Wakeup

lyrics

Wake up Get up
Get up Wake up


Best to take hold of the factors that you do control

Better rise early and get that chicken before the rooster crows

I’m tryna keep the farm close like a old mac donald

Back when I was broke now that’s somebody that I used to know

Lots of folk that’s not the same person if the truth be told

Instead of being real rather wrap the jewels in golden foil

If we in the same game must be running off a different code

I need a career at least with upward mobility

It be days I don’t receive the sleep that I’m needing

Working all the time its hard to tell when the week end

If you ain’t strong enough then ask for help and don’t pretend

Work today and tomorrow
Up at 6 in the car
Otw to the job

Cause for no alarm
Every exit a start
Every negus a star

Back at it again I’m about to need some more money to spend


Wake up Get up
Get up Wake up


I used to count the sheep on the way to my dreams
Now I'm more focused on counting green see how much i recieve
I might need a machine
I upgraded the leaves
My pad went from the wide ruled to those collegiate things
From the lettuce to the kale like my garden could bring em
Different leaves in the spring
I'm leaving for seasons cuz i see the seasoning's changed
Me I'm out in the range
Me I'm roving like I was landing on mars for some days
I'm feeling so strange
The brew is amazing
I just do it and save it
While you losing your patience
Shawty mood improving from the more that we make it
Getting cheddar and cutting the bacon
