1.	Awake 03:13	lyrics	buy track
Welcome to AWAKE, a Going Bare Music presentation by GoodxJ I'm awake at night creating when everyone is sleeping And also during the day When they are out of their beds but still asleep I'm not woke, I'm awake Counting my chips, Frito Lay Buying the dip til' the ice age Retail investor giving Hedgies max pain Mossberg shotty got a deadly aim Though I pray for peace as I dance in the rain All grown up, and healed from the shame Not too much that keeps me awake Lying at night I go right to sleep Beauty rest wake up and repeat Although I switch up my days Switch directions navigating the maze Everyday I get at it and I train Making beats, writing raps and meditating to stay sane The road ain't crowded I paved my own lane Original, invented my own thang Live from Minnesota with my Midwest twang I'll make ya feel like a woman, girl, Shania Twain Nevermind like Kurt Cobain This is a Nirvana state let me explain Bliss washes over me like a hurricane This party ain't what I expected but I'm glad I came It can really be a nuisance with this terrain But I packed my lunch for the big game They take it as a joke like I ain't the one But keep sleeping cuz I'ma have some fun It'll be like the sun shining into your eyes A deer in the headlights good luck tryin' to hide You won't forget me, it's good times And this is my time, I'm number one with the rhymes Looking from the sky down And, I'm, sitting on a cloud Spitting that rainy day vibe, they like how Do I keep a sunny disposition, like wow That's right I do my dirt but still keep clean Shadow work and wash up in the stream Out in nature exchanging with the trees Taking in oxygen, I breathe I breathe, and clean away the lies so I can be Unlearn everything and I can finally see If we strip everything away what does that leave No problems, just peace Awake, while everybody sleeps This ain't a trial run This one is for keeps If we strip everything away what does that leave No problems, just peace Awake, while everybody sleeps This ain't a trial run This one is for keeps And I don't need to keep nothing Let it all go, outside my comfort zone is the surest way to grow Delete the dogma and my tracks in the snow To find myself and uncover the gold Connect the dots looking back like whoa Laid the blueprint down like a young Hov Or BDP, ugh huh, now you know Who are we, that's the question in my soul If we strip everything away what does that leave No problems, just peace Awake, while everybody sleeps This ain't a trial run This one is for keeps Peace Wake up
2.	The Yellow Brick Road 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Take the first step towards the adventure of a lifetime Down a road very few souls dare to go Welcome to Freedom We are not victims to the circumstances of life We get to choose where we go and where we'll end up Below zero dreaming of the spring Once again it's the seasons that bring The best out my life and winters setting in A time to reflect and solitude to think Sitting by the fire light it up and then I wink At the spirit of love as I made a wish With each crackle of the log, I sing It won't be long, just a seasonal fling Hits hard like a holiday drink sometimes I sink low But that just gears me up to blast off though So, into outer space I go Man on a mission, I'm a rocket out the cold Into warm thoughts and a peaceful glow You can't keep me down for long, ugh, what do you know No, I'm really asking cuz if you know you know I'm basking in the sunshine with both my eyes closed They don't know nothing, yeah I know Stuck on suffering, time to grow Holding tight til' I learned to let it go Heading down the yellow brick road to save my soul They don't know nothing, yeah I know Stuck on suffering, time to grow Holding tight til' I learned to let it go Heading down the yellow brick road to save my soul Energy of Keanu Reeves in the Matrix Had patience my career is makeshift But I still made it, training was basic Skilled in fundamentals so on a track I lace it Clean vocals yeah baby that takes it Beyond the levels of the same ol' shit That you hear in every song That's time wasted, darkness I faced it to merge with the light Tasted the good life and I'll be alright Went well beyond the hype and then I took flight Adventures through my mind led me to paradise I bet it all on the roll of the dice No guts no glory and I'm forever nice Fortune favors the bold, I want my slice So I'm out here running in my Nikes paying the price Sunny delight I'll take that with some cold sprite Actually just give me H2O and let me write Got the beat from Jstan and it's dynamite No Napoleon, I'm not afraid of heights No complex I wreck a track on site And that's no flex I don't do this shit for likes This for the love of the game toss me the mic And set the levels right so they can hear this white Boy that's playing that funky music for the crowd I pop her Wild Cherry and then I bow, out Owwwww!!!! Hahahaa!!!!!!
3.	Long Walk 02:43	lyrics	buy track
People give up not knowing if they can last Before the tide turns so they're afraid of a crash Scared to clash, they lack the ropes I'm not running I don't need your vote I laugh at death cuz my life is whole Walk barefoot, like an animal Protect the crops like a scarecrow I'm the radio waves coming out your stereo Gun powder pull the trigger I'm gonna blow Poet #1, Sun Tzu a hoe The art of war I score in the studio Ball to the bucket I'm Rookie Rubio With high expectations I'm the lord of flow So much swagger I'm a bag her at the doe A child of the night under the moon lit glow Wake up at the dawn, no pawn, I go On a long walk thinking about life There's beauty in the air tonight Spring is ripe and the stars are bright A yo, tell me what you like On a long walk thinking about life There's beauty in the air tonight Summer is ripe and the stars are bright Hey yo, tell me what you like Long walks and chats this playlist slaps A love language we can both speak through raps Music beholds the beauty like your eyelash You're so funny when you dance I'm focused on that ass plus I love your laugh It's midnight still listen to the water splash We have fresh adventures on tap The old days of our past nah we ain't going back Relax, chill, living a highlight reel A life of luxury with you I feel Truly blessed , I made it through the mess Passed the tests and it led to this quest Making a nest with you This the best and the rest is accrued Over time, our chemistry is mood This day was long over due Holding you all night let's sing this tune On a long walk thinking about life There's beauty in the air tonight Fall is ripe and the stars are bright A yo, tell me what you like On a long walk thinking about life There's beauty in the air tonight Winter is ripe and the stars are bright Hey yo, tell me what you like Seasons
4.	Keep Playing 02:39	lyrics	buy track
The freaks come out at night But what happens in the morning when the dew is ripe What comes of the stars when we see the light Looking back I don't recognize my life It's like something takes over and I'm over the hype Start to think too much and kill momentum on sight And that ain't right that's the fight that ends the vibes My energy on 10 and I wanna reach new highs Well alright the skies write with the clouds Writing on the wall except it's more profound This be, speaking in tongues While climbing the ladder, tongue in cheek is done Keep playing, life is a game, that's wisdom We're all kind of stupid so let's get dumb Going off script, tough tit, I tricked em Everybody's not your enemy, so run, or pick one I'm not hating I'm making an observation Put your attitude away this a celebration Life is a game, so keep playing Life is a game, they keep playing I'm not hating I'm making an observation Put your attitude away this a celebration Life is a game, so keep playing Life is a game, they keep playing It's raining it's pouring a normal life is boring Me ? I'm recording while everyone is snoring I be scoring while flooring the gas down Harvesting my crops I'm a farmer with the cash cow A purple one like Prince is back now Purifying in the waters of MN, bow down The Saint is Paul, how now brown cow If the attitude is stank I'm not letting her go down If the chick in the water she prolly gon' drown I keep it wavy like Max B, surfs up pal What you're hearing is the truth, I be that sound You're witnessing the passing of the crown The passion of the Christ and phones lit from the crowd Call it what you want any adjective or noun Just don't be salty, cuz I'm feeling so proud Yeah pride is the devil but I'm a god right now I'm not hating I'm making an observation Put your attitude away this a celebration Life is a game, so keep playing Life is a game, they keep playing I'm not hating I'm making an observation Put your attitude away this a celebration Life is a game, so keep playing Life is a game, they keep playing
