Keenan Victor - I Don't Wanna Wake Up Lyrics

Nobody taught me how to love
Drowning my feelings my favorite crutch
Pushed to the edge I wouldn't budge
Life a little much, went from aimless to maintaining to feeling like Calvin Cambridge with his braids in
Divination only way to explain it
Look to Kob' and Nip for motivation
Pulling Inspiration from back when Allen wasn't practicing
How you learn to work when you was always the most talented
Show me where the challenge is
Meet it and dismantle it
Light skin killin so you know the vote unanimous
Knew that I could make a jam again
Wasting time if I ain't gotta plan with it
Shit was moving slower than a rapper off the Activis
Dropped a couple projects I ain't know if I would rap again
Ha! that was sacrilege
Aang to ya Aniken
Self-esteem on Lazerus
Wifey was the catalyst
Walking no more chattering
Thriving no more scavenging
Ramen noodle ravaging
To eating with Italians

Living in the moment while the people try to capture it
Couldn't if I wanted it's too great for me to caption it
Black self-love and the whites get to panicking
Racism still alive they just changed the packaging
Made it more elaborate
It died and they adamant
So to tell the truth you gotta find a way to sandwich it
Good bad good only way that they can handle it
All I know is real, you ain't never gotta CAPTCHA it
Only thing I been clicking with is the metronome
Treating Art's crib like a second home
Jeezy told me I could sleep when I die
But these dreams make me feel so alive so I don't wanna wake up

I don't wanna wake up
No I don't wanna wake up
Know I don't wanna
2 for the money
3 for the broke
Can't find peace when ya woke

I can tell you how a broke nigga feels
When his dreams run dry and his hope fill with fear
Universe got plans if I don't don't interfere
But I want it so bad, feel like Joe to Guinevere
I was trapped underseas, under leagues of depression
Let my queen intervene now she lead with no question
What's a dream destined
Peace to the blessings
Reach for the stars fore they reach for that weapon
Robin Leach voiceovers for my life now
Meditate and float into the sky now
Finely gotta little peace of mind now
Past can't keep ya boy tied down
Life get tougher the older you get
But Better than barely getting to live
Imagine this is how feels to be going legit
And to think any day it could flip
So I don't wanna wake up

I don't wanna wake up
No I don't wanna wake up
Know I don't wanna
2 for the money
3 for the broke
Can't find peace when ya woke
