Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Uh, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
Don't throw water, or pinch, or try to shake me
Eyes wide open, loafing, don't try to break me
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
[Verse 2]
Uh, I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
I left my body, I'm floatin' over the waves
Fell from a bird and crawled out of a cave
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
[Verse 3]
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake, uh
The cool kid that's feelin' so outta place, uh
Leap bounding my soul to outer space, uh
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake, uh
[Verse 4]
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake, uh
I'm snow globin' and rollin' home with my pants off
The cocoa is the most difficult to face, so
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake, uh
[Verse 5]
Wakin' up with my eyes wide shut
I ain't gotta panic, push or rush
I'm in tune with the tune, vibrations of the Moon
I can see it in my soul, feel it in my gut
Wait, that's too deep, let me tell you in 2-D
My rent's late, plus they put a boot on our hooptie
My man Ricky got killed for sellin' his lucys
Black Cuban, used to play the drums so beautifully
Now the music's gone, but the block ain't silent
Every other day, you hear the sounds and sirens
How Mister Roger's Neighborhood get so violent?
Now I'm tryna move out over to Gilligan's Island
Where I could post up and view of the lake
Take the dark shades off, feel the Sun on my face
I'm regaining my faith
We all ballin' when we dream, but can you do it awake?
[Verse 6]
I'm wide awake, (Yeah) I'm wide awake (Yeah)
**** sees, uh, what's overseas, uh
A couple stallions and studs holdin' the Visa
Layin' in houses of mud, makin' Mona Lisa's
Out of everything good, it's so reachable
Lending back to back sounds, see what your hand can do
I'm a Titan of sound, give you a manual
Take a flight for the sound, that's what Ahmir would do
Give up life for the love found, for the jam I do, uh
I've been reeling these ears in, fulfilling my prophecy
Probably for my peers, they helped me recognize that
I've been healing these ears
Take out time in my day, to make a way from the years
That I was doggin' women much, yet cautious, yup
Tryna barter my ball if a pussy swimmin' up
**** fallin' beneath the being of a Caucus mountain descendant
Descending to mingle with Puerto Rico
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
[Verse 7]
Momma put me on a bike, said handle yours
Embrace your fall, that's what your hands are for
So get up and show the world what you're standing for
The footsteps of a giant, they can't ignore
When you take a kid given nothin', teach him a little knowledge
Polish his perspective, tell him, nothin' is promised
But death, so find beauty in survivin'
And keep your eyes wide, the wolves are watchin'
You from the balcony
Well, if they got it out for me
Tall 'em take a number, I'm hard to hit like the lottery, uh
The headlines, they will never make a mockery, uh
I'm not a show pony, ain't nobody ridin' me
Try, and I'ma black out in this black skin
Jeff taught me how to hit 'em with the backspin
But, these **** can't see me through the black tint
Now it's time for some, time for some action
I'm wide awake, you wide awake?
[Verse 8]
I'm wide awake, but not awake
Bustin' back at the opps, then make my escape, 'cause
Tell my momma don't cry for me at the wake, God
Wide awake, but not awake
[Verse 9]
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake, uh
I'm spinnin' women and throwin' it in they face, uh
God forgive me, 'cause living is limiting, uh
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake, uh
[Verse 10]
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake
Me and my queen, make love with our embrace
Holdin' the key to the best love to make, uh
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake, uh
[Verse 11]
I'm wide awake, God, I'm wide awake
She took the kids and dipped to another state, 'cause
We'd been engaged for years, she couldn't wait, but
I'm awake, I'm wide awake
[Verse 12]
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake, uh
Cheek on her tummy, I feel it kickin' my face, uh
I find beauty in anything we create, 'cause
I'm wide awake, uh, I'm wide awake
