"Wake Up" as told
by Swag.A.Persona
______________________________________________________________

This track is the first North Star collaborative effort. The tracks stars Goldchild, Stori Brooks, & Myself. Once again I was young & dumb and forgot the sample, but I do remember the LP, lol; if I saw it.

I remember it like it were yesterday. I had my own personal studio at my apt in Morrisville, NC at an apartment complex called Bexley. Man I loved that place. It was beautiful all around, absolutely Gorgeous!! Me, Goldchild, & Stori Brooks were just lounging around, I believe we were eating pizza. Then Goldchild came up with the Idea.

Just invision the idea of only having a certain amount of time left. What are the ideas you would love to leave behind to the ones who will come after you. Hey stop, I'm just another victim of the clock!

Equipment used: PC, (Audio Interface) M-Audio Firewire 410, (Microphone) Sterling Audio ST77 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone.

Talking (Goldchild)
Yeah, Get em baby, Get em, Ooo I love that
LL Cool J, Ladies love cool james
Go head touch the clock...

Chorus 1 (Goldchild)
Hey stop, I'm jus another victim of the clock
Watching the time pass, thinking I'm missing out
Wow damn, another day, seems like I just laid my head
before setting the clock now I'm awake.
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tock

Verse 1 (Goldchild)
Another day, another dollar, seems like it was just yesterday
before court, thinking about fees I can't pay
Needs I can't take care of, nowhere to go job slow, cash slow
what I ate for breakfast, didn't last long, so I'm fasting
ran home, a blunt rolled, Windows Media Player beats
already load in,that day went kinda fast, but it was hectic,
but I live to the next shit look at the clock, its 4 mins. after 7,
most definite, Swagga produce the beat
I was home thinking how all I need is a source of heat,
and more fire, Friday picking out my attire,
other niggas fighting temptation, I should be home writing
Thinking about Saturday, The Present my Future looking Foggy
To much Hennessy my mom calling, it's getting late
before I turn over, I play this tape,
dream of my nieces face, laugh & wake up please Uncle James,

Chorus 2 (Goldchild)
Hey stop, I'm jus another victim of the clock
Watching the time pass, thinking I'm missing out
Wow damn, another day, seems like I just laid my head
before setting the clock now I'm awake.
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tock

Verse 2 (Stori Brooks)
(wheeewwww hew)
Yea, really, how could you live my life,
how could you school me on shit, could you live my life
Imma be the way I am because it feels that fly
& you can hate the way I am but you can't change me now, naw
Its so easy, important to stay breezy, each day the world needs me, but I stay greasy,
the style is so easy dont force a thang, its like the way I wil mash cuz the reaction it brings, its like a
Hard work if you wil, its a full time job to keep from aping fa real
and I aint tryna have nobody's family reading your will,
so catch a kite, and meet your girl, I'm up on blueberry hill
yeah, & you aint gotta get geeked, just get real
see a lot of things aint that important, and thats real
time flies when you talk about them talks, and bills
what you gon do when that hour glass fills?

Chorus 3 (Goldchild)
Hey stop, I'm jus another victim of the clock
Watching the time pass, thinking I'm missing out
Wow damn, another day, seems like I just laid my head
before setting the clock now I'm awake.
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tock

Verse 3 (7thSoana)
Ms. Sunday, the one day, I got before Monday
I gotta take my ass to work, no blunt until Tuesday
Hooray, I made it to the middle of the week,
Thursday she is a fool, so Friday I made this beat,
and I chilled the whole Saturday, now Ms. is back again
but this time, she came back wit a couple friends
March 23rd & December 25th, I guess I am the future so I open up the gift
and guess what's inside, a cat wit 9 lives
8 reasons, for 7 niggas to jump in ya ride
You see the hunger in my eyes, the thoughts on my mind
I put it down on paper and press rewind twice,
since niggas so hard, ungh, I gotta make em light
I think fast, & break fast, & then I'm out of site
Out of mind, out of skin, out of strife, out of life (Pow)
you can't bring a mic to a gunfight.

Chorus 4
Hey stop, I'm jus another victim of the clock
Watching the time pass, thinking I'm missing out
Wow damn, another day, seems like I just laid my head
before setting the clock now I'm awake.
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tock
