{Verse 1} Sometimes I don't understand what's going on I feel like the whole country hearing another song On a different beat, another drum pattern Cause I felt like I had them, since I was 9 with Aladdin On the Super Nintendo, so please tell me where did this time go? Everything just spinning like the vinyl & I'm standing still like the needle, so where the weed go? It's here to release your, pain Besides that I'm a f**ing beast up in the game Sigh, steady trying to figure out my brain In the lame, S Frame they lick, they lames [Hook] Then I inhale & then I exhale & then I inhale & then I exhale Then I wake up (wake up) Then I wake up (wake up) But I still inhale, I still exhale I still inhale, I still exhale Then I wake up (wake up) Then I wake up (wake up) {Verse 2} I know you feel me right now, so turn it up loud My Momma's so proud, my Poppa's so out I don't know where the f** where he be But I can't wait till the day he see me on TV In his broke a** V, begging for some cheese And I'mma be like "Homie, f**ing please." So for this I remain, forever on my grind Cause I don't want my Momma falling behind With these bills all the time, & yes I've grown up
And along time ago, man this sh** was enough But I got to do it, for the state and for the sake Of this music … but I always knew it [Hook] Then I inhale & then I exhale & then I inhale & then I exhale Then I wake up (wake up) Then I wake up (wake up) But I still inhale, I still exhale I still inhale, I still exhale Then I wake up (wake up) Then I wake up (wake up) {Verse 3} I know they don't see it in me, just a guinea Asking give me, they saying "No platinum rapper." I'm just a cracker, like whose wacker But that don't matter cause I'mma work better This sh** be my heart and soul My blood sweat and tears & everything I know It pours out inside of me, letting me go To the place where I need to be Where I can see all my family & everyone riding with me, right next to me Living in my mind where I'm suppose to be With a pack of Newports & infinite trees [Hook] Then I inhale & then I exhale & then I inhale & then I exhale Then I wake up (wake up) Then I wake up (wake up) But I still inhale, I still exhale I still inhale, I still exhale Then I wake up (wake up) Then I wake up (wake up)
