I Woke Up Lyrics – Kodak Black

This single, helmed by French producer DJ Cam’s moody trip-hop pulse—think hazy keys and sparse beats that let Kodak’s mumble flow breathe—lands like a confessional voicemail from the edge. It’s trap-soul at its most unfiltered: slow-rolling 808s underscoring bars that loop on survival’s small wins, from mansion mornings to ditching the dope haze.

Thematically, it’s Kodak unpacking that fragile flex—waking to strangers in your bed, phone buzz from the plug, but choosing thanks over the trap’s endless loop. “I woke up to a bitch I don’t even know / Thankful for a new 24” cuts deep, flipping hood regrets into quiet triumphs, all while shading the fake toughs and endless beefs that keep the cycle spinning. Dropped as the album’s post-launch spark on November 28, it was one of those no-fanfare visuals on YouTube that blew up overnight, fans flooding comments with “this the therapy we needed” vibes, Kodak’s Insta stories hyping it as “just real talk from the yard.”

Kodak’s at that rare crossroads, 28 and wiser after the ’24 pardons and therapy arcs turned headlines, fresh off sold-out Florida fest slots where he freestyled fan letters onstage. The Haitian-American hustler who painted Project Baby with pistol dreams is evolving into rap’s reluctant preacher—trading juvie tales for fatherhood flexes, still slinging slang but with a soul that’s starting to show. “I Woke Up” lands like his mic-drop moment: proof the project kid’s scripting sequels where gratitude’s the real gold chain.
