[Intro]
I was sleeping
Deep in it
Whole world tweakin
I was just drifting
[Verse 1]
Used to hit snooze on my own life
Phone ring, hit mute, never online
Heart cold, but the pillow stayed warm though
Dreams in a shoebox, never left the wardrobe
Then the time got tight, bills came in
Mom prayed hard, I was out still sinning
Whole hood talk bags, whole hood talk licks
Whole hood talk flex, whole hood talk chicks
They like "When I get rich, I'ma take his girl"
I was thinking ’bout stocks, how to change my world
’Bout my last name, ’bout my lil sis plate
’Bout the fam in the back of that one-room place
Willi banz when I stand, that’s a grown man stance
I ain’t chasing what you chase in them club light dances
You can brag on her body, I’ma build my brand
I’m invested in the future, got it all mapped, planned
[Chorus]
I was in a deep sleep
Now I’m wide awake, I’m on ten, can’t blink
They was talking ’bout bags and chicks, that’s weak
I was talking ’bout land and peace, that’s me
Woke up Willi, I’m alive in the night (yeah)
Came in the time of need to set this right (set it right)
You can keep that talk, I’ma keep my life
I was in a deep sleep, now I’m outside
[Verse 2]
Niggas brag "I’ma hit it when the bag come"
I been thinking "I’ma flip it for my grandson"
Think ahead, real bread, real freedom
Not a rented lil’ chain just to say you "beat him"
You proud you can take what he never did guard
I’m proud I can take mom straight out that yard
Out the landlord line, out the late fee call
Out the stress in her spine, I’ma break that wall
Deep sleep had me stuck in the cycle
Scroll, roll, same show, same idols
Now I’m up, eyes red, but the mind clear
If it ain’t love or a check, it ain’t time here
I don’t covet what another man cherish
If she yours, she yours, if she leave, that’s her leverage
I just honor my name, let my word be my credit
I’m the one they gon’ call when it all get hectic
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Talk big then you vanish when the lights fade
I was quiet, now I’m standing in the hot flame
This that "pray with me" not "lay with me" lane
This that "build with me" not "steal from him" game
[normal voice]
I ain’t move like them, I ain’t built like that
You can flex on a heart, I’ma flex on a tax
You can stain your soul, I’ma clean my past
I was in a deep sleep, now I’m up at last
[Chorus]
