Lyrics
"Wake up"
Chorus(2x)Sleep is da cousin of death(3x)
So awaken ya mind & quit wastin’ ya breath
Life’s filled wit pain a haze of malaise
To escape the malaise you blaze up the haze
Put down da Dutch….stop puffin’ da haze,
An peer through da haze
Get truly high & you’ll be amazed
They got us trapped like rats black, livin’ life in a maze
Wit ya true opticals
You’ll see da true obstacles,
But don’t fear da obstacles
Through Christ all things are possible
The impossible is possible no matter how improbable
Ya greatest obstacle is you, Dun you unstoppable
Chorus(2x)
Their weapons of warfare are you & me, open ya mind up B.
We the soldiers & the civilian casualties
They give us the artillery & armory creatin’ colored casualties
Me killin’ you, you killin’ me, that’s the goal , can’t you see
They put drugs in da streets & then give us da heat
Hopin’ that the scent of Devil’s Pie will make us mirk our peeps
An some use they piece pop they peeps 2 get’em a piece
The Devil’s Pie be the profits procured from pushin’ poison 2 our peeps up in dem streets
Guns we blazin’,
Cain we slangin’,
Money we makin’,
But in da hood we still remainin’, yo what is we really gainin’
Chorus(2x)
The system ain’t gonna give us nuthin’ we gotta take it black
It was ours in the 1st place so all we doin’ is takin’ it back
Matta of fact black,
I’ma take that last statement back
They gave us debt, disease, poverty, gatz,& crack
When it came 2 that they made sure we neva lacked
I was taught 2 flip byrds, before I could read a book
Neva taught 2 be a doctor, but apprenticed thoroughly in the ways of crooks
I’m the systems worse nightmare “A Colored that can read a book!!!”
An I’m teachin’ my people & soon we snatchin’ back all they took
It’s time for us 2 wake up,
The system we need 2 shake up,
The walls of this mental maze we need 2 get 2gthr & break up
Hear wisdom crying out in the streets fam, stop sleepin’ it’s time 2 wake up
Chorus(2x)
