Mouthpiece (The Lyrical Legend - Wake Up
It's going down It's going down
wake up wake up (this how it is) wake up (momma)
Get up Get up Get up get up daddy
wake up wake up wake up wake up brother
Get up Get up Get up get up sister
mouthpiece wake up wake up wake up wake up
(here to let you know) Get up Get up get up (the whole world) wake up wake up this goes for everybody (It's last call) including me.
One nine seven three my momma gave birth to a soldier
3 all together one younger one older.
Raised up in the church hoping the streets didn't mold ya
didn't realize as a kid that this world could get any colder.
Moved from house to house from my mom and pops to my grandmas
Helen Humphrey courted Nicholas Reed we called him grandpa.
Everything I could ever wish for up in my childhood
minus my father having anything to say that was good.
Took all that negativity turned it all around
thankful for being strong a'int no telling where I'd be right now.
My momma I know she love me Kinda wish we was closer
cause them petty misunderstandings hindered me from trying to show her
I appreciate the fact that you carried me as a seed
reflecting on my past and all of your motherly deeds
Got now way to repay you just hope God will let me live to see
the day i get some cheese provide all that my fam will ever need.
Chorus:
wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
Get up Get up Get up get up
It's a family affair, gotta keep em close
no matter what problems we share
Life is love love is life.
I often think about what if my pops really got to know us
football games graduations never showed up.
Guess he didn't know at that time what he's missing out on
history in the making bringing them 3 diplomas home.
Talked down on us never understood why
simple method applied called reverse psych
I couldn't quite figure it out but I know it was for good reasons
thought you were cool in the summer but you're cool all four seasons.
Whether we holler once a week, once a month It's all love
as long as we both let our fingers do the walking and stay in touch
Mane, Holler at yo folks too much time you missing out on.
even though you're the type don't really like talking on telephones.
Always been that way guess I'm expecting a change
people just who they are its always been that way
Ain't nothing personal bout it we the same but all different
and my talent of expressions with lyrics was GOD given.
Chorus:
wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
Get up, Get up, Get up, get up, get up
wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
Get up Get up Get up get up get up
wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
Get up Get up Get up get up get up
wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
Get up Get up Get up get up get up.
Never once did I imagine we'd be this close
3 brothers fighting like cats and dogs behind closed doors.
it could be bout something simple as a piece of buttered toast
or little nigga didn't I tell you not to wear my coat. (told you)
Yeah, Its funny now that we look back reminisce and laugh
always good to joke about the things we did in the past
shooting dice with Dante and his nickel slick ways
didn't care how he came up hell he was trying to get paid. (GOTTA WATCH HIM)
Toine was mean as a bull no bull as a kid
put a couple lumps on me but it toughened up my skin.
I was outspoken straight forward had a big mouth
had something on my mind man it was coming out.
But we pulled it together momma say we all we got
I thank the Lord for my 2 brothers cause so many do not
Cherish the lives of they folks but have regrets when they gone
shedding tears over thoughts of where did we go wrong so just.
Chorus:
wake up wake up wake up wake up (Just)
Get up, Get up, Get up, get up (you gotta just)
wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
Get up Get up Get up get up get up
wake up wake up wake up (you gotta just)
Get up Get up Get up get up get up
wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up
Get up Get up Get up get up get up.
