[Verse 1] I used to clock in neat and clean Now the badge alone makes me mean Paper forms? They fill me with rage I see a schedule, I start to wage The alarm goes off, I hiss, "How dare" My landlord says "good morning"—I glare A job? A cage with a timecard grin I file a complaint just looking in [Pre-Chorus] I got woke, I got sharp Now I throw shade at the dark If it's routine, I lose my cool If it's normal, I call it a tool [Chorus] Because I got woke, I got woke Now I can't cope, I can't cope I see a bath and I start a fight I see a shift and I black out white Because I got woke, I got woke I need a meeting, I need a smoke Everything plain makes my blood ignite I'm mad at sunrise, I'm mad all night [Verse 2] Soap on skin? That’s class warfare Fresh clean towels? A billionaire’s affair I stomp in the tub, I point and shout "This whole hygiene thing's too pointin' out" My toothbrush leans and I feel oppressed My own clean shirt is a bourgeois dress I stare at dishes in the sink like art Then march around with a broken heart [Pre-Chorus] I got woke, I got loud Now I boo the whole room crowd If it's calm, I make it rough If it's simple, it's not enough [Chorus] Because I got woke, I got woke Now I can't cope, I can't cope I see a bath and I start a fight I see a shift and I black out white Because I got woke, I got woke I need a meeting, I need a smoke Everything plain makes my blood ignite I'm mad at sunrise, I'm mad all night [Bridge] My mom said, "Sit down, eat" I said, "That's imperialist meat" My friend said, "Relax, don't yell" I said, "That phrase is a private hell" I can't enjoy a normal day Without a protest in my way Even my cereal got me steamed It had a spoon and that felt unredeemed [Chorus] Because I got woke, I got woke Now I can't cope, I can't cope I see a bath and I start a fight I see a shift and I black out white Because I got woke, I got woke I need a meeting, I need a smoke Everything plain makes my blood ignite I'm mad at sunrise, I'm mad all night
