Woke Up(Explicit) - KRS-One

Y'know
There's a difference between dreamin and visualizin
Which one are you doin
Food gone up gasoline up
Full-time employment passin me up
Bills pilin up really this sucks
I need a couple bucks really I'm stuck
Here comes a truck pullin right up
It says Brinks now I'm thinkin what's up
But nah what I'm thinkin about yo duck
20 30 40 shots at the truck
I'm duckin runnin jumpin lookin for what
Some cover for this brother EVERYTHING'S NUTS
But yo I can see some others with gats
Brinks firin they firin back
Rat ta-tat-ta-ta-tat-ta-ta tat
Then I woke up
Doctor help me out what's this all about
What's this condition I gotta figure out
Am I really out that I really doubt
Give me the remedy what is the amount
Whatever you tellin me sellin me compellin me
Yo the light in me ain't out
Anyway I enter cats remember
Knowledge I sent ya forever they shout
SOUTH BRONX SOUTH BRONX
SOUTH BRONX SOUTH BRONX
Then I woke up
Well I guess I'm out on my own
With this condition it won't be long
Before for sure my little sanity's gone
I'm livin off of nuttin losin my home
Kids in the street wife alone
I want to sell this very microphone
But then my friend the light was shown
It came through my inner cellular phone
Get up and get out my spirit will shout
Commitment is what love is really about
No down and no out just up and about
I think I'm gonna take the spiritual route
Then I woke up
Then I realized I'm out of my purpose
Out of my purp' not doin my work
I went on a search inside of myself
For true health love awareness and wealth
I went to the Temple and opened my mental
I learned that I'm the cause of all that I been through
Your whole environment is really within you
Reach inside your heart and write a new menu
I'ma be the change that I want to see
Now I can see that I'm really free
Everything is really always somethin else
Tell yourself a different story 'bout self
Do you have the courage to be you
All that talk that you talk is it really you
Oh silly you oh silly me
Your tongue is killin YOU not killin me
I'm feelin free to be just what I wanna be
Easily you see cause I woke up
When I woke up my debt went down
My locks broke up my rent went down
My stocks went up my car sped up
My pockets swell up my life I found
I'm not so fed up it's time to get up
A clear mind switched my life around
Now I can see where the help is at
The health love awareness and wealth is at
Cause I woke up
Cause I woke up I woke up
When I woke up I woke up
That's when I woke up
Play that back
