[Intro: Cozz]
Woo!
Shoutout my hustlers, I mean
Everybody hustlers
You feel me
Look, look
[Verse 1: Cozz]
I said, wake up, open up shop, get your hustle on
Selling pills straight out her crib, and break into another home
Tryna get in and out, get my double-double on
This ain't my story that I'm singing my n***a, but this is another song
This probably your uncle song
Probably your big brother song
Your father or your mother song
I understand your circumstance so in your head there's nothing wrong
How you could blame how you behave?
If we paid and we ain't getting loans
You don't know what's going on
If you ain't live to see this sh** I can't describe
Taking chances so they survive
This all happens just to take a life
In the end it was all for bread
And use the heat just to make it rise
Not sure how to raise a daughter
But they know to raise the price, so what you goin' through
Tell a n***a what you going through
I could probably relate
I could probably be late
And still be on time for you
I could probably spit mind for ya
If you don't wanna tell your story
It's the same as yours, I hustle in the morning
[Chorus: Cozz]
I said, wake up, open up shop, get your hustle on
Selling pills straight out her crib, and break into another home
I understand your circumstance, so in their heads, there's nothing wrong
But they don't know what's going on
They don't know what's going on
[Post-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Wake up
I know only, trapped in the belly of the beat and it's hungry
If I can't lay up in the streets I feel lonely
If I gotta bring out with the streets I feel lonely
[Verse 2: Cozz]
Yeah you got your car, yeah you got your gold
Your money don't fold but your mama is at home
Fam don't want your dirty money
You look clean, but your mama sad
Your girl felt neglected, now your daughter got another dad
Local block hustler, my father was a customer
Mom's used to watch him buy his weed as she cussed at him
Only for the weed, he felt free from that subtle bust
Moved back and it was primetime
And now I'm on my prime time
But hustler turned pimp, doe
He was getting pimp dough
Now only selling his dope
But now he selling nympho's
Not so cautious about how he sells
Made his way to county jails
Now he lonely in them cells
How he feel
It was probably hell
He got out, but on that same sh**
I guess when you lawyer to yourself then you can't switch
But how can you blame kid
Don't know what he goin' through
Cause hustler is his bread and bu*ter
He don't want any other fool
[Chorus: Cozz]
But I wake up, open up shop, get my hustle on
Wake up early in the morn
Make a couple records, getting reckless on these records
Til' these f** n***as respect it
Go and get it, make a difference
Wake up with a new perspective motherf**er
[Post-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Wake up
I know only, trapped in the belly of the beat and it's hungry
If I can't lay up in the streets I feel lonely
If I gotta bring out with the streets I feel lonely
[Refrain: Kendrick Lamar]
Just a father, love my ma
For life and crime, for life and times
It's hard as time
I fall a time, like all the time
And then I dream for baller time
And then the clock rewind, and I
Wake up
I know only
I know only
[Post-Chorus: Kendrick Lamar]
Wake up
I know only, trapped in the belly of the beat and it's hungry
If I can't lay up in the streets I feel lonely
If I gotta bring out with the streets I feel lonely
[Refrain: Kendrick Lamar]
Just a father, love my ma
For life and crime, for life and times
It's hard as time
I fall a time, like all the time
And then I dream for baller time
And then the clock rewind, and I
Wake up
I know only
I know only
[Outro: Cozz & Kendrick Lamar]
We ain't chose this type of living, it's what we gotta do
Part of n***as hear us cripping and drop out of school
Selling d** or they pimping like prostitutes
Living in a nightmare, [?] is what you gotta do
Wake up
[Outro Skit: Cozz]
Hello?
Rise and shine, n***a
Bro, what you need, bro
What you on n***a? You tryna hit up the mall?
Hit up the mall? I got like five dollars
And I know you broker than me bro so what you mean
Yeah, that's why I said "hit up the mall" n***a
Get your a** up man, let's roll
