Wide Awake in a Sleeping World

Lyrics

Verse 1
I’m wide awake
World tryna rock me to sleep
They say “you good
Just chase that bag”
But my soul still grindin its teeth
I’m so tired of “fake it till”
Fake friends
Fake love
Fake feels
Scrollin through lies like cheap pills
All of this shine
But who heals

Word of God on my nightstand
But they laugh when I quote that page
If you don’t trust that
That’s yo step
But don’t be shocked when you feel that cage
I seen suits with the scripture
On they lips
But the fruit don’t hit
Head of the state with a serpent smile
Whole game built on a twisted script

Chorus
I’m wide awake in a sleeping world
(yeah, yeah)
Tryna see the truth while it’s all blurred
If the Word ain’t real
What’s my hope then?
If you don’t believe
Still you feel that end
Put my flesh on a plate
Let my faith operate
I know grace gonna cover my stains
But the tab come due when the lights turn blue
And you can’t outrun that pain

Verse 2
Everywhere I look
More snakes
Handshakes feel like fangs
Say they love you when you up
Disappear when it all goes blank
If you hurtin
You in the right place
I been there
Tears in my pillowcase
Talkin to the ceiling like “You there?”
Echo in the dark
Same stare

Dealin with this weight on my chest
Call it stress
But it feel like less
Less joy
Less breath
Less time
I been wrestlin my own mind
But I ain’t settlin for half of me
I want Prime me
Past the tragedy
If they clown my faith
That’s fine
I’ma still rise up in due time (hey!)

Chorus
I’m wide awake in a sleeping world
(so wide awake)
Tryna see the truth while it’s all blurred
If the Word ain’t real
What’s my hope then?
If you don’t believe
Still you feel that end
Put my flesh on a plate
Let my faith operate
I know grace gonna cover my stains
But the tab come due when the lights turn blue
And you can’t outrun that pain

Bridge
Where can I see
The truth and the way?
Not in the screen
Or the talk-show stage
If I lose it all
But I keep my faith
Then I lose these chains
And I gain that grace

Chorus
I’m wide awake in a sleeping world
(yeah, I’m awake)
Tryna see the truth while it’s all blurred
If the Word ain’t real
What’s my hope then?
If you don’t believe
Still you feel that end
Put my flesh on a plate
Let my faith operate
I know grace gonna cover my stains
When the bill come due and the past runs through
I know love still calls my name
