"Wake Up" lyrics - LEDISI

[Intro:]
There is so much we complain about
Today, tomorrow, it's not promised
We should be grateful
It's time to wake up

So much you wanna get done, uh, oh
Here comes another setback, oh
One thing after another, oh
Then you're getting in your own way, oh
Crying, complaining, won't make it better
You just got to get out your head
You gotta get up and don't look back
It's time to wake up

[Chorus:]
Stand up, wear your crown (stay up)
Whatever goes can't come back around (yeah, wake up)
Look up, don't look down
Stay up high, they gotta see you now
Wake up

Why you standing 'round, whatcha waiting for?
You're the key
You choose to do it your way, making your own fate
And don't you blame the world, oh no
And if you never give it a go, I know 'cause
That person used to be me
Until I finally opened my eyes
It's time to wake up

[Chorus:]
Stand up, wear your crown (wear your crown)
Whatever goes can't come back around (can't come around here no more)
Look up, don't look down (oh yeah)
Stay up high, they gotta see you now
Wake up

[Verse 3: Sa-Roc]
They say the head wearing the crown is the heaviest yet
But I ain't never [?] my metals or bezeled baguette
I was the last born Saiyan to an empire, regret
Came with a armored plate of steel and tears outlined on the crest
Grew up in a place with dope boys and [?]
War and peace fighting for prime time control of this set
So get a sense, why's the luxury gone to the lucky as it get
And the odds were never in our favor so we were stuck with the debt
But afford to come a long way from dark days and lost hope
They told me all it takes is one little spark and we all toke
So I stay looking for the light, keep them watching behind [?]
Till my ambition catching fire like a well-aimed [? ?] everywhere and come with a little skin in the game
My scar tissue will roll map through the harsh terrain
But I never got the lesson [?] calls refrain
Made the old me no match for the warrior that I became, right

[Chorus:]
Stand up, wear your crown (you got to stand up, yeah)
Whatever goes can't come back around (can't come back here no more)
Look up, don't look down (don't you look down, no)
Stay up high, they gotta see you now (stay up)
Wake up

[Outro:]
Remember who you are
You're a king
You're a queen
Never compromise
Wake up
