MC Frontalot - Wake Up! lyrics

[Verse 1: Mega Ran] It's a typical Sunday night, can't sleep Thinkin' bout the coming week And all the promises I can't keep Cuz there ain't enough seconds in a minute Minutes in an hour Hours in the day For work, when I wanna play My lady thinking I don't show her respect But she don't know I got games I haven't opened up yet, now that's love Every Thursday I'm cooped in a packed club Praying this ain't the day that one of em' act up And throw a bottle onstage rolling under my foot Causing a fall, caught on tape that gets hundreds of looks on YouTube - got screws loose, runnin' like second hand Then I get home and realize I didn't do my lesson plans Everyone envies the life of Mega Ran It's not all good, but I count my blessings fam Cause it's hard to find a job, let alone one you wanna do I hit the daily double, and came up on two Three if you count a loyal significant other This didn't seem as hard when I lived with my mother But I got tired of hearin' it - "go on and get serious" Now I be flowin' like, regular periods Growing as a lyricist in my six years in this And I learned so much - so I think it's time to grow up Packin my lunch, Doritos, and cold cuts One more pay cut - and I'm out - time to wake up! [Chorus: Mega Ran] If ya don't move, then ya don't eat So ya better get up on your feet It's a new day, running outta time So ya gotta grind, time to rise and shine If ya don't move, then ya don't eat So ya better get up on your feet It's a new day, running outta time So ya gotta grind, time to rise and shine [Verse 2: MC Frontalot] No snooze! You wanted to be a rapper now you got what you were after Today don't wanna? Well you have to Grab the mic and make noises into it You and the beat get intimate, send a report to the syndicate Indicating that you'll have a track ready soon Comment thread's incredulous but replies swoon "When, when?" But then *alarm* oh no, I slipped Into a dream, didn't even get a single rhyme writ And the rig isn't equipped and there's a sound check in an hour You know how you sometimes meet a nerd rapper who hasn't showered Well that was probably me, I beg your forgiveness It's only through your largess that I'm even allowed to live this Dream out So when I'm cussing about my wack boss Old Man Front running his sweat shop, take a sad pause Shed a lone tear, and then remind me That every day I wake up is a day dawned kindly [Chorus: Mega Ran] If ya don't move, then ya don't eat So ya better get up on your feet It's a new day, running outta time So ya gotta grind, time to rise and shine If ya don't move, then ya don't eat So ya better get up on your feet It's a new day, running outta time So ya gotta grind, time to rise and shine [Verse 3: Mega Ran] Wait up don't tell me it's time wake up Snoring like a bulldozer going like the brakes cut Eye boogers starting to cake up Six thirty sharp, I gotta pick the pace up Get my face up, off the pillow it ain't much Time for a meal so I just grab the K-cup French roast and get ghost and take lunch If I'm late once, more I'm gone, case shut Netflix was on shouldn't have stayed up Last night, watching Jimi tear the stage up Hop the train just missed the late bus Get a taxi he taxed me, 28 bucks Runnin' late but maybe I can make up Time - stay after hours, and face up To the music, no excuses straight up I mean I came to work, what else do they want? Head straight up, the hall, to A-1 My secretary always has something to say but This time what she said left me straight crushed "You do know it's Saturday, right?" Say what? [Chorus: Mega Ran] If ya don't move, then ya don't eat So ya better get up on your feet It's a new day, running outta time So ya gotta grind, time to rise and shine If ya don't move, then ya don't eat So ya better get up on your feet It's a new day, running outta time So ya gotta grind, time to rise and shine
