Woke Lyrics by Dev The Follower

Self Discovery

2017

[verse 1]

Stay woke like a bat, I can’t trust nobody like that
The second your turn, the tables have turned and you have a knife in your back
Don’t fall for that shit, you'll fall in a trap
It’s only a game, they just want the fame, they playing like cat in the hat

I’m chasing this cheese like rat, speeding down 4, hope I don’t get a flat
I owe everything to my homie, ‘cause he lent me racks
That’s a true friend, I know he’s got my back

Fuck all these fake friends, I know they ain’t shit, they get on my nerves stepping on me like door mats
They claim to be friends but I wrote you 3 years ago so why you now just write me back?

[hook]

Stay woke, ‘cause people try to play you
Only trust the people that you know that would stay for you
Thank the man above for the gifts that He made for
Stay woke, ‘cause people try to play you

Homie, I’m ballin’… I’m just a student in college
I don’t got much knowledge but I know the world will keep on revolving
Packed with revolvers, 9 on my side ‘cause I am the shot caller
Can’t trust a soul that’s why I stay woke, if you talk shit then we will have some problems

[verse 2]

Putting in work, if you don’t like me then I’ll get the door
I’ll hold that shit open for hours for anyone who thinks that I can get sore
I’m hard to the core, grinding all my life but I don’t get bored
My lines in the water, I’m catching albacore, something I cannot afford
If you doubt me then I’ll send you down shit creek without an ore

The pen & the pad is gon’ vanish, the senate is panicking with everything that I say
I’m planning attack ‘cause I am an assassin, like Iraq I’m strapping and that is a fact
Fuck with me you get attacked the split second you step, you get wrecked, the war’s in full effect
I know you can’t beat me, no one has defeated me, call me I dare you, I’m all in on bets

[hook]

Stay woke, ‘cause people try to play you
Only trust the people that you know that would stay for you
Thank the man above for the gifts that He made for
Stay woke, ‘cause people try to play you

Homie, I’m ballin’… I’m just a student in college
I don’t got much knowledge but I know the world will keep on revolving
Packed with revolvers, 9 on my side ‘cause I am the shot caller
Can’t trust a soul that’s why I stay woke, if you talk shit then we will have some problems
