[Chorus]
I’m struggling to see straight
I need to wake up
I’m struggling to make it
I need to wake up
I'm not sure how you do it
Or what I’m meant to do
All I know is I fell asleep
I need to wake up (yo)
[Verse 1]
It’s like my eyes are glued close
I’m frozen for the moment
No more emotion can hold this
Anger I’m holding in
Holding it for longer isn’t making me stronger
Just like I’m boutta fucking explode or something
But drop nothing
Cause I can’t form it into any words
Just aggressive yelling trash that I hurl at little girls
Like Noah, what am I doing now?
I fucking went to town, but it’s not the end, how?
I can’t even form a normal small fucking message now?
Everything needs to have motherfucking shock valuе now?
Everything needs to be yellеd? Hell with this shit im out
Like something’s wrong with my mouth
Lyrically pissing down
Hating on everything, but this time I’m not gonna shout
Bitch no more horsing around, but even though I’m more grounded
I still won’t take no shit, you talk it and I’ll knock you out
But when I stop and slow down, that’s when the fucking panic surrounds
[Chorus]
I’m struggling to see straight
I need to wake up
I’m struggling to make it
I need to wake up
I'm not sure how you do it
Or what I’m meant to do
All I know is I fell asleep
I need to wake up
[Verse 2]
Man, I was hyped to be back but the scatterbrain trapped me
Snapping, trying to map what I’m feeling but the pathways
Crack when I’m collapsing, every thought overlapping
Like I’m half asleep rapping, twisted intentions was a bad dream
Mad at me cause I wrote tracks stacked with passion
But the craft was slashing itself, messy, no balance
I hadn’t dropped albums since 2020 happened
I’d write but never mix it, couldn’t stitch shit, I was crashing
Vision blurry, drifting early, couldn’t word it
Knew the message burning in me, but I couldn’t fucking serve it
Turning pages, wasting phrases, pacing circles
Hurts cause I was certain the return would be universal
But it wasn’t, and I hate it, disappointment in my gut
All the work and it still sounded like a first attempt, fucked
Let me say it flat, I’m aware that my last album sucked
And I understand if I get dragged
But this time I’m back, I no longer feel like I’m-
[Chorus]
I’m struggling to see straight
I need to wake up
I’m struggling to make it
I need to wake up
I'm not sure how you do it
Or what I’m meant to do
All I know is I fell asleep
I need to wake up
[Verse 3]
Man, now I’m wide awake, finally shaking the fog off
Locked on everything I lost, now I’m making the cost worth it, I’m not
Stopping for a second, every record is a step
And I’m obsessed with the correction of the mess that had me falling off
Calling out the old me, broken, unfocused
Hopeless, choking on the weight I was holding
But now the rage is controlled, it’s loaded, I chose it
Aim it with intention instead of letting it explode shit
Back in motion, I’m sharper when I breathe slow
Knees broke, still I rebuilt shit, people don’t see though
5 years silent, now violent, but aligned with
Everything I tried to write then but couldn’t find it
Now I’m climbing, finally comfortable rhyming
Timing on point, every line is a reminder that I’m now rising
I was hiding in my head, now I’m ripping the cage up
And I’m never going back to being stuck in the dust
Because I was-
[Chorus]
Struggling to see straight
I need to wake up
I’m struggling to make it
I need to wake up
I'm not sure how you do it
Or what I’m meant to do
All I know is I fell asleep
I need to wake up
