Asleep by Ethos The Rapper Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2020

[Intro]
I was asleep, spendin' time on my needs and I was asleep
But I know you heard my voice screamin' please didn't you

[Verse 1]
Hey man wake up, yeah you ain't got no time to waste so get your coffee in the cup
Get your eggo in the hand, or spam, canadian ham, whatever hurry grab your bread and spread the jam
Early bird get the worm, that's why I reaffirm if you wanna waken from your slumber you're gonna have learn some shit that'll make you squirm, can confirm the world ain't what it seems and you're gonna have to come to term
The quicker that you wake up we can get to workin' doin' work from homе and lurkin' to discover
Just how badly on our chains Uncle Sam's jerkin', handin' out thеm red pills and I know we really gonna get 'em irkin'
Moved on from a three, to a six, to a nine, and those numbers are mine, nevermind what you hearin' anywhere else
Me tellin' you this is comin' from myself, well, me and a machine elf

[Chorus]
I was asleep, spendin' time on my needs and I was asleep
But I know you heard my voice screamin' please didn't you

[Verse 2]
Time to go, time to hit the road, path of discovery never gets old
Yeah, it's only for the bold so wake the fuck up and take a hold or you'll be left out in the damn cold
Veil is yours to break but there's a reason it's opaque, probably cause if you really could see through it
Then we could figure out what's hidin' behind it then all this shit we're dealin' with would change
Yeah, they'd all be burnin' on a wood stake
It shouldn't take sedition, people come first, in a way they are the mission, run by you
Why they always speakin' but they never listen unless the polls are sayin' the mob want the sun to glisten
Thinkin' votes are a christen
So divided, takin' sides you are derided, and I might've sided with somebody but I'm sleighted
With the lack of care that's been provided, left the crumbs and took the loaf to hide it
Man lied, war inside of your mind is where they've eyed it
[Chorus]
I was asleep, spendin' time on my needs and I was asleep
But I know you heard my voice screamin' please didn't you

[Verse 3]
Better wake up before it's too late or you'll be stuck in your dream land and locked behind the gate
And there's no debate when so much information in the world is on your phone that it's handed on a plate
Go on, step up to home and take a swing, then take what you learn and let it sing, get yourself a ring
Be a champion, fly high but fuck a wing, gearin' up for orbit, time to let this hog sing
And I am plantin' the seed whenever you need and I don't mean just weed, don't wanna impede
But I got plans and part of the plan is I might have to lead and I accept responsibility
For every man, every woman, every child, from the calm to the Kyle'd, right now my reach is mild
But you better wake up 'cause soon I'm gonna be reviled when all the shit hits the fan and get wild

[Chorus]
I was asleep, spendin' time on my needs and I was asleep
But I know you heard my voice screamin' please didn't you
