Daylight, I wake up feeling like you won’t play right
I used to know but now, that sh** don’t feel right
It made me put away my pride

So long, you made a ni*** wait for some, so long
You make it hard for a boy like that to go on
I′m wishing I could make this mine, oh

If you want it (Yeah)
You can have it (Oh, oh, oh)
If you need it (Ooh)
We can make it, oh
If you want it, you can have it

But stay woke, ni**** creepin’
They gon’ find you, gon′ catch you sleepin′
Ooh, now stay woke, ni**** creepin’
Now don’t you close your eyes

Too late
You wanna make it right, but now it’s too late
My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid
I′m trying not to waste my time

If you want it (Oh)
You can have it (You can have it)
If you need it (You better believe in something)
We can make it, oh
If you want it (You can have it), aah!

But stay woke, ni**** creepin’
They gon′ find you, gon’ catch you sleepin’
(Put your hands up on me)
Now stay woke, ni**** creepin′
Now don’t you close your eyes

But stay woke (Ooh), ni**** creepin’
They gon′ find you, gon’ catch you sleepin′
Ooh, now stay woke, ni**** creepin’
Now don’t you close your eyes

How’d it get so scandalous? Oh
How’d it get so scandalous? Oh

Oh, baby, how′d it get…
How′d it get so scandalous?
How’d it get so scandalous?
But stay woke, but stay woke
