Oh, what a night, yo, that I just through I barely made it home from this hip-hop These two guys, no three guys, no four, yo, posse Try to fake a move and bum rush me like a
club where the kids are like rolling I got an avalance dropped on my shoulders 'Cause I writes the fat raps and memorize 'em I tries 'em, this and boy, did I surprise 'em
said, "Yo, that's too hype, yo, who's he think he is?" He's supposed to be commercial like that about the biz The kid said "Masta Ace, yo, what's the wit the switching?" He's bitching, didn't the rap I was pitching
You see, he was a rapper wit a single about to His record label told him that he had to it pop Take it from me, Jack, you're mistaken A lot of labels been trying to get the bacon
By making a brother into he is not And you're off and farming on a farm picking cotton They mold ya and shape ya, bend and they twist ya They get paid quick fast and that's when they dish ya
So homeboy, you're better off from the heart And the kids put your record on the chart You must use your head and forget what said 'Cause in a year, you'll be like, "Wake me when I'm dead"
(Wake up) The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the (Wake up) The Masta, the Ace and the New, the Heavies
If this was an opera, I'll say, 'Figaro' kid from Brooklyn but don't call me nigga though I rocks the jams for the young I wonder, I wonder, can I change the
futile, so I try, yes, hoping, yeah, maybe But I can't sit and write, 'Ice, Ice Baby' 'Cause if it comes to, I must have a pocket I go get a day job and rapping, stop it
I'm never out, so, yo, firm I am, standing my jams are fat like a cop named Canon My rap is for the mind, nutritious My word is final, the final is
So face it as if it was a hot fudge Or come get mine, I guess maybe one day I gotta work hard and must use my never hit the point, I'm saying, "Wake me when I'm dead"

Wake me when I'm dead, hey yo, wake me when I'm This life is like a nightmare, I'm gonna my head So I make the jam that'll me feel better I hear a lot of groups come cheesier than cheddar
But this jam is well like '57 Chevies The Masta, the Ace and the Brand New, the So this on ya underground scaling We be prevailing while be failing
I'm from Brooklyn and I strive for the ends But I don't need a Beamer and I don't a Benz Still I get respect for the style I'll be Rapping to the soul kind of like confusion
I'm cruising not for a but I'll break up Anything that's broiling like an LA So I rocks the Coast as well as the city, yo I got flavor like a PE video
Plus I got a lot of um, and that's word doc With battle, who me, G? You're than Murdoch of confronting, you oughta be checking The 'cause it's wasting, second after second
You're so busy ripping and kids to shoot ya According to the Jetsons, there's no in the future You better wake up before you're in your head Tomorrow, be screaming, "Wake me when I'm dead"
