Wake up wake up Mr. West wake up culture
Wake up everybody think they so woke but they
Following the rules of what woke supposed to be
Hip-hop ain’t never been about following rules
Yeah
I ain’t gon give you another lullaby
Ain’t no butterflies this is do or die
Don’t go to sleep cause homie this a brutal fight
They won’t defeat prayers shootin’ through the sky
I ain’t gon give you another lullaby
So you can shut an eye and slumber through the night
I’m goin deep ain’t no tellin’ what you gon find
Just follow me and I’ma point you to the Christ
You on that phone scrollin’ so zoned in
Got more likes on that dope photo [okay
Blow smoke with old homies
Don’t know you’ve grown dull slowly [dang
Pour codeine no focus the world burns
And you won’t notice [nope
Cause you done gave God the cold shoulder
Took the blue pill and just rolled over
I get it’s hard to take [take
When you just tryna live with all this pain
That sin that you been in gets hard to break and deal with
When you in this fallen state [man
These kids they begin to fall away listening to
Eminem and Dr. Dre [yeah
So with every single song I make [make
I’ll attempt to defib their hearts awake [woo
I won’t give in will not debate
And I won’t pretend it’s not the way [way
I won’t commend no Pac or Jay or Beyonce
Lil Nas or Drake
Cause it’s not gon change til we on our face
So don’t resist you gotta pray [pray
You’ve got to submit and not escape
And then watch your afflictions start to fade [fade]
I ain’t gon give you another lullaby
Ain’t no butterflies this is do or die
Don’t go to sleep cause homie this a brutal fight
They won’t defeat prayers shootin’ through the sky
I ain’t gon give you another lullaby
So you can shut an eye and slumber through the night
I’m goin deep ain’t no tellin’ what you gon find
Just follow me and I’ma point you to the Christ
Told me that I’m overzealous [what
In so deep and I don’t regret it
And these lonely nights won’t envelop
Cause He’ll hold me through the coldest weather
I’ve seen things get so prophetic [yeah
And these stories I don’t embellish nope
He told me “Won’t go to hell” cause
He’ll make sure my soul develops
Yeah you might be lost and I won’t hate
But I can’t act like y’all okay
And give you a lullaby no way
Man that’s what I call a cold-take dawg
Back when I crashed my ’08 Honda told God I’ma go ape
And I ain’t go back to my old ways
Now they play my tracks on rotate [woo
So I pray they know the King as I go to sing [bow
My foes know they won’t defeat
I won’t serenade just to hold the peace
But the radio will make ’em go to sleep
So they smokin’ weed [yeah] toast a drink [man
Fade away but it’s so discrete [dang
Gain the world for a broken dream
But my God dawg He hold the keys [yeah]
Said that you gone meet me on the other side
Well I don’t know if this will be what you had in mind
Cause I prefer the Heavens I’ma run to life
Give ’em the love of Christ and not a lullaby
I ain’t gon give you another lullaby
Ain’t no butterflies this is do or die
Don’t go to sleep cause homie this a brutal fight
They won’t defeat prayers shootin’ through the sky
I ain’t gon give you another lullaby
So you can shut an eye and slumber through the night
I’m goin deep ain’t no tellin’ what you gon find
Just follow me and I’ma point you to the Christ
I need people to just
I don’t even need anything I am praying
That people can see that Jesus won the victory
God is showing off
