Teyana Taylor Wake Up Love
Harlem born and bred rapper Teyana Taylor has been teasing her forthcoming project The Album for months. Fans have been waiting on pins and needles for this long-awaited record, but if all rumours are true, we should expect The Album sometime this month. Teyana has recently shared her singles “Made It” and “Bare Wit Me,” two vastly different tracks as the former is a celebratory single for 2020 graduates and the latter has more of a sensual feel.
On Friday (June 12), Teyana Taylor returns with another banger titled “Wake Up Love.” The song features her husband Iman Shumpert as he displays his rapping skills for the masses once again. The couple previously shared that they spent their quarantine locked in their studios cranking out new music, so it’s no surprise to hear them on a track together. Spotify currently has this song listed with a feature by “Iman Nunez,” but that’s another rapper altogether.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah
[Verse 1: Teyana Taylor]
One thing’s for certain
Need you right here in my arms, baby I’m yearnin’
But I think I got a bone to pick with you (You)
Lately I’ve been wonderin’ what’s with you (You)
I need you to hear me, baby
[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
Wake up love (Wake up, wake up love)
These sheets won’t comfort me
Please, wake up love (Wake up, wake up love)
I might just comfort me
But I just need you holdin’ me
Show me some attention
I want you to wake up love (Wake up)
Hear me, baby
[Verse 2: Teyana Taylor]
It’s like a turban
I can wrap my head over on this shit but
I need you brownskin
I’m like India when I’m not fixed on you, woah, woah
Know how to keep it straight, it’s you, ooh, woah, ooh, woah, oh
[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
I want you to wake up love (Wake up, wake up love)
These sheets won’t comfort me
Please, wake up love (Wake up, wake up love)
I might just comfort me
But I just need you holdin’ me
Needin’ your affection
Wake up love (Wake up)
Hear me, baby
[Verse 3: Iman]
Bright lights are only used for the dark, lil’ mama
Drama gon’ play her part, pain is hard, lil’ mama
He just give you touch, hung up on the walls
You wanna set it later then cool, we takin’ it all lil’ mama, it’s real
I’d save you from a burnin’ building
I wear the burns as gold medals, turn you on to remember
Even though you scorpio, I take this so I know the feelin’
But fuck it, let’s burn this bitch to ceiling, I’m really fuckin’ with you
It’s a lot more than a make up after break up
So don’t fight back, just write back, baby
I know I demand a lot and you don’t like that
So let’s just leave the baggage, I’ma hop us on this flight back
You like that, right?
[Chorus: Teyana Taylor]
I want you to wake up love (Wake up, wake up love)
These sheets won’t comfort me
Please, wake up love (Wake up, wake up love)
I might just comfort me
But I just need you holdin’ me
Needin’ your affection
Wake up love (Wake up)
Hear me, baby
