The Awakening Lyrics

I didn't know that I was gonna die when I woke up this morning

I didn't plan saying my last goodbye when I woke up this morning

I'm pretty sure my family gonna cry at the wake when they mourning

My people wanna see somebody die for the death of me darling

I heard shots ring, dropped to the ground feeling my shoulder sting

Paralyzed with shock on the block I couldn't do a thing

That's when a single tear drop fell from my left eye

My body turned cold as the winter as I began to die

I felt my soul leave me like its never coming back here

This time around I wasn't as lucky as I was last year

They got me! It's probably someone close to me who shot me

Could've been that nigga from the dice game who mocked me

Or maybe I resembled somebody but it was not me

Staring into space leaking all over the concrete

Here the ambulance in the distance, bystanders look in awe

Heard somebody gasp, Yo! that's Famo from the second floor

Damn my son!, look at what the fuck have I've become

Another hood statistic lying dead inside the slum

Somebody drunk with vengeance a bottle of redrum

Now they pour out in my memory is fucked up what they've done

I didn't know that I was gonna die when I woke up this morning

I didn't plan saying my last goodbye when I woke up this morning

I'm pretty sure my family gonna cry at the wake when they mourning

My people wanna see somebody die for the death of me darling

Now somebody gotta come identify the body

While niggas on the block, plot, retaliating for the homi

Everybody gripped up lighting candles on my bloodstain

Numb off of the Henny so they do not feel the pain

Enraged they all looking to seek revenge in the worst way

To think in two more weeks I was gonna celebrate my birthday

Change of plans that !money for my bash now for the funeral

Cause I done went from living to that's what these streets will do to you

They smile when they envy, jealous cause you can't be broken

So they just tell themselves next time I see him I'ma smoke him

Your opps be them ninjas who watch you crash and let you

Who know you when you ballin', but when you broke forget you

Crabs in the barrel rather pull you down then lift you

I should've seen it coming, now it's everybody miss you

Some of it so fake it make a brother wanna scream

Fuck! I'm late for work, thank god that shit was just a dream

I wanna thank god that I'm alive and I woke up this morning

That fact that I don't gotta say goodbye to my loved ones this morning

I got to look up at the sky and give thanks for this morning

All I ask is that I survive and make it to the next morning
