Awake - Hendersin

Train our leaders, choose our targets

And I want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

Always stayed woke, I ain’t need to hit the snooze

Henny taking shots like Henny sippin' booze

Word to Eric Bishop cause I’m breaking all the rules

I got a right to gain when there’s nothing left to lose

A nation that’s divided, what’s the reminder?

Life is a bitch, but I really can’t blame her

Remember growing up, always thinking I was stuck

They would look at me and be like «He's a nigga», word to Kramer

But oh, no need to remind me

And I won’t let that bullshit define me

And I promise that when it’s all over you’ll find me

At the top with a vision that even the blind see

And you can time me, cause I don’t wanna work at a 9 to 5

Because this dead end job don’t make me feel alive

And I did it, so I’m living the proof

That all you gotta do is really start living your truth (ahh)

Put us in a box but we will not fit

Never give up, no, we never quit

Time to stand up no we will not sit, 'cause

We are, we are awake

Reach that goal, go reach that peak

Mean what we say, so talk’s not cheap

Dream all day, no we will not sleep 'cause

We are, we are awake

Buying things you don’t need, with money you don’t have, to impress people you

don’t even like (like)

When the going gets tough, well the tough get going, so you gotta be ready to

fight (fight)

Not finished or done no tree ways

About it, and I’m sorry for the cliches

But you gotta be grateful for each day

'Cause the tides might shift like beach waves (yeah)

And that’s when you gotta become a WaveRunner

And shatter glass ceilings they want you to stay under

And do something to make your momma proud

Do what you want not what they allowed

No matter what your goal, you gotta give a try

Even if they try to tell you that it’s too high

Turn around and hit em with a «Why?»

Cause when you’re dead honest, you can never live a lie (for real)

Put us in a box but we will not fit

Never give up, no, we never quit

Time to stand up no we will not sit, 'cause

We are, we are awake

Reach that goal, go reach that peak

Mean what we say, so talk’s not cheap

Dream all day, no we will not sleep 'cause

We are, we are awake

We are, we are awake

Put us in a box but we will not fit

Never give up, no, we never quit

Time to stand up no we will not sit, 'cause

We are, we are awake

Reach that goal, go reach that peak

Mean what we say, so talk’s not cheap

Dream all day, no we will not sleep 'cause

We are, we are awake
