Wake Up

[Intro: Lil Tin] In today's news, hip hop recording artist Kasland said to hang up the mic After the release of his debut album, Devil's Delight Sources say that he will be checking himself into a mental Institution to help rid him of his, quote unquote, demons It is unsure as to if Kasland will be returning After this album. Will he ever be sane? Who knows [Kasland] I feel like... like everybody hates me I lost everyone, and everything I've ever cared about It seems like I'm stuck in the shadows And I don't know how to get out And I don't even know what I'm doing with this shit anymore [Verse 1] Step back a minute Imma kill it, real shit Let the rhythm flow don't conceal it, feel it Still that same rapper that nobody wants to deal with Never passed the torch down in my label man it's still lit Steal it? No one will ever get a chance to I tried to go on tour, but I just kept on getting canceled Would I ever sign a major deal? Hmm... depends who Not too many people like the crazy shit fans do Drawing my machete for the first time in years This shit is getting heavy and it hurts lighter ears People can't take in the pain and that's the worst side of peers And I'm shanking all you bitches at the first sight of tears Man up! Do you even know the shit I've been through A lonely life and broken heart and no one to attend to The comfort that I needed what the hell did I get into The shits I used to give had me running to the men's room [Hook] Time to wake up, don't sleep on me now Don't be sleeping on me now, don't be sleeping on me now Got to get back to work, got to try to advance I said to wake up, don't sleep on me now Don't be sleeping on me now, don't be sleeping on me now Got to get back on the saddle this may be my last chance [Verse 2] People hear about me say they want to know my story uh Listen to my music hear a tale about a warrior There's been a lot of blood and it's about to get gorier Stronger than before and back to fucking with Victoria Did you miss me? Well neither did I When I said that I could be a fucking leader I lied Cause I could blow at any second I have a fever inside And I do the shit I do because I'm eager to die Oh wait I'm sorry I forgot you don't like that What would make someone like me think to write that Came close a few times, but my demons seem to fight back Can't get away and they won't let me wave the white flag So here I am once again, locked up what's it been A couple years of hustling and no one makes a fuss of it My heart is gone and mind is lost, my soul is what I must defend And see to it that in the end the devil in me doesn't win [Hook] [Verse 3] 2k11 did an EP thought I ripped it Didn't blow up, but the sales were terrific 2k12 man I said it would be different Then all I did was mess around and lose my best friend 2k13 I'm mentally intact Now I bust my fucking ass to put my name on the map 2k14 I'm telling y'all that Y'all prepare yourselves for the wrath, real rap Think that this is what you're messing with? nah, hear the rest of it First time I did a thing without second guessing it Pouring out my heart, telling stories, and confessing shit Going through this hell has turned my ass into a pessimist Lighten up Kas, things will get better Just pop another pill if you feel under the weather Your friends will forgive you, if they don't, let them go After all you got me, your best friend, let them know [Hook]
