"Wake Up" lyrics
(feat. Kirsta Savage)
I can't lose this time
I can't lose this time
I've lost friends to cocaine, I've lost friends to meth
I've lost friends to the streets and I've lost friends to death
And I don't wanna turn my back on 'em and it breaks my heart
Cause I don't wanna see 'em suffer but where do I start?
See I'm an addict myself and I can't be around that shit
Cause I'll slip quicker than ice from that cocaine drip
It destroyed my life once and I won't do it again
I just wanna see my friends do better, so when will it end?
And I'm doin' all that I can but I'm not the second to Christ
I'm not a miracle worker and I can't save every life
But I just hope that they hear this and know that I care
Cause I would write a million songs if it meant givin' them air
So look up to the skies when your life is in shambles
Cause every time you use it's like the ultimate gamble
And I don't wanna see your name on the frontpage news
See the tears from your momma, there was nothing she could do
So please homie just wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna lose nobody else
So please homie just wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna lose nobody else
What's the definition of it
When I lose another brother to the epidemic of it
Can we make it go away?
How can I tell you to breath
When you can't even see what it's doin' to the people you love?
How can I be doin' fine when I know you're out your mind
And you ain't the same person you was?
I just member what it is
Back when I was in the biz makin' money so that I could stay up
Now I got that legal hustle
You were supposed to be ride or die
Tried to teach you the ins and outs
Tried to make you my righthand guy
You just wanted to get more high
I just wanted to save your life
Now I sit and blame myself and that even fuckin' right
Why do I got to spend my time
Tryin' to get you to realize
You ain't the only one to go though it
You ain't the only one that gon' die
We gon' die together only difference is I'll stay alive
And I don't wanna live with that so please don't make me say goodbye
So please homie just wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna lose nobody else
So please homie just wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna lose nobody else
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna lose nobody else
I can't lose this time
I don't wanna lose nobody else
I can't lose this time
I can't lose this time
I can't lose this time
I've lost friends to cocaine, I've lost friends to meth
I've lost friends to the streets and I've lost friends to death
And I don't wanna turn my back on 'em and it breaks my heart
Cause I don't wanna see 'em suffer but where do I start?
See I'm an addict myself and I can't be around that shit
Cause I'll slip quicker than ice from that cocaine drip
It destroyed my life once and I won't do it again
I just wanna see my friends do better, so when will it end?
And I'm doin' all that I can but I'm not the second to Christ
I'm not a miracle worker and I can't save every life
But I just hope that they hear this and know that I care
Cause I would write a million songs if it meant givin' them air
So look up to the skies when your life is in shambles
Cause every time you use it's like the ultimate gamble
And I don't wanna see your name on the frontpage news
See the tears from your momma, there was nothing she could do
So please homie just wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna lose nobody else
So please homie just wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna lose nobody else

I don't wanna lose nobody else
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I don't wanna lose nobody else
I can't lose this time
I don't wanna lose nobody else
I can't lose this time
I can't lose this time
