lyrics

Spark it up
Inhale the sweet sedation
smoke the skunk while you getting punk'd by my punctuation
Call me Ashton Kutch, So High , Why I can't find the whip I Pushed?
Last honey want the bozack back , Picture perfect but I had to turn that Kodak Black
I flip negatives to positives, I get applause props and homages
Haters held as hostages get hauled off the hospices
Under auspices of author with the awesomness
I pour the strong bow while watching shows by Stroumboulopoulos
They roll with 20 Inch rims that spin , Im still rolling up the Rim to win
Please play again
Got played again
My enemies I pray for them, they at a lower place I aint at grace to place the blame on them
My styles unique like fashion boutiques , It aint an accident I accent my speech when Foley Snaps on the beat
Dig Sample Chop and repeat
Body the track and leave chalk in the streets
Never Talk to Police
Puff Puff Pass and Repeat
Toke the stash till the grass is deplete or you napping asleep

This is the wake up call
Put the folgers in the cup , put your make up on
only half way through the week and your paycheques gone
This like is like a story you cant make up

Wake up
This is the wake up call
put the chronic in the bowl go head and hit that bong
only half way through the week and your pay cheques gone
This life is only worth what you make it

Wake up but dont his snooze
hung over now I wont sip booze
Hit the power switch trip that fuze
stack money dummy get like Scrooge
salads with croutons from Baton Rouge

You gotta' crawl before you walk you gotta' walk before you run
run your mouth about your money they'll be chequing on your tongue
Hear me out like sea shells , the devils in the details
before you see her on a date just be shore about what she sells

My cup runeth over no refills
Im rolling up the rim while they're rolling up in sprewells
got played again
my enemies I pray for them, they at a lower place I aint at grace to place the blame on them

This is the wake up call
make up to breakup dont take that fall
half way through the date and your paycheques gone
The love aint never worth it if they fake it
Wake up this is the wake up
sticking to your vision taking no days off
only half way through the mission and your paycheques gone
but a dream is just a vision till you wake up
