Phresh Kyd - Woke Lyrics

I gotta get it (gotta get it), I gotta grind (gotta grind)
I gotta hustle (gotta hustle), I gotta shine (gotta shine)
I woke up like it's gutta time, open up them eyes (open up them eyes)
I woke up like it's on my mind, time to get what's mine (time to get what's mine)
I gotta get it (I gotta get it), I gotta grind (I gotta grind)
I gotta hustle (I gotta hustle), I gotta shine (I gotta shine)
I woke up like it's gutta time, open up them eyes (open up them eyes)
I woke up like it's on my mind, time to get what's mine
Hey

Woke up feeling like Master P
God got me with the hook up
Eyes been glued to the ground and my feet
Now it's about time to look up
For my rise, I got the recipe
Young negus finna cook up
Bars for days like I took that plea
And a negus getting booked up
Uhh
But wait a minute, they don't wanna see a young negus being different
They don't wanna see a young negus get the kingship
They don't want him knowing his true lineage
Tryna say my history started out in bondage
Need to put a bandage on that wound
It was known I was king when I came out of the womb
Transcend to an entity when I enter a tomb
Don't bring me to a premature doom
Already want to kill my image on the tube
Heh, already know just to get half of yours then a negus gotta work times two
You can catch me cruise
Just going 'bout my way
Cup of ice cubes man today's a good day
But let the police catch up to me and it could be a tragedy in my play
Black lives matter, yeah you know where I stand
If all lives matter, why was more going for the Muslim ban
They ain't for all lives, just against our lives, and yours too if your color ain't white, that's right
Heh, it's pretty quiet right now
Am I on point, or should I sharpen it down
This white America not for me, don't you follow
He may be president but I address him as Donald

I gotta get it (gotta get it), I gotta grind (gotta grind)
I gotta hustle (gotta hustle), I gotta shine (gotta shine)
I woke up like it's gutta time, open up them eyes (open up them eyes)
I woke up like it's on my mind, time to get what's mine (time to get what's mine)
I gotta get it (I gotta get it), I gotta grind (I gotta grind)
I gotta hustle (I gotta hustle), I gotta shine (I gotta shine)
I woke up like it's gutta time, open up them eyes (open up them eyes)
I woke up like it's on my mind, time to get what's mine
Hey

Probably won't be the favorite of the tape but I know somebody out there can relate
Rain on my parade, but I see right through whatever precipitates
Blessed by the high power so it's a must I reciprocate
Poe man's dreams so when it's in fruition I appreciate
When it's time to spread my wealth to who else, I won't hesitate
I just wanna awaken the light in every being, help 'em levitate
Too much dead in the world, it's time to resuscitate
This that shit to play when you tryna go and meditate
But these days, they don't want that
Apparently, if you're complex, you can't rap
Apparently, this balance is so out of wack, we really need an escape from this trap Hear me out
And miss me with all that "Phresh, you hatin"
Niggas sellin' out for just radio playin'
I'ma sell out for the real that I'm sayin'
And not a façade I'm portrayin'
Whatchu bout?
F*ck a paper cut, man, my money clean
F*ck being signed if I ain't being me
Let those eyes be on me like a red beam
Bitch, I'm bulletproof if you tryna CMG me
So know yourself, know your worth
If you hearin' this, you right on time for what you deserve
Give you more life with each and every verse
'Cause the soul ain't in the money, it is all up in these words

I gotta get it (gotta get it), I gotta grind (gotta grind)
I gotta hustle (gotta hustle), I gotta shine (gotta shine)
I woke up like it's gutta time, open up them eyes (open up them eyes)
I woke up like it's on my mind, time to get what's mine (time to get what's mine)
I gotta get it (I gotta get it), I gotta grind (I gotta grind)
I gotta hustle (I gotta hustle), I gotta shine (I gotta shine)
I woke up like it's gutta time, open up them eyes (open up them eyes)
I woke up like it's on my mind, time to get what's mine
Hey
