Lancey Foux – WAKE UP / I’M ALIVE Lyrics

WAKE UP / I’M ALIVE Lyrics By Lancey Foux

As the last song of his LIFE IN HELL project, using an African beat is not a surprise for Lancey’s fans. It clearly represents his character, which is logical in a song where he enumerates the things only he would do for him.
BNYX and Foux have been collaborating for some years now, first official releases together being on cultcaine.com in 2019.
BNYX is a versatile producer who already did African type beats before this, a yeat Senegalese remix on Twitter for instance

[Part I: WAKE UP]

[Intro]
Uh, uh-uh
Uh, uh-uh
Uh, uh-uh (Yeah-yeah-yeah, like no other)
Uh, uh-uh
Uh, uh-uh (Yeah)
Wake up, live like no other
Wake up, yeah, live like no other

[Verse]
I give a limb to my brother, do a bid for my mother
I’m as big as my papa, yeah-yeah
I’ma win for my sister, live like no other
I’m keepin’ love inside my spirit and my soul
The devil tryna make me feel like I’m alone
And I’m guilty, I let him take control
Hadn’t even given attention to the host
When I see Leomie’s face, I know, yeah-yeah
I know
I see my son’s face and he ain’t even born
I see my daughter’s face and she ain’t even born
Just to see ’em, I’mma stay alive, yeah
Fallin’ in love with me until you die, yeah
I show my wrongs before I show I’m right, yeah
If I ain’t honest, then who am I? Yeah
I made a promise and I’m doin’ mine, wake up, oh
Live like no other
Wake up, yeah, live like no other
Wake up, live like no other, yeah, yeah
Wake up, yeah, yeah, live like no other

[Part II: I’M ALIVE]

[Intro]
(BNYX)
Yeah
[Chorus]
Who gonna be there when I need to ride and need strength on my side? (Me)
Who gonna be there to check on my bullshit, put me to the side? (Me)
Who gonna be there when I might not tell the truth? Who never gon’ lie to me?
Who gonna be there at my highest to hide in the day that I die? (Me)
Who gonna remind me where I come from? (Me)
Who gonna design my life the way I want? (Me)
Who gonna take all my problems and make me face it? (Me)
Who gonna tell me I’m the greatest? (Me), yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah (Hey)
African man, you can tell by the way that I stand in the way, that I, ayy, ayy, ayy
Top of the mountain, you silence my sound, I cannot take any va-cay’-cay’-cay’
Slaughter of the lamb, eat with my hands, make sure the stew is, pe-pe-pe
Right foot, left foot, step-ep-ep, right foot, left foot, step-ep-ep
I get on my knees and double my hands, I pray to the moon
King of my spirit, they start movin’ different when I’m in the room
Blood in the eyes of my soldier, blood in the eyes of my goons
I just got wiser and older, I know before I assume
I just cut everyone off if I’m one, then how could I lose?
I broke up with love because love don’t let you choose
They gonna be in the air wishin’ ’til you fall, pitiful (Hey)

[Chorus]
Who gonna be there when I need to ride and need strength on my side? (Me)
Who gonna be there to check on my bullshit, put me to the side? (Me)
Who gonna be there when I might not tell the truth? Who never gon’ lie to me?
Who gonna be there at my highest to hide in the day that I die? (Me)
Who gonna remind me where I come from? (Me)
Who gonna design my life the way I want? (Me)
Who gonna take all my problems and make me face it? (Me)
Who gonna tell me I’m the greatest? (Me), yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
(Chyeah)
Who badder than the baddest
Who keep a kitchen stabber? Who ridin’ with the baddie? (Hey)
Who gonna make it matter? Who gonna make it matter? (Me)
I’m in too deep, got the best of me
I’m in too deep, got the best of me
I could die if I sleep, ’cause I live in my dreams
Who else could I be? If you only see me
Who else could I be? If I only see me

[Chorus]
Who gonna be there when I need to ride and need strength on my side? (Me)
Who gonna be there to check on my bullshit, put me to the side? (Me)
Who gonna be there when I might not tell the truth? Who never gon’ lie to me?
Who gonna be there at my highest to hide in the day that I die? (Me)
Who gonna remind me where I come from? (Me)
Who gonna design my life the way I want? (Me)
Who gonna take all my problems and make me face it? (Me)
Who gonna tell me I’m the greatest? Yeah, yeah
