Wake Up and Dream

from Wake Up and Dream (EP) by Akapela Jonz

lyrics

[Hook (2x)]
How could say such a thing
Paint such a scene
Life is full of color
Wake up and Dream
Things aint what they seem
It’s about more than green
Im all about my team
Wake up and dream

[Verse 1]
Think bigger now, Jonz out to get the dow.
Nasdaq and stock market, Rap Markus…Garvey
But hardly orthodox
Born to rock I reform the plot, the norm is not
To aim where they thought I’d stop
Through the storm and the rain
All long I’ve fought
Got a lot ‘fore I drop
Gotta be on top, cream of the crop
Rise!!!
We in the high rise, livin the high lives
Scrapin the clouds, you never takin’ me down
Until God say
So I pray a halo cover my crown, Til I lay my head down
To rest I need a few hours, recoup power
Who now wanna test the truth, Scour the globe
Guaranteed, you’ll never find another
Brand of this kinda brotha
I broke the mold and every story told is so Pulitzer

[Hook (2x)]

[Verse 2]
Wanted to be a rock star and record all day
But mama say the life me need a 401k
Corner office and a corporate desk
So now im just another young man
Trying to slave for a check
Back ache and stressed
Other than by break and lunch time
I hate the rest
Over time I found that overtime wasn’t worth it
And it’s a fact
Your boss…always a jerk
When I finally realized
He just like me
Cause he just tryin to be
But not what he wanted to be
I decided for me that couldn’t be an option
Thought to be relentless, “Said nothing can stop him”
Even if you dropped him
I was born to ball, take my shot front of all of ya'll
Watch me bounce back game on the line
Make the crowd clap
And while my dreams steady coming to life
You can find me losing sleep seeing something to write

[Hook (2x)]
