[Verse 1]
Had an epiphany, and this what it seems
It's smoke and mirrors, don't wanna believe
For far too long they've been plotting on me
The story's unfolding now, it's a conspiracy

[Pre-Chorus]
Starting to feel like got déjà vu
I remember being here, must be a glitch in the matrix
Look around, they all got the same face on
I'm standing by the phone, someone call me

[Chorus]
Bring me to life (To life, to life, to life, to life, to life)
Show me how to live (To live, to live, to live, to live, to live, to live)
'Cause I lose control, feeling like Neo in the matrix
I just wanna live, I just wanna live, oh woah
I took a red and a blue pill, now I
I can't decide what's make believe or real
Am I awake or am I still asleep?
It's killing me (Killing me)

[Verse 2]
Into the oracle, I wanted to know
What I was supposed to do, she said I see on my own
And the craziest thing is that you already know
Try to decipher the signs on the side of the road

[Pre-Chorus]
Starting to feel like got déjà vu
I remember being here, must be a glitch in the matrix
Look around, they all got the same face on
I'm standing by the phone, someone call me

[Chorus]
Bring me to life, yeah (To life, to life, to life, to life, to life)
Show me how to live (To live, to live, to live, to live, to live, to live)
'Cause I lose control, feeling like Neo in the matrix
I just wanna live, I just wanna live, oh woah
I took a red and a blue pill, now I
I can't decide what's make believe or real
Am I awake or am I still asleep?
It's killing me (Killing me)

[Bridge]
I need you, you gotta help me
I'm part human, part android
I need your power so you can charge me, charge me
Oh woah, stuck in the matrix, oh, bring me to life

[Chorus]
Bring me to life (To life, to life, to life, to life, to life)
Show me how to live (To live, to live, to live, to live, to live, to live)
'Cause I lose control, feeling like Neo in the matrix
I just wanna live, I just wanna live, oh woah

Chris Brown

Grammy-winning R&B singer, rapper, dancer, graffiti artist, illustrator and the first male lead artist to have his debut single top the Billboard Hot 100 in 8 years with “Run It!” in 2005, Breezy is undoubtedly a multifaceted artist. To add to this, he is the father of Royalty, a princess and the inspiration for his 7th studio album Royalty.

It’s undeniable his ability as a musician, dancer, and all-round entertainer. At the 54th Annual Grammy Awards (February 12th, 2012) his 4th studio album F.A.M.E. won the award for Best R&B Album and a huge number of other awards and nominations ranging from his debut as a 16 year old in 2005 to his most recent projects.

Brown’s career is long-lived, pristine and all about his music with hits such as “Look At Me Now,” “Turn Up the Music,” and “Loyal,” and successful collaborations with Omarion on his hit “Post to Be” and Lil Dicky's “Freaky Friday” in recent years.
