K The Artist - Wake Up

I want to turn the whole world on
Just for a moment
If only
Uh
Wake up
Uh
Wake up
Wake up
Let's talk about homicide
Why do hominids
Want they momma crying
Over wars that they ain't even start
But dying
Heard a thousand kids
Nan one alive
I know
I know they father tired
Of a gruesome scene
I ain't one to lie
Why do European mass administration
Love to kill the land
And the ones that saved it
Know my people grand
Know it's hurting ain't it
I still see enslavement
We don't want your hand
You just here to take it
We don't steal the land
That my people waded
Through the blood
That you spilled
Tryna shape it
Every narrative ain't an opportunity to hear it out
Killed in our community
They air it out
All across the globe
Know our whereabouts
Preaching about unity
But wear it out
Cuz they really wanna see us dead
Your color important
At least what they said
They hung us as ornaments
Said we won't men
You said we was dormant
With chains round our hands
I feel so exploited
Put change on our heads
They kill all our leaders
Then send us to bed
They hope you not on it
But know you ain't scared
I just don't know what's ahead
I'm cooking like Forman
Ain't nothing unsaid
I fly like a hornet
Won't never misled
Your thoughts are important
But coping instead
They just say get to the bread
Be cold in the moment
Know hoping ain't dead
Our lives are the shortest
So real shit I bled
Got love from the poorest decent
But I tread
Uh
Wake up
Uh
Wake up
Wake up
