Wake up wake up
How you feeling?
Can I talk to ya?
Can I talk to ya?
Wake up wake up
How you feeling?
Can I talk to ya?
Can I talk to ya?

I been thinking bout
Moving out
Moving on
Grooving on
I been thinking bout
Putting my petty on
Take a flight
Just getting my Stella on
Then I hit you back
With mad excuses
Like how you do me
I pulled a you on you
Look at how you do me
I would look like a fool
Look at how you do me
I pulled a you on you
Look at who the fool be
I been think bout
Moving out
Moving on
Grooving on
Hitting up
Another nigga phone
I’m kidding
You’re the only one I want
Show em how to move in a
Room full of vultures
Show em how we move
In a room full of soldiers
If you got the gun
I bring the mask and the holster
Show em you my n*gga
Im ya b*tch
Like Bey and Hova
Show em how we do it
When we do it for the culture
Wake up wake up
How you feeling?
Can I talk to ya?
Can I talk to ya?
Wake up wake up
How you feeling?
Can I talk to ya?
Can I talk to ya?
What you really want from a b*tch
What you really want from a b*tch
What you really, really want from a b*tch
I’m just sick and tired
Of arguing and sh*t
I’m just trynna be
The one that you call
When you sick
When you up
Or you down
I’ll still be around
For you
Even though you piss me off
(I’m Sayin’)
When you up
Or you down
I’ll still be around
For you
Even though you piss me off
(Even though you piss me off, ayyy)
Wake up wake up
How you feeling? (how you, feeling feeling, feeling, feeling)
Can I talk to ya?
Can I talk to ya?
Wake up wake up
How you feeling? (how you, feeling feeling, feeling, feeling)

Can I talk to ya? (Can I talk to ya?)
Can I talk to ya? (Can I talk to ya?)
