Truth InRhyme - Wake Up

Just know it's coming from a place of love
But you gotta wake up
It's time baby
Let's Go
I know you hear me
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Why
Cuz half of ya'll
Don't even know that you're sleeping
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Why
Cuz half of ya'll
Don't even know that you're dreaming
They hated us from the start
And fed us a peasants diet
To keep up dependent, addicted
And too weak to riot
Mastered the art of confusion
And keeping people silent
Put everything on a spectrum
So there's no moral guidance
The truth is becoming
twisted and swirled
Even with solid proof
The excuse is out of this world
Ain't nothing 'Cutie' bout a movie
Defiling young girls
Preadolescence shaking booty
Is podophilic and spooky
But I'm digressing
Ain't asking five questions
Just pulling my weapon
You stare at my daughter
Longer than five seconds
It's not a game, it's a class
These are my lessons
To my brethren
Hoping that we can get to dissecting
It's not a trend
It's a battle for your soul
Cuz they still treating our people
Like cattle and it shows
While we fighting
They writing death
With the statutes they compose
Then they rub it in our face
With the statues they uphold
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Why
Cuz half of ya'll
Don't even know that you're sleeping
(You been sleeping long enough) Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Why
Cuz half of ya'll
Don't even know that you're dreaming
I ain't watching the news
'til the facts are being told
I ain't voting
'til I see brown and blacks in the polls
Til we agree that the constitution
Don't really suite us
No more amending
It's time to send it
To the basura
The world is dreaming
While big pharmacuda
Play Freddy Krueger
You better sleep with
One eye open
Like Rick The Ruler
It's a conspiracy theory
'til it's happening to ya
And many know the truth
But they only acting to fool ya, cuz
Everybody ain't for the cause
Some switching faces
Just to blend in with the crowd
But they really racist
So to be safe
I'm stopping you at the gate
To make you say
What your business is
Like it's a mission statement
When checking the grass for weeds
Don't cut through it
No purpose in just
Cleaning the surafce
Gotta uproot it
Before you can plant
New seeds in a valley
Gotta renew it
Keeping yourself in check
Gonna cost you
But just do it
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Why
Cuz half of ya'll
Don't even know that you're sleeping
(I ain't telling you no more) Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Why
Cuz half of ya'll
Don't even know that you're dreaming
See I'm just trying to be
Godly influenced
But find it
Highly confusing
That we still
Rocking with music
All about
Robbing and shooting
While anonymous
conglomerates, pocket
Profit's we losing
Now what
Part of the movement
Benefits from
Peddling our innocent
Toxic pollution
But they
Got us to do it
Til they
Knock us and threw us
Into the industrial
Slave revolution
They call prison
A system that's
Devised to divide
And give them dominion
Don't believe what you
See on the news
They telling visions
Making villains
Out of innocent children
Cuz of they're pigment
Written in they tradition
They killing us with precision
No longer can play the victim
So listen to what I'm spitting
I know you hear me
But does the truth hurt
Cuz how you gonna heal
If you don't even know
That you're cursed
The battle for your souls is real
We gotta do work
And we gon' come up out of this bloody
Like new birth
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Why
Cuz half of ya'll
Don't even know that you're sleeping
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Wake up
You better wake up
Why
Cuz half of ya'll
Don't even know that you're dreaming
