Description
A reminder with the drama of an alarm clock and the persistence of a neighbor knocking on the radiator: enough sleeping on the go. There is no room for drowsiness and excuses here - too much can slip by. Everything is presented on the verge of a joke and an ultimatum: either open your eyes or lose the best there was. And in this rhythm, you feel that very push that will not let you fall back into sweet sleepy apathy.

You better wake up (ooh yeah)
Before you lay your head on that pillow
The pillow yeah
You better wake- (ooh yeah)
Before we both get stuck in the middle
No no no, yeah
So, are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
You better wake up
You better wake up, oh
So, are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
You better wake up
You better wake up, oh
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake up, oh
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake up, oh
You better wake up
Baby don't go to sleep
You better wake up
Better face reality
You better wake
Up to the fact that
You're turning your back
On the best thing you ever had
And I want you to know that
So, are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
You better wake up
You better wake up, oh
So, are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
You better wake up
You better wake up, oh
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake up, oh
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake up, oh
Out the blocks to races
But in this race you hardly can pace this
Know we both played the game when we dated
But at this rate you're likely to waste this
Tryna hold back
Tryna play it cool like so bad
When deep down you know, just own that
You caught feelings like I was a throwback
Roll pon a riddim
Roll pon a riddim know
I know you've been hurt before
Gotta let it go
I told you a million times
When you got involved
That I ain't really tryna be
Like them other bro's
Nah
I'm already stepping up
On a big man flow
Dem boys a running outta luck
And if we're being honest girl
That's where you're getting stuck
So before you fall asleep
You'd better wake up, so
So, are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
You better wake up
You better wake up, oh
So, are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
You better wake up
You better wake up, oh
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake up, oh
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake
La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La
You better wake up
You better wake up, baby don't go to sleep
You better wake up, better face reality
You better wake up
You better wake up
Up to the fact that
You better wake
You're turning your back
You better wake up
On the best thing you ever had
You better wake
You better wake up, no
