WAKE UP Songtext

Intro Come on!
Chorus Ugh!
Come On!
1. Verse Although you try to discredit
You still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-double, I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give you a dose
But it'll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy
2. Verse Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Chorus Yeah
Yeah, back in this
3. Verse Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' that finesse
What I got to, what I got to do to wake you up
To shake you up, to break the structure up
'Cause this blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then I stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the shutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
4. Verse Yeah, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
You better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphers
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Solo 1
Bridge Ugh!
What was the price on his head
I think I heard a shot (4x)
Outro I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
Chorus Wake up! (8x)
Solo (wild) Yeah!
End How long? Not long
'Cause what you reap
Is what you sow
