The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But they don't know
Girls at school think you is a fool
But they don't know
I could be yours but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know
Savage
You got to tell me straight, are the rumors true
Did you really do them things that you use to
Cause the girls at school say that I'm a fool
And they don't understand what I see in you
When I don't know why they're bugging me
And they always start tripping when you're hugging me
But I really think you're lovely
And I guess they can't get enough of me
And I'm sick of she say, he say s**t
What you done, where you been, and who you with
These girls ain't my friends, they just like to shine
All of a sudden they jealous cause I made you mine
Chorus
The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But they don't know
Girls at school think you is a fool
But they don't know
I could be yours but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know
Savage
Now here goes Charlie talking s**t
Telling all the boys you was on his d**k
Now I don't want to resort to this
If I have to, Charlie will be falling quick
And I don't understand why they all keep bugging
I walk in the room, nobody ain't say nothing
They always calling when they see you out clubbing
Savage, I think your girl was getting up to something
That can't be true, now you wouldn't be lying
To my face now would you
Besides she was out with my sister
And they both told me you were trying to kick it with her
Friends how many of us have them
Right before the time when they start back stabbing
Never mind, ignore all of that
Now can you please, can you please give it up for Savage
Chorus
The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But they don't know
Girls at school think you is a fool
But they don't know
I could be yours but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know
Bridge
They don't know, they don't even know
We got this good thing going on
From the streets to the room
My seasons for you and that's
What I want you to know
They don't know, they don't even know
We got this good thing going on
From the streets to the room
My seasons for you and that's
What I want you to know
Chorus
The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But they don't know
Girls at school think you is a fool
But they don't know
I could be yours but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know
The neighborhood dudes think I'm no go
But they don't know
Girls at school think you is a fool
But they don't know
I could be yours but
They'll never know
They can think whatever they like
But I want you to know
Verse 1
Empty pizza boxes on the floor
Empty liquor bottles from before
You'll find your comfort in between the sheets
Way to afraid to take it to the streets
Confidence just went out the window
So down can't get up can't move no more
Life is passing by and your poor soul is gone
Chorus
Wake Up
Wake Up
Get Up
Get Up
Get out of bed
Stop wasting time
Wake Up
Wake Up
Get Up
Get Up
Get out of bed
Stop wasting time
Verse 2
Say that you'll do it the next day
Then in rolls the year 2008
Still procrastinating
Your work is overdue
Say that you'll buy a big house
But you ain't got s**t right now
Disappointed cause you said that change was going to come
Chorus
Wake Up
Wake Up
Get Up
Get Up
Get out of bed
Stop wasting time
Wake Up
Wake Up
Get Up
Get Up
Get out of bed
Stop wasting time
Bridge
I've been trying to get to you
I've been trying to get through to you
Tell me if you hear me
Tell me if you're listening
I've been trying to get to you
I've been trying to get through to you
Tell me if you hear me
Tell me if you're listening oh
If you understand say
Chorus
Wake Up
Wake Up

Get out of bed
Stop wasting time

Get Up
Get out of bed

Because two of my favorite music artists Sammy J and Aaradhna were performing, I wanted to do a bit of research on the annual Waitangi Day celebration. After a bit of research, I've come up on a few facts about this day. Please have a read and let me know on it's accuracy.
"On 28 October 1835, at the home of British Resident James Busby in Waitangi, 34 northern chiefs signedHe Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga o Nu Tireni (known in English as the Declaration of Independence of the United Tribes of New Zealand)." -nzhistory.govt.nz
Basically, what the treaty says is that Maori's will have authority over their own land and economy. That they will be the protectors of foreigners who enter their shores for trade (to-live) and ask that The Crown be the parent State and protector over all of New Zealand. A copy of this Treaty was sent to the King of England to say thank you, and among all things, for acknowledging New Zealand’s first official flag. The flag of the United Tribes. -Official Skrypt
"The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand’s foundation document. On February 6, 1840, the treaty was signed by representatives of the British Crown and Māori chiefs who acted on behalf of their hapū (sub-tribes)." -nzhistory.govt.nz
The Treaty of Waitangi has a Māori version called Te Tiriti o Waitangi and an English version called Treaty of Waitangi. Five years later after signing He Whakaputanga o te Rangatiratanga of 1835 where New Zealand kept its' authority over its own land and people, in 1840 Māori chiefs signed the The Treaty of Waitangi and officially surrendered the sovereignty of New Zealand to the British Crown, which is the argument today. -Official Skrypt
"Te Tiriti speaks of the chiefs maintaining their tino rangatiratanga (authority) over their taonga (all that they hold precious, including the Māori language). The chiefs allow the Queen to have kāwanatanga, a nominal and delegated authority so that she can control her people. On the other hand, the treaty in English tells us that the chiefs ceded their sovereignty to the crown while retaining full, exclusive and undisturbed possession over their lands, estates, forests and fisheries." -theconversation.com
For all my readers of The Skrypt, this is what's called unfinished business between The Crown and New Zealand. So when you're out their this coming weekend to celebrate Waitangi Day 2020, just remember that the battle has only begun about New Zealand truly being a sovereign state today, based off of all the treaties that have been signed. -Official Skrypt
I'm more than the color of my skin
I'm the girl that likes to sing
All I know is what’s within
Just the brown girl in the ring
Go to school and learn their ways
Don't have to think at what to say
While my mother sits to pray
I pray for better days
God please help them see
They ain't no different from me
Not above, not beneath
Teach them equality
Chorus
I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
I'm a girl, that likes to sing
I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
I'm a girl that likes to sing
Verse 2
I'm more than what they think of me
More than the color tones that they see
More than urban and R&B
More than a slang that I speak
Close your eyes, don't say your word
Don't speak about what you seen or heard
Let’s pretend that it's ok
Just the way the devil likes to play
Look in my eyes, look in my eyes
I can't lie I can't lie
All these years of my life
I'm just from the outside
Chorus
I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
I'm a girl, that likes to sing
I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
I'm a girl that likes to sing
Bridge
And if you don't know by now
Time will show you what, I'm talking 'bout
Said if you don't know by now
Time will show you what, I'm talking 'bout
I'm talking 'bout
Chorus
I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
I'm a girl, that likes to sing
I'm not just the brown girl, in the ring
I'm a girl that likes to sing
