Wake up Lyrics

Y'all don't give a fuck, but I give fuck, yo, it's time to wake the people up hol' up

The system isn't broken it was made this way

Ironically preachin freedom to a country of slaves

The veil over your eyes becomes a part of your brain

Control your mind, stay in line or they might put you away

And you can blame it on my melanin, I wanna be great

To you it validates the hell I'm in, gives reason to hate

You can say it's destiny that my dreams I create

But manifesting is a gift, I know my Gods can relate

You see, we've prayed to this date for small advances toward a bigger mission

Relinquish power to whoever can fulfill our wishes

The truth about religion it's filled with contradictions

Distract the masses, separate us, man they willie lynchin

Open your eye

See the lies, no surprise

It's the devil's disguise

History's reprise, but y'all don't read no mo'

If it's a meme, you believe, you don't look up info

Nah

Ain't nobody got time for that

Too busy in the rat race, master's maze, you know, the trap

Listening to rap; plannin how to get swiss

What's the plan, homie? Sell drugs? Go strip

Cop a new whip. Be OG in the hood

Big fish little pond, yea, it's all to the good

Meanwhile yo people dyin

Fuck it, Floss on them rims

Make it rain on them hoes

You ain't bout feedin your kin

I'm teaching ways we can win

It's motivated meditation

My goal? Lift my sista's to a higha place and

There's more to life than clubs, drugs, and niggas penetration

I'm talking about elevation

We facin a crisis of culture

You know, my bros gettin killed

For being too dark, too black

Just keepin it real

We all know the deal

But some a y'all still asleep

Like privilege ain't real

You ain't oppressing the weak

But every day of the week

You make another man rich

They play golf, you serve fries

Ain't yo life a bitch

So whatchu gone do

Bar b que or mildew

You gone keep prayin on shit

Or you gone bust you a move

I tap them Young MCs

They be sayin why botha

You neva had no chance

You neva had no father

That's a tough pill to swallow

It just made push harder

Went through death and resurrection, shit, I'm something like a martyr

I'm dyin on the cross, but the phoenix shall rise

Too many people lost

It's time to open they eyes

I ain't tryna floss

I'm just tryna survive

On my John Travolta (Ha ha) stayin alive

Who else gone be there while the people go through it

Who gone stand up and speak for we all fall to ruin

Is it little ol' me who gone show and gone prove it

It's a fucked up job, but somebody gotta do it

You thought we blew it, a prophet brings a new gospel

Lady Jesus has arrived with her Apostles

Catholic, Baptist, Jews, Pentecostal

Mormons, Muslims, don't forget the Rastas

It's not hostile; it's nothin but love

I'm tryna spread peace

You tryna hate and to judge

That's the j o b of the one up above

And I bet Goddess ain't what you thought she was

What happened to Tribe called Quest like We the People

What happened to Fight the Power?

Guess they ain't Trump the Beatles

Since when did speaking ya mind become something illegal

Do you get the message? We were created equal

Now, don't group think try to use your own head

I'm tryin not to end up dead

Ha-ha-ha-ha

It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how we keep on getting dumber

It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how we keep on getting dumber
