Lil Skies is someone who has had quite a bit of longevity in the game, which is definitely nice to see. Overall, it has been hard for many of the rappers from the 2017 era to stick around. However, Skies has managed to do it with ease. Sure, there have been some road bumps along the way. However, fans are still very much aware of Skies and his music. He continues to get booked for big festivals, and his releases have remained consistent. When other artists are fading into obscurity, Skies is maintaining his fanbase.

When Lil Skies burst onto the scene, he was known for that melodic brand of hip-hop that was popular at the time. His tracks with Landon Cube are still legendary at this point. During this era, his music was inescapable. That said, all of these years later, Skies still has a lot to say. That has been evident in his past few releases. On Friday, however, he came back again with another new track for his fans. Below, you can listen to his latest effort, dubbed “Wake Up.”

Throughout this track, Lil Skies shows us exactly how well he can flow. He breaks in and out of speedy yet melodic passages. Moreover, his pen game seems to be hitting its stride with some solid bars that touch on a plethora of topics. Skies is still making sharp music, and you can’t help but be excited by this. Hopefully, a new album will be released very soon.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Mvgnolia
Hahaha, Zerby

[Chorus]
Wake up, no I ain’t wake up, honestly I been up
I been grinding, try get my cake up, can’t take no pay cuts
We don’ show them niggas, can’t tame us
They couldn’t break us, stay down, fuck being famous
Try and get that cake up
I walk in the Amiri Denim mixed with Marc Jacobs
You try to walk a mile up in my shoes, you better lace up
I ain’t worried ’bout that bitch, I had to buy a lace front
I’ma stunt for all them niggas who said I don’ changed up (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Different type of bag, gotta keep it on the low
Different type of swag, I’ma give it to a ho’
How you walk inside the jewelry store, and buy none for your bro?
I find it kinda funny, they said they was gettin’ money
You see they jumpin’ dick to dick, remind me of a bungee
I’m pourin’ up a double cup, you know I like it muddy
And no you can’t come over here, ’cause you are not my buddy
I’m way from outer space, I need my space
You can’t come in my atmosphere, I’m promise you’ll get beaten here
You know this shit is different, on my nigga we don’t show no fear
I done got some different diamonds, shinin’ like a chandelier
I be sippin’ lean by the pint, no I can’t fuck with beer
Niggas say they fuck with me, but honestly, don’t want them near
I could see it in his eyes, he ain’t a man, he showing fear
They tellin’ me that I am different, I am me, stop being weird
Goin’ out the ways, guess I’m stuck in my ways
No, I don’t wanna talk to nobody, that’s not my style
I’m tryna get out of here, I’ma be gone for a while
They say they want beef, but don’t black and white like a cow
I’m running up the miles

[Chorus]
Wake up, no I ain’t wake up, honestly I been up
I been grinding, try get my cake up, can’t take no pay cuts
We don’ show them niggas, can’t tame us
They couldn’t break us, stay down, fuck being famous
Try and get that cake up
I walk in the Amiri Denim mixed with Marc Jacobs
You try to walk a mile up in my shoes, you better lace up
I ain’t worried ’bout that bitch, I had to buy a lace front
I’ma stunt for all them niggas who said I don’ changed up (Uh, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Put diamonds in the cross
Diamonds in my teeth, I’ma smile when I floss
I ain’t rocking Hugo but they know that I’m a boss
Different kind of swag, you can tell when I walk
Haha, yeah he different, how he talk, huh
I’m on point like a hawk
Gotta pay attention, they gon’ try to take me off
Niggas see me out in public, they can’t play me soft
How it feel when you got that record deal?
Well I just kept it 100, I need a hunnid mil’
Not worrying ’bout you people I’m not caring how you feel
Let’s only keep it treal, this shit can get so real
