Wake Up

[Verse 1]
All my friends had kids when they had fake IDs
Got jobs they don't want for money they do need
Drive cars they don't like, but pay them high gas fees
They still eat fast food, but damn it they hungry
What I'm saying "they" for, I woke up in a '06 honda
Tell Future quit playin' bro, yeah the present is a gift
But my mortgage got a lift, self esteem took a shot
I came back triple strength, never learned how to quit
I got angels
Pillow talk with a twist, that's my label
Ghost writers, find my pens you're in danger
Could've wrote a book in Revelations
Born a lil' late, now it's poetry for strangers
Oh yeah
Generation X, all dreams no patience
But I wouldn't change it, Hell, I'm going places
Kill the victim playing, system blaming, and get it
I know too many with potential that missed it

[Verse 2]
Low standards, happy life, that's the trick ain't it
Tried that, got bored, yo, I'm gear changing
That's why, I hated school, it was fear based
Had a voice, you busy trying keep me in place
Stop that, I'm the future of your country
Do you want that, feelin' oppressed 'til I see pressure
And we bust that, do what you expect me to do
See your building, take your rules, bust a nut, bust a move
Who are you?
Not that person on the net
Who are you?
Not that person you respect
Who are you?
I been searching for the answers
Been recording what I find, tell you story, dawg, keep doing you
Liked rap, bought a booth
I was only 15, bagging groceries came through
Leaders got bad taste, so I took it to the youth
Don't wait for the perfect time, don't you wait to get approved
Wake up
