[Verse 1]
I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals
I'm breaking in, shaping up then
Checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
[Chorus]
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
To make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
[Post-Chorus]
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round
[Verse 2]
I raise my flags, dye my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in, whoa
I'm breaking in, shaping up then
Checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
[Chorus]
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
To make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
[Post-Chorus]
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round
Too high, can't come down
Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round
[Bridge]
When I woke up this morning, I knew that today was the time that I'll better myself
A letter of wealth, 'cause I sense it'll help, and beyond any else, a reflection of self
So, what's the point of this platform that’s for speaking out if I don't know why I rap for?
Every syllable that’s poured I'll be sure that they want an encore from me but more of
Me when I'm peddling, knees feelin' heavy when
Leaning to givin' in, need to be competent
See, what I underwent, reason I comprehend
Need to be living in peace if I wanna win
Free with the pen I vent, feel the adrenaline
Dream like a kid again, breathe in the elements
Harder to see when asleep so I'm waking to be
And I stand and I run on my feet again
See, things come in threes, but in the end we break even
You'll have a win for your loss, the wind when you're lost 'cause you're bound to see change like the seasons
So it's I with the bars, open eyelids and heart
The fear in my mind are just islands apart
I’m defying the odds so I riot the art I'm too wired to buy into lies and remarks
They try to put a show like a pantomime crime, so never mind those with the power they lyin'
I'm a problem, a powerhouse, every last line, so I got em when I pound and I devour these rhymes
Cuz pow I'm a lion, empowered by lines, how's that for me tryin’ to tower these minds
On track like a power line, louder each time, bounce back, ain't no backin' down, 'cause its my time!
[Verse]
Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzlin' like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothin' scares me anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
To make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
[Post-Chorus] Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh oh oh
[Outro]
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, hey
To get up, get up, get up, get up, hey
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, hey
To get up, get up, get up, get up, hey
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, hey
To get up, get up, get up, get up, hey
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
To get up
