Kanye West
Wake Up (Unreleased)
[Verse 1]
Tell me why it's feeling like I fight for the right to be faithful
Tell me I ain't earned this but I'm grateful
Can't stand sitting back while I'm eatin' mine
But hate won't put food on the table
Now they all attacking 'em cause I'm passionate
[??] gotta take it to the maximum
Told 'em I was up next and they laughed it up
So I didn't say shit I just backed it up
But we'll see who gets the last laugh
Going hard now no one can stop me
And where I am after all you to talk shit (huh?)
I got the right to be cocky
On and on, it goes on and on
Got the whole crowd lost in that ambience
With they hands up serving that audience
And the girls in the front like "Oh my God"
[Bridge]
See the problem with the game now (what?)
No sense of direction (yeah)
I used to fit in with that fake crowd (why?)
Cause of fear of rejection
Now I found me, found Matt in the booth
Fuck living lies, rap is the truth
And yeah the spotlight ain't what it seems
All I know is if it's all a dream then
[Chorus] x2
I don't wanna wake up, wake up
Man I don't wanna wake up, wake up
I'm never gonna wake up, wake up
(It was all a dream)
[Verse 2]
I said just be you
That doesn't sound hard does it?
Everybody say they tryna make a lane now
But that's a huge part of it
I'll be on top and none of y'all can't touch it
Say I changed up but all of my fans love it
Shout to my friends that been there since the beginning
Cause they were holding me down when all of my fans wasn't
Now we just bounce to the beat of the drums, and bet
The whole crowd's gonna be eatin' it up, and yet
Treating every show like a last one
So there's nothing better, you ain't even gotta ask
Back to back hits, I said we gon get it
Back to back hits, and still I ain't finished
Back to that studio, back to that mic
Not bad coming from nothing now, is it?
[Bridge]

And yeah the spotlight ain't what it seems
All I know is if it's all a dream then
[Chorus] x2
I don't wanna wake up, wake up
Man I don't wanna wake up, wake up
I'm never gonna wake up, wake up
(It was all a dream)
