[KRS-One:]
Y'know
There's a difference between dreamin, and visualizin

Which one are you doin?

Food gone up, gasoline up

Full-time employment passin me up
Bills pilin up, really this sucks
I need a couple bucks, really I'm stuck

Here comes a truck, pullin right up
It says Brinks, now I'm thinkin what's up
But nah, what I'm thinkin about, yo duck

20 30 40 shots at the truck
I'm duckin runnin jumpin lookin for what?
Some cover for this brother, EVERYTHING'S NUTS~!

But yo, I can see some others with gats
Brinks firin, they firin back
Rat, ta-tat-ta-ta-tat-ta-ta, tat

Then I woke up...

Doctor help me out, what's this all about

What's this condition I gotta figure out
Am I really out, that I really doubt
Give me the remedy, what is the amount?

Whatever you tellin me sellin me compellin me
Yo the light in me ain't out
Anyway I enter cats remember

Knowledge I sent ya forever they shout
SOUTH BRONX! SOUTH BRONX!
SOUTH BRONX! SOUTH BRONX!

Then I woke up...

Well I guess I'm out on my own

With this condition it won't be long
Before for sure my little sanity's gone
I'm livin off of nuttin, losin my home

Kids in the street, wife alone
I want to sell this very microphone
But then my friend the light was shown

It came through my inner cellular phone
Get up and get out my spirit will shout
Commitment is what love is really about

No down and no out, just up and about
I think I'm gonna take the spiritual route
Then I woke up...


Then I realized I'm out of my purpose
Out of my purp', not doin my work

I went on a search, inside of myself
For true health, love awareness and wealth
I went to the Temple and opened my mental

I learned that I'm the cause of all that I been through
Your whole environment is really within you
Reach inside your heart and write a new menu

I'ma be the change that I want to see
Now I can see, that I'm really free
Everything is really always somethin else

Tell yourself a different story 'bout self
Do you have the courage to be you
All that talk, that you talk, is it really you?

Oh silly you, oh silly me
Your tongue is killin YOU, not killin me
I'm feelin free, to be, just what I wanna be

Easily, you see, cause I woke up...

When I woke up, my debt went down

My locks broke up, my rent went down
My stocks went up, my car sped up
My pockets swell up, my life I found

I'm not so fed up it's time to get up
A clear mind switched my life around
Now I can see where the help is at

The health love awareness and wealth is at
Cause I woke up...
Cause I woke up! I woke up!

When I woke up, I woke up
That's when I woke up

Play that back
