verse1:
streets dry, sunrise, the projects just woke up
in about ten minutes here come that black, chevy, gutti out truck
its a friday so grills fired up like general electric heaters
close you mouths cause yo ears open hearing auto speakers
even tho today is fun someone else dont feel the freshest
every house have a depressing story like something like that of precious
grievances out to the dead wish the living the bestest
shoutout to the down and out hospital bullet in chestess
its a new day for every age even toddlers yo 
in the mornings nickelodeon but mom just so blowed
said she can afford the cost of living its getting to hard
baby daddys wont even step up, wont even the mow the trashy yards

chorus:
its time to wake up 
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up 
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane

verse2:
every ghetto have some love like icecream men selling scrapers
or like the sunday boy on bicycles handing out papers
every apartment have a neighbor like two jail cells sitting together
everybody seem to borrow like inmates passing letters
some plan to move out moving up to some better
others only know the projects getting swisher sweets wetter
some want to move up north to scenery sporting nice sweaters
i think i like it downsouth palm trees, beaches nice weather
class bell ring school been dismissed so the dansal just head home
dudes spot her on the sidewalk ready for some nice dome
now she pregnant things move fast and she dropped out of school
boyfriend posted on the corner trying to sell dope, weed, and  tools

chorus:
its time to wake up 
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up 
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane

bridge: (rap)
its this twisted world of fate from the time that you birthed
this one pregnant, that one dead, they over there got a curse
this one homeless, that one broke, they over there selling drugs
this one heartless, that one smoked, they over there think they thugs
its this twisted world of fate from the time that you birthed
this one pregnant, that one dead, they over there got a curse
this one homeless, that one broke, they over there selling drugs
this one heartless, that one smoked, they over there think they thugs

chorus: 
its time to wake up 
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up 
its time to wake up
stop living in that fast lane living in that fast lane
its time to wake up
