Stay Woke (feat. Ashley Sorrell) - Royce Da 5'9"/Ashley Sorrell.mp3

[00:11.729]Yeah, now you see what the Lord doin'
[00:14.754]Rippin' pages out the book, I had to make the story fluent
[00:18.160]Thanks to Marshall, I'm sober doin' what I enjoy doin'
[00:20.916]I'm puttin Chavis Chandler on, had to at least pay it forward to him
[00:23.857]Yeah, every other day another star is born
[00:26.743]And that's to freshen the decayin' of the art form
[00:29.770]**** with my commas, **** will be quick
[00:32.265]Got what's in my pocket out of the dirt, filthy rich
[00:35.268]I stuck to my promise to momma, stay focused
[00:37.478]Double entendre, I'm tryna vocally smoke you, you will be missed
[00:41.283]The hocus, the pocus, magician doing tricks in his miserable business
[00:44.856]Who spit, loyalty, forgiveness through biblical scripts
[00:47.917]Of morals and wisdom, paintin' pictures of this
[00:50.577]Historical war of attrition who's just, the ******, the wokest
[00:54.212]I'm five years sober
[00:55.328]Trauma from my childhood constantly haunts me 'til I finally cry tears over
[00:59.365]Sharp as a gauntlet, with thoughts of my side chick in high heels
[01:02.546]Cause I didn't want her, I needed her, though I didn't want her
[01:05.443]I'm hot as July, no lie, I wouldn't lie in a sauna
[01:08.108]Invest in the truth, don't expect me to buy into moments
[01:11.209]They done took the charts over so now y'all scared of them shook ******?
[01:14.497]Jamal Crawford couldn't crossover and sell me them Wolf tickets
[01:18.213]Uhh, "Best Rapper Alive" broadcasts in five
[01:21.080]Four, three, two, one
[01:24.055]I'm fly as a dive in the sky in a harness
[01:26.308]Anyone alive sleepin' on me can die in pajamas
[01:29.120]Police call me a threat to society, though I am a promise
[01:32.120]I am a one-of-one like I'd say a Isaiah Thomas
[01:35.260]You can't fathom thinking deep enough to sink the abyss
[01:38.145]You think you Pac, I'm thinkin' of sinkin' your Demetrius Shipp
[01:41.097]Only thing that I can't fathom is why the preacher is rich
[01:44.185]How to think in the moderation and turn a drink to a sip
[01:47.182]I'm private when I fly, I ball out like 'Bron do
[01:50.199]You in the game but you sit and coach like Tyronn Lue
[01:53.339]Me and my soldiers, we just out here mobbin' like old Italians
[01:56.352]I'm snatching your homie's necklace to rock it with your medallion
[01:59.691]Over these groceries, I'm toe-to-toe with your whole battalion
[02:02.436]I hit you with four from this .44 like Hova album
[02:05.480]I take lives like banned contracepts
[02:07.827]All the contraband I collect is Iran contra-esque
[02:10.760]Respect the mantra or die at the hands of consciousness
[02:13.743]Run up and get left ran down to death on your damn conscious steps
[02:16.777]The booze already made me lose, I can't go out like I'm Amy Winehouse
[02:20.715]The Lord graciously still kept me here in a place to be
[02:23.810]On the corner like baby Blue standin' in timeout
[02:26.628]Looking real spiritually aware, pair of Pumas on
[02:29.812]Looking like I'm aboard a Lear, headed to uniform
[02:32.671]I'm so lyrically rare, I spearheaded the unicorn
[02:35.799]I was born a bold one, sugar-coated on
[02:37.881]The way I'm livin' put me in a great position now
[02:40.691]Every time they hear me, they say, "Ain't nobody did this, nah"
[02:43.636]And if they don't, they **** been off, just listen to the diction in this lyricism
[02:47.154]I won't break a fool, they don't want me to blow
[02:49.931]But every single show, they hand out like I owe 'em
[02:53.446]Already paid my dues and wordings, uh
[02:54.963]But if I said it then they still won't know, so I won't waste my time on you
[02:58.890]And speakin' on the level that ya never on, the way they hatin' so incredible
[03:02.979]My writings on the wall, to you, it's so illegible
[03:05.482]I'm invincible, you're sleepin' on me, I'ma stay woke
[03:10.374]Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
