N0va - Wake up lyrics

[Intro] Ya better wake up, wake up To get yo Cake up, Cake up Keep Counting Paystubs, Paystubs It won't get you far need a shake up, shake up! [Hook] Ya better wake up homie To get yo cake up homie Keep countin paystubs homie Won't get you far you need a shakeup Homie [Verse 1: N0va] Y'all call to talk business but don't lead with the price Y'all try to offer riches but it don't even suffice Y'all walking so thin y'all ain't feelin the ice Tell me to have faith cuz I ain't believing in christ I don't need yo advice Cuz I can put cheese on the traps and feed em to mice And sit back and watch em feed the device I'm an open book but y'all ain't readin my life Don't wanna catch me in the heat of the fight My hustle never sleeps and you needed a night To charge up, restore, you're repeating it twice My mind so sharp, I ain't needing a knife I can cut the game up, and eat up a slice A hungry f**ing hippo – I get evil with bite With the devil on my shoulder – he be speaking bout vice You say you got views so you outta our sight But yo perspectives all broken like lacking in sight [Hook] Ya better wake up homie To get yo cake up homie Keep countin paystubs homie Won't get you far you need a shakeup Homie X2 [Verse 2: N0va] I been overexposed And overthinking my prose I'm overindulging And going through the motions unopposed It's over – and I'm supposed To be Nova but I don't know I been foldin under stresses Overwhelmed when I'm all alone I took a blow right to my senses Defined by my expenses Credit card statements serving as life lessons My own worst enemy and yea you might guess it Is in the mirror staring back at me like Use Thy Weapons The Pen mightier than the sword? But local rappers can't even get up on the board – they always get ignored Fighting to be heard we all just Fighting to record Saving paychecks for Studio time we can't even afford [Hook] Ya better wake up homie To get yo cake up homie Keep countin paystubs homie Won't get you far you need a shakeup Homie
