Wake up x3 |
|
Wake up, get a hold of your life go get your cake up |
|
The motto in the streets is you eat, or you get ate up |
|
Straight up, you tired of waiting, go get your weight up |
|
My peoples tired of waiting for reparations to pay us |
|
Screaming Jesus can save us, I, I get the Bentley if I save up |
|
But that's just another trick to enslave us |
|
Push the minimum wages |
|
Put, put our fathers up in them cages |
|
Then watch out when mother struggled to raise us |
|
But, but my ambition won't let me live in this poor condition |
|
That doesn't care about color, creed, or your religion |
|
Priests, politicians gotta listen to opposition |
|
From my position, we still ain't got a pot to piss in |
|
From my position, we still ain't got a pot to piss in |
|
Allah said to save the babies from the cold |
|
Pour wisdom in the cup so the truth overflows |
|
Still, knowledge is that bread that keeps us well-fed |
|
Old time religion will not bring us satisfaction |
|
Without action now who can disagree with me? |
|
God is not a mystery, there's nowhere in history |
|
That you could show and prove to me |
|
But still you face east and nod your head to me religiously |
|
I'm G-O-D, to infinity, for real |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
If we just let it be |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
We gotta change it yeah, just you and me |
|
Poor reparations, the Bush administration |
|
Unequality, martial law, segregation |
|
False hood, false teaching, false education |
|
Now's the time for us to come amongst this nation |
|
They deceiving us, they don't believe in us |
|
They believe in that Cream like Julius Caesar |
|
I'm like Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X with the heaters |
|
Ripping the chains of the remains of all of the leaders |
|
Never worship the image if we were swine eaters |
|
I'm on the back of the bus with two fine divas |
|
We in the jungle of life, but never jungle fever |
|
I'm God-body all day long, spiritual life lessons |
|
That I recite with song |
|
Trying to wake up everybody, can't we all get along? |
|
For all my people that's out there persevering through the storm |
|
Black fist, Staten Island, stand up, stand strong |
|
Penetrate through the gate and bring the Clan along |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
If we just let it be |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
We gotta change it yeah, just you and me |
|
Wake up and realise the times |
|
That we living in the world is getting more iller than ever |
|
Thought we was chillin', striving change for the better |
|
But it was a dream like Martin Luther |
|
He had a vision that could move a mountain |
|
Protect one another, that's world to my brother Malcolm |
|
As-salamu alaykum, alaykum as-salam |
|
We want justice, police supposed to protect and serve |
|
And then they shoot us down like wild animals |
|
The nerve of them cold-hearted killers |
|
With blue suits slaying our black youth |
|
The earth cries from all the blood that's being spilled |
|
We need a solution fast, get InshAllah bill |
|
Let me educate them, translate it meaning God's will |
|
It goes all in together, together how we are |
|
To stand with a plan, provided we down to fall |
|
And that's the Willie Lynch tactics that separated the masses |
|
Taught us all to think backwards |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
If we just let it be |
|
The world won't get no better |
|
We gotta change it yeah, just you and me |
|
We gonna change the world x2 |
