Wake Up Read the Lyrics

Get the official lyrics for “Wake Up” by Stonebwoy. The song was produced by Selasi.

The song opens with a confident introduction, establishing his identity and authority: “Been talking my shit from day one / And me nuh take chat from nobody.” The lyrics then deliver a blunt warning to anyone who would challenge him: “Ganging against the Rudeboy / Nah go work / Ganging against a Jah Jah son / Nah work / Dem a take me leniency for weakness.” The narrator is making it clear that he has been patient, but that patience is not a permanent condition.

The chorus functions as the song’s thesis, a direct address to the listener: “So I gotta wake up / And I need to wake up / I just decide to live my fucking life in peace / But any body wake the lion get a little peace.” This powerful metaphor warns that his peace is not a guarantee of passivity; those who disturb it will face the consequences. The message resonates with his career-long ability to blend dancehall energy with sentiments rooted in the everyday realities and self-awareness of the people.

The final verse adds another layer, touching on the theme of being surrounded by inauthenticity: “I find myself amongst the wolves / In a fucking sheep clothes.” The narrator is observing the hypocrisy and hidden motives of those around him and affirming his resilience: “So me kick dem outta door.” The song is a forceful and confident statement that reinforces Stonebwoy’s status as one of Africa’s most decorated and consistent musical figures .
