wake up - iron solomon lyrics

[hook: gordon voidwell]
wake up we got so much to do
we can’t afford to see my whole life through
wooo, life goes on
we don’t stop it, won’t stop it
wooo, life goes on
we don’t stop and don’t stop it

[verse 1: iron solomon]
we all wanna stay even keeled
a lot of thoughts that we keep concealed
a lot of problems we need to heal
a lot of bridges that we can build
people dyin’ tryin’ to keep it real
people starvin’ for a decent meal
people thievin’ and squeezin’ steel
to pay the rent and the heatin’ bill
greedy pockets to deep to fill
big commercials preachin’ ills
quickest fix for the sweetest deal
highest price for the cheapest thrill
drink caffeine but you’re sleepin’ still
take enough you won’t need to feel
no need to wake up and see what’s real
you won’t be awake ’til they read ya will

[hook]

[verse 2: iron solomon]
life that you lead could be a jail
people too scared to leave a cell
prison walls to steep to scale
if you don’t escape how can we prevail?
all got fears we scared to face
all got dreams we scared to chase
tryin’ to make this moment last, our only chance we scared to waste
life’s too fast to take it slow
gotta get up and at ’em and away we go
from the stoop to the booth to the radio
out in l.a. on the wake up show
work 9 to 5 and at 5 to 9:00 there’s no regrets in this life of mine
and my eyes are wide when it’s time to grind
so my mama get to see her son rise and shine
{echos}

[gordon voidwell]
wake up {x8}

[hook]

[verse 3: iron solomon]
i solemnly swear this is solomon’s year
christen the ship with a bottle of beer
get in the whip, full throttle in gear
ain’t quittin’ ’til i’m sittin’ with 2pac and aaliyah
my head to the heaven, the sky’s clear
the future’s lookin’ brighter than the lights up in time’s square
everything that i have ever bet is right there
but i know that one nick can turn into a light year
time is an opponent don’t fight fair
so every wakin’ moment i fight fear
what i fear is livin’ my life scared
thinkin’ ’bout gettin’ old was givin’ me white hairs
dreamin’ of success was givin’ me nightmares
started at one step at a time when i climb stairs
made it to the top, ain’t takin’ a flight there
the journey has become me all the stories that i share
crowd controller with the mic in my hand like a gun holster
with the mind of a man who is much older
i’m the voice of the youth we are one culture
with the weight of the world on our young shoulders
give ’em once in my heart like a blood donor
haven’t gotten where we goin’ but we much closer
ain’t no half steppin’ ’til my runs over
til i’m kickin’ the bucket ’til they blowin’ the bagpipe
til they bury me six feet, til they read me my last rites
they say i’m an old soul, i traveled this path twice
livin’ by the lessons that i gathered in past lives
got a vision to chase, runnin’ ’round the clock and i’m winnin’ the race
ain’t sittin’ in place, gotta quicken the pace
gotta get up and get it, not a minute to waste
