Luke Wiley - Wake Up Lyrics

Everybody has one
One moment
One opportunity
Nah for real
Nah but for real like
What's that one thing you love
That you wouldn't necessarily give your life for
But live your life for
You'd cry for
Or if you a real nigga
You'd get down and fight for
What do you believe that your soul's designed for
Stay with me
There's plenty of time listen to rap about titties
And ass and cash
I get it
But real niggas evolve
It only takes a minute to think
I'm tryna wash my hands of the old me
I think I need a different sink
I bled what I loved
And pissed on the game
No wonder when I get the party started it's pink
See what I love is taking my life
And writing down the vision
Taking all my trauma
And making a decision to share how I'm living
Not for the recognition but to recognize
When I testify, I'm the best alive
And everybody got a reason they were kept alive, we just
Live for everybody else then get in line
Like that one thing we love, isn't real, there isn't time
But I'm done, imma let it shine like
I wanna wake up
And give 16 hours like it's still a dream
Truly it's not what I want, it's what I need
I give pieces of my soul to everything
Except for me, me, me, me
I've been
Waiting
My whole life
For the right time
I've been silent
Patient
But I know now
That I won't find
A giant
Sign to start
Life with a divided heart
Okay
And the only way to heal
Is to give my dream wheels
Let it bump
Ride it all the way
No more yes's
Second guesses
If I love it, I'll do it with every part of me
So many times that I've been broken and felt shattered
But if God is the water
My come from the mud is pottery
They tried to punch my ticket
I won the whole lottery
See every time they tried to
Send a demon in my life, it worked
And now they punk asses live in harmony
I still gotta fight em
But I studied like a law degree
And I found
God didn't make me with the fear
I chose it
Believed lies, lost focus
I realized
I'm not Moses
But I still got the power
To split seas that provoke us
I love hip hop but what it needs is emotion
I'm a donor like my heart and my kidneys in the open
And it seems all it took was put this dream in motion
And I heal every part of me that's broken
I wanna wake up
And give 16 hours like it's still a dream
Truly it's not what I want, it's what I need
I give pieces of my soul to everything
Except for me, me, me, me
I've been
Waiting
My whole life
For the right time
I've been silent
Patient
But I know now
That I won't find
A giant
Sign to start
Life with a divided heart
Okay
And the only way to heal
Is to give my dream wheels
Let it bump
Ride it all the way
