Thomas Austin - Awaken Lyrics

I mean brudda like
What would you say to the people that like didn't believe in you
The ones that were doubting
The ones you told the vision to and they still ain't see the vision
What would you say to them now?

You know I never really thought about that until now
But uh
I don't know
I think this a good time to
Good time to speak about that

You know I never been the one to hold the grudges but
It's a lot that was said you know
It's a lot that was said

And I remember every word they chose down to the letter
The vernacular
The tone they spoke
It was all just to set up
Backhand complements
Never lacked in confidence
I'd rather remain annoymous
But my words way too prominent
I gotta speak up
Illuminate the room each time my words come out the speaker
Been here the whole time but they like hey it's nice to meet you
Cause you slept
Now you see it all in depth
I stay giving out free game
But they gone treat me like a threat
As they should though
You can't scroll your app without seeing my face
And when I show you the team
You'll be like man it's no way
I be like
Self-efficient
Optimistic
Keys to winning uh
They just find excuses
Asking "What's the mean to ending?"
None

Seems like I'm the only one that's giving
I'm demanding sum
That's just the price I pay
With these heights I chase my feet might hit the sun
Spread the evil you get the mic
You spread the gospel you get the gun
If you weren't so quick to shoot back hate responses you'd probably get the pun
Please do not compare your favorite rapper
It's not a one on one
It's so crowded at the bottom
You would've thought you missed the fun
Mindset, I rearranged
Friends quickly started fading
Same time I found myself
Man this peace is underrated

Man this peace is underrated
Grew up rural south
Community was
Church congregation
Need the full amount
Negotiating like it's reparations
Grandma picking peas
That's where I learned the art of preparation
They wasn't picking me
The thought of that alone just make me wanna go and
I put my head down
Went back to work like I was planting seeds
Impossible to oversee
That ship sailed and now I'm making sales overseas
Awaken, don't you oversleep
Or go ghosting me
