Wake Up
They say, he was a monster from birth, so Fuck it, I'll just a lean warn-os them hoes I suppose O took on the street life Even though my mother told me I could be otherwise
Wasn't the school type, I was too cool My agenda wasn't general education, nigga Generalizing Obie's expectations It was like, a cu-coo in twenty-twos
Bad news my nigga, pass the brew 'Cause in a week we be pouring a glass for you So rapidly homies become casualties We was just playing Madden
Now a nigga sad for his family That's how it happens Dudes get blasted, another casket Another child becomes a fatherless bastard
Make a nigga wanna grab this ratchet It's so tragic and Obie can't get past it And you wonder why a nigga'll flash it Just to show these demons that I ain't having it
Put 'em beneath the grass in a flash Homie I'm from the craft And to make it where I'm at That's called Soldierism
Real niggaz notice 'em They wanna flow with 'em Wanna do major shows with 'em Get the fuck out the ghetto wit 'em
Heavy metal, leave a nigga twisted, don't fret This is the set we live in But I ain't crying or whining about my environment Even though black folk is dying constant
Niggaz'll shoot you unconscious With no conscience, until you lose conscience Conscious and pompous white folk think I'm just rhyming Just designing lines, just for the sake of shining
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Like I just speak violent Applying to the business I'm in Rewind and find him in a dirty ass hood With no sight of climbing
Moving on up was just 'The Jefferson's' Rest of us watching the tube got less then them So why you vexing him? Why you stretching him out? He got the weapon all because his whereabouts
Born and raised, mental slaves And I don't see change before I'm seeing the grave All I see is my homies corpse decay Crying at his wake, can't recognize his face
Face it, you not identifying with me My identity distorts ya visibility So you can't see me, peep what he's achieving You receive information from TV
I'm in the hood, I live it you read about it Rest in peace Peezy, please believe Obie eyes've seen 'The Wire' Prior to what you seeing on the screen
I done been in and out of the bing Lost niggaz to unfortunate things That's why, praise the Lord I'm still on the scene Praise the Creator who made human beings
Just for creating a nigga like me A nigga that put the umph in G, yeah
Wake up, I try to reach out but you won't Wake up, my brothers and sisters, we got to Wake up, 'fore you stuck in the system and then ya Wake up, reality hits ya, before you can
Wake up, I try to reach out but you won't Wake up, my brothers and sisters, we got to Wake up, 'fore you stuck in the system and then ya Wake up, reality hits ya, before you can wake up
