"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
