Redbone Lyrics

Daylight
I wake up feeling like you won't play right
Used to know, but now this just don’t feel right
Made me put away my pride
So long
Made a playa wait for some, for so long
Make it hard for a boy like that to know wrong
Wishing I could make this mine

But if you want it (mm)
You can have it (oh yeah)
If you need it (mm)
We can make it
If you want it
You can have it
Mmm

But stay woke
They be creepin'
Yeah they gon' find you
Gon’ catch you sleepin'
Stay woke
They be creepin'
Yeah don't you close your eyes

Too late
You wanna make it right, but now it's too late
My peanut butter chocolate cake with Kool-Aid
Trying not to waste my time
If you want it (yeah)
You can have it (oh)
If you need it (if you need it)
Oh we can make it oh
If you want it
You can havе it
Ooh

But stay woke
They be creepin'
Yеah they gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleepin’
Stay woke
They be creepin’
Yeah don't you close your eyes

But stay woke
They be creepin’
Yeah they gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleepin'
Stay woke
They be creepin’
Yeah don't you close your eyes
Yeah 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 [?]
