Lyrics The Knock - Buck Bowen

To live the dream you need to wake up
You can stay asleep but trust in me it ain't much
I don't negotiate with chance I only say what
Is the next step to take and then I take them

Opportunity was knocking, you didn't get up
Said you had a valid reason but that it isn't enough
It rang the doorbell too, you'd rather sit on your thumb
It even tapped upon the window but the blinds you just shut

How you think it's supposed to happen
It just falls into your lap while you're just fucking off and relaxing
Like your reward for being passive
Is some massive success cause your laziness is attractive

Are you listening to this madness
Cause I'm talking about your life and how you've pissed away these chances
Yeah you had a valid excuse
And everybody would agree but what the fuck did they lose

They didn't miss the opportunities, shots at success
How do you sleep knowing that you didn't give it your best
How do you wake up content to be mediocre
I'd rather suffocate to death in someone's body odor

To live the dream you need to wake up
You can stay asleep but trust in me it ain't much
I don't negotiate with chance I only say what
Is the next step to take and then I take them

To live the dream you need to wake up
You can stay asleep but trust in me it ain't much
Why you negotiate with chance that's insane bruh
I only ask the next steps and then I take them

Soon you will arrive, but who's in command
Is your destiny designed by someone else's hands
Are you working to fulfill somebody else's plans
How much longer will you tolerate it take a stand

Or stay seated, it's your choice believe it
Either way you are responsible if you're defeated
You also get the credit whenever you are succeeding
So are you going to wake the fuck up or go back to sleeping

Cause fortune is a woman
Who will let herself be won by those bold enough to pursue her
She don't respect the cautious
Nor does she give the time of day to any timid offers

So what's your plan stand idly by
While your pathetic life passes like hello and goodbye
You can do it but it ain't that fun
You see decision weighs ounces but regret weighs a ton

To live the dream you need to wake up
You can stay asleep but trust in me it ain't much
I don't negotiate with chance I only say what
Is the next step to take and then I take them

To live the dream you need to wake up
You can stay asleep but trust in me it ain't much
Why you negotiate with chance that's insane bruh
I only ask the next steps and then I take them
