Wake up, I ain't done yet
Same room, same damn sunset
Small wins keep me honest
Long road, no fake promise
I kept calm when the rent got loud
Too much pride for a pity crowd
Old plans sitting with the dust on
New fear telling me to run off
I don't flex what I ain't got
I won't fold for a safe spot
Loose grin when the day turns ugly
Still here, let the doubt judge me
Wake up, I ain't done yet
Same room, same damn sunset
Small wins keep me honest
Long road, no fake promise
Wake up, I ain't done yet
Same room, same damn sunset
Small wins keep me honest
Long road, no fake promise
Everybody got advice for free
Nobody got that price for me
I been broke, not broken though
Cold floor, but the motion grows
Too many maybes in one damn head
One real yes make the rest feel dead
I make peace with the slow reveal
Proof small, but the proof still real
Wake up, I ain't done yet
Same room, same damn sunset
Small wins keep me honest
Long road, no fake promise
I seen hype wear a cheap cologne
Loud mouth, but the seat still cold
I don't trust every bright new door
Been through that, seen the same old floor
Still I laugh when the plan gets weird
Dark jokes keep the damn thing clear
If I miss, I adjust my aim
Same heart, with a different frame
Wake up, I ain't done yet
Same room, same damn sunset
Small wins keep me honest
Long road, no fake promise
Wake up, I ain't done yet
Same room, same damn sunset
Small wins keep me honest
Long road, no fake promise
I know time got teeth for real
Bites slow, then the marks don't heal
I can't wait for a sign all year
Some doors open when I stay right here
Hard truth got a plain old face
Bad days don't erase my taste
I been close to a clean way out
Still chose what I care about
Wake up, I ain't done yet
Same room, same damn sunset
Small wins keep me honest
Long road, no fake promise
Wake up, I ain't done yet
Same room, same damn sunset
Small wins keep me honest
Long road, no fake promise
Let them talk like the end came first
I know work with the name stripped off
I know faith when the light cuts out
I know doubt with the suit zipped up
I wake up with the same hard choice
More weight, but a stronger voice
If it takes every year I got
I'm still here, motherfucker, why not

"wake up early" is a steady alternative hip-hop track by steve, released through SplashyRecords and featured on SplashyRadio. The song moves through rent pressure, old plans, bad days, and the kind of small wins that keep someone upright. With an upbeat pulse and plainspoken delivery, steve turns persistence into something grounded, not flashy, just proof that he is still moving.
