Statik Selektah - Alarm Clock Lyrics
(Hook)Is it real?Is it fake?I woke up, suddenly I just woke up(Verse 1)Look, it only makes sixth senseThey sleep on the creator of Pineal GlandNo offense taken, I'm just racing to save you a manCrucifix, positive edition it's all the sameGiven that getting head is cool but, what is it if you don't use your brainThat's one plane, negative subtraction but, still a balanceIf dyslexic then, play this shit backwardsUh, the black lip captain of the shipWhen you dividing the pie, rats come, it's all math sonSo is it really really real? Or do you need to shapen up my G?I'm a tree, you know peace be stillThe irony of my movement, they eyeing my every movementThe pioneer of the future, another Statik selectionWith a dab of perfectionWhether it's wax in your bong or your eardrumI'm here now, I'm guessing you live in fear nowSo be it, when they speak about the real Soul be it, no debateDon't just give 'em the fish, teach 'em to fish, let 'em pro-create Shout out to Joey and 'em, was dope before the cakeI went from selling records out my record shopTo my record selling out the record shopThat's a paradox like a pair of yachts(Hook)Is it real?Is it fake?(Alarm clock) (Soul)I woke up, suddenly I just woke up(Verse 2)It's hard to be optimistic when Connor's your oppositionAin't no competition, you just a confident contradictionAnd what I am is the future, refuse to dispute itI'll prove it through music and all you dudes can do is salute itThe most authentic, they get lost in it, I spit raw venomJump when I say jump, I feel like Kriss Kross, niggaNever average, cut from different fabric, fans they never lastMy shit's eternal, moving so fast that I probably won't notice a hurdle (ye know)Look, Best of the best expect nothing less on my questTo save the game, I'm walking around like there's an S on my chestIt's aftermath out here acting bad, I wave the flagWe the only thing moving, the ***** you go say to that?!No lies, all truth, make all you call truceWatch all just fall off like you tossed off a tall roofFor getting this verse off I paid the cost of the lawsuitCause I keep hitting them hard with these lines and they all throughConnor(Hook)Is it real?Is it fake?I woke up, suddenly I just woke up (you you you)(Verse 3)Another day another dollar from that 9 to 5Yeah, you living but ask yourself, are you really alive?I work outside, I work with food, I work behind the deskI've even hustled around my block, but hold up, I digress (ye know)I've paid my dues, see this life I didn't chooseMy face on the ten o'clock news, shit I refuseI was born in a lower class, where gangstas with dough amassAnd police would ask questions, but we never answered when askedMama *****in' while my sister baby daddy cooking crack in the kitchenGettin' rich in the street from slangin' prescriptionHe showed me how to cook it, he showed me how to cut itBut deep down I always knew that life just wouldn't cut itSo I started writin', it was a dark timeOnly fifteen, but the shit I seen would blow ya mindSchool was getting harder due to my life at homePrincipal always calling cause I had barely shownNo father figure, my mother tried her best to be bothBut let's be honest, a father really helps with your growthBut I was raised by Nas and Jay-Z and Big L and EminemAll of them set examples thru they lyricsListen close so I could hear it, about life and how not to fear itHow to grab a wheel so I could steer it, and so IAnd so I did just thatWord of advice follow your dreams and never look back!I said it's Logic(Hook)Is it real?Is it fake?I woke up, suddenly I just woke up
