every man of Allah
Every soldier on the yard
Bloods, Crips, GDs, Vice Lords (Awake)
From Chicago to Cali
From New York to Miami
In every hood, block, and alley (Awake)
We no longer set blippin'
A new king has risen
With strength and enrichment
Time to lay down a demonstration, yeah
Hit-Boy been laced him, 'bout to rude awaken 'em
Hahaha, tables done turned, bridges done burned
Once that window is closed, it's over, you heard?
Threw up my hands like, "Blood, I'm through"
Tired of throwin' the bags, runnin' from the boys in blue
Tired of wonderin' if this next car gon' shoot
Tired of these watered-down Damus hollerin' out, "Whoop"
Come on, lil' homie, I heard it all before
All them killer stories, shit really bore me
Who could be against me if Jehovah is for me?
I did my homework, you workin' with authorities Reliable source exposin' paid informants
But I'm ballin' with Hit-Boy, I knew it was one for me
Knew I was destined for greatness, on me
If we don't get the respect we deserve, we gon' take shit
(Awake)
It's not beauty and the beast
It's beauty in the beast
Niggas no longer blink (Awake)
Every man of Allah
Every soldier on the yard
Bloods, Crips, GDs, Vice Lords (Awake)
From Chicago to Cali
From New York to Miami
In every hood, block, and alley (Awake)
We no longer set blippin'
A new king has risen
With strength and enrichment
So many tears on a hard face, they tattoo it
When I create from a dark place, that's black music
G's dance to it, bang and stack to it
Gang signs in the daytime
Could be motivatin' if we all push the same line
Maybe they'll get it one day
Or is it way too late? Shit, I don't know
And you could never understand the shit we go through
They ain't gotta know your name, niggas'll still smoke you
Too many complex con artists, they want you to stop ballin'
My driver reversed in, he keep the Maybach started
I pursued my calling, so how could you hate on me?
And make me feel like this red beam gotta stay on me?
My own kind, take some time to get to know God
'Cause knowin' God is knowin' yourself
I really had to do it dolo, homie, no help
So you could do it too, dreams only come true if you awake (Awake)
It's not beauty and the beast
It's beauty in the beast
Niggas no longer blink (Awake)
Every man of Allah
Every soldier on the yard
Bloods, Crips, GDs, Vice Lords (Awake)
From Chicago to Cali
From New York to Miami
In every hood, block, and alley (Awake)
We no longer set blippin'
A new king has risen
With strength and enrichment
From Chicago to Cali
From New York to Miami
In every hood, block, and alley (Awake)
We no longer set blippin'
A new king has risen
