Andre Nickatina - Awake Like An Owl Lyrics
What time is it!!!This is one of those, A1-Yola raps.. Stick in ya mind, stick in ya mind,stick in ya mind...When you up all niteYou see things you shouldn't have sawCuz the nite gets rawDrama is thicker than Skippys peanut butterImagine worried thoughts of a young man's motherFeelin's empty, Love don't live here anymoreAwake like an owl at a quarter to fourDon't blink, A Caddy just ran a red lightBumpin' thug lifeAnd I blend(?) with the niteThey call me greedy...(?) to get a gurl a beatyIt's Andre NickatinaI'm like a genie in a beanieAmarato 88 Cadillac, all blackCopy cats try to matchBut they style ain't exactly the sameSomebody said "Freeze it's a raid"You know cops are comin' when a brotha smellsGlazed doughnutsHold upI'ma fill it to the rimMe and money go together like a feather in a brimI'm a magician...(?) but I ain't trippin'A gurl be yellin...(?) I don't listenCrooked crowPlayas seem to like my styleWhy's that killa whale?[Chorus]I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!(What are ya baby?)I'm a RaiderCamouflaged in silver and the blackTryin' to blitz through the line for a quarter back sackOf the moneyI dress like it's cold, Not sunnyBut slyer than an urgent fox tryin' to catch a bunnyIn the snowI'm try'na get paid like a hoOr better yet the pimp that's rakin' in her doughLike a bakerBut check it, who's the king of the caine?And what's that tiga's name with the Macintosh computer brain mindOr should I say mineSometimes I gotta lie to protect my crimeI call my lawyer!Bail bonds keep me on the streetsThree in the mornin' I'm at the club with the freaksBut I got hawk eyeMeanin' that the joint is bein' watchedDrinkin' with the killas that be pushin' up the costFor the drought season...(?) season...(?) up they bestBut those be the ones that don't have to restLike an owl...Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!I set a trapI have to spin a web like a spiderDon't strike matches, hate child proof lightersStay awakeQuick(?) as I pick up the paceFirst I see a gurl's butt, then I look at her faceI can't explainI'm eatin' garlic bread with the steak... (????) ....Brothas droppin' cream by the fiends when they partI'm like a sentinelKnown to be the principal originalLookin' for the road that made it...(?)Call it federal, I'm a generalBut yet at times I blaze with my lieutenantPopeye, no more blunts(?), who got the spinach...(?) choke, feelin' no remorse for the roachChoppin' up freaks as ya lounge with your folksPlayin' dice, you take a chance at the crap(?) gameIt's all about the money baby, it's the rap gameAnd I'm an owl...Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!Uh... And I'm outUh, ShitIt's a planned emergency, (It's a planned emergency)It's a planned emergency, (It's a planned emergency)What, STOP!
