[Verse 1]
I risked it all but didn't fall, I got rewarded
I ain't see the sign "Proceed with caution"
Try'na get through what I can, escape the warden
Sold my soul for some gold chains and Jordans
Cocaine and parties 'round, [?]
I'ma just stay in my lane, I got money on my brain
Everyday, everyday, 24/8, call my girl, book more dates
Please refrain if you don't got my rate
Please don't hate, 'cause you was not this great
[?] highly favored by all of the greats
Shout out Mr. Yates, shout out all the people waiting by the gate
Before I go on the stage, there's something I'd like to say
This sh*t didn't happen overnight, it wasn't microwaved
Imagine devoting your whole life like I might get paid
I'm just asking for your ear, not in a Tyson way
I'm just try'na be a Suge Knight, but in a nicer way
Wake up feeling vacant every morning, that's the price you pay
[Chorus]
I wake up every morning
I'm finally seeing light, but I close the blinds
That just be need a warning
You might not always want what you want in time
[Verse 2]
I can't believe we got this far
Man I feel like an actor who just got the part
A player who just made the team
Try'na get from A to B, think I made my way to Z
Certain nights I feel like my whole life is fu*king make believe
Start to think my sh*t don't stink, then realize someone sprayed Febreeze
If nobody's listening, then why do I still say these things?
I am so afraid of things, that I never speak of-
That sh*t eats at you see it through, just start speaking
[Chorus]
I wake up every morning
I'm finally seeing light, but I close the blinds
That just be need a warning
You might not always want what you want in time
[Outro]
I risked it all but didn't fall, I got rewarded
I ain't see the sign "Proceed with caution"
Try'na get through what I can, escape the warden
Sold my soul for some gold chains and Jordans
