​cold awakenings Lyrics by Adé Hakim

ON TO BETTER THINGS

2018

[Verse]
They treat us like a throwaway
But they need us, we the leaders of a golden age
We don't fold or shake up, we stay focused, ayy
You can’t defeat us, we the leaders and we know the game
I win with no debate, but the top's a lonely stage
Your vision weak 'cause you believe in what the program say
It took us under but we overcame, I rather go against the code And break the cycles of a hopeless name
This city needs me, I’mma be right there with open hands
The time is now
So we don't let it go to waste
We're not allowed, to find freedom on this stolen lane
These cops are cowards, lookin' at me in the coldest gaze
That's why they hold they waist up, 'cause they patrol the slaves
They don't want us to wake up, they want us all afraid
They want us all afraid
[Outro: Sample]
No he wasn't
He couldn’t have felt that way
He killed the person after work too
He has no right to feel sad
He doesn’t know what sadness is
You know who has the right to feel sad?
Those kids in those classrooms
Who lost their deepest friends forever here
Those parents who felt helpless
While their child's school is being shot up
