Scartown Koom - rude awakening* Lyrics

An empty stomach and pride don't match
What I'm saying this for is ultimately guys
Here's what you can not do
"Man I'm behind man I'm-I'm-I'm behind
Man I sure need to get better"
Stop saying that I mean seriously real talk stop saying that
Because here's what the world hears
You sound like a baby a victim
Nobody wants to hear that you're behind
What people wanna see is sweat coming off of your face and effort
And then people asking "Damn you working hard
What you working so hard for?"
"Shit Dude I gotta get it I've been living behind"
That's that goddamn confession
That's that holding yourself accountable
But see lemme clean paint that picture again

Yea
Sick and tired of waking up and seeing memes and not millions
My wallet loaded up with nickel pennies shit
Gotta get my money up and stop doing some crazy shit
Only getting older 23 and got no businesses
Gotta change it up I'm tryna drive up in the latest Benz
Tired of getting curved I'm tryna cuff me up some lady friends
Been the man of the house
For a year plus
Gotta step it up
Gotta stop the slacking gotta focus get my mom a house
Gotta stop the slacking gotta focus get my sis a new Bentley truck
Warranty and all
Bitch I'll never fall
Gotta stand tall
I done lived it all
Anyone who did me wrong
Gonna hear this song
And be like oh my god
Who the f*ck is snapping on this beat yea
Who the f*ck is feeding all the streets
Make my money then I put it on repeat
No I can't be sitting in one seat
No I can't be the only one with some food to eat
Gotta make some more for my friends and my family
Gotta set examples for my nephews and my nieces
Gotta be the one that they can come to for a remedy
Father rest your soul you could rest in peace
Yea
Yea rest your soul you could rest in peace
Yea Yea
I'ma take care of the family
Yea
You could place all your trust in me cuz I've
Had a rude awakening
Things ain't been the same since then
Blood sweat tears I done spent
Even lost a few friends
Had a rude awakening
Things ain't been the same since then
Blood sweat tears I done spent
You know I'm gone do it again
Shordy called my phone "my rents ain't home what we finna do"
"Bitch I'm at home I'm mad busy I got shit to do"
She like "you working mad hard I can see it on your story
Yea you working mad hard take a break and come and f*ck me"
"Bitch you ain't seen nothing no that was just a throwaway beat"
Work real hard so I could play later
I'm just tryna stay focused tryna get the paper
Bitches try distracting me from my work and my labour
Cut these bitches off like a motherf*ckin taper
Tryna get that money tryna get that dough
Tryna get that dough and tryna get some more
Tryna get that dough till I can't count it all
Cuz you know I can't be the only one with some food to eat
Gotta make some more for my friends and my family
Gotta set examples for my nephews and my nieces
Gotta be the one that they can come to for a remedy
Father rest your soul you could rest in peace
Yea
Yea rest your soul you could rest in peace
You already know you ain't gotta worry about shit
You're good
Had a rude awakening
Things ain't been the same since then
Blood sweat tears I done spent
Even lost a few friends
Had a rude awakening
Things ain't been the same since then
Blood sweat tears I done spent
You know I'm gone do it again
You know I'm gone do it again
You know I'm gone do it again
Yea Yea
Work real hard so I could play later
I'm just tryna stay focused tryna get the paper
Bitches try distracting me from my work and my labour
Cut these bi
Cut these bi
Like a motherfu

Lost my job
Started a new job
Lost that one because I was not in the mindspace
All this stuff fell apart and do you know in 12 months
It was restored plus
I went from here to there
Not having a car to buying my BMW cash
A lot of people would've given up
Want to die
I know I did not understand what was happening
But I knew I needed to fight
But I didn't only survive it
I thrived through it
Why can't you?
No-no-no wrong question
Why WON'T you?
