Wakeup Call


Gurl when are you gonna realize 

The only thing you say are lies

Why can't we reach a compromise?

You actually wanna chill that's a surprise

I gotta consult my homie, ride or die

Too much pressure, it's getting heavy

I know now I'm 100 percent ready

This time I'll take the shot no hesitation

You always use silly words like inebriation

I care for you more than anyone

Let's enjoy this time we have while we're young

You express doubt, I have faith

Time spent well, you're worth the wait

I need more talking, seriously conversate

Right now your lifes hard? I can relate

But it's really sad the things people say about you

Talk behind your back to me, if only you knew

Gurl I'm actually real, not fake, straight up

Everyone else you talk to says you're a play slut

You start drinkin, instantly easy

Wake up, start askin questions, better believe me

I'm a great friend and you're gonna treat me like shit

I would tell you what others say let me break out the list

That's embarrassing, do something different

I comfort you wow what a wasted time spent

Just wake up no one wants your two cents

After all this I don't think I want to be friends
