raf instinct - wide awake lyrics

(chorus)
in my own shoes, this life’s a maze
live by my own rules, i’m wide awake
won’t be your mule, i’ll die this way
live like i’m ‘posed to, i’m wide awake

as the record spins, let me set it straight
let the measure hit, shred beats to resonate
pressure lifts, bet he amends his game
better blitz, ready? head this way
22 hustlin’ from 10 to 8
so at 30 there’s a much bigger breath to takе
renegade dodging an indеbted fate
cut the drama, cut the dead, leaded weight
show up empty+handed at the friggin’ potluck
you’d switch up on potential for the finished product
you’re a mindf+ck! manipulation is just not love
showin’ symptoms of someone i could simply not trust
high+value ain’t luxury, f+ck a chunk of cheese
high+value is someone who gets they life out from under siege
sucka or a fraud ain’t sumn he’ll succumb to be
not a bum or leech, in touch with what’s under the trunk of trees
his roots, guiding wonderfully if you were wondering
headstrong, he mustn’t be moving reluctantly
clutch his nuts and trust his g+u+to+the+f+ckin+t
establishment’s outcast, yet the nerd that the gutter sees
wanted you, guess you’re better off with him
guess i’m better off with a dream and a drippin’ bic pen
22 witta number 2 instead
ain’t need a 9, .38 or 45 to sling lead
(alt. chorus)
in my own shoes, this life’s a maze
live by my own rules, i’m wide awake
stand on my own two, i won’t break
spit shine my own jewels, throne’s mine to take

(verse 2)
humble beginnings, so we hustled with intention
wrote my heart out, paper rustled in detention
lived the struggled that i mentioned, but things are on the mend, kid
armed with music and books, he could crumble your defenses
immigrant son who handled what was sent his way
poor with aging parents, is my heart at resting rate?
lyrical swordsman, sharp whether pen or blade
for trends or mediocrity, won’t regress today
picking his battles don’t make the boogeyman spineless
from here to doomsday, i refuse to be blindsided
detach from those with no common goal, values i don’t align with
morality crisis out for your highness’ likeness
these motions require character you ain’t able to be
people fondly make promises they ain’t capable to keep
discipline discrepancy make cut ones who came with me
destination be somewhere you’re unable to r+reach
unleash your resentment, asian nas and you can hate me
on the come+up, motherf+ck those who gatekeep
use to seek my chaining day, now that chain’s released
calculated creativity packaged in a deranged beast
villainized for idolizing gutter folks’ accomplishments
cuz rockers and rappers gave me a taste for social consciousness
so call me punk or woke, i want the smoke, that sh+t’s a compliment
dey come and go like seasons if you’re seasoned, pass the condiments
(chorus)
in my own shoes, this life’s a maze
live by my own rules, i’m wide awake
won’t be your mule, i’ll die this way
live like i’m ‘posed to, i’m wide awake
