Redbone Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Daylight
I wake up feeling like you won't play right
I used to know, but now that shit don't feel right
And it made me put away my pride, ooh
So long
Yeah, you made a brother wait for some, so long
You make it hard for boy like that to go on
And I'm wishing I could make this mine, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
If you want it
You can have it
And if you need it
We can make it, oh
If you want it
Then you can have it

[Chorus]
Just stay woke
They be creepin'
And they gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleepin', ooh
Now stay woke
They be creepin'
Don't you close your eyes
[Verse 2]
Too late
You wanna make it right, but now it's too late
My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid
And I'm trying not to waste my time, ooh

[Pre-Chorus]
If you want it
Then you can have it
And if you need it
We can make it, oh
If you want it
Then you can have it

[Chorus]
Just stay woke
They be creepin'
And they gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleepin', ooh
Now stay woke
They be creepin'
Don't you close your eyes

Now stay woke
They be creepin'
They gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleepin', ooh
Now stay woke
They be creepin'
Don't you close your eyes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
