Omega McBride - I'm Up

Wake Up, get up
Jump up, start it up

Wake Up, put on my clothes
Get up, it's time to go
Jump up into my car
Start it up & let's roll

I got people to see
I got places to be
I got Me & my team
As I'm chasing my dreams

Wake Up, put on my clothes
Get up, it's time to go
Jump up into my car
Start it up & let's roll
I got people to see
I got places to be
I got Me & my team

As I'm chasing my dreams
Wake up

Come out driving with me
In a speed traffic city
Go no faster than a hippie
Traffic iffy, high or tipsy

Send me to another Solar system
I will do the same things
That I have accomplished, here
Even without a brain

Tamе Tony, Tiki, Toto, Tim
Toledo & Tremaine
But don't try to put mе in a cage
I'm ahead of the game
Pain pimping people, purposely
So performance is lame
Popping pills, problems still
Populate us on the plane, dang
Get up, go to work
Return, then go to bed so hurt
We learn to put up with our dirt
And flirt with what could really work
You jerk


Show & tell
Then, go to Hell
Smell the flowers bloom
What if I'm never offered a deal
Because I am so cool
Swimming in a pool with sharks around
While I'm preparing food
And above the ground are artists growling
Feeding you their tool

Kinda cruel when you think about it
If not for our will
Granted to us
Freely focusing on what is truly real

Wake Up, put on my clothes
Get up, it's time to go
Jump up into my car
Start it up & let's roll
I got people to see
I got places to be
I got Me & my team
As I'm chasing my dreams
Wake up

Peter Piper picked a peck of
Puerto Rican Pickled Peppers
Plenty women get attention
Being hella cleavage clever
Beauty's in the brains
Hanging in the middle lane
Shame showing on the face of folks
And no one takes the blame
Fame gets into the veins
Bringing sprains with the pains
Kinda funny how you prolly don't even know what I'm saying
It just might do me some good if I keep it simple and plain
Plaid prints upon my shirt cause I thought the Zebras was lame


You might say the music that I'm putting out is different from before
What if I told you it's not different but that you just didn't know

My goal focus on the ones who didn't notice
Sun and moon upon his shoulders
Bogus workers on these posters

Go for something as synthetic
As a dummy while it's standing
We support and give it merit
Chew it up and call it Garrett's

Kinda crazy when you think about it
We reject what's real but what's real to you
May Not be what somebody else can feel

Wake Up, put on my clothes
Get up, it's time to go
Jump up into my car
Start it up & let's roll

I got people to see
I got places to be

I got Me & my team
As I'm chasing my dreams
Wake up

I never had much
Call it little or nothing
Had a lot of Temptations, though
David Ruffin

Living off in the hood
I could've pushed bricks
Rocking my afro & pick
Hitting a bunch of licks

My neighbors my color me dummy
Cause my money was funny
Donated them speakers in my trunk
To who took em that morning


Not to mention my limited edition sneakers
I guess they were thinking they were theirs
But finders keepers

They took my tweeters
Dope fiends and woman beaters
In need of Jesus
Maybe I should speed up the meter

Donated some clothes and a video camera
Two hats, trifling, a brother could've had dandruff

The Ghetto's not a place
Issa state of mind and if you stayed in mine
You might turn away and run

So how bout you go ahead and play
Have fun
Ima be working til I'm gray and done
