[00:13.24]As soon as I wake up
[00:19.02]
[00:20.50]I'm going to change my ways
[00:33.75]
[00:35.67]Because the music's my savior
[00:40.83]And no one can take my pain
[00:46.16]Except for this paper
[00:49.26]The page flows like rain
[00:52.09]As soon as I wake up
[00:55.01]I'm going to change my ways
[00:57.49]Instead of staying the same
[00:58.96]Because I see better days ahead of me
[01:00.88]I paint them on the page
[01:02.13]Then I save them for the rainy ones
[01:03.80]When anger and the anguish want to hang around
[01:05.92]I say em outloud and complain to them
[01:08.13]I figure I'm made to live and haven't gone that far
[01:10.58]But I made it here so if there is a god I give thanks to him
[01:14.06]Then I take a pen and make amends again
[01:16.20]The only way I know to repent
[01:17.80]I know somebody listenin
[01:18.98]Dear god I'm so thankful for you keeping my plate full
[01:22.03]The struggles heartache pain the progress and the breakthrough
[01:24.84]
[01:25.43]Every single track has made who I am to this day
[01:28.12]Prove this page is the only way to paint you
[01:30.82]But lately it's like my soul feels counterfeits
[01:33.37]Scared to pick up the pen to see what the hell might come out of it
[01:36.13]So god grant me the serenity without giving me the christianing
[01:38.72]Because all I ever needed was a beat and people listening
[01:41.91]Step cousins
[01:42.52]
[01:43.10]As soon as I wake up
[01:45.48]I'm going to change my ways
[01:48.44]Because the music's my savior
[01:51.12]And no one can take my pain
[01:53.91]Except for this paper
[01:56.93]The page flows like rain
[01:59.82]As soon as I wake up
[02:02.57]I'm going to change my ways
[02:05.24]Instead of rotting away and plotting my grave hiding in a bottomless shame
[02:09.68]I found a way to fight my way out and see the light of day
[02:12.53]And proud to say I took the safe route but there's a price to pay
[02:15.24]They like to keep my name in they mouth and tell lies on me
[02:18.28]What you see is what you get truth in the flesh homie
[02:21.10]You can do the rest I'm through with trying to prove myself to you
[02:24.17]I'll see you when you wake up hope the feeling is mutual
[02:26.80]Now for artists and musicians you see the target's to list
[02:29.64]To the heart inscripts with no margins no limits
[02:32.28]To make to pain strengths and rays a part of the picture
[02:35.25]And can bathe in every shade and take it further and vivid
[02:38.04]They're going to say what they say
[02:40.07]The and whatever the dj plays they mark and they gimik
[02:43.64]But I've got a path to follow and along with the distance I realize I'm already awake
[02:48.06]I'm just starting to live it my language
[02:49.66]
[02:50.94]As soon as I wake up
[02:53.28]I'm going to change my ways
[02:56.35]Because the music's my savior
[02:58.93]And no one can take my pain
[03:01.76]Except for this paper
[03:04.85]The page flows like rain
[03:07.66]As soon as I wake up
[03:10.23]I'm going to change my ways
