WIZEN UP '14

VERSE I
CARDS WAS DEALT, NOW ITS UP TO US TO PLAY EM,
CHIPS ON THE TABLE, SO HOW WE GONE TAKE EM.
KEEP THE POKER FACE, FUCK WHAT THE NEXT MAN GOT
FOCUSED ON MY NEXT PLAY, CUZ I KNOW MY HANDS HOT
DONT WANT THE HOLE POT, JUST WANT SOME OF IT
MAKE THE WRONG PLAY, YOU WINT GET NONE OF IT.
MY VISION AINT TUNNELING, PEEPIN' THE WHOLE SCENE,
SEEIN' NIGGAS BLUFFIN', IM SEEIN' THE WHOLE THING.
STAKES GETTING HIGH AND THE PLAYERS GETTING DESPERATE
CAN'T WIN EM ALL, DEALER'S SENDIN' OUT A MESSAGE.
KEEP YA HANDS TUCKED, EVERYBODY GOT THE SAME GOAL.
NOT FOR THE WEAK. IF YOU WEAK, YOU MIGHT FOLD,
AT THE WRONG TIME, BEFORE THE MIRACLE HAPPENS.
YOU FOCUSED ON THE WAITRESS AND THE DRINKS ON THE NAPKIN
NOTHINGS ON THE HOUSE, GOTTA PAY FOR IT SOME WAY.
SO, I PAY DUES, IT'LL COME BACK TO ME.

HOOK X4
IT DON'T PAY TO HATE, DON'T PAY TO BE FAKE.
IF WE CAN'T RELATE, WHEN YOU GONNA WISEN UP?

VERSE II
JEALOUSY'S A WEAK EMOTION AND SO IS ENVY
SOME BORN WIT IT, NOT AN OUNCE OF IT IS IN ME
DON'T HAVE FRIENIMIES, I KEEP A TIGHT SHIP
FOLKS THAT HELP ME GET A GRIP, WHEN THEY SEE I'M BOUT SLIP.
HATE TO SEE YOU SHINE, THOSE THE CRABS IN A BARREL.
HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT THEY REALLY OUT THERE YO.
HEARTS AUTHENTIC, NO BREAKIN', NO BENDIN'
IF I SAY IT THEN I MEANT IT, ALL FACTS, NOTHIN' PENDIN'
A MAN OF MY OWN, GOT MY OWN SPINE HOMIE
TOOK A LONG TIME FOR ME TO WEED OUT THE PHONY'S.
NOTHING'S GUARANTEED COUNT THE BLESSINGS THAT WE GOT.
LIFE'S TALES COULD BE LONG AND BEAUTIFUL LIKE A PEACOCK.
TRUTH HURTS JUST ASK THE PEOPLE WHO HATE
HATE TO SEE YOU SHINE, MIGHT SMILE IN YOUR FACE.
I DO A LOT BETTER, NOW THE RATS COME OUT.
THEY TALK SHIT LIKE THEY JUST DID ASS-TO-MOUTH.

HOOK X4
IT DON'T PAY TO HATE, DON'T PAY TO BE FAKE.
IF WE CAN'T RELATE, WHEN YOU GONNA WISEN UP?

Verse III
THIS IS FOR THE FAKE, AND THOSE WHO TEND TO HATE,
ADJUST YOUR MENTAL STATE, NO NEED TO DEMONSTRATE,
THE FACT THAT YOU WACK, AND THE PLACE THAT YOU AT,
IN YA LIFE AINT RIGHT AND YOU HATE TO SEE LIGHT,
SHINE ON AN OTHERS HEAD,
YOU AIN'T GETTING BREAD
AND INSTEAD OF TRYNNA GET IT,
YOU MAKE IT YOUR LIFE MISSION
TO BRING MISERY COMPANY
SEE YOU ON A HUNT FOR ME,
SCHEMEIN' WIT THE FUCKERY.
LEECHIN' OFF OF THE LUXURY.
3RD EYE OPEN, SO I STAY SCOPIN'
PUTTING SPOTLIGHT ON THE RATS AND ROACHES.
MORE LIKE PARASITES, NEED TO WISEN UP
I SHINE ENOUGH, BOUT TO GET MY GRINDING UP.
BUILDIN' MY MIND UP, KEEPING MY LAWN CUT
DON'T DEAL WITH THE FAKE SHIT, CAN'T DEAL WIT THE FAKE STUFF.
YOU SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT, DON'T DO WHAT I DO.
STOP HATIN' ON ME, FOCUS ON A BETTER YOU.

HOOK X4
IT DON'T PAY TO HATE, DON'T PAY TO BE FAKE.
IF WE CAN'T RELATE, WHEN YOU GONNA WISEN UP?
