The first experience in consciousness is waking up. This track serves as an overture to the rest of the album starting off with a more instrumental texture to set the tone for the rest of the tracks.
On the back half of the track the lyrics “See, every creation story starts with a sound. My nigga, well this about to be the Big Bang” is a reference to the creation of the universe and how in most accounts of its creation the beginning of the universe is the result of a sound. Whether its God speaking the words “Let there be light” or an infinitely dense singularity exploding in a “Bang”, the universe is made of frequency, vibration, resonance and so on.
lyrics
Every creation story starts with a sound, Oh Lord.
My Nigga, well this about to be the Big Bang.
I'm ready to go, ready to go right now.
I can't sleep here no more.
