[Intro — GLDNEYE]
It had me shook
Drinking Guinness with Prince, Bowie, and the crown prince Dennis. Then some lady named Selena came and sang
Kickin it with Marcus and Malcolm
’Til the day came. (yawns)

[Verse 1]
I don’t wonder why
I just wake up and I wipe the crust from my eye
She just wake up, hope to get the kid to school on time
Toothpaste on the side
Another cup of coffee and today gon be alright
He wake up with her, she livid, cause he live a lie
He been there every night saying he gon leave his wife
She wake up to my album Wake Up on repeat
And my skeet on the sheets, that ain’t for you to repeat
He wake up on the streets of the city where he sleeps
Missing teeth, Polo shirt
Sleeping bag, ain’t got no rags
The priest still wake up with his sins on his mind
He running from it, hoping he ain’t running out of time
The doctor wake up thinking bout the patient last week
It tore him down. He still see his tears on her gown
I gotta ask now while you fresh off a dream
And you probably still yawning
[Chorus]
What wake you up in the morning?
Is it coffee? Money? Sweet words from your honey?
What wake you up in the morning?
Alarm clock? Respect? The allure of a check?
What wake you up in the morning?
Ain’t no sense in even answering
Cause today you’re up, tomorrow you’re down
Just be glad that your ass still around

[Verse 2]
I don’t wonder why
I just wake up and I wipe the crust from my eye
He just wake up and clock in, don’t know how he’ll get by
She wake up high, drunk
Still thinking bout the party last night
Last month, the cop couldn’t sleep all night
Drunk, still wishing he ain’t search that trunk
The judge woke up wishing he ain’t take that bribe
The money ain’t enough, it ain’t worth that life
Now some are lucky just to wake up to some head
Some wake up with no money to spend
And some wake up with some bread and a smirk
Some wake up with a leg that don’t work
One hemisphere asleep, the other is awake
But when we all awaken that’ll be the fuckin day
I gotta ask now while you fresh off a dream
And you probably still yawning
[Chorus]
What wake you up in the morning?
Is it coffee? Money? Sweet words from your honey?
What wake you up in the morning?
Alarm clock? Respect? The allure of a check?
What wake you up in the morning?
Ain’t no sense in even answering
Cause today you’re up, tomorrow you’re down
Just be glad that your ass still around

[Verse 3 — Bun B]
My n***a, you know that life is what you make it
Whatever it gives you
You give it back or you can take it
Shake it off your shoulders, take a sip of Folger’s
Try to remember just what the big homies told ya
We all human, man, we bleed the same blood
No matter what you claim or your certain neighborhood
We all got people that we loving and looking out for
Fuck with syrup and chronic, or soda and some outdo’
See, we all tryna fuck, stack a couple bucks
And dodging player haters ‘til you shit up out of luck
And you just wanna make a good move, not a bad one
Live your life, and be happy and glad that you had one

You know what I’m saying?
We just tryna live life, man
Now show ‘em what you talkin’ bout, Tony
