Armond WakeUp - East St Louis, IL lyrics

My ex mother in law said she don't miss being young Ain't know what she meant until I turned 31 I'm in a Cooper with a cutie Praying this would be fruitful & not full of confusion Tired of having & losing But I'm used to it Usually I ain't loose with it Lotta these movements is moving lips They Ludacris, Word Of Mouf Regurgitating what they heard about Just enough to let service out I'm hurting how they working The sweat of their brow's a golden cow Their god is a noun My God is a now He's the giver of life So I ain't holding my breath I ain't tryna get ga**ed up on the road to success My mother said she stayed with my father for opportunity Committing sins for false sense of security They do it for the eyes, they do it for the lies They writing for the vibes, I'm writing to save your life Corporate America got me lusting after this college I don't skrrt, been riding Impalas Better acknowledge I'm nodding at the anonymous All the years of denying us I move by the spirit, not common sense Their mind is dense Numb to my kids living in different states There's grace But consequences keep me awake So I rest in the rest Do what I can & I rest in the rest Try to arrest the stress Of the moments that I miss Summers are like an interlude Facetime turns into interviews What you call miniscule Is me drowning in a million pools Brother you bought them million views I walk through my city & get stopped Like Armond we need your message I never saw God from that perspective Keep blessing I'm a *vessel Cuz if I give you me, I give you weak If I give you He, I give you heat Give what you need More than a Weeknd My weakness I fight to not get consumed God said I'm an Heir, well I'm in this House of Balloons With some Gla** Table Girls Snorting my aspirations Masturbating to my inflating ego Assa**inating my sonship My oneness This weight that I'm sitting under Everyday on my face, pray I don't lose my wonder I been running, anyone else would reach for a drink I need a text asking if I need anything
