Redbone Song Lyrics by Donald Glover
DaylightI wake up feeling like you won’t play rightI used to know, but now that shit don’t feel rightIt made me put away my pride
So longYou made a nigga wait for some, so longYou make it hard for a boy like that to go wrongI’m wishing I could make this mine, oh
If you want it, yeahYou can have it, oh, oh, ohIf you need it, oohWe can make it, ohIf you want itYou can have it
But stay wokeNiggas creepin’They gon’ find youGon’ catch you sleepin’, oohNow stay wokeNiggas creepin’Now don’t you close your eyes
Too lateYou wanna make it right, but now it’s too lateMy peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-AidI’m trying not to waste my time
If you want it, ohYou can have it, you can have itIf you need itYou better believe in somethingWe can make it, ohIf you want itYou can have it, ah!
But stay woke (stay woke)Niggas creepin’ (they be creepin’)They gon’ find you (they gon’ find you)Gon’ catch you sleepin’ (gon’ catch you sleepin’, put your hands up now, baby)Ooh, now stay wokeNiggas creepin’Now, don’t you close your eyes
But stay woke (ooh)Niggas creepin’ (they gon’ find you)They gon’ find youGon’ catch you sleepin’, ooh (gon’ catch you)Now stay wokeNiggas creepin’Now, don’t you close your eyes
How’d it get so scandalous?
Oh, how’d it get so scandalous?Oh, oh, how’d it getHow’d it get
How’d it get so scandalous?
How’d it get so scandalous?
But stay woke
But stay woke
