Wake Up Lyrics by Bobby Sanchez

2017

[Verse 1: Time]
We carved an idol out of fear and we called it god
We call it a country but that's how colonists rob
We sell our body for money and we call it a job
Jordan Edwards saw a killer but you call him a cop
You call them presidents and politicians i call them props
Cause they were paid for by a corporation they're all bought
Keep the oil in the soil every year it's more hot
Decolonize your mind the black snake must stop
There's 2 million in cages Mumia's fighting the clock
And Angela Davis and Alexander are picking the locks
I'm trying to fight patriarchy and negative thoughts
Cause what's gender but another cell to lay you in a box?
NSA wanna hear you talk, informants wanna watch you walk
They keep labor on the bottom and capital on top
This is for all the freedom fighters and the ones who fought
And i ain't gonna stop till white supremacy rots

[Verse 2: Bobby Sanchez]
Binary world structure ruptures consciousness connects to earth so wassup
Neocolonial context just puts the
Voice in your head telling you get ya bucks up
The only thing you tryna do is colonize
Monetize, like an angel fly the skies
Politicians not intimidated by these guys they have no spirits and I'm hearing only mostly lies
Who believes in truths no I do not deceive yeah a lot of people drive and do not stop to see
See this come from my soul guess I got to be
More than this life ever promised me
I guess I got it
Most people try to pick pockets
But I know that in my soul this fire is like a rocket and yeah and I do not stop it
Society is divided the soul they go monetize it
The oil they go deposit In our air
Seems like sometimes that this is not fair most care only about a Check and a toll fare go there
Distances closer than breaths in nose hairs oh yeah
Got you feeling like this could be your year so then
Try to comprehend what Ima go send
Out right into the galaxy yeah I know them these stars so that this conscience can
Keep on growing these bars think of the people that they are holding
Chose them
System can't tell you why they are chosen systematic racism yeah it does not make no sense
Prison labor and they say that the wage is four cents
We need to wake up like as if this was the morning
