Wake Up Lyrics - Raekwon The Chef

Chorus - 

(One) gun go off, showin' everything is lost 

(Two) hold between me and you, these the rules, c'mon 

(Three) yo, we gotta stand together to take cream'n 

(Four) without me and you the crew just could never be 

Verse 1: 

Imaginative mental, blood flyin' 

the most hardest niggas cock they iron 

foul, live like a Lion 

listen to the streets and your gun go off 

sorta like a show off 

jungle way of livin', hittin' dro off 

lifestyle changes niggas see that 

they gettin' anxious just to throw one in your ski hat 

watch your language, yeah, you fresher than a Million bucks 

you got a new hustle, you hardly knew niggas would envy lust 

they gettin' hungrier and niggas bust 

they lit a bigger dutch 

fixin' them Calicos to dig your guts 

detectives roam 

niggas come home and got a bigger dome 

ready to zone on what a nigga own 

caught in the mischief 

how can you live when it's a sickness 

that sorrounds that projects and the trenches 

walkin' through the bushes at night 

you gotta be sharp like a butcher knife 

subtly show up when the jooks is right 

and everything will have a major like 

whether it's black or white 

nobody knows until they snatch your life 

wake up son, the season's just a thing the mind make up 

it's only real kid, ha, wake up! 

Chorus 2x 

Verse 2: 

The meat market pardon me, the heat market 

chill, we got it on lock, the nigga got to sweet talkin' 

I gotta eat and got the beast targeted 

relax, my Brothers on 'role, niggas got police barkin' 

they want us killed, sieze the sargent 

blowin' each cartridge 

we ill, realer in each market 

feel the leather jacket, sleek ostrich 

unleash the arsonist, just popped the wig off of each hostage 

make it real and make his niece watch it 

yokin' Grandmothers up, we kill until his peeps squash it 

verse is somethin' mean regardless 

a green jar of harvest 

just smoke, niggas got the green Garcia's 

a terrifying team of heartless 

move on the Narcs's 

we only on it for extreme profits 

and anyway we dream darkness 

I saw it through the Jean Paul Gotier mint green gleam optics 

So wake up Son, the season's just a thing the mind make up 

it's only real kid, ha, wake up. 

Chorus 2x 

Verse 3: 

A message from Elijah's kids 

my eyes opened, got wise on the biz 

start risin' my wig 

seen everything I saw before 

had dreams behind a wall 

all I wanted was to balance my all 

make it through feedin' my kind 

readin' the lines 

on how the dollar bill is shaped and designed 

taught from the Eighties 

talk, build, and protect all Babies 

strong shelters with strong Ladies 

a nigga died, died amongst Daisies 

he did it for the Babies 

thats peace, feed 'em if they gettin' lazy. 

Chorus 2x
