Wake Up Call
Derek Luh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm talkin' backyard BBQ's, chillin' til the sun down
And if you on that bullshit, then why you even come ‘round?
Good vibes and good times we smiling cause we young now
Tomorrow's never promised so we out here having fun now
Hello, say hello (hello) say hello (hello) say hello (hello)
This is yo wake up call, it's time fo' yo wake up call
It's time fo' yo wake up call, I got 'em sayin' (hello)
(Derek Luh)
I'm just a young'n on the green chase
What's for life, three days
White teeth with grease stains, fantasies of Pj's
While comfy in my pj's with a life, don't even free day
Couple kids, I'm peeking fiends
I grip a Benz, it's all pre-play
I'm blessed to live this life
Left it turn to wrong so I'm stressed to do what's right
Leave my heart on these songs, hope the press don't press for rights
Skipped the world, start comes, just to pick a betta fight
Hello! This is yo wake-up call, they ask me what it take
I say faith, that's all
Watch yo team perform great while they play their part
I faced all the hate and now they pay fo' my thugs

I'm talkin' backyard BBQ's, chillin' til the sun down
And if you on that bullshit, then why you even come ‘round?
Good vibes and good times we smiling cause we young now
Tomorrow's never promised so we out here having fun now
Hello, say hello (hello) say hello (hello) say hello (hello)
This is yo wake up call, it's time fo' yo wake up call
It's time fo' yo wake up call, I got 'em sayin' (hello)

(2: Battles)
Got 'em saying hello while I'm thinking goodbye
What do you see when you look in my eyes?
Confused the times, so I look to the sky
Put that hatred aside, remained as solid, stay away from the front
Neva rush it, take a day at a time and lets see what you find
I'm from the bottom, so we eager to climb
No story tellin', I'm just speakin' my mind
Lovely and the blind, don't fall victim, hope you seek what you find
Don't read between the lines until you meet the author
Feed my daughters, dreams are trips to the cleanest waters
Just geez and sonars, now the labels think we need a sponsor
It's prolly cuz we run the web, Peter Parker
Believe in conquer, it take faith fo' you to understand
This ain't happened on the zone, you know we had a plan
Now all my old haters is my biggest fans
And my pals all think like Alice, it's a Wonder Land
Battles!

I'm talkin' backyard BBQ's, chillin' til the sun down
And if you on that bullshit, then why you even come ‘round?
Good vibes and good times we smiling cause we young now
Tomorrow's never promised so we out here having fun now
Hello, say hello (hello) say hello (hello) say hello (hello)




This is yo wake up call, it's time fo' yo wake up call
It's time fo' yo wake up call, I got 'em sayin' (hello)
