Awake lyrics

[Hook:]
I finally see the beauty of everything
And my imagination gives me wings here
With every breath that I take, that's when they flap
Yeah, I feel it I'm awake now
I feel it I'm awake, how much longer will it take
Now, now (now, now, now)

[Young Gliss]
I was raised by a single mother, always had my back though
Pops was around but he never could connect so
I was on my own, looking for that third option
That was always my thoughts while we're hot boxing
Just me and my n*ggas reminiscing about the old times
Like how the hood stick together through hard times
How the hood could take you as a body here
From walking such a thing line while we're here
Living life so close to death
Could leave you emotionless until there's nothing left
If you let it, that sh*t will bring you under
But you can use it just to make you stronger
'Cause struggle is what's going to feed your hunger
[And no matter?] how it shows
When you come from the bottom, they think you can't grow
Sometimes I close my eyes and just let it go
'Cause we're dealing with feelings that they'll never know
[Hook:]

[Verse 2: Shane Chris]
I grew up, doing a lot of stuff, marijuana not enough
I had it good, it sucks if you had it rough
Can you find her hard to love, Our special place is over stars above
With pearly gates, a feast awaits that's where I'll meet my love
You know those stories that everyone thinks are made up, they're real
Straight up, and I never gave in or gave up
If you got something to say you might as well speak up
Speed up, past the speed of life
Nothing can keep up, I reach up, and grab the mic ripping the beats up
That's something lite, you know music is my life
I don't abuse you like a narcotic, I do this 'cause it's right
And everyone knows that I'm white, but I don't give a f*ck
They treat me like their brother, and say man grab a cup
It's alright

[Hook:]
