Redbone Lyrics

[Alex]
Daylight
I wake up feeling like you won't play right
I used to know, but now that just don't feel right
It made me put away my pride

[Will]
So long
You made a brother wait for some, so long
You make it hard for boy like that to go on
I'm wishing I could make this mine, oh yeah nah

[Alex & Will]
If you want it, yeah
You can have it, yeah
If you need it, oh
We can make it, oooh
If you want it
We can have it


[Will & Alex]
But stay woke
Brothers creepin'
They gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleepin'
Now stay woke
Cause brothers creepin'
Now 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 [?]
