woke up

y'know

there's a difference between dreamin

and visualizin

which one are you doin?

food gone up

gasoline up

full-time employment passin me up

bills pilin up

really this sucks

i need a couple bucks

really i'm stuck

here comes a truck

pullin right up

it says brinks

now i'm thinkin what's up

but nah

what i'm thinkin about

yo duck

20 30 40 shots at the truck

i'm duckin runnin jumpin lookin for what?

some cover for this brother

everything's nuts~!

but yo

i can see some others with gats

brinks firin

they firin back

rat

ta-tat-ta-ta-tat-ta-ta

tat

then i woke up. doctor help me out

what's this all about

what's this condition i gotta figure out

am i really out

that i really doubt

give me the remedy

what is the amount?

whatever you tellin me sellin me compellin me

yo the light in me ain't out

anyway i enter cats remember

knowledge i sent ya forever they shout

south bronx! south bronx!

south bronx! south bronx!

then i woke up. well i guess i'm out on my own

with this condition it won't be long

before for sure my little sanity's gone

i'm livin off of nuttin

losin my home

kids in the street

wife alone

i want to sell this very microphone

but then my friend the light was shown

it came through my inner cellular phone

get up and get out my spirit will shout

commitment is what love is really about

no down and no out

just up and about

i think i'm gonna take the spiritual route

then i woke up. then i realized i'm out of my purpose

out of my purp'

not doin my work

i went on a search

inside of myself

for true health

love awareness and wealth

i went to the temple and opened my mental

i learned that i'm the cause of all that i been through

your whole environment is really within you

reach inside your heart and write a new menu

i'ma be the change that i want to see

now i can see

that i'm really free

everything is really always somethin else

tell yourself a different story 'bout self

do you have the courage to be you

all that talk

that you talk

is it really you?

oh silly you

oh silly me

your tongue is killin you

not killin me

i'm feelin free

to be

just what i wanna be

easily

you see

cause i woke up. when i woke up

my debt went down

my locks broke up

my rent went down

my stocks went up

my car sped up

my pockets swell up

my life i found

i'm not so fed up it's time to get up

a clear mind switched my life around

now i can see where the help is at

the health love awareness and wealth is at

cause i woke up. cause i woke up! i woke up!

when i woke up

i woke up

that's when i woke up

play that back
