“Then Jacob” is a phrase from Genesis 29:1-30 in the (NASB). The song starts off the narrative of Jacob wanting Rachel, but waking up to see he slept with and married Leah. This is Jacob’s anger.
[Intro]
Oh I see it in you
Oh I see it in you, love
Oh I see it in you, love
Oh I see it in you, love
Oh I see it in you, love
Oh I see, oh I see, oh I see your love
Oh I see, oh I see, oh I see your love
Oh I see, oh I see, oh I see your love
[Chorus]
Yeah I saw her when I woke up
Yeah, who be you when I woke up?
Yeah, who be you when I woke up?
Yeah I saw her when I woke up
Yeah I saw her when I woke up
Yeah, who be you when I woke up?
Who be you when I woke up?
[Verse 1]
Way too buzzed when I woke up
Not my Rachel
Not my Rachel
Who are you
You are not my Rach
Not my Rachel
Laban
Who is she
Leah
Take it to the knee
She came right roun' when I was asking 'round
You from Haran but you looking wow
Hadda put my lip up on your mouth
I'd do anything for your crown
I'd do anything for you now
Laban I'd work up the ground
You said bone bone to my flesh
But look who I am wakin' up to bed with
Look who I just woke up to bed with
Imma still work up for the "best-est"
Imma still check it off my checklist
Rachel I'm comin' 7 years - ish
[Interlude]
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
[Chorus]
Yeah, I saw her when I woke up
Yeah, who be you when I woke up?
Yeah, who be you when I woke up?
Yeah, I saw her when I woke up
Yeah, I saw her when I woke up
Yeah, who be you when I woke up?
Who be you when I woke up?
