Blu - Wake Up lyrics

Wake Up and pray give thanks for another day
Take a little time to stop and praise
Then be on your way but first wake up
Give thanks for another day
Take a little time and meditate
Get busy then be on your way

Wakey Wakey, mans all snakey
Man up gracefully and you'll thank me
Stand up face the streets and proceed
Go leave the hood to more good
Knowledge is power
Dollar is the model of tomorrow
Yesterday, present day, can I ball
A resurrection in my deck
Since I'm listening to
Beats just to see where my head is, bet it
Ahead of this I wreck it
Stress free I'm destined to be I once dreamed
Deeper than kings 6'3" I was 6'4"
Living his dreams in 3D
Memories visit me like remember me?
When we was free Jesus, Kings even
Think about it nothing odd about it
Hard for me to doubt it
When I'm sitting in history
Pissed cause the only time you're benching
Me is when you're lynching me
Woke up and they was lending me money
Killing me many
And when I speak about it they
Just look at me funny like isn't he funny?
What is he rapping about now honey? Money?
No dummy, I think he said God
Apparently black people think their Gods
Have we been sleeping? I think we need to

I seen a lot of dreams at long beach
Chillin' in the breeze when you
Walk by the sea see it in the eyes of most
Folks you meet around the lakes
So I know what they expect me to be
Just another MC out to be big Will
Get mills and park my wheels all up
In the hills and peace, please
I knew I'd get this far
The hard part is putting art over the cheese
Artists tryna steal something weird from here
Trying not to leave a homie at the rear
I fear one and trust none but the G O
Even though the love for my people is sincere
Made it to the pier
I just became peers in this weird life like
"How the fuck you get up here?"
Realized I was following a dream I had and
Didn't notice I sleepwalked out
My little sphere smoke clear, mind open
Sunshine over 'em usually go gold as a God
Eyes is bliss
Wipe the crust out your eyes and shit
And realize that you really God
But first you gotta
