I may appear to be lost And this state I'm in Could be confused with failure Could be confused with failure But the truth is I'm not I'm just biding time Till I can unveil my brilliance I can unveil my brilliance And I'm waking up, waking up To another age I'm waking up, waking up To another age Well, I'll make my mother proud Well, I'll make my mother proud You know the avant-garde You know they've always been Wrought with tribulations Trials and tribulations Just like Vincent Van Gogh You know they'll never know My true ability While there's breath still in my body And I'm waking up, waking up To another age I'm waking up, waking up To another age Well, I'll make my mother proud Well, I'll make my mother proud And I'm waking up, waking up To another age I'm waking up, waking up To another age Well, I'll make my mother proud Well, I'll make my mother proud
