Wake Up (feat. Frisson)

Wake up sisters, where are you headed today Do you have reason, purpose and power to slay Wake up my brothers, you keep your heads held high Cause they won't tell you you're powerful, though they know; acknowledge your light We gotta make it because we have no choice Gotta do the best we can We owe those who no longer have a voice Get up and do something, do ya thing, yeah gone make a change So many say they sick and tired but they never do a thing Said they never do a thing Ohhhh... When life gets you against the wall Stand up, face it, be strong You're not in it alone, alone I know you're gone make it Don't let let nobody break ya You just overcome, overcome yeah Wake up my brothers and sisters we gotta get it Nothing is what's expected and not enough what we're giving Falling into the traps for the people All the limited options although its obvious honestly we don't see them Someone who is inferior worries bout' competition So take a step back and recognize that they see your greatness I hate this, trapped in our mind homies it's time to enlighten each other Begin to rise and revise, all the lies used against us Divide and conquer, time to rise up against them we can be stronger Fight back with knowledge and a posture we know they're afraid of Chin and chest held high, let em' know what you're made of Cause black is beauty, black is powerful black is truly Undeniable in spite of what they show in movies, movies We know the truth they don't gotta admit it And as for stereotypes, we don't gotta fit it Break the mold and the story unfolds! Break the mold and the story unfolds! When life gets you against the wall Stand up, face it, be strong You're not in it alone, alone I know you're gone make it Don't let let nobody break ya You just overcome, overcome yeah Keep your head to the sky
