Wake Up
Why you woke up this morning?
Was it because the alarm went off
And you snooze it;half-sleepy and yawning
Or was it cause you had to go to work
And do that 9 to 5
Just living check to check
Just trying to stay alive
But that's basic,daily,simple things
We all do that
Just trying to get that money
So we could go back
To our families and wives
To our paradises and lifes
To wake up in the morning,to
see your wife with a smile
And she say good morning baby
I'm bout to wake up in a while
And you go wake up your kids for school
And they all say WHY!!!!!
And then you get dress and drink a Five Hour Energy
And your wife comes in and then she kiss you gently
Saying I'll see you when you get home
Cause she's a work-at-home mom,selling products over the phone.
And then you kiss her back
And then you walk out the door
Thinking this the reason I wake up.
NOTHING LESS AND NOTHING MORE
