Derek Simpson – “Wake Up”

“Can’t blame the kid, look at what’s around you. No one is bound to any type of clout. Look at what’s around you, family and all. Momma gives a call I’ma take it. I love that lady if it wasn’t for her I’ll be aimless. She got me shining and stainless.” – Derek Simpson raps

‘Wake Up’ tells a tale of a grateful young man who’s content with what he has. Also, he appreciates the good things in life that oftentimes people take for granted. Things such as waking up and seeing his loved ones, feeling the sun’s warmth, or the ability to dance in the pouring rain are a few reasons why he’s happy.
