Wake Up

Why you woke up this morning?
              Was it because the alarm went off
              And you snooze it;half-sleepy and yawning

              Or was it cause you had to go to work
              And do that 9 to 5
              Just living check to check
              Just trying to stay alive

              But that's basic,daily,simple things
              We all do that
              Just trying to get that money
              So we could go back

              To our families and wives
              To our paradises and lifes
              To wake up in the morning,to
              see your wife with a smile
              And she say good morning baby
              I'm bout to wake up in a while
              And you go wake up your kids for school
              And they all say WHY!!!!!

              And then you get dress and drink a Five Hour Energy
              And your wife comes in and then she kiss you gently
              Saying I'll see you when you get home
              Cause she's a work-at-home mom,selling products over the phone.

              And then you kiss her back
              And then you walk out the door
              Thinking this the reason I wake up.
