Wake Up
Bloody Civilian Lyrics

Yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation

Five thirty-one
Referring to the time on the clock

Now it's six twenty-one, yeah
Indicating the passing of time

Six-thirty, man, I got to get up
Acknowledging the need to wake up

But I don't want to get up
Expressing reluctance to wake up

But me I no wan mess up
Avoiding making mistakes

And I can never give up (okay)
Maintaining perseverance

I got the tunnel vision (okay)
Having a focused mindset

And I'm on a mission, got the energy noni (noni)
Driven by determination and vigor

Now, you got some for me?
Inquiring about assistance or support

Oya, send me the funds (ay)
Requesting financial help

Kola ti gon (kola ti gon)
Looking forward to a future event

Yeah, until I wake up
Referencing the time of waking up

Go to South Africa
Referring to a desired destination

Jola ti gon (jola ti gon)
Anticipating another future event

Yeah, then when I get the bar
Referring to achieving a certain status

We go to South Africa
Planning another trip to South Africa

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing excitement or affirmation

Is it time to get up, is it time to wake up now?
Questioning the appropriate time to wake up

Sufferation make a boy like me go crazy, crazy
Describing the hardship that causes distress

I look at my mother and sister, I said, "I cannot be lazy"
Finding motivation in family

Church boy na only huger fit make a brother go wicked'i
Emphasizing the impact of hunger on behavior

Gangster no fit snitch on me, me self I keep it secrecy
Highlighting the importance of secrecy in certain circles

No go lie tell my people, if I make music, e gots to pay me
Asserting the need for fair compensation

I dey my own side dey laugh
Finding amusement in personal achievements

I talk say na me be the future, people dey look like say I dey cap
Claiming to be a promising figure while facing skepticism

Oya, tell me the person for this generation wey dey bridge the gap, ah
Challenging others to identify someone who unifies generations

I am the OG (OG)
Referring to oneself as an Original Gangster

Never take you from me (me)
Refusing to let others diminish one's significance

When you're at the top, it can be lonely
Acknowledging the isolation that success may bring

I am never folding, see what I'm holdin'
Asserting resilience and displaying one's possessions

Now I keep it lowkey, but you see me rollin'
Choosing to maintain a low profile while still being noticed

Mmh, mmh, mhh
Non-verbal expressions of thought or introspection

Me, I no dey blow stick
Refusing to use drugs or engage in harmful activities

'Cause I know the wrong thing, yeah
Avoiding negative actions due to awareness of consequences

Is it time to wake up? Is it time to wake up now?
Questioning the appropriate time to fully awaken
