Waking Up

Waking up and you know I’ll be taking my time Waking up and you know I’ll be feeling so fine Waking up and you know I’ll be taking my time Waking up and you know I’ll be feeling so Feeling so All right, 2 am middle of the night No I can’t sleep can’t sit tight Really wanna rhyme Really wanna shine bright Time to define that life I really wanna find No I got nothing to prove when I step in that room I got these thoughts in my mind they consume Yeah I got something inside to provide and I won’t hide Don’t wanna live my whole life in the same way other people do Being content with acting the fool Only time they live their dreams When they sleep on the pillow with the drool Wake up, just another day to waste for the paper Thinking they they’ll do it all later But life it switches and changes From your best friend straight to a hater Really each day is a jewel Nothing you can get back Nothing you can do Time is precious, don’t wanna let this Slide right by, so to find my light I’m restless In the middle of the night Yeah I’m on my grind Travel through time Feeling like I See so clear now, like I got a jet-pack Don’t need fear now, just another setback Never gon’ let that Get in my space Pull me away from the reason I’m put in this place Finding it hard to believe Stuck in my ways Finding it hard to find a way to slow this pace Life slides by, so quickly So I won’t try, to rush too much Waking up and you know I’ve been taking my time Waking up and you know I’ve been feeling so fine Waking up and you know I’ve been taking my time Waking up and you know I’ve been feeling so Feeling so I think we all hypnotized to toe the line As I get older I read between the lines Free my mind so I can be what I Dreamed when I was sixteen working overtime Eyes on the prize now I’m clean with a sober mind Seems that I, paid the price, for some peace of mind I’m surprised That I found a way to change pace, change these ways When I lift these eyelids, see it in my iris Yeah you can medicate and blame away I meditate, pave the way, change my fate Yeah I got dues to pay Who cares what the haters say?
