Wake Up from Being Woke Lyrics by Ryan Parker

2020

[Verse 1]
My gastroenterologist is black
U.S. Surgeon General is, too
Ben Carson, LeBron James
And Tiger Woods are just some names
Of African-Americans who
The police aren't on a mission out to get
Don't you see the irony in it?
That the most famous crime of our generation's time
Ended up when O.J.'s glove didn't fit
[Chorus 1]
Can't you see it's not about or based on color of our skin?
One day we're gonna find out that the joke
Was on all of us around while America burned down
If we don't wake up from being woke
[Verse 2]
If you don't like our country situation
Check out what it's like in other nations
Where there's less opportunity
And the land of the free
Is a dreamt-about, desirous destination
Some people wanna open all our borders
Then do away with L.A. law and order
It's not black versus white
No, it's wrong versus right
It's our country first, or a brand new world order
[Chorus 2]
Can't you see someone will be ruling over you and me
After our country has, we know it has, been choked?
Together we will look around at everything burned down
If we don't wake up from being woke
God help us to wake up from being woke
