Wake up. Lyrics by SO4P

2020

System gotta break up
The politicians stay frontin'
Wearing all that makeup
Clowns, tryna debate something
This is real life, so real people gotta...

Look, I don't wanna wake up
Knowing I ain't change nothin'
System gotta break up
The politicians stay frontin'
Wearing all that makeup
Clowns, tryna debate something
This is real life, so real people gotta say something

Choppers in my city, I'm afraid I might get sniped down
Tears all on my people's faces
Know they might get wiped down
Amplified my voice
Cuz I know they need me to pipe down
'Fo' someone hear the truth
Cuz with this pen, that's what I write down

Who gon' save the youth from all the trials and tribulations?
That boy don't need no juice
He need accurate education

You can't get it in schools
Where they stifle imagination
But I've always felt a movement brewing
In my generation

It's hard to understand it when they hide the information
But I'm grasping at the root of it
Word to Angela Davis

Cycling through the pages of my predecessors
Ima do my job, but with their help
I bet I'll do it better

Might think it's a hobby
But I gotta do it to the letter...
That's that tea, hot
Make a nigga gotta lose a sweater

No I can't stop
Cuz I see the pavement getting redder
Every last cop
Need to quit their job
And even better...

Tired of seeing pennies trickle down
I need some different weather..
I need reparations
And I prolly need berettas

I need investigations
On the policies that severed
Families for the greed of corporations
Under claims that they making it better

They take whoever into the system..
Money fighting cases
So no wonder they dismiss them...

How could a hero ever have this many victims? Huh?
And you expect me to forgive them?

Well damn I can't do it..
The same way mayors watch a video
And can't prove it
See Martin had a dream
And now my people dream lucid
And I still see the shadows
Of Klan members with nooses..
The truth is..

I want the needle moved
I gotta find a way to move it
We gotta watch the way
We putting people on a pulpit
Everyone got a voice
But they all need a chance to use it...
This shit way bigger than inclusion

Black lives matter
That should never be confusing
And if we not fighting for all Blacks
We losing

This shit for Tony, Iyanna
For Emmett and those cooped in
My people dying
I can't judge no looting

This for those that's studying
And this for those that's hooping..
This for the ruthless
And for those that's living roofless...
For those with disabilities
Still pushing through it...

I know it feels impossible
But, trust me we can do it

And I don't wanna wake up
Knowing I ain't change nothin'
System gotta break up
The politicians stay frontin'
Wearing all that makeup
Clowns, tryna debate something
This is real life, so real people gotta say something
