Wake Up - Intellectual

[Verse 1: NF]

You make a lot of money and you live in a mansion

And pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine

But you feel like even though you got everything in the world

You got nothing

So what you do then is you start going backwards

You runnin' in a direction

And you lookin' for something that isn't real

And all you know is that you just gotta have it

What you're doin' is sleepin'

And thinking that you're awake and you're not

And the problem is that you don't know what you're after

So you put everything that you have into what you do

Hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty

But as you get older a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy

Then you look back and you start to regret things

You only get one life

And every time you lookin' at yours

You feel like everything you have is a waste!

And the problem and the reason you could never fill a hole in your life

Is because you were never awake

You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape

Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake

Wake up (Wake up), Wake up (Wake up)!

You wake up in the morning

But you don't even feel like a normal person

And you feelin' that life doesn't have a purpose

So you sit in a dark room with a lot of anger and cursing

Making ya knuckles bleed punching the wall till it screams and collapses crushin' ya hopes and dreams

But you take out all the anger and put it on paper

Saving your self from slicing your wrist with a razor

God can only judge me, you can not

Demons eating you alive till ya body drops

Fixin' up ya life cause nothin' is workin'

And you try to hide the pain and make it seem like it's nothin'

And you feel like the whole world's crushing around you

Step all over me and i'll physically pound you

Don't take my soul cause you jealous on how I live my life

My life is an empty space filled with mistakes

I'm not a role model, so don't follow my footsteps for god's sake

Cause the nightmare is over after the casket closes at ya wake, wake up
