Sometimes, yeah, sometimes It gets hard trying to reach my goals Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I pretend like I'm real close Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I have to put my life on all Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I can't dream because I'm still woke
(I'm still woke)
My life is music, when I hit that mic I gain control Speaking purely through my soul when my minds in over load For so long I was cold, I mean my heart was froze Treadmilling emotions how the fuck was I suppose to grow But how the fuck were they supposed to know That my ambitions had me dissing those Creating distance from me and my goals I was so bitter, feeling like I was the runt of the litter But now I deliver like Dominos dinner Go call me whatever but can't call me quitter I'm stuck in my work They all wanna be eaten but then they dessert Wasn't here in the kitchen I ate And did dishes why they here for dessert They tryna wife the game but all they ever do is flirt I give my heart, I give my soul I swear I really put in work Now they look up to me We see from the same height on the same earth Walk the same ground through the same dirt Live the same love and the same hurt Cause I'm still woke, but my dreams keep teasing me They ask when I'm gon blow up, but that ain't up to me
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes It gets hard trying to reach my goals Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I pretend like I'm real close Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I have to put my life on all Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I can't dream because I'm still woke
Still woke screaming what the hell I gotta do Where the hell I gotta take it just to get it through to you Switching states, constant moves I even been switching crews That's the way it happened But it's not what I wanted to do Remember talking bout the top, talking how we'd make it Earthquaking when we hit the ground Till the day we make it Kept it concentrated while they watered down That's why they hated Till I make it learn to simulate it neo in the matrix Struggle rappin not by choice But where I'm at I should rejoice Rollin through the city with the crew screaming we them boys We up next like we with khaled called it feelin we the best Girls want me signing there's by gettin weight up off my chest God and I may disagree But these days I been feeling blessed Pretty crazy how this life is mine Still woke but I'll get my shine Bored, broke, you know I still grind Maybe one day I'll wake up find I was dreaming the whole time
Sometimes, yeah, sometimes It gets hard trying to reach my goals Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I pretend like I'm real close Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I have to put my life on all Sometimes, yeah, sometimes I can't dream beacause I'm still woke
