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
