Meaning 1: Waking up with your head at the foot of the bed. The upper part of the bed is generally where you lay. It is considered more luxurious because of pillows, stuffed animals, etc, therefore being "wealthy". The foot of the bed typically doesn't have anything adorning it, so therefore it is "poor", thus being the ghetto. Can also be referred to as "Christopher Columbusing", as you are in a place you haven't been in before.

woke up and chose violence — the act of awakening and greeting the day with absolutely the worst decision that you could possibly make.
And sometimes it is actually violence.
It’s starting the day and performing any action that unalterably changes your life forever.

The people who attacked The Capitol on January 6th 2021 — attacked the symbolic seat of the American people’s power — just woke up and chose violence that day. And, as a result, the ring leaders are receiving long federal prison sentences.

woke up and chose chaos — a corollary to waking up and choosing violence. Waking up and choosing chaos involves beginning your day with an impulsive act that can and does throw your entire existence into disarray.
A common excuse for waking ping up and choosing chaos is: “I just had to speak from ‘my strong place’”.
And then the chaos ensues.
