Lyrics
Woke Up
Here?s two tales of whoa and don?t you know
Just to hear the story don?t settle scores
for what?s been done to those before me
blown open mooring rusting stains and stings tragic things
like planes of beings and buildings and falling ceilings
these are deliberate offensive sentiments foreshadowing destiny
that I forsee will will in me to perform these feats of infamy
many believe are causing free thoughts and actions words and passions
That?s the day the sky came down
That?s the day the earth shook up
That?s the day the mountains fell
That?s the day the world woke up
Baby beau baby?s gone baby knows baby?s wrong
Baby?s slow but baby?s strong and his will out ways the song
And his skills went far and long tending children with verse and lyric limerick and spirit
Now nobody hears it just a feeling that reveals it knowing truth that seals it
And on and on he lives in memory that?s sending me on an acoustical high as I fly with the spirit of my friend beau shot down by 5-O it was a fit of hazy brain crazy
That came after we burned the man and the plan was deliverance
He was delivered hence in a box
To perform no more stop the clocks
Chorus
So on the average day I wait for say these blind rude mad stupid
Lazy daisy heads to move wide, get high, jump me, ask and answer fast and fancy questions meant to stump the minds of the ignorant
While I bust the common sense
Blow your mind out with my gun of knowledge
No need for college to teach me things
search out the kings and the jesters
Lyrical professors, wordsmith matadors that fight the bull (shit) with scores
Lines and phrasing mental hazing as I continue praising
Universal consciousness for channeling yes the words your hearing they ain?t from me
I?m just feeling the human plight as I right down this line of speech I hope it reaches you so you can understand I am your friend and I am there for you
Chorus
