I Woke Up This Morning

Raw, raw and rawer still -- blues like you like it.

[Interluede] Today's the day that everything changes One way or another It's important to me that you understand that [Intro: Purpose] I never been more ready I’m getting tired of telling ‘em already My Generation’s most anticipated If you don’t wanna get with the program Switch the station [Verse 1: Purpose] My 59Fifty Burgundy MY fear to fit me type sickly I love my life gritty, Since I’m about my business I’m busy But I still hold it down for the kids in my city I’m a menace to society, never let ‘em silence me Till I’m an AUS veteran like Bias B If you bring your girl around, you better keep your eye on me Unless you keep an eye on her, just bet she gonna slide with me Never been one for the pressures of sobriety Shit, I crash your party in an Ellipsis hoodie Your Gangstas gone bro, soft his milk and cookies For ten years I been chasing that feeling like “Caaa” Even despite a little hate I’m the realest by far Too ill to typecast, shit, don’t hate the game or player Just deal me my cards Fuck a one hit wonder, I’ll make you wonder how one hit Could instantly render me unfit for the public Drunk kick like a roundhouse, the rest is history Smell that *Sniff, Sniff* Smell like victory [Chorus] The last note has been sung, the day has finally come When I woke up this morning, today it smelt like victory Today it smelt like victory [Verse 2: Purpose]
Rappers used to get mad when I told ‘rm I’m the best, look I guess they came to terms with it like a textbook I got drive like I’m a lead foot, look at that I speed it up and cook it back like a meth cook Left foot, right foot, left hook, right hook This my life, another page out the rhyme book And it just trip us all, can’t be pigeonholed Success is the best form of revenge and my dish is cold I can’t say it enough pal, I P-P-Pushed through the politics Played for some tough crowds Sometimes I even thought that my patience would run out Like the buzz was a drug and I was waiting for the come down Brain feeling run down, See P we don’t take no shit So they label us tough now From stables to clubhouse, the place where I bust out Wild and train up the cubs now Mr T in the cut, yeah, what up Oars? I keep the cut raw like a buzzsaw I’m turning Hiphop back into a bloodsport Put my name in your rhyme and you’re fucking done for Rest in pieces, I pledge allegiance to every street I had to tread to see this I’m feeling blessed like Jesus Adelaide’s best kept secret, Ho! [Chorus] The last note has been sung, the day has finally come When I woke up this morning, today it smelt like victory Today it smelt like victory Its time to take this thing we got to the next level Slowly but surely I’ll uphold the foundations laid by those here before me Oh yeah, I’m gonna be the people’s champ, but I ain’t gonna be the champ the day that you want me to be the champ, Imma be the champ the way I wanna be I’ve travelled far and near my dear Made music for the world to hear Turn me up Turn me up [Chorus] The last note has been sung, the day has finally come When I woke up this morning, today it smelt like victory Today it smelt like victory Slowly but surely
