Slumber
Mick Jenkins (rapper) Lyrics

And tell your niggas “Wake up, wake up, wake up, we can’t sleep too long,” Way too long Ain’t no TLC, boy, we can’t creep too long Creep too long We finna put you on some shit though Shit though THEMpeople make you wanna get low But tell em “Wake up, wake up, wake up, we can’t sleep too long" Wake up, wake up We got bread to break up, we can’t be too long Can’t sleep too long We finna put you on some shit though THEMpeople make you wanna get low (Get low)
Don't waste your time sleeping in or being lazy, there's work to do and things to achieve. Focus on moving forward and improving yourself instead of taking it easy. Surround yourself with inspiring people and make sure you're constantly learning and growing.

Brush you teeth after the wake and bake Drink more water, watch your fake intake Don’t ever be scare to make mistakes, thats how you grow And avoidin’ the same mistakes you made is how you know You movin’ forward, its bout progressin’, I’m learnin’ lessons Most of this shit is really perception, its no perspective Most of my niggas is the exception, the water keep us reflective Thats why I gotta repeat it, pearls of wisdom repeated I’m chiefin’ with people that I can trust, rolling, burning, ’til they depleted Leave the ashes its dust They sayin’ cash is a must, I beg to differ I take the little dipper, as long as the ladle full I wanted to be an actor but I couldn’t play the fool at all Miseducated, could give a fuck about no school of thought, if you hate it Food for thought, regurgitatin’ what they played it for me Cookin’ faded, look what we created, then we catered for free
Take care of yourself physically and mentally, and be willing to make mistakes in order to learn and grow. Keep things in perspective and surround yourself with trustworthy people who encourage you to push forward. It's not all about money; focus on creating and helping others, not just chasing financial gains.

Wake up, woke up to another 24 Some my brothers still in slumber, thank the lord We was just dreamin’ about makin’ it easier The little things in life, you know the tedious Well oh he was teachin’ us, he workin’ while the goonies hate Real nigga in the same thing too they straight I can’t complain I was able when they was painin Ain’t had cable but had a radio and a brain Put two and two together in the ghetto And thats how I came up off my hoover thought a lil not Mick even brought the water, I swear its a fuckin’ potluck Give us this day our daily bread and thats more than a dollar bill Had to cope with a lot of bull but ain't fold cuz I’m smart again Look, they no longer recognize you You once did a show iced tonic and didn’t impress anybody Now look at you, you acquire, your pussy rate has sky-rocketed You came a long way since high school, you stepped out of your comfort zone
Be thankful for every new day and strive to make progress towards your goals, even when it's not easy. Don't be discouraged by others who try to bring you down - stay true to yourself and keep pushing through challenges. Recognize and appreciate the growth and success you've achieved, especially when others didn't see your potential.

I think I used to sleep so long, cause I ain't ever want to stop dreamin' Count my blessings like sheep, this real life just won’t let me be Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, it’s time to wake up my niggas Wake up, wake up Wake up, wake up, it’s time to wake up, right now I think I used to try too hard, cause now everything comes easy Open your eyes and trust yourself, and let the world see who you are Its all yours Its all yours Its all yours
Don't let go of your dreams or stop working towards them just because life gets tough. Keep pushing through and counting your blessings, even in difficult times. Trust in yourself and don't overthink everything - sometimes the best things come naturally. Be confident in who you are and take ownership of your life and progress.
