The 13th Brotherhood(Vol.2) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake you up
Gotta show you
Show you
What's up
Gotta shake you man
Shake you up
You always seem to lose your touch
I think you think
You think too much
There's only so much you can take
Before the pieces start to break
You said your color's always red
I see your eyes already dead
Gotta wake up man
Wake you up
Gotta show you
Show you
What's up
Gotta shake you man
Shake you up
Gotta shake you till you wake up
Don't stack the ride
When you're wackin' in your head
The things you sow upon your face
Will show up when you fall from grace
From all the shit that you put in
Your color pours out from your skin
Gotta wake up man
Wake you up
Gotta show you
Show you
What's up
Gotta shake you man
Shake you up
Gotta shake you till you wake up
In "Wake Up Call," The 13th Brotherhood is urging someone to wake up and see the reality of their situation. They start by telling the person that they need to be shown what's up and shaken until they fully wake up. The person seems to be going through a tough time and has lost their touch, possibly because they think too much. The Brotherhood emphasizes that there is only so much a person can take before they fall apart. They also allude to the idea that the person's self-destructive behavior is causing them to "stack the ride," which could mean that they are making things worse for themselves.
The Brotherhood also refers to the person's supposed affinity for the color red, saying that they can see the person's eyes are dead. This could mean that the person is filled with anger, frustration, or another intense emotion, which is causing them to become numb or disconnected. The Brotherhood then warns the person that the things they sow on their face will eventually show up when they fall from grace. They're essentially saying that the person's body language and expressions will give away their true emotions and state of mind.
