Well there's this friend that I got, thought he always had me back but recently he be proving me wrong.
How many time he tried fe say that today he gonna change but still yet he sing the same old song.
He's trying to live a thug's life in Hawaii kai, Brethren what ya think ya doing?
Ya pretty much got a wife, two kids on the side, gotcha girl going insane.

Now as your times start to get rough,
And ya feel your losing love,
It's cause you never took the time to trust,
the one and only man above. (My friend you gotta wake up)

You gotta wake up brother open your eyes.
(yeah you gotta wake up)
You gotta wake up it's time you realize.
(ooh yeah you gotta wake up)
You gotta wake up brother open your eyes.
(yeah you gotta wake up)
You gotta wake up it's time you realize.
(second verse)
Now mister man I'll tell ya this, well Jesus Christ isnt wrong with this, this life you living wasn't meant for you.
It shouldn't have to feel this way but when you play the games you play, sooner or later boy you gonna lose.
You wake up you get high, out drinking all night, Brethren what you think you doing?
You got me wondering why, praying to god you're alive, got your boys going insane.
