Wake Up Lyrics

Uggh!



Come on!



Although ya try to discredit

ya still never edit

the needle i'll thread it

radically poetic

standing with the fury that they had in '66

and like E-double im mad

still knee-deep in the systems s***

hoover, he was a body remover

ill give ya a dose

but it can never come close

to the rage, built up inside of me

fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy



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(what)the judges(what)the feds(the feds)



Networks at work, keepin people calm

ya know they went after King

when he spoke out on Vietnam

he turned the power to the have-nots

and then came the shot



Yeah, back in this



Wit poetry my mind I flex

flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin dat finesse

whadda i gotta, whadda i gotta do to wake ya up

to shake you up, to break the structure up

cause blood still flows in the gutter

im like takin photos

mad boy kicks open the shutter

set the groove,

then stick and move like i was Cassius

rep the stutter step

then bomb the left upon the fascists

yea, the several federal men

who pulled schemes on the dream,

and put it to an end



ya better beware, or retribution with mind war

20/20 visions, and murals with metaphors



Networks at work, keepin people calm

ya know the murdered X

then tried to blame it on islam

he turned the power to the have-nots

and then came the shot



Uggh!

What was the price on his head (2 times)



i think i heard a shot (5 times)



*spoken* Black Nationalism

'He may be a real contender for this position should he

abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine

of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'

'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to

pinpoint potential trouble-makers...And neutralize them,

neutralize them, neutralize them'



Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!



How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow
