Tkay Maidza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Late night, probably awake (yeah)
Text me, probably awake
FaceTime, probably awake
Rollin', rollin' up and down the place woo (yeah, yeah, yeah, woo)
Late night, probably awake (alright)
Text me, probably awake (FaceTime)
Rollin', rollin' up and down the place (woo)
yeah, I take the wheel with my one hand
Devil in a dress, carry tricks in a bum bag
Swerving on the beat, drop the heat then I dispatch
Cutting all the weak leeches like a wrist band
Late night hitman, focused, tryna get the big bag
Bass big slap, make your neck feel whip lash
Ain't no motherfucker with drip, quit the chit chat (shut up)
Had to pop some niggas off my list, like a Ti-Tac, yeah
I don't really know how to be tired (to be tired)
I don't really know how to be tired (I don't know)
ADD, my day's like a riot (flames)
If the beat is David I'm Goliath (I'm giant)
I don't really know how to be tired (woo)
Waving black flags like a pirate (uh)
24/7, I be wired (alright)
365, I'm alive
Late night, probably awake (yeah)
Text me, probably awake
FaceTime, probably awake
Rollin', rollin' up and down the place woo (yeah, yeah, yeah, woo)
Late night, probably awake (alright)
Text me, probably awake (FaceTime)
FaceTime, probably awake
Rollin', rollin' up and down the place woo
Creeping (uh), one deep outside, we sleeping (yeah)
P226, I'm a demon (huh)
Double heat, double the fun, double meaning (ooh)
Niggas can't even handle what I be concealing
Selling 'caine, you're not able to have a weekend (nah)
Now you're hostile (wow)
Is it because I'm getting money like a Rothschild?
I'm never sniffing the charts, but I'm puttin' hits out (yeah, nigga)
I'm making snuff films, bitch, I got the clip out
These silly niggas happy that I got a roll now
Real rapping (uh), real niggas get money kill actors
Pussy I'm pulling up on you because you cappin' (yeah, yeah)
Niggas be pullin' up on you like, yo what happened?
Yo bitch ass on Instagram taggin' (huh, huh)
Bitch I play tag with a motherfuckin' handgun (huh)
Set a nigga up, I'ma make it look real
Cock that shit and hit the pussy from the back
They gonna think you slipped and lost your balance
Johnny got blitzed, he wasn't playing Madden (huh)
uh, sucka ass niggas shoulda kept to rapping
Bitch
Late night, probably awake (yeah)
Text me, probably awake
FaceTime, probably awake
Rollin', rollin' up and down the place woo (yeah, yeah, yeah, woo)
Late night, probably awake (alright)
Text me, probably awake (FaceTime)
FaceTime, probably awake
Rollin', rollin' up and down the place woo
Go to sleep
Pray for weeks
Lock your doors and count your sheeps
I'm doing drive-bys in the twilight
High like, cicadas in the wildlife (yeah)
CC-TV on the side
I green night vision, open wide
I cannot go to bed
Late night, probably awake (woo)
Text me, probably awake
FaceTime, probably awake (yeah, yeah, yeah, woo)
Rollin', rollin' up and down the place woo (alright)
Late night, probably awake (FaceTime)
Text me, probably awake
FaceTime, probably awake
Rollin', rollin' up and down the place woo (yeah)
Stress and anxiety can lead to substantial variants of sleep
So now look at your clock and tell me to increase pressure, like that sleep
Creating new habits are obviously something to be remembered
if you're having a nice night of sleep by doing them
Lastly, the best way to overcome insomnia is preparing your brain for sleep
For sleep
For sleep
For sleep
For sleep
The song "Awake" by Tkay Maidza explores the theme of being awake during the late night and not being able to sleep. The artist begins by stating that she is probably awake, with someone texting or FaceTiming her at the same time. She then describes herself as a hitman, focused on getting the big bag, while also cutting off weak leeches like a wristband. The artist expresses her inability to be tired and compares herself to Goliath, waving black flags like a pirate. She then talks about her nocturnal activities such as creeping outside, selling cocaine, and making snuff films.
The chorus starts with "late night, probably awake," reflecting the song's central theme. The artist continues to describe her various activities such as rolling up and down the place, while she is still awake. In the second verse, she talks about her drive-bys in the twilight, being high like cicadas in the wildlife, and having CC-TV on the side. The song ends with the artist urging the listener to prepare their brain for sleep and overcome their insomnia.
