Sleepin' on Me
Awakening Dreams: Unkle Samm's Triumph Over Doubt
Lyrics
Whelp
Expression of resignation or acceptance of a situation.
I guess it's time to wake up
Realization that it's time to become aware or attentive.
Ahh
Exclamation or sigh expressing a feeling or emotion.
Ay this for y'all that doubted me
Dedicated to those who doubted the artist's abilities.
The ones that's comin' home, but ain't been crowned a king
People returning home but haven't achieved recognition.
A pound of weed couldn't even be as loud as me
Claiming to be louder or more impactful than a pound of weed.
Sounds to me I'm allowed to dream undoubtedly
Feeling empowered to dream without hesitation.
Rubs you the wrong way but you love the friction
Owning the ability to create tension or disagreement.
Downing my eighth shot, yeah my buzz has risen
Consuming alcohol to reach a state of intoxication.
They used to laugh at me, now they listen
Previously ridiculed, now gaining attention.
I'm kicking bars like McAfee does to pigskin
Delivering rap lyrics aggressively like a football tackle.
Ha! Hammer the over and the underdog
Confidently predicting success in a situation as an underdog.
Gen Z prolly wondering what's in a Wonderball
Referencing a popular '90s candy for the younger generation.
I know this quarantine is a bummer y'all
Recognizing the disappointment of quarantine.
But we don't want no germ man, then it's all wünderbar
Expressing preference for positivity over negativity.
The sandman comin' to invade your dreams
Metaphorically referring to intruding thoughts or distractions.
Since y'all been in mine sayin' crazy things
Others imposing thoughts or ideas onto the artist.
Be anything you want is what they say to me
Encouragement to pursue ambitions despite criticism.
Well here I am, Unkle Samm, here for the awakening
Introducing oneself as Unkle Samm to spark realization.
They sleepin' on me hope y'all got some good rest
Reiteration of people underestimating the artist's potential.
They sleepin' on me hope y'all got some good rest
-They sleepin' on me hope y'all got some good rest
-They sleepin' on me hope y'all got some good rest
-Y'all been hitting snooze buttons
People neglecting or ignoring the artist's abilities.
This is the wake up call, I'm the one who's hustlin'
Highlighting personal dedication and hard work.
First in, last out while these buffoons bluffin'
Position of dedication compared to others' deceitful actions.
Bustin' through like some double D's on loose buttons
Entering a situation with force or impact.
And when she dumps 'em out, just for clout
Describing attention-seeking behavior for popularity.
You got these punks around cause it pumps a crowd
Having a crowd's attention for personal gain.
They wanna look at me and know what Unk's about
Desire for others to understand the artist's essence.
They say they running circles, but I'm running miles
Artist's hard work surpassing others' efforts.
And I ain't started breakin' a sweat
Not showing signs of fatigue or exhaustion.
Ain't even takin' a breath, that's a mistake of a bet
Not pausing or resting, viewing it as a mistake.
I got my weight on they neck, it's going to break if I press
Symbolic pressure on others to recognize the artist's potential.
The signature becomes an autograph, my name's on the check
Asking for recognition through success or achievements.
And I can keep the cursin' to none
Commitment to a positive attitude without negativity.
I'm here to turn up the fun, goin' berserk on these bums
Intending to bring enjoyment or excitement.
Cause when I work, I'm the one, it's going to hurt when I'm done
Asserting dominance in one's field of work.
Y'all need to wake up wake up like it's the first of the month
Urging others to awaken and take action.
They sleepin' on me hope y'all some good rest
Reiteration of the previous theme of being underestimated.
They sleepin' on me hope y'all got some good rest
-They sleepin' on me hope y'all got some good rest
-They sleepin' on me hope y'all got some good rest
-It's ya man Unkle Samm
Artist's self-identification and introduction.
Time to wake up
Reinforcing the need for awareness and attention.
Y'all sleeping on me
Highlighting the disregard or ignorance toward the artist.
Change my name to Unkle Serta
Metaphorically renaming oneself for recognition.
I'm out
Ending statement indicating departure.
