Waking Up
Nate Deezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spend my money on the dreams they try to sell you
Build my house on the lies they try to tell you
That its alright, its alright
But the fire is burnin higher, higher
And I just might, just might
Turn my microphone up to ignite it
Light it up
This is our ground and we wont give it up, wont give it up, wont give it uuup
You can say we in it for blood, if it was dying
Now I seen it how I can remain silent
Even if I have to write, how can I deny it
And wake the roar in my spirit like a lion
Been asleep for a long time, its been awhile since I opened my eyes
But I feel like waking up, I feel like waking up
In the first few lines of the song, Nate Deezy is stating his reluctance to buy into the dreams that the society is trying to sell us. He mentions that these dreams are built on lies, and refuse to accept them as the truth. He goes on to say that the fire within him is burning high, and he might turn his microphone up to ignite it, which means he may use his voice as a tool to light up the revolution. Nate explains that he and the people around him won't budge from their stand, and will not let go of their ground. He mentions that they're willing to fight for it and even die for it if necessary. Moreover, Nate Deezy juxtaposes the silence he's been keeping with how he feels he must speak up for the truth. He also mentions how writing has given him the ability to express the roar in his spirit like a lion, and how he feels awakened after being asleep for a long time.

That its alright, its alright
Their reassurances are not enough
But the fire is burnin higher, higher
The passion inside me is growing stronger
And I just might, just might
I am considering
Turn my microphone up to ignite it
Using my voice to spark change
Light it up
Get it started
We're standing here, and we won't move won't budge - uh
We are standing firm and refusing to back down
This is our ground and we wont give it up, wont give it up, wont give it uuup

You can say we in it for blood, if it was dying
They may accuse us of being aggressive or violent, but only if it means fighting for something we truly believe in
Now I seen it how I can remain silent
I realize that staying quiet is no longer an option
Even if I have to write, how can I deny it
I will express myself through any means necessary, and cannot deny my convictions
And wake the roar in my spirit like a lion
I will unleash the passion within me like a powerful roar
Been asleep for a long time, its been awhile since I opened my eyes
I have been uninvolved for too long; it has been a while since I truly saw what was happening around me
But I feel like waking up, I feel like waking up
I am ready to come to consciousness and take action
