Awake Lyrics by Helms Deep

In Defense of the Dark Art

2013

In the present state, you’ve gotta stay awake
Keep your eyes open
Uh!
[Verse 1: Helms Deep]

I’m finally Awake for God’s sake
Left my state to discover something great
Elated by half-lives trying to relate
But concept’s much deeper
They waiting for the sequel
See I could push a Regal or a Jetta with a see-through
But I connect through the people
Friends and Phonetics…
That’s how I get a re-do
But I’m done talking, rapping’s what I do
But I don’t do it on command
So that might have fired back on you
Toxins in my system like I’m cleaning up the Forrest
Whitaker reminds me to stay glorious in Chorus
The brother in me comes out prosperous
Mono-tone Style, the 90’s in me
Ronald Reagan Era
Deep respectin Section 80
But I’m pixelated like 7D
Stories broken 6 Feet Deep
I’ve got 5 on it, but I’m left in defeat
Old E’s the only 40, and there’s only one C3
But I never fell asleep, guess it’s the Nas in me
Spirit growing like the Cali Redwood Tree
The Cousin of death strikes the closest seeds
(Cause Sleep is the Cousin of Death)

[Hook: Helms Deep]
This a peace for the Republic
But y’all probably gonna shun it
One year to this day, Nolan got a drumkit
I stay half-asleep and always Awake
Third-Eye blinded, trying
To leave this state
I’m Awake…
I’m Awake…
I’m Awake…

Yeah

[Verse 2: Helms Deep]
I said man, we gonna teach em lessons
Revamp the game, and keep em asking questions
Answer through the music
It’s an honor and a blessing
Benedictine, like the Pope I’m droppin a 16
First got inspired when I was just a sick teen
Kept in hospital beds, held in by IVs
They gave me ‘roids, so I could stay half-sleep, (Overnight)
But they never wore off, kept tapping my feet
Multiplied by deaths that left me complacent
Homies evicted from this planet
Others come and go like I’m just flipping through channels
So I upgrade to HD and establish the reunion
I’ve got no ego cause I’m not always consuming
Materials the drug we’ve all been preluded
So find happiness in people, instead of the drugs you shooting
(Put the needle down)

[Hook 2: Helms Deep]

This a peace for the Republic
But y’all probably gonna shun it
One year to this day, Nolan got a drumkit
I stay half-asleep and always Awake
Third-Eye blinded, trying
To leave this state
I’m Awake…
I’m Awake…

[Ad-libs: Helms Deep/Doc Mcfly]
Yeah
Third-Eye blinded, trying
To leave this state
I’m Awake
I’m Awake
That’s Josh Thornton on the skins
Doc Mcfly in HD
Keep your eyes open
