Awake

[Hook:] I finally see the beauty of everything And my imagination gives me wings here With every breath that I take, that's when they flap Yeah, I feel it I'm awake now I feel it I'm awake, how much longer will it take Now, now (now, now, now) [Young Gliss] I was raised by a single mother, always had my back though Pops was around but he never could connect so I was on my own, looking for that third option That was always my thoughts while we're hot boxing Just me and my niggas reminiscing about the old times Like how the hood stick together through hard times How the hood could take you as a body here From walking such a thing line while we're here Living life so close to death Could leave you emotionless until there's nothing left If you let it, that shit will bring you under But you can use it just to make you stronger Cause struggle is what's going to feed your hunger [And no matter?] how it shows When you come from the bottom, they think you can't grow Sometimes I close my eyes and just let it go Cause we're dealing with feelings that they'll never know [Hook:] [Verse 2: Shane Chris] I grew up, doing a lot of stuff, marijuana not enough I had it good, it sucks if you had it rough Can you find her hard to love, Our special place is over stars above With pearly gates, a feast awaits that's where I'll meet my love You know those stories that everyone thinks are made up, they're real Straight up, and I never gave in or gave up If you got something to say you might as well speak up Speed up, past the speed of life Nothing can keep up, I reach up, and grab the mic ripping the beats up That's something lite, you know music is my life I don't abuse you like a narcotic, I do this cause it's right And everyone knows that I'm white, but I don't give a fuck They treat me like their brother, and say man grab a cup It's alright [Hook:]
