Song Lyrics

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, he'd say
That today he's 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
Gotch'ya girl going insane

Now as your times start to get rough
And ya feel you're 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

Now mister man, I'll tell ya this
Well, Jesus Christ isn't 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

Now as your times start to get rough
And ya feel you're 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

You gotta wake up, brother, open your eyes
You gotta wake up, it's time you realize
You gotta wake up, brother, open your eyes
You gotta wake up, it's time you realize

Now mister man, I'll tell ya this
Well, Jesus Christ isn't 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

Now as your times start to get rough
And ya feel you're 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

You gotta wake up, brother, open your eyes
You gotta wake up, it's time you realize
You gotta wake up, brother, open your eyes
You gotta wake up, it's time you realize
