0:00Wake Me When I'm Dead - The Brand New Heavies/Masta Ace
0:22Oh what a night yo that I just been through
0:24I barely made it home from this hip-hop venue
0:26These 2 guys no 3 guys no fourth yo this posse
0:29Try to fake a move and bumrush me like a Nazi
0:32Underground club where the kids are like rolling
0:34I almost got an avalance dropped on my show and
0:36'Cause I writes the fat raps and kids memorize 'em
0:38I tries 'em this freestyle and boy did I surprise 'em
0:41They said yo that's too hype yo who's he think he is
0:44He suppose to be commercial like that song about the Biz
0:46The kid said ""Masta Ace yo what's the deal wit the switching ""
0:48He's bitching didn't like the rap I was pitching
0:50You see he was a rapper wit a single about to drop
0:53His record label told him that he had to make it pop
0:55Take it from me Jack you're sadly mistaken
0:57Alot of record labels been trying to get the bacon
0:59By making a brother into something he is not and
1:02You're better of and dammer on a farm picking cotton
1:04They mold ya and shape ya they bend and they twist ya
1:07They get paid like quick fast and that's when they dis ya
1:09So homeboy you're better off coming from the heart
1:11And letting the kids put your record on the chart
1:13You must use your head and forget what they said
1:15'Cause in about a year you'll be like wake me when I'm dead
1:21(Wake up) The Masta the Ace and the Brand New
1:22The Heavies
1:28If this was an opera I'll probably say Figaro
1:30Black kid from Brooklyn but don't call me Ni**a tho'
1:33I rocks the jams for the young population
1:35I wonder I wonder can I change the nation
1:37It's futile so I try yes hoping yea maybe
1:39But I can't sit home and write Ice Ice Baby
1:42'Cause if it comes down to I must have a pocket
1:44I go get a dayjob and rapping I'll stop it
1:46I'm never going out so yo firm I am standing
1:49'Cause my jams are fat like a cop named Canon
1:51My rap is for the mind it's nutritious
1:53My word is final devinyl and delicious
1:55So face it as if it was a hot fudge sundae
1:58Or I'll come get mine I guess maybe one day
2:00I gotta work hard and must use my head
2:03You'll never hit the point I'm saying wake me when I'm dead
2:08(Wake up) The Masta the Ace and the Brand New
2:09The Heavies
2:24Wake me when I'm dead hey yo wake me when I'm dead
2:26This life is like a nightmare I'm gonna lose my head
2:28So I make the jam that'll make me feel better
2:30I hear alot of groups that come cheesier than cheddar
2:32But this jam is well bulit like '57 Chevies
2:35The Masta the Ace and the Brand New the Heavies
2:37So weigh this on ya underground scaling
2:40We be prevailing while others be failing
2:42I'm hailing from Brooklyn and I strive for the ends
2:44But I don't need a Beemer and I don't need a Benz
2:47Still I got respect for the style I'll be choosing
2:49Rapping to the soul kind of jazz like confusion
2:51I'm cruising not for a bruising but I'll break up
2:54Anything that's broiling like an LA Laker
2:56So I rocks the West Coast as well as the city yo
2:58I got crazy flavor like a PE video
3:01Plus I got alot of um skill and that's word doc
3:03With battle who me G
3:04You're crazier than Murdoch
3:05Instead of confronting
3:06You oughta be checking
3:07The time 'cause it's wasting second after second
3:09You're so busy ripping and daring kids to shoot ya
3:12According to the Jetsons
3:13There's no blacks in the future
3:14You better wake up before you're in over your head
3:16Tomorrow
3:17You'll be screaming wake me when I'm dead
3:21(Wake up) The Masta the Ace and the Brand New
3:23The Heavies
