Wake up

Y'all don't give a f*ck, but I give f*ck, yo, it's time to wake the people up hol' up The system isn't broken it was made this way Ironically preachin freedom to a country of slaves The veil over your eyes becomes a part of your brain Control your mind, stay in line or they might put you away And you can blame it on my melanin, I wanna be great To you it validates the hell I'm in, gives reason to hate You can say it's destiny that my dreams I create But manifesting is a gift, I know my Gods can relate You see, we've prayed to this date for small advances toward a bigger mission Relinquish power to whoever can fulfill our wishes The truth about religion it's filled with contradictions Distract the masses, separate us, man they willie lynchin Open your eye See the lies, no surprise It's the devil's disguise History's reprise, but y'all don't read no mo' If it's a meme, you believe, you don't look up info Nah Ain't nobody got time for that Too busy in the rat race, master's maze, you know, the trap Listening to rap; plannin how to get swiss What's the plan, homie? Sell drugs? Go strip Cop a new whip. Be OG in the hood Big fish little pond, yea, it's all to the good Meanwhile yo people dyin F*ck it, Floss on them rims Make it rain on them hoes You ain't bout feedin your kin I'm teaching ways we can win It's motivated meditation My goal? Lift my sista's to a higha place and There's more to life than clubs, drugs, and niggas penetration I'm talking about elevation We facin a crisis of culture You know, my bros gettin killed For being too dark, too black Just keepin it real We all know the deal But some a y'all still asleep Like privilege ain't real You ain't oppressing the weak But every day of the week You make another man rich They play golf, you serve fries Ain't yo life a bitch So whatchu gone do Bar b que or mildew You gone keep prayin on shit Or you gone bust you a move I tap them Young MCs They be sayin why botha You neva had no chance You neva had no father That's a tough pill to swallow It just made push harder Went through death and resurrection, shit, I'm something like a martyr I'm dyin on the cross, but the phoenix shall rise Too many people lost It's time to open they eyes I ain't tryna floss I'm just tryna survive On my John Travolta (Ha ha) stayin alive Who else gone be there while the people go through it Who gone stand up and speak for we all fall to ruin Is it little ol' me who gone show and gone prove it It's a fucked up job, but somebody gotta do it You thought we blew it, a prophet brings a new gospel Lady Jesus has arrived with her Apostles Catholic, Baptist, Jews, Pentecostal Mormons, Muslims, don't forget the Rastas It's not hostile; it's nothin but love I'm tryna spread peace You tryna hate and to judge That's the j o b of the one up above And I bet Goddess ain't what you thought she was What happened to Tribe called Quest like We the People What happened to Fight the Power?
