Logic: Wake Up (feat. Lucy Rose)

Everyday I wake up

can’t get enough
No I can’t get enough
Took another rap though I never ended up in cuffs
Had a gat in my hand but I didn’t want to be that man
Look in the mirror couldn’t see that man
Pick up the pen, never stick up the men,
Only pick up the stick if I need to defend
If I did it back then might have dropped dead
Know a nigga doing life cause he’s a hot head

I
Took a ride through my city the other day
Wonder what would've happened if it all went the other way
Jump in the whip now I reminisce
On the days when I was running ‘round the Ave
Could have never imagined the way that my life would've turned out
And all of the things that I have
I ain’t talking material, talking about my material
The shit that I’m writing, the shit that I’ve been through
I went through the worst but I made it out
Like the Alpha Omega done showed me the way it could go
Yeah he laid it out
Instead of sitting on the beach
I’m reconnecting with the streets
He wasn’t paying attention
I was praying for ascension
No need to need to mention my attention to detail
Homie we will prevail, lotta motherfuckers wanna wake up everyday
Then they murder they own but they know there’s another way
Fuck all that violence and drugs in communities
This song right here is immunity
They call it the trap cause they trapping us
Take our money then they don’t give it back to us
Black man can’t even get himself a bachelor
Dropped out of school then he picked up a spatula
Cause he never had a good role model just a hood role model
Now I know that’s the old model
We breaking that cycle
I think I see the finish line
Got a vision now, don’t diminish mine
Lotta brothers in the hood doing good
And I know I see see it all the time
But they only wanna push
All the drugs, and all the crime, on channel 9
Fuck all that fallacy this shit right here for my people
People that struggle, people work hard as they can but don’t they still don’t feel equal
Trust me I know
I’ve been there before
Trust me I know
That feeling won’t never go

On a beautiful autumn day in 2011
Logic and his friends drive through the slums of College Park
In a Chevy Impala
Around the streets of Prince George’s County
Cruising through an unknown universe
Beginning a journey that would inevitably alter the course
Of not only their own but the lives of millions of people around the world
