Woke Up lyrics

Artist  : Krs One 
Song : Woke Up



 Send "Woke Up" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Y'know

There's a difference between dreamin' and
visualizin'

Which one are you doin'?



Food gone up, gasoline up

Full time employment passin' me up

Bills pilin' up, really this sucks

I need a couple bucks, really I'm stuck



Here comes a truck, pullin' right up

It says brinks, now I'm thinkin' what's up

But nah, what I'm thinkin' about, yo duck

20, 30, 40 shots at the truck



I'm duckin', runnin', jumpin', lookin' for
what?

Some cover for this brother, every thing's
nuts

But yo, I can see some others with gats

Brinks firin', they firin' back



Rat, ta tat ta ta tat ta ta tat

Then I woke up



Doctor help me out, what's this all about?

What's this condition I gotta figure out

Am I really out? That I really doubt

Give me the remedy, what is the amount?



Whatever you tellin' me, sellin' me, compellin'
me

Yo the light in me ain't out

Anyway I enter, cats remember

Knowledge I sent ya forever they shout



South Bronx, South Bronx

South Bronx, South Bronx

Then I woke up



Well I guess I'm out on my own

With this condition it won't be long

Before for sure my little sanity's gone

I'm livin' off nuttin', losin' my home



Kids in the street, wife alone

I want to sell this very microphone

But then my friend the light was shown

It came through my inner cellular phone



Get up and get out my spirit will shout

Commitment is what love is really about

No down and no out, just up and about

I think I'm gonna take the spiritual route

Then I woke up



Then I realized I'm out of my purpose

Out of my purp', not doin' my work

I went on a search, inside of myself

For true health, love awareness and wealth



I went to the temple and opened my mental

I learned that I'm the cause of all that I been
through

Your whole environment is really within you

Reach inside your heart and write a new menu



I'ma be the change that I wanna see

Now I can see that I'm really free

Everything is really always somethin' else

Tell yourself a different story 'bout self



Do you have the courage to be you

All that talk, that you talk, is it really
you?

Oh silly you, oh silly me

Your tongue is killin' you, not killin' me



I'm feelin' free to be just what I wanna be

Easily, you see, 'cause I woke up



When I woke up, my debt went down

My locks broke up, my rent went down

My stocks went up, my car sped up

My pockets swell up, my life I found



I'm not so fed up, it's time to get up

A clear mind switched my life around

Now I can see where the help is at

The health, love, awareness and wealth is at



'Cause I woke up

'Cause I woke up, I woke up

When I woke up, I woke up

That's when I woke up

Play that back
