Composition and lyrics


"Wokeuplikethis" is a trap song. Carti's verses have been described as "spilling out unfinished ideas, but there's a charm to the way he dawdles through verses, as if rap is merely an afterthought."[3]


Music video


The song's official music video was released on August 7, 2017, premiering exclusively on Tidal, and has 39 million views as of May 2020.[4] The video was directed by James “JMP” Pereira, who later directed "Look At Me" and "Moonlight" for XXXTentacion.[5]


Synopsis


The video takes place in a prison. The opening lines show a shirtless Carti getting a haircut by a woman in a red dress while lip syncing the lyrics on a rotary dial telephone. The video also switches between shots of an exercise yard and a hallway with other prisoners imitating them.[6] At 1:31, the video switches to a shot of Carti in clothes in a black background, with Uzi making an appearance. The video then switches back to the prison setting.
