Wake Up

[Verse 1] All my friends had kids when they had fake IDs Got jobs they don't want for money they do need Drive cars they don't like, but pay them high gas fees They still eat fast food, but damn it they hungry What I'm saying "they" for, I woke up in a '06 honda Tell Future quit playin' bro, yeah the present is a gift But my mortgage got a lift, self esteem took a shot I came back triple strength, never learned how to quit I got angels Pillow talk with a twist, that's my label Ghost writers, find my pens you're in danger Could've wrote a book in Revelations Born a lil' late, now it's poetry for strangers Oh yeah Generation X, all dreams no patience But I wouldn't change it, Hell, I'm going places Kill the victim playing, system blaming, and get it I know too many with potential that missed it [Verse 2] Low standards, happy life, that's the trick ain't it Tried that, got bored, yo, I'm gear changing That's why, I hated school, it was fear based Had a voice, you busy trying keep me in place Stop that, I'm the future of your country Do you want that, feelin' oppressed 'til I see pressure And we bust that, do what you expect me to do See your building, take your rules, bust a nut, bust a move Who are you?
