Big K.R.I.T. - Wake Up Lyrics






(Wake up, Wake up
Wake up, Wake up)

[Verse 1]
Thank God for the day, thank God for the morning
Won't take this here for granted no good Lord I gots to get on it
With every breath I take, or move I make, I gots to keep wanting
A better life for me, and all of mine, no time for that yawning
In the bed waiting, procrastinating, I gots to be hungry
Too old for games that don't mean a thing, can't play with my homies
Just know I'm paying dues if I don't pick up for ya, whenever you phone me
Cuz being broke ain't fun and that pity party I threw is starting to get boring
Good morning

[Hook]
I know today gonna be the best day of my life, my life
(Wake up, wake up)
I know today gonna be the best day of my life
(Wake up, wake up)
Gotta keep my head out the clouds and my feet on the ground

[Verse 2]
Gotta be realistic, stop talking and listen
Cuz at the blink of an eye your life'll pass you by, good Lord you missed it now
You're wishing that you went slow, took advantage of that 2-4
Yeah you gave your all to get your back from off the wall but you can give more
Stand tall against the grain, be yourself don't do the same
As the next man cuz all paths are different, so don't jump the train
Hell, we can't complain, for this borrowed time
So don't misuse yours, cuz you can't borrow mine
Good morning

[Hook]

    and he's not one of the greats? i don't get it. They rather catchy punchlines with no real meaning, songs oily about how good the bars are. More similes and metaphors i guess. I'm never mad at that part of the artistry, but this man mixes that with depth, and real feel. Still the best in this "new era" to me. (drake, cole, kendrick, sean, etc) and produces/mixes 95% percent of his own music. I gotta give it to him . no disrespect to the others .

    Motivational

  64. M.... Y....

    This cover is art along with the music!

  65. f.... h....

    motivation right here

  66. F.... ....

    I got chills when I booked that the "wake up" is a fainter version of what plays at the end of the mixtape. Genius...

  67. T.... o....

    nate dogg was great there is no doubt about that... but krit kills the vocals, i wouldnt replace his vocals with anyones on this song/mixtape.. thats what makes him a breath of fresh air to the rap game

  68. s.... ....

    I fuck with this. Heavily

  69. M.... B....

    such a chill mixtape

  70. C.... ....

    This dude can do no wrong in my eyes.....love me some K.R.I.T!!!

  71. S.... ....

    @TheRyanMclaughlin Hey man, it's cool you can like K.R.I.T & say he is the truest to you but for me he isn't consistent with every track. If he had dope metaphors, punch lines, wordplay, stories, lyrics, & new how to use syllables/compounds better I think he would be a better lyricist. However I still like his music & support his other works, but he just ins't consistent enough for me. An you're correct he is real I chose poor words. An heaven is what you make it, not when you die.

  72. R.... W....

    @PerpetuallyHighPoet He's a legend in my mind.

  73. R.... W....

    @PacG103 That's exactly how I feel dawg.

  74. R.... W....

    @Lubran100 He's the truest to me. His music over any other really suites me personally. Helps me find mistakes and solve them, and really describes how I think. I'm so close to heaven I just need some time to grow.

  75. R.... R....

    @TheBRYANJ same here!

  76. S.... ....

    Big Krit is nice and this Mixtape is dope too. I disagree with him being one of the realest in the game, there are a lot of MC's that are realer than most rappers. Check out C.O.B & Horse Shoe Gang they lyrical murderers and true to hip hop.

  77. P.... A....

    Had this on repeat on my ipod for 2 hours straight, then i gotta called for a job interview for tomorrow morning.... THIS SONG KEPT ME GOING, KRIT MUSIC KEEPS ME MOVING.. PEACE GOD

  78. 6.... ....

    wat sample is this beat? and krit i wake up to this song

  79. J.... P....

    Him and Nipsey Hussle are the realist in game right now

  80. D.... S....

    K.R.I.T is the voice in my head that never gets heard or related to.

  81. r.... ....

    Some niggas dislike a video not because they dont like the song or rapper but solely to be the first dislike. Fuckin stupid.

  82. D.... ....

    I don't know how y'all feel but when I listen to Krit I can relate to so many stuff he says! I got mad respect for dude....!!

  83. B.... V....

    Been on repeat since yesterday!!!

  84. y.... ....

    hiphop in its true form though provoking and inspiring, I LTERALLY HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES LISTENING TO KRIT

  85. m.... t....

    Real tlk mane. Da truth. Dis is real hiphop

  86. d.... f....

    This dude is the truth..
