Balance - wake up & smell the roses Lyrics

Wake up and smell the roses
I was praying I don't crash
I don't know no one who know this
Cause they done turned us for the bad
Pulled my problems even closer
Been dapping up with a mask
This that side that they won't go to
And I can't ever go back

I fall victim to my past
Reminiscing what we had
I was living in the dark
I done found my spark, I done found my bag
I done found my own lil lane, they was in my car now we different lanes
One thing Balance not a bitch, they can go and switch, link up with the lames

I been out my brain
Put it on the news, put it on the screen
I been keeping silent, finally gon' complain
Ain't been acting real, friends or aquiants
I am not a saint, but I pull my weight
I've been on the wait, for the fortune, fame
I live in the O, the town gon' catch the wave

Pop the cham' for the pain, we pour up
These heavy lil chains, we go up
They screaming my name, it's so up
They rock with the gang gang, go nuts
They count me out then but not right now
When you working harder they jacking the sound
State to state getting plays
Call the plane Teezo, we boutta Touchdown

Wake up and smell the roses
I was praying I don't crash
I don't know no one who know this
Cause they done turned us for the bad
Pulled my problems even closer
Been dapping up with a mask
This that side that they won't go to
And I can't ever go back

All my life been on go
I can never look back
Uh
Wake up, that smell in the past

All my brothers f*cking righteous
I can't trip about no slight bitch
Since 3003, been up to the morning, I get evil in the night, shit
For you it's hobby, this my life shit
Make it, make your momma cry shit
When you get on stage, don't go blind
If I jump, they gon jump with

Hop on the stage, we encourage the rage
When I hop off that bitch ima pick me a bae
I get love in my city, but most still be fake
We some tigers and apes, bring my gang out the cage
Wake up and smell the roses
It ain't luck, I'll be chosen
Truth gon come to light, real gon kill the fake
Do it on my own, I won't be replaced

Is it deep when you roll in?
They know Balance finna go in, never watch for others this my moment
I'm calculated, never phone-in, baby
Do they love me or not? Shit it's a maybe
One thing I know it'll come I'll be waiting
I ball past the drama, go all in
Want a whip hug the floor just to fall in

Wake up and smell the roses
I was praying I don't crash
I don't know no one who know this
Cause they done turned us for the bad
Pulled my problems even closer
Been dapping up with a mask
This that side that they won't go to
And I can't ever go back

All my life been on go
I can never look back
Uh
Wake up, that smell in the past (yeah)

Roses
Roses
Roses
Roses
Roses
Roses
Roses

The roses
It was something I really had to like personally wake up and smell
And once I, and once I smelt them
I really start to realize all of the things
That was driving me crazy, getting me really frustrated
I started like, opening my eyes to
Seeing the real, the real problems
In misery
There's euphoria
