lyrics

[Verse 1: Yung Midgey]
Woke up bout 6
It is what it is
Early bird gets the worm
But I think that’s a myth
Cuz I’ve been sitting around
And I ain’t done shit
My momma yelling Midgey
When you gonna get a job
When you gonna help around the house
And quit being a slob
But I picture I’m on top
I picture I’m on top
But just last night
I was running from the cops
I grabbed my jacket hit the door
And dismiss what she said
Walking down the sidewalk
To get it out of my head
I was thinking about last night
And ran into my friend
He seen me last night
Running from the law
He told a different story
And this is what he saw

[Chorus: Jeremy Short]
When you gonna grow up
When you gonna act your age
Don't you know better
Don't play those games
You need to get a job
Make that change
Karma catch up
When you hit that stain
When you gonna grow up
When you gonna act your age
Don't you know better
Don't play those games
You need to get a job
Make that change
Karma catch up
When you hit that stain

[Verse 2: Jeremy Short]
Woke up bout 6
It is what it is
Smoke a little bit
Of that cannabis
But I still get my work done
Still get my bills paid
Still have enough time
To have fun in the day
I don’t stay out late cuz nothing good goes on
Last night I couldn’t get my hunger switch to go off
Had to hit the store that’s when I saw both cops
Why you running down the one ways with your clothes off?
Man to man, friend to friend
I ain’t tryna see your buttcheeks again
Knocking on those doors screaming please let me in
Ain’t gonna work when you look indecent
Now they add flight to avoid and resisting arrest
And your momma bail you out and you still ain’t clean your piss
Off the toilet seat at home and now she’s freaking pissed
So she turns this song on and sings the chorus

[Chorus: Jeremy Short]
When you gonna grow up
When you gonna act your age
Don't you know better
Don't play those games
You need to get a job
Make that change
Karma catch up
When you hit that stain
When you gonna grow up
When you gonna act your age
Don't you know better
Don't play those games
You need to get a job
Make that change
Karma catch up
When you hit that stain

[Verse 3: Sean Vieyra]
Woke up at six
It is what it is
Gotta go through the struggle
Gotta go dig
Deep with a shovel
Real deep within
Got a big fam
I ain't got no friends
Tryna make ends til the end of my days
How the fuck I'm supposed to live off minimum wage
When you go and find the answer come and talk to me
Hundred miles and running come and walk with me
Not everybody got the dedication
When the bullshit comes I embrace it
I ain't afraid of the struggle
I ain't afraid of pain
I know who I am
And I know my name
I know it all like the back of my hand
I know who I am as a motherfucking man
And I go take my stand for what I believe
Young Sean V man I'm hanging out with Jeremy
And my little homie Midgey man that's my little bro
Ya'll already know how it go
When it comes down to it
Who's down go to go do it
Everybody loves to talk
But they ain't down to go through it

[Chorus: Jeremy Short]
When you gonna grow up
When you gonna act your age
Don't you know better
Don't play those games
You need to get a job
Make that change
Karma catch up
When you hit that stain
When you gonna grow up
When you gonna act your age
Don't you know better
Don't play those games
You need to get a job
Make that change
Karma catch up
When you hit that stain
