[Intro]
Train our leaders, choose our targets
And I want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

[Verse: 1]
Always stayed woke, I ain't need to hit the snooze
Henny taking shots like Henny sippin' booze
Word to Eric Bishop cause I'm breaking all the rules
I got a right to gain when there's nothing left to lose
A nation that's divided, what's the reminder?
Life is a bitch, but I really can't blame her
Remember growing up, always thinking I was stuck
They would look at me and be like "He's a n***a", word to Kramer
But oh, no need to remind me
And I won't let that bullshit define me
And I promise that when it's all over you'll find me
At the top with a vision that even the blind see
And you can time me, cause I don't wanna work at a 9 to 5
Because this dead end job don't make me feel alive
And I did it, so I'm living the proof
That all you gotta do is really start living your truth (ahh)

[Chorus]
Put us in a box but we will not fit
Never give up, no, we never quit
Time to stand up no we will not sit, 'cause
We are, we are awake
Reach that goal, go reach that peak
Mean what we say, so talk's not cheap
Dream all day, no we will not sleep 'cause
We are, we are awake
[Verse: 2]
Buying things you don't need, with money you don't have, to impress people you don't even like (like)
When the going gets tough, well the tough get going, so you gotta be ready to fight (fight)
Not finished or done no tree ways
About it, and I'm sorry for the cliches
But you gotta be grateful for each day
'Cause the tides might shift like beach waves (yeah)
And that's when you gotta become a WaveRunner
And shatter glass ceilings they want you to stay under
And do something to make your momma proud
Do what you want not what they allowed
No matter what your goal, you gotta give a try
Even if they try to tell you that it's too high
Turn around and hit em with a "Why?"
Cause when you're dead honest, you can never live a lie (for real)

[Chorus]
Put us in a box but we will not fit
Never give up, no, we never quit
Time to stand up no we will not sit, 'cause
We are, we are awake
Reach that goal, go reach that peak
Mean what we say, so talk's not cheap
Dream all day, no we will not sleep 'cause
We are, we are awake
[Bridge]
We are, we are awake

[Chorus]
Put us in a box but we will not fit
Never give up, no, we never quit
Time to stand up no we will not sit, 'cause
We are, we are awake
Reach that goal, go reach that peak
Mean what we say, so talk's not cheap
Dream all day, no we will not sleep 'cause
We are, we are awake
