WAKE UP

I say its time to wake up, economy's in a recession
we better shape up, or it'll end in a depression
mothers leaving babies early, children thing their grown
got people flossing cars and jewels, before they own a home
hows that make sense? dont even try it cuz it doesnt
Just listen to my 2 cents, and maybe we'll recover
to the guys gettin fly, whose bread dont stack sky high
spend your cash on what you need, just to get you buy
to the thugs on the block, livin that G'd up lifesyle
Find a job in something else, if you enjoy your life out
of the pen, cuz wen you in, you have no type of rights
what type of man wants another tellin him wen to sleep at night
i know me, never slippin, dressed up freshly
bit of a short temper, snap quick if you test me
but my head's on straight, bow pointed to the horizon
got a million people with me, like the white dude from verizon
but back to the topic at hand
momma come back to your baby, he's your number one man
do the right thing, dont go the same way as brenda
thats a person, not a letter, no return to the sender
To the fam from BK, livin in the PJs
Eating off of food stamps, and shelter giveaways
Dont give up, I know you'll see some better days
Dad'll get a rais, Mom'll get paid
For the cooking and the cleaning, occupation maid
so we've spent time sleeping, time to wake up
get our life lines going straight, like a shape up
