[Chorus: RoZe]

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

It gets hard tryna reach my goals (hard tryna reach my goals)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I pretend like I'm real close (pretend like I'm real close)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I have to put my life on hold (to put my life on hold)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I can't dream because

I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Woke, I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Yeah, I'm still woke

I'm-I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Ayy, I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Yeah, I'm still woke

[Verse 1: Abstract]

My life is music; when I hit that mic, I gain control

Speakin' purely through my soul when my mind's in overload

For so long I was cold, I mean, my heart was froze

Treadmillin' emotions, how the fuck was I supposed to grow?

But how the fuck were they supposed to know that my ambitions had me dissing those creating distance from me and my goals?

I was so bitter

Feeling like I was the runt of the litter

But now I deliver like Domino's dinner

Go call me whatever, but can't call me quitter

I'm stuck in my work, they all wanna be eatin', but then they desert

Wasn't here in the kitchen, I ate and did dishes; why they here for dessert?

They tryna wife the game, but all they ever do is flirt

I give my heart, I give my soul, I swear I really put in work

Now they look up to me; we see from the same height on the same earth

Walk the same ground through the same dirt, live the same love and the same hurt

'Cause I'm still woke, but my dreams keep teasin' me

They ask when I'm gon' blow up, but that ain't up to me

[Chorus: RoZe]

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

It gets hard tryna reach my goals (hard tryna reach my goals)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I pretend like I'm real close (pretend like I'm real close)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I have to put my life on hold (to put my life on hold)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I can't dream because

I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Woke, I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Yeah, I'm still woke

I'm-I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Ayy, I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Yeah, I'm still woke

[Verse 2: Abstract]

Still woke, screaming, "What the hell I gotta do?"

Where the hell I gotta take it just to get it through to you?

Switching states, constant moves, I even been switching crews

That's the way it happened, but it's not what I wanted to do

Remember talkin' bout the top, talking how we'd make it earthquake

And when we hit the ground till the day we make it

Kept it concentrated while they watered down, that's why they hated

Till I make it, learn to simulate it, Neo in The Matrix

Struggle rappin', not by choice—for where I'm at, I should rejoice

Rollin' through the city with the crew screaming, "We 'dem boys!"

We up next like we with Khaled, called it, feelin' we the best

Girls want me signing theirs by gettin weight up off my chest

'Cause God and I may disagree, but these days I've been feeling blessed

Pretty crazy how this life is mine

Still woke but I'll get my shine

Bored, broke, you know I still grind

Maybe one day I'll wake up, find I was dreaming the whole time

[Chorus: RoZe]

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

It gets hard tryna reach my goals (hard tryna reach my goals)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I pretend like I'm real close (pretend like I'm real close)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I have to put my life on hold (to put my life on hold)

Sometimes, yeah, sometimes

I can't dream because

I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Woke, I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Yeah, I'm still woke

I'm-I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Ayy, I'm still woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke

Yeah, I'm still woke
