Awake Like An Owl Lyrics - Singles - Andre Nickatina

(What time is it!!!) 

This is one of those, A1-Yola raps... 

Stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind... 

[Verse 1] 

When you up all night 

You see things you shouldn't have saw 

Because the night gets raw 

Drama is thicker than Skippy's peanut butter 

Imagine the worried thoughts of a young man's mother 

Feelin's empty, Love don't live here anymore 

Awake like an owl at a quarter to four 

Don't blink, a Caddy just ran a red light 

Bumpin' thug life, man I blend with the night 

They call me greedy 

25 cents to get a girl a beaty 

It's Andre Nickatina 

I'm like a genie in a beanie 

El Dorado '88 Cadillac, all black 

Copy cats try to match 

But they style ain't exactly the same 

Somebody said "Freeze it's a raid!" 

You know cops are comin' when a brotha smells 

Glazed doughnuts, hold up 

Partna fill it to the rim 

Me and money go together like a feather in a brim 

I'm a magician 

Some say I'm a thief (?) but I ain't trippin' 

A girl be yellin...(?) I don't listen 

Crooked crow 

Playas seem to like my style 

Why's that killa whale... 

[Chorus]: 

I stay awake like an owl, Hoo! 

I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo! 

I stay awake like an owl, Hoo! 

I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo! 

[Verse 2] 

(What are ya baby?) 

I'm a Raider, camouflaged in silver and the black 

Tryin' to blitz through the line for the quarter back sack 

Of the money 

I dress like it's cold, not sunny 

But slyer than a Persian fox tryin' to catch a bunny 

In the snow 

I'm try'na get paid like a ho 

Or better yet the pimp that's rakin' in her dough 

Like a baker 

But check it, who's the king of the caine? 

And what's that tiga's name with the Macintosh computer brain mind 

Or should I say mine? 

Sometimes I gotta lie to protect my crime 

I call my lawyer! 

Bail bonds keep me on the streets 

Three in the mornin' I'm at the club with the freaks 

But I got hawk eye 

Meanin' that the joint is bein' watched 

Drinkin' with the killas that be pushin' up the cost 

For the drought season 

Pound season 

Dippers at they best 

But those be the ones that don't have to rest 

Like an owl... 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 3] 

I set a trap, I have to spin a web like a spider 

Don't strike matches, hate child-proof lighters 

Stay awake 

Witness I pick up the pace 

First I see a girl's butt, then I look at her face 

I can't explain 

I'm eatin' garlic bread with the steak 

Well, killa where the sale came from just when the sale tanks 

The patty cart, the eagles is the code for the narcs 

Brothas droppin' cream by the fiends when they part 

I'm like a sentinel, known to be the principal original 

Lookin' for the road that made of gold they call it federal 

I'm a general, but yet at times I blaze with my lieutenant 

Popeye, no more weed or blunts, who got the spinach? 

Cough, choke, feelin' no remorse for the roach 

Choppin' up freaks as ya lounge with your folks 

Playin' dice, you take a chance at the crap game 

It's all about the money baby, it's the rap game 

And I'm an owl... 

[Chorus] x2 

Uh... And I'm out 

Uh, Shit 

It's a playas emergency, (It's a playas emergency) 

It's a playas emergency, (It's a playas emergency) 

What, STOP! 

Shit, fade me, fade me, fade me, fade me, fade me... 

(What time is it!)
