My body different (yeah)
Shorty said she tryna kick it (haha)
I'm in her mouth, somethin' like a den-
I just wanna slide (huh)
Party's in the sky like it's 2055
I assume that you're all on the process of waking up
(Great John on the beat, by the way)
Tell you every-, damn
They gon' tell you everything but the good I did
Your brother died and you ain't slide, I know he wish you slid
Both of 'em shot, they at the doc like, "Who the victim is?"
Gotta give me props, I made it far, can't lie, I know I did
In this shit since little kids
Free my hearts, the system takin' fathers from they kids
I know a bitch that line you up, don't need no barber chair
I know a nigga who went savage, 'cause his pops ain't here
Cry before he go to bed
Ask him he feel, he said, "Why am I always in my head?"
Why I gotta keep it on me? Niggas wanna see me dead
And I don't think my momma would like-
I can't fall in love, 'cause that's what karma would like
I feel like everyone above me hate the fact that I'm nice
Closest friends turned to rats, I've seen the black and the white
I don't know what you dealin' with, but just deal with it
Money can't heal pain, I still be feelin' it, I still be, damn
Stabbed you in your back, like back to back, and you just let it slide
But when you finally got 'em back, them niggas act surprised
This shit ain't no act, feel like we cursed, feel like we born to hurt
Honestly, don't know how I stop poppin' Percs, I can't reverse
I can't go backwards
Why you hate me 'cause I'm real? You probably f*ck with actors
Pay attention to this book, you can't be skippin' chapters
Happiness, the one thing we're all chasin' after
If you're ready
To wake up, you're gonna wake up
And if you're not ready, you're gonna stay pretending that you're just a little, poor little me
And, uh, since you're all here
And engaged in this sort of inquiry and listening to this sort of lecture
I assume that you're all on the process of waking up
Or else, you're teasing yourselves with some kind of
Uh, flirtation with waking up
Which you're not serious about
But I assume here, maybe you are not serious but sincere
That you are ready to wake up
And this is your wake-up call
