[Hook: Brandon Carter] What you gon' do in your sleep? What you gon' do if awake? Are you aware of what's happenin'? Have you touched basis with reality? I hope and pray we stay safe I hope we wake the next day I know what's real and what's not There is fate, there is faith There's nothin' much I can say [Hook continued: Malia Carter] (x4) Oh, we're stuck in reality [Verse 1] What's this place? What's this world that we've come to? If we can't live by its guidelines Then what's the point of rules You need to know that the time you got's not long You just wasted your time—it's gone And I mean, you're not listening—you're gone Indeed you ain't built for this—all 'long I ain't gon' trip, with this—headstrong What's it to a murderer who tries to change up But had the audacity to take one? They took part of us, and'll never make up everything they've costed 'em in a blink of an eye Everybody's fighting for a piece of the pie A gist of the prize, this world is a lie Pent up by all the armory, that's draped wit' our irony Spent up, can't win the lottery, some kids are starving see It's all in stereo: trends brainwashing the Radio, same scenario Take the good and then laugh, push that to back Put bad in, the mast majority's rap? We work when we young, to relax when we're old? This is a free country, yet everything's sold Bills, fines, mortgages so what do we own? People born with a silver-spoon in their throat The rest scratch and claw to kick you off of your throne I think that term "real" is extinct, why? Look around and what ya see, huh? You awake? Sink it in, ahh! No I do not feel at home, who's those people next door? Cannot find peace and quiet, to think or blink, nah These are hittin' words, that'll knock out You're playin' yourself when you're gamblin' You better back out! We ain't gettin' anywhere with violence Put your guns down! Don't buy into d**h Put that cigar down! Don't drink another bottle Before you pa** out! If you want to end it that way, then that's a fast route If your life's worth the while, then you can cash out Yeah, it's our finality, normality Had to be this way, cause are stuck in reality! [Hook: Brandon Carter] What you gon' do in your sleep? What you gon' do if awake? Are you aware of what's happenin'? Have you touched basis with reality? I hope and pray we stay safe I hope we wake the next day I know what's real and what's not There is fate, there is faith There's nothin' much I can say [Hook continued: Malia Carter] (x4) Oh, we're stuck in reality [Verse 2] Can you look me in the face, and tell me what you did? Wish you could take it all back, but this place is surreal So real! We're all cornered in the likes of a cell Cannot escape from this prison Cannot escape from the jail You can't trust anybody, so seems we'll never make bail I don't know why we think that life is a game Guess you, want to reach the highest level of pain The people that got a smile on their Face Are the same people wearing a mask, and pyschopathically feint Catastrophically indulged with no sight of Restraints Gain the enjoyment when you blown out ya Brains I don't know what else could I rant About Without starting fires, with need to stomp it Out If you're a snitch, most would say to shut your Mouth But, it's freedom of speech, and I say this whole world's Going down By our self-destruction, and the actions we make Now Reality's what we live in right? But I bet some are In doubt I'm down to teach, but sounding like I'm bound to Preach I'm not gonna say much more, I'm really at the Max Truly everything is intact, this is exactly the place we live in In fact Perhaps, maybe if you would've stayed on Track Then maybe you wouldn't fall to these amount of Laps Don't let the fear of what could happen make nothing happen Don't plan a future with someone with no future plans Yeah, congratulations you're awake to reality (Welcome to the edge of reality)
