Shane D'fury - Born Asleep (feat. Karis Opal)

In order to divide us, one must highlight, and expound on what makes us different
But, the truth is that our differences should be celebrated
And though you didn't create this situation, you have the power to change it
And this power is called choice. Karis, weh you a say?

Born asleep, a people brought down upon their knees. Born asleep
Oh please, someone wake us up to reality. Cause we're born asleep

Eyes wide shut, so me need some clarity
Cause it's hard to separate this nightmare from reality, well...
Segregation! What a calamity? Dem conquer and divide us using our diversity
Dem control the media but a different t'ing dem a study
Long Division University full of perversity
Tell the people dem pure lies, straight up audacity
Jah have mercy pon the one dem who no have no courtesy
No have no value fi life, profit from war and strife
Investing millions trying to take over the people dem minds
Tell me how much more time? How many more signs before we
Wake up? Wake up and start to realize cause we...

Born asleep, a people brought down upon their knees. Born asleep
Oh please, someone wake us up to reality. Cause we're born asleep

I've been trying to wake up from this slumber
Seems like these days all we are is numbers
So wake up, pick your head up, it's time to get up
So tired of sleepwalking and all this nonsensical talking
They say we all need to be the same
The truth is that our differences are what keep us sane
Stop conforming, stop your snoring, hear the words I'm saying Oh
So conditioned to believe, that difference is the enemy
But that is not the reality, cause we are...

Born asleep, a people brought down upon their knees. Born asleep
Oh please, someone wake us up to reality. Cause we're born asleep

Not the one to talk about the issues without a solution
But the people first got to wake up and see they need a revolution

I know it's hard to take a chance, it's not too late to escape the trance
It's not too late to do your part, it's not too late to restart

Born asleep, a people brought down upon their knees. Born asleep
Oh please, someone wake us up to reality. Cause we're born asleep
