Madchild - Wake Up Lyrics






Wake up in the morning and I drink my coffee
But now my girl knows I don’t like talking
Till I (Wake up!)
She knows not to take it personal
Until I’ve had a cigarette my mood is irreversible
That’s how it’s always been but things have gotten worse
Because now for me to start the day I’ve got to pop a Perc
Started out for fun, it was purely recreation
But now my mind is on a permanent vacation
Lost my motivation, lost my inspiration
My mission every day is escaping from reality
Calling people back and paying bills a technicality
It doesn’t really matter cause I as long as I got twenty pills
A couple new movies and my girl comes to my house to chill
I even got her hooked for a while when she asked, “How’s it feel?”
But she’s responsible, she passed that phase
Now people look at her like why the fuck he act that way?
I gotta (Wake up!)

About three years ago we were doing a show and we drank like usual cause we drink for every show.
And my homeboy asked like, “Hey, you wanna try a Percocet?”
And I was like, “Okay, I’ll try it.”
He was like, “Yeah you’ll have more fun.”
So I remember doing that show and it was just like BOOM.
It was like everything was so much brighter…

You can ask anybody that does dope, the opiate is like utopia
It’s tough to cope with it, I quit for six weeks and do it for two months
The problem with that: I was just gonna do it once
One day turns to two into a week
Until I’m locked inside my house and I’ve turned into a freak
Jump around my living room at five in the morning
With the music so loud you’d think that I was performing
And if that ain’t a warning that I’ve gone too far
After shopping I can never seem to find my car
And it’s a shocking, that’s a fact and you’re walking forth and back
And you’re talking to your dogs and your dogs are talking back
And they are not even with you, they are back up at your place
Only to find you’re in your bathroom scratching at your face
And I’m trapped in outerspace, by then you’d figure it’s quits
I fall asleep sitting up with the cigarette lit, shit wake up

I started getting more like deep into it like I’d do it for the weekends and all of a sudden
it’d be Monday I’d get high and then Tuesday I’d get high and then I’d wake up in the morning and say,
“Fuck it, I’ll just keep the blinds closed and get high from when we wake up yo till six, seven in the morning.”
And before you know it a month’s gone by

I’m acting like a clown but think that I’m debonair
I can’t dance but when
I’m stoned I’m better than Fred Astaire
With a voice like Sinatra, I really
Can’t sing
Looking in front of the mirror posing like James Dean
(Wake up) Come on, let’s get realistic
When I quit this shit I get real distant
And I don’t even look at my reflection
Sing? Shit I sound like a trombone section
Stoned I feel young, detoxed I feel old
Feels like my fucking heart’s gonna stop then explode
So cold I start shaking, my body is aching
Well that’s what I get for partying in the matrix
I got a problem let’s face it
While you listen to this song I’m probably wasted
Acting crazy, people looking at me like I’m a pyscho
Gotta give my a head a shake, it’s time to break this cycle
Need to (Wake up)

You know you think you got that shit under control but if I’m doing it every day how could I be having shit under control?
You gotta be happy with life as it is; with your mind clear, you know?
It’s kind of crazy because even when I think about like myself in the future I think yeah I’ll have like a little secret room in my house
and I can go escape for the night and get stoned. It’s kind of fucked up I guess.
It’s like I’m incorporating getting high into my future.
That’s probably not the best look

    so much love in these comments, track is straight from the heart

  2. M.... D....

    Addiction = loss. 😢. Recovery = freedom. 🥰. Wake up. 🙏

  3. S.... B....

    Vitun lesta herää jos et nouse haen rynkyn mua saatana väsyttää

  4. O.... P....

    I hate alcohol cause it's taking control and nobody thinks a problem...

  5. J.... C....

    2 years sober IV meth!

  6. u.... ....

    Hey anyone know the chord changes?

  7. w.... :....

    10 years down 2019

  8. L.... H....

    This song hits hard. I remember when the EP dropped and i was lost in high school/ grad and being bored. Tried pills but i felt that this song and his others was a warning and just stayed away from getting too hooked.

  9. D.... M....

    This song woke me up.. made me realize i had a drug problem almost three years ago.. coke to crack to crystal meth.. today, im 5 months clean off drugs

    D.... M....

    Oh buddy I used to get meth for free. I used to inject it every day, I mixed heroin and meth together in a needle and overdosed

    D.... M....

    congrats man, never give up

    D.... M....

    Stay strong! Your doing so good.

    D.... M....

    Hope you’re still doing good man!

  10. H.... a....

    bieber is seriously hurting me dude. can you pick me up plz I am in sooo jmuch pain and just fed up with this bullshit. i need cuddles nad bubbles im hanging around the surrey library

  11. M.... d....

    As you shall sow, so shall you reap

  12. J.... H....

    Love this song. One of the Madchild tracks that helped me get clean

  13. R.... ....

    fucked up man listening to this song 10 years later and in a whole different perspective of life man to anyone who reads this. it do get better

  14. t.... u....

    PS don't forget Jaime and Karen and Cindy couldn't be left alone they start fires

  15. t.... u....

    hey baby thy make me lol thinking we slept together when we only child you forgot the hockey cards

  16. S.... P....

    Some real shit

  17. T.... H....

    ty cheers *bomb pulls*

  18. M.... ....

    My life song

  19. M.... L....

    Your high is how I am sober minus hallucinations (I am more aware of Real vs Reel). With my past it's such a relief to be in my mind because I have the brain of a pinkey. I party in the real world butt butt goofy I need some interesting reel life cartoons in my real life. This keeps me in the intellectual pool mostly in the shallow end. Unlike Mr MBadChild this lil Lady is Wild & can handle the dives to the deep below. Sobriety is my self destruction button.

  20. J.... ....

    Anyone have the MIDI for this?!

  21. S.... 7....

    why's this his only good song

  22. t.... c....

    Wake up!!!!!

  23. E.... J....

    This song was everyday motivation for me. Who ever believes weed isn't addictive is not smoking it regularly. Spending so much money on it, being un-motivated to do anything and mainly the tendency to not stop with it. With no withdrawl effects it's hard just not to go back to it. It's hard cause you just think one more will be fine, maybe even help me fight it but no. Ganja is Fun, but too much is a problem if you tryna actually function in our world.

  24. m.... s....

    Someone broke my sunglases

  60. B.... P....

    as a heroin addict ill say i started with percs...now ten years later ive lost half my friends to overdoses, ive been to prison, ive spent a huge amount of money, lived on the streets, and i still struggle with my addiction, i thought it was fun and games and didnt know what i was getting into, people that have never done dope tell u drugs are bad, but take it from someone who has been there and is still there you wont realize how bad it gets until it gets bad. please be smart and dont take the same path i took. and if you are shooting heroin please dont use alone, thats how people die cuz no one is around to save them. be safe, one love.

    B.... P....

    Brian Pontell hope things are getting better for you

    B.... P....

You'll have to Do more than Ever and Be trapped by Withdrawals and Doing it just 2 Feel Normal. No More High anymore like it Use to Feel in the Beginning. Dats Long Gone. .i understand what you're going thru and it Aint Easy. Contact Me if You need someone 2 Talk too. and I'll Send you my Email. Just know i Don't Judge you. You're still a Beautiful Person. Don't Ever Forget that!! Much Love to You. Everyday is New Day! so be Grateful you're Alive.

    P.... ....

    greets From morgan!!

  78. S.... ....

    All these people commenting about addictions when they clearly don't know shit all. If you've never been PHYSICALLY dependant on something then shut your mouth. You have no idea what addiction is like unless you have personally gone through it.

    To anyone saying "just stop taking them", are you serious? what do you think these pills are, candy? if you get hooked on them you and suddenly quit cold turkey you get DOPE SICK. It's not just mental cravings and urges, its full on DOPE SICK.

    Google it and gain some insight into what it's actually like before running your stupid mouths, cause I bet if half of you idiots saying its easy to quit actually got dope sick bad you'd be crying for your fucking mommy to save you.

    S.... ....

    StarkeyTV no u

    S.... ....

    Fuckin preach man, u know whats actually up, the people who have actually been through addictions have a far greater appreciation for this song and all the others like it by madchild and all the other rappers 💯🙏🏻

    S.... ....

    I couldn't say it better than that unless youve been in hell and felt the flames burn you you don't know shit! i

    S.... ....

    I actually wrote this song. Believe it or not, when i went into rehab he was just getting back into the scene, Dopesick was an Album name I proposed any fucking questions or opinions e-mail me. [email protected]

    The reason it was once called Demo was because it was my demo for battle axe with 2 other songs, night vison and ima dickhead. Matrix make shift is in each song. cuz i wrote em. bam.

  79. G.... ....

    this track like me but different!!!

  80. H.... H....

    anyone else have conversations with your dogs? lmao

    the struggle was real

    H.... H....

    He meant "dawgs" lol. He was hallucinating back then, thinking he was talkin to his homies when they weren't even there. So, yes lol, the struggle WAS real :P

    H.... H....

    +Billy Burley (The FREESTYLE D3M0N)
    i like my original thought, makes it more interesting. and trust me i know ive been there a few times

    H.... H....

    Yeah, I've been there as well. Hope you're doing good these days. :)

    H.... H....

    yep, I had with my turtle yesterday :)

    H.... H....

    @Avazaki Nice!!!! :)

  81. D.... R....

    feels good to be off ice. addiction is addiction whether it's dope coke heroin or pills its all the same.

    D.... R....

    @GameDuck lmfao I found that album the other day

    D.... R....

    actually the withdrawls from crack/coke are pretty intense. you just gotta do them long enough, WAY longer then opiates. Opiates get you hooked fast and hard

    D.... R....

    @David Dewar there is no withdrawals from coke unless you get some stepped on shit

    D.... R....

    @mikeyp0131 Wrong, like I said it takes WAY longer to get physically addicted but trust me you will.

    D.... R....

    For me it was Xanax withdrawal. That shit was the worst. The rage and mood swings led to a lot of bad shit. I moved from the east coast to midland. Brought four speed pills and a ball of white. As soon as I got out midland I stopped coke cold turkey and it wasn’t hard.

  82. j.... i....

    Hey bro addition blows still fighting get to a detox !!

    Man people who post their self pitty drug use on YouTube are stupid. Go do something about instead of talk about I used to slam black n clear for a few years. Found NA and got my shit together.... Faith without footwork is dead.

    s.... ....

    +Atomic Chronic lol

    s.... ....

    You have NO IDEA how many people I know that this track helped their lives. These tracks are to help people, not to gain sympathy for the artist.

    s.... ....

    +lel zotique he's not talking about the track, he's talking about people in the comments...

    s.... ....

    +lel zotique straight up thank you

  86. s.... ....

    mad child poppin more pills than slim shady

    s.... ....

    +David Dewar
    Haha so true. Also his new music sucks I hate all this baxwarr bullshit.

    s.... ....

    He doesn't do coke actually. I know Mad personally, and yes, he does drink alcohol occasionally, and he drinks alot of monster energy, but he doesn't do coke bro.

    s.... ....

    I have to agree with you, his new music DOES suck lol, unfortunately. But we have to give him the benefit of the doubt... He's no longer in his prime and he knows that.

    s.... ....

    Billy Burley he was in Utah as in dudes for coke

    s.... ....

    Black and white is good!

  87. C.... M....

    Drug addiction is real, but I think people put certain drugs on a pedestal and forget about all the other (considered perfectly fine) addictions. Cigarettes are considered normal. They're legal, can be bought almost anywhere and are very harmful to your health. Fast food, again, can be addictive (obesity) and yet it's considered perfectly fine to eat fast food on a daily basis. There are many more examples, but my point is, anything can become addictive, and people seem to forget that. 

    C.... M....

    this is true but a bag of chips wont rewire your brain whereas opiates will....

    C.... M....

    @WILL HAM Obesity? I think a lot of peoples brains have been rewired to think eating big macs with a super sized french fry is perfectly normal. There are more harmful chemicals in a value meal than 1 opiate pill. 

    C.... M....

    Tobacco or fast food might be worse for your health but the problem with opiates is that it mentally fucks you up. You will not become a crazy junkie thinking about only your addiction all day long when you're "only" addicted to things like tobacco or fast food.

  88. L.... ....

    I used to snort 30 mg hydros in 1 line, also I even went as far as shooting hydros up

    L.... ....

    LuXaioFeng do you still have a liver?

    L.... ....

    hydromorphs are a bitch...best feeling in the world but it will ruin your liver in the long run, was hospitalized with liver problems at 22.

    L.... ....

    i snort 30mg for breakfast

    L.... ....

    MosSadistic I was hooked on them from 17-23 then on methadone for a year. 4 months clean now almost 5. Had never been clean longer then 1 month & that was only because I overdosed at 17 & was in a coma for 3 1/2 days (took three 30’s & ten 10mg Valium not really aware of the dose at the time) anyways my question is how exactly does it fuck the liver up? I know some people get hepatitis c from IV & mess it up that way but it sounds like your saying the hydro does it directly? I have an enlarged spleen now & am trying to find a doctor to figure out wtf is up, sorry for the paragraph haha

  89. K.... M....

    Lol shit. This song brings back memories from last year when I was doing alotta coke.

  90. J.... S....

    lol you still a bitch sarah

  91. J.... W....

    Dope fucking shit yo

  92. s.... r....

    60 Oxys Ina day you'd be dead ya dumb b! You ain't gotta lie to kick it

    s.... r....

    He meant he would pop a 60 every day.

    s.... r....

    @sean r tolerance is a crazy bitch u can take as much as ur body needs to feel the effects especially after that long definitely possible tho

    s.... r....

    I can take 60 10 mg pills in a day no problem. it's all about tolerance and what mg the pills are.

    s.... r....

    I was doin 15-20 30 mg blues a day...Everyone is different and tolerance is a bitch

    s.... r....

    tolerance builds up man, it starts small and eventually u can do a huge amount that would kill most people but you barely feel it...

  93. m.... ....

    This man helped me get my life back n get clean..ever since i heard Wanted

  94. F.... ....

  95. S.... U....

    I was hittin 60 oxys a day, then I realized the pills had made me their bitch. And thats pretty sad. So now I smoke weed instead. Its a lot less harmful.

    S.... U....

    Hitting 60oxy a day? Dunno about that, but I cannot praise bud enough for helping me get through my own vices with other substances

    S.... U....
