Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm,
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
Wake up, wake up, the sun is saying,
I know you're still in dream land,
But just come back.
I know you're afraid of me and the days of the world,
But open your eyes and you'll see that I'm shining for you.
Wake up, wake up, the sky is up telling,
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
I know you're afraid of me and the best of the world,
Open your eyes and you'll see that I'm smiling for you.
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm,
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm...
Wake up, wake up, the bird is up singing,
I know the good times that are coming your way.
I know you're afraid of me and the love of the world,
You put your cleanest dirty shirt on
Then you stagger down to meet the dawn
You take a ride upon a bus, it's just a fuss
You know it keeps you born
You get to know a morning face
You get to join the human race
You get to know the world
Has passed you by
Who cares? You might be dead
Who cares? You stayed in bed
Who cares? You wrote the note
Who cares? You might have spoke
Wake up!
You take a snack to fill the gap
And then you're ready for another shift
Your attention was diverted
By the girl who smiled and made the lift
The radio is blaring out
It's in one ear and then it's out
You didn't notice that the record's over
Who cares? You might be dead
Who cares? You stayed in bed
Who cares? You wrote the note
Who cares? You might have spoke
Wake up!
In the road a crowd had gathered
And a man was close to dead
The blood is running down the gutter
While you're yawning, nothing's said
His body's wriggling like an eel
They got no sense, no touch, no feel
Somebody better go and get a blanket
Who cares? You might be dead
Who cares? You stayed in bed
Who cares? You wrote the note
Who cares? You might have spoke
Let me see the sunshine. Let me feel the rain.
Let me go where I wanna go.
Well I want to smell the flowers, see the dawn again.
Find those friends I used to know.
Find those friends I used to know.
Well I spent twenty long years in a dirty old prison cell.
I never saw the light of day.
If you could understand, oh that kind of living hell.
That's the price I had to pay. Oh yeah!
That's the price I had to pay.
They say I killed a man, but I never told 'em why.
So you can guess what I've been through.
And so for twenty long years I've been thinking of that other guy
and what I saw him do to you.
What I saw him do to you.
Listen. So when tomorrow comes and I walk outside that door,
try to understand the strain.
But if you smile that smile I know I couldn't ask for more.
I know I'd do it all again. Yes I would.
I know I'd do it all again.
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Each day more frightening.
All of us wanna die.
The pressure's tightening.
I don't even want to try.
Should I take all the stupid bullshit.
What makes them think they can get away with
I'm not happy.
I wish they just...
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
I can't take no more.
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers.
Each one I would die for.
Please just let it go.
All the heads are blown.
Let's take the stage and remember what we play
for.
No more fighting!!
I swear I'm gonna leave.
Talking shit to spite me.
I wish we just..
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
Wake the fuck up!
I can't take no more.
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers.
Each one I would die for.
Please just let it go.
All the heads are blown.
Let's take the stage and remember what we play
for.
I can't take no more.
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers.
Each one I would die for.
Please just let it go.
All the heads are blown.
Let's take the stage and remember what we play
for.
Remember what we play for.
Words and music by Greg Hough and Bob Hartman
I know that you been scheming
Trying to run my head around
But I know all about you girl
You've been lost - But I've been found
Woman don't you know
You ain't gonna pull me down
I told you 'bout a new way
Of livin' life and having fun
I told you 'bout the Spirit
And walking in the light of the Son
Woman don't you know
I ain't gonna come undone
I told you about Salvation
But you don't seem to want no part
You've been trying to take me
You've been trying to steal my heart
Woman don't you know
I ain't gonna have no part
wake up, wake up, i don't wanna wake up, wake up.
wake up, wake up, i don't wanna wake up, wake up.
get on straight never switch lane...'cause it's hard not to see
i came up in a big way and i hardly ever sleep well it's like a dream
i don't wanna wake up from, don't wanna wake up from
i don't wanna wake up from, don't wanna wake up from
ohh, long days, what i know hard work place
all the money getting long to
and the cush male strong too,
that's that good any chick ...need a .. too
one thing i know is go hard young make fake niggas know this
blowing money 'cause you die if you don't live
that's how you know i was fly when i wrote this
first class tax or maybe i'm the first 'cause it's my first class swag
..i was dripin' ....
chorus:
get on straight never switch lane...'cause it's hard not to see
i came up in a big way and i hardly ever sleep well it's like a dream
i don't wanna wake up from, don't wanna wake up from
i don't wanna wake up from, don't wanna wake up from.
go hard young, go hard.. let you in the game better play your part
go hard young, go hard and if you win the game as well place smart
'cause i've seen niggas fall like paper, got money scene friend turn haters
got money ..turn major, got money why people turn neighbors
me to girl teach her how to roll papers, six months three place
.... run my town like the .. run my town b*tch like a ..
[chorus:]
i can take you up higher than you ever know
..what you want ..let go, hell no
You like snow but only if it's warm
You like rain but only if it's dry
No sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor
No fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
You like pain but only if it doesn't hurt too much
And you sit...and you wait...to receive
There's an abvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life
There's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistance
Could make you try tonight
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you to you to you to you to you...
There's no love no money no thrill anymore
There's an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
There's an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand
But it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you
get up get up get up off of it
get up get up get up off of it
get out get outta here enough already
get up get up get up off of it
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
The ghetto motherfucking alarm clock
Wake up nigga
[Z-Ro]
Lord forgive us for sinning, give us this day and our daily bread
Cause if a nigga don't call you back when you beep him, he might be dead
Look at this world we living in, everybody got a bad attitude and a glock
Seem like we living just to become a victim, of a random shot
Everytime I turn my back, another y'all motherfuckers turn and crack
It seem like just yesterday, a young nigga stepped up to the plate and
Learn to bat, military minded at a early age bread to live in a murder maze
I don't wanna go to the early grave, a motherfucker like me
Ready to murder maze, I wanna go to heaven but not right now
Bout to pushing infrared like dimes, what you wanna do it like that
I can play eight to the Penn, cut your lights off right now
Mean what I say and I say what I mean, nigga like me don't play with a beam
When I pull my gun, then I'ma use my gun
And I ain't tripping, I'll put you in a murder scene
But I try to stay humble, and hold what I got
Never let a nigga know what I got, keep my bidness to my own
So don't bring none of that there, to my home
I love my people, and that's a fact
But I wanna know, where's the fucking love at
I don't wanna put a motherfucker, in the grave
But I will to keep on, keeping on busting back
[Hook - 2x]
Wake up before you get caught up
Don't keep on selling your soul, until your life bought up
And my eyes on the prize, and never fall off the straight and I roll
When you slip, hollow tips are sharper than an arrow
[Z-Ro]
I decided August 31, 1999
There's no more time for fake partnas, there's only time for my grind
All of my friendships came about, because of the verses I say
That nigga Z-Ro got partnas, but what about Joseph McVey
Everytime I'm on the microphone, nigga wanna tag along
Wanna see me, when I do my song
Or when a nigga be smoking the marijuana, and the dope all gone
A nigga right back, all alone
I had to regulate, or be surrounded by fakes
At all times looking over my shoulder, but I came out of that as I got older
Cause I realized, if it's written scriptures don't lie
That's why I'm thugging cause life is a bitch, and then a nigga die
I rap about the struggle, cause balling is foreign to me
Z-Ro be t-shirt and Dickies, ain't no Ralph Lauren you see
Cause every dolla that I make, is a dolla well earned
And I'm putting it back in the game, to sco' some crack
And a strap, to dip sherms
Hopefully I can make it, to see the sun rise
Fiending for them back in the days, of hide and seek
And throwing mud pies
[Hook - 2x]
[Mussilini]
Bout to swang by that sun, is wait for me be right back
I'ma roll a optimoe fat as a wiener, and light that
Cause it seems I can't confine without, clutching a sack
Puffing the sho' dipping the black, or raping the track
And I be tripping and sipping, and pimping this rap
I'm writing my rhymes, through my fetty's no slack
I'm ready to the sell the, the better my chedda
Tell her to the fella, I doubts the shredder
A better competor, I dwell I'ma get her
Better get fella, I sell-a my yella
To hella thoed nigga, that wreck accapella
The fella that tell it, nobody he got em
He got 'em and shot em, and don't talk about em
Plotted and followed, to get where I started
Out of my product, the plot of my problem
Got off my bottom, to talk to my father
My ceiling is ending, my ending is finished
These women keep grinning, to swim in my linen
I'm tilling my bidness, the bidness I'm tilling
I'm tilling my bidness, the bidness I'm tilling
What's up what's up, had lean in my cup
Been asleep ten years, and I just woke up
The alarm on slow, all my ten minutes up
Gotta make my bed, gotta watch my butt
Gotta clean my room, gotta iron my stuff
Gotta wash my car, gotta shine my buck
Gotta change my oil, cause the road is tough
Wake up!
You can't remember where it was
Has this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold
Glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisons
And she was beside me, old,
She's, no; young.
He dark red hair
Her white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom,
Look!
She's coming in here.
I can't live thru each slow century of her moving
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood
I saw you smile, I saw you true, I saw you through
Today you're in your best disguise
Where are you now musician, lost your speech, where are you now
You dragon tamer, tell me please, where are your heroes now
Wake up, you forsaken heaven's sheep, your heaven's cheap
Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, I know you've got a sun inside
I saw you turn, I saw you burn today, your flickering, empty eyes hurt me like pins
Are you still in, tell me...
Where are you now, magician, lost your wand, where are the dreams
That you have dreamt....when you were a hero
Where are you now, where have you gone, you're much too beautuful
To slip into oblivion
Wake up, you forsaken heaven's sheep, your heaven's cheap
Wake up, open your eyes, feel the might of the light, I know you've got a sun inside
I saw you turn, I saw you burn today, your flickering, empty eyes hurt me like pins
Are you still in, tell me...
I know you'e got a sun inside, I know you've got a sun inside...
I know you've got a sun
I know you've got a sun
[Chorus]
(One) gun go off, showin' everything is lost
(Two) hold between me and you, these the rules, c'mon
(Three) yo, we gotta stand together to take cream'n
(Four) without me and you the crew just could never be
[Verse 1:]
Imaginative mental, blood flyin'
the most hardest niggas cock they iron
foul, live like a Lion
listen to the streets and your gun go off
sorta like a show off
jungle way of livin', hittin' dro off
lifestyle changes niggas see that
they gettin' anxious just to throw one in your ski hat
watch your language, yeah, you fresher than a Million bucks
you got a new hustle, you hardly knew niggas would envy lust
they gettin' hungrier and niggas bust
they lit a bigger dutch
fixin' them Calicos to dig your guts
detectives roam
niggas come home and got a bigger dome
ready to zone on what a nigga own
caught in the mischief
how can you live when it's a sickness
that sorrounds that projects and the trenches
walkin' through the bushes at night
you gotta be sharp like a butcher knife
subtly show up when the jooks is right
and everything will have a major like
whether it's black or white
nobody knows until they snatch your life
wake up son, the season's just a thing the mind make up
it's only real kid, ha, wake up!
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2:]
The meat market pardon me, the heat market
chill, we got it on lock, the nigga got to sweet talkin'
I gotta eat and got the beast targeted
relax, my Brothers on 'role, niggas got police barkin'
they want us killed, sieze the sargent
blowin' each cartridge
we ill, realer in each market
feel the leather jacket, sleek ostrich
unleash the arsonist, just popped the wig off of each hostage
make it real and make his niece watch it
yokin' Grandmothers up, we kill until his peeps squash it
verse is somethin' mean regardless
a green jar of harvest
just smoke, niggas got the green Garcia's
a terrifying team of heartless
move on the Narcs's
we only on it for extreme profits
and anyway we dream darkness
I saw it through the Jean Paul Gotier mint green gleam optics
So wake up Son, the season's just a thing the mind make up
it's only real kid, ha, wake up.
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3:]
A message from Elijah's kids
my eyes opened, got wise on the biz
start risin' my wig
seen everything I saw before
had dreams behind a wall
all I wanted was to balance my all
make it through feedin' my kind
readin' the lines
on how the dollar bill is shaped and designed
taught from the Eighties
talk, build, and protect all Babies
strong shelters with strong Ladies
a nigga died, died amongst Daisies
he did it for the Babies
thats peace, feed 'em if they gettin' lazy.
I think this is a vamp essentially on A and Dmaj7 which are probably the main chords
in "Must be my imagination" quoted near the end.
To my ears it sounds as though the intro is something like this.
Hit the A string A6(pull off to)A/EA

The Summer's left a spell on us, magic and gold
The tarmac's cracked and shimmering, up on the road
I know I'm walking with an angel down a hot avenue
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
I've been dreamin for too long
I guess something's always wrong unless I

"Where is she right now? Cause I want you and I need you"
And I wanna hear her say: "Hey baby, Wake up!" (bass riff from

Wake up!
You can't remember where it was.
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold
Glazed & shrunken.
We were afraid to touch it.
The sheets were hot dead prisons.
And she was beside me.
Old, she's numb.
Her dark, red hair,
The white soft skin.
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom,
Look!
She's coming in here
I can't live thru each slow century of her moving.
I let my cheek slide down
The cool smooth tile
Feel the good cold stinging blood
The smooth hissing snakes of rain...
Wake up!
Wakey, wakey, eggs and bacey
Use your noses, wake up
Smell the coffee, smell the coffee
Smell the roses, use your noses
I want - more money
more booze
more fun
I'm not done
I want - more money
More of you honey
More fun
I'm not done, I'm not done
Wake up!
Snap out of it, rise and shine
You snooze, shine and rise, you lose
Smell the coffee, smell the coffee
Smell the roses, use your noses
I want - girls and boys
More noise
More three ways
24hours
More of you, more of me
You used to be my closest ally
In this cold cold world of deception and lies
We would defend and protect one another
Now I can't tell if we're enemies or lovers
So who's gonna rescue us from ourselves
When we gonna wake up baby?
When it's time for lovin'
When we gonna wake up my baby?
Before it's too late?
Oh, baby, where did we go wrong, baby?
Did this cold, cold world turn us into stone?
Now all I battle is your ego and your pride
It's ticking like a time bomb, ready too ignite
Hurtin' me to fight
Who's gonna rescue us from ourselves
When we gonna wake up baby?
It's time for lovin'
When it's time for lovin'
Before it's too late?
When the smoke clears
What will be left for us but tears and pain
Why must we argue over the same things
Just to make up and go back again
It's never too late
But it's been too long
Can't get it right when no one thinks they're wrong
Gotta get out of bed
Eh yo Hov, tell em, hip hop betta wake up
Yeah, turn the muhfuckin music up
Yeah, turn the muhfuckin music up
Motherfuckers betta wake up, stop sellin crack to the black
Hope you bought a spare for your flat

Couple of karats in my ear wont hurt
Need a nice chain layin on this thousand $ shirt
Evisu cover the rectum, i kick game just like David Beckham

Ima be this way until the cops come catch em
To detective sketch em on the sidewalk wit chalk New Yorks infections
Till i got taught a lesson
Couple niggaz gone couple wink corrections
And Marie got 10, Tie got 15 nigga even my kin
Got 5 years bringin 19 in, i just think i used to think like them
Now they gotta live through the pictures that i send em in the pen
Hope you dont start yah life where i end
If I had a lighter in hands
With some oily rags
Is that what it'd take
To wake you from your sleep?
Woke up from your American dreams
To be surrounded
Surrounded in flames!
You got to SCREAM
TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
AND I WON'T STOP SCREAMING
UNTIL MINE IS HEARD!
Wake Up!
Wake Up!
To the world around you

You're angered
That you're five minutes late.
What happens next time
When we will stop you all day?
Yeah, next time
When we will stop you all day?
You got to SCREAM
TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!

How long you gonna sleep
How long you gonna act like you gonna act
Be how you wanna be
So when you gonna see
You need to get the facts but you wanna laugh
At what I'm gonna speak
You steady sinking deep
Plus ya sinking fast why you running back
Man why you wanna leave
So whats it gonna be
You need to get with that but your missed the fact
That what I'm gonna speak
This aint all a dream
You can try to dash but you gonna have
To face your reality
So this is what I seen
One day it's gonna crash then you'll understand
Everything I'm gonna mean
Wake up wake up
Wake up wake why are you falling asleep
So what you wanna do
You turn off the lights then you run and hide
And act like you never knew
Man you aint gotta clue
But you think you're right every single time you
Do what you wanna do
So when you gonna choose
When you gonna try to find your peace of mind
It's right there in front of you
It's time to make a move
You can still deny but the time's running out
Very very soon
So what I gotta prove
Why you walking blind when the signs
Is so obviously coming thru
Man this is now for you
You can try to lie and just still deny
What you expected from his next of kin
I'm loco bro, but ain't no Mexican
I got nines in the bedroom, glocks in the kitchen
A shotty by the shower if you wanna shoot me while I'm shittin
The lesson from the Smith and Wessun is depressin
Niggaz keep stressin, the same motherfuckin question
How many shots does it take, to make my heart stop
and my body start to shake, if I should die before I wake
I'm here, I'm watching you (if I should die before I wake)
Love, the flesh, my blood's pourin through (if I should die before I wake)
This, can be, reality (if I should die before I wake)
Wake, up, my dead face I see (if I should die before I wake)
My dead face I see, my dead face I SEE!!
On your mark, get set, when I spark you're wet
Look how dark it get when you're marked wit death
Should I, start your breath or should I let you die
If he start to cry, ask why?
Lyrically, I'm worshipped, don't front, the word's sick
You cursed it, but rehearsed it
I drop unexpectedly like bird shit
You herbs get, stomped quickly for raw T's and show money
Don't forget the publishin, I'm punishin
I'm done wit them, son I'm surprised you run wit them
I think they got cumin, cause they nothin but bitch
Tryna blow up like nitro wit dynamite sticks
Mad I smoke, but yo I rock diamonds that's sick
Got paper off my flow, ride wit my own click
Take chicks to Cairo, layin wit yo' bitch
I know you playin you was rich
Fuck you prick, when I see you I'ma..
I am here, I'm watching you (when I see you I'ma..)
Love, the flesh, my blood's pourin through (when I see you I'ma..)
This, can be, reality (when I see you I'ma..)
Wake, up, my dead face I see (when I see you I'ma..)
My dead face I see (when I see you I'ma..), my dead face I SEE!!
Dirty fingers, please believe us
Everybody dies
Guilty perfect, murder suspect
That was not your crime
You never do nothing (hey) and that's all you do (hey)
You never get lonely cause nobody gets you
Wake up, wake up
Bell tolls for you, bell tolls for you
The weight has been hard on your back
You're wearing well out of respect
Slowly it's dragging you down
I'd never call it that
You're running away and you feel
The voices are way too loud
You never do nothing (hey) and that's all you do (hey)
You never get lonely cause nobody gets you
Wake up, wake up
Bell tolls for you, bell tolls for you
I can be sorry for this
So give me the pain I will swallow it
I can be taller than this
So light up the way, I will grow with it
I can hail Mary's for this
So I can remain always positive
I can be smarter than this
And then I can be on my
Way, way
Falling for it positively
Moment that I saw you in the way
Oh, way, oh, way, oh, way.
You never do nothing and that's all you do
You never get lonely and nobody gets you
Wake up, wake up
Bell tolls for you, bell tolls for you
Wake up, wake up
Bell tolls for you, bell tolls for you
Got no feeling, got no reason
[Missy Elliott]
Eh yo Hov, tell em, hip hop betta wake up

[Verse 1 Missy Elliott]
Motherfuckers betta wake up, stop sellin crack to the black

Cause music be our first love, say i do lets cherish it
[Chorus]
If you dont gotta gun (its alright)
If yah makin legal money, (its alright)
If you gotta keep yah clothes on, (its alright)
You ain't got a cellular phone, (its alright)
And yah wheels dont spin, (its alright)
And you gotta wear them jeans again, (its alright)
Yeah if you tried oh well, (its alright)
MC's stop the beef lets sell, (its alright)
[Verse 2 Missy Elliott]
Hip hop betta wake up, the bed to make up
Some of ya'll be faker than a dragon make-up
Got issues to take up before we break up
Like Electra let go miss Selida Baker
I love Jocob, the jury wont fix my place up
Gotta stay up, studio nice to cake up
Now check my flava, rich folks is now my neighbors
I got cable, now check it how i make my paper
Hip hop dont stop be my life saver
Like Kobe and Shaq if they left Lakers
And like a elevator dj on a cross fader
Black wake up i'll see yah ass later
[Chorus x1]
[Verse 3 Jay-Z (Missy Elliott)]
I need rims that dont listen and boomin system
First piece of change i see im gon' get one
745 no license to drive
I aint even gotta home i gots to live in my ride, fuck it
(Rewind)
I can hear myself but i cant feel myself
I wanna feel myself like Tweet
745 no license to drive
I aint even gotta home i gots to live in my ride, fuck it
Couple of karats in my ear wont hurt
Need a nice chain layin on this thousand $ shirt
Evisu Jeans cover the rectum, i kick game just like David Beckham
Anybody in my way i wet them
Ima be this way until the cops come catch em
To detective sketch em on the sidewalk wit chalk New Yorks infections
Till i got taught a lesson
Couple niggaz gone couple wink corrections
And Marie got 10, Tie got 15 nigga even my kin
Got 5 years bringin 19 in, i just think i used to think like them
Now they gotta live through the pictures that i send em in the pen
Hope you dont start yah life where i end
WAKE UP [x15]
[Chorus x1]
You subsidize the cops
It's your protection from the mob
Described so well in the daily mail
As nothing more than yobs
It's always been the same
Until there came the day
When a friend of yours was sent to court
For just being in the way
Now you'd march against the uniforms
Your taxes pay to stop you
Except you need permission
And they said they wouldn't let you
It's protection for the masses
It's a war on terror thing
Keep the people in their houses
and they'll never feel a thing
Put your money where your guilt is
In the bank and in the church
It's where the love of greed and souls
That need exoneration merge
No more cash when lives are trashed
Just figures on the screen
We're all in debt learn to accept
The cure for this disease
If we're all in this together
It's the shit they've put us in
Repeat the lie until they either riot or give in
As disbelief in systems tries to reason with insistence
That the way you think is something to be classified as bad
It will send you down the learning curve
From I accept to I deserve
The time it takes between them
Is the best you've ever had
Got no time for waiting
Got no time to waste
Everywhere machines here
Set a deadly pace
Got no time for questions
You have work to do
Got no time to stand now
If you stop, you lose
Just breathe in
Then breathe out
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
And even if you run, the story's the same
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
You're just stuck in this game
Got no time for dreaming
Follow your commands
Got no time for chances
Or to understand
Got no time for lovers
We all fight alone
No one sees you bleeding
No one hears your moans
Just breathe in
Then breathe out
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
And even if you run, the story's the same
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
You're just stuck in this game
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
And even if you run, the story's the same
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
You're just stuck in this game
Your life is seeping through your fingers like sand
And time, it flies like the wind
You run in circles and you're losing your mind
But all you want is to win
Just breathe in
Then breathe out
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
And even if you run, the story's the same
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
You're just stuck in this game
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
And even if you run, the story's the same
Wake up!
Now you're stuck in this game
You're just stuck in this game
Wake up!
Wake up!
I've been buried in the sand
I've come down with no place to land
I don't need you to understand
It's not what I had planned
All the hunger, all the yearning
With the lifeline that you're burning
Poison lessons that you're learning
The road ahead is turning
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
Stick together side by side
We no longer need to hide
From the darkness into the light
Now is your time
I need something to numb the pain
Forget me and forget my name
Waiting for the time to arrive
No one gets out of here alive
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
Wake Up! Wake Up!
I've been buried in the sand
I've come down with no place to land
I don't need you to understand
It's not what I had planned
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
Wake up in the middle of the night
With my girl beside me feeling naughty
Just watching her lay there
Such a sexy atmosphere
She.. hand on the pillow
Got me feeling to myself
Here we go
[Chorus:]
I know I should go back to sleep
But I can't help it you have taken it girl
I'm not a.. but I can be if you let me
Touch it, harder..
So many things that I wanna do that involves you
But first I need you
To make love
I know that you feel that
Wake up
I can tell by the way your arching your back and look me like that
Wake up it's early in the morning
But that ain't mean I don't wanna a piece of you
Wake up
When I came with the fellows at 12
.. all day got me tired as hell
But it don't matter cause I wanna get at you
I'm right there behind you thinking my..
I can't believe it
So I'm gonna take this to another level
[Chorus:]
I know you're gonna get up in a minute
But I can't make it girl
I'm not a.. but I can be if you let me
Touch it, harder..
So many things that I wanna do that involves you
But first I need you
To make love
I know that you feel that
Wake up
I can tell by the way your arching your back and look me like that
Wake up it's early in the morning
But that ain't mean I don't wanna a piece of you
Wake up
I got to be on you really on you
Baby touch me
Wake up baby
You don't have to move it girl
I'll make you wanna get into it
Once I'll do it
You will be wide awake
[Chorus:]
I know you're gonna get up in a minute
But I can't make it girl
I'm not a.. but I can be if you let me
Touch it, harder..
So many things that I wanna do that involves you
But first I need you
To make love
I know that you feel that
Wake up
I can tell by the way your arching your back and look me like that
Wake up it's early in the morning
But that ain't mean I don't wanna a piece of you
Well I'll wake up around 4:05.
Eat, shower, and get dressed in about an hour's time.
Take my vitamins, check my messages, and call around to some friends,
make plans for dinner and drinks sometime after 9:00.
We're definately going to call it in early tonight.
Well, I need to dry out and take some time to clear my mind.
Now before you know it here I am again, it's fucking 2:00 in the morning,
standing in a bar, with a drink in hand.
How low can you go before you can't turn around?
Now seriously, this is my last and final time.
Well I'm making some big, big changes in my life.
No, you won't catch me down here again, waiting to score sweaty money palmed into my hand.
What the fuck are you cutting this with anyway?
Because I have got some really, really big plans.
And today's the day I'm putting them into action.
But before you know it, here I am again. It's fucking 6:00 in the morning.
Rolled up dollar bill in my hand.
How low can you go before you can't turn around?
And I'm sick of feeling like I'm losing my mind.
Sick of doing the same things night after night.
Sick of self-loathing and self-absorbtion,
self-destructive narcissism.
I'm sick to death of being constantly fucking sick of.
I don't know who I can trust.
(Wake up), (wake up)
(Get up)
(Wake up), (wake up)
(Get up)
(Wake up)
When I woke up this morning and got out the bed
I had some really fresh thoughts going through my head
they were thoughts that came from a wonderful dream
it was the vision of a world working as a team
it was a dream (get up)
just a dream (wake up), (wake up), (get up)
There were no guns, no what
no tanks, no what, atomic bombs
and to be frank homeboy there were no arms
just people, working hand in hand
there was a feeling of peace all across the land
it was a dream (wake up)
just a dream (get up), (wake up), (wake up)
Between all countries there were good releations
there finally was a meeting to united nations
and everybody had an occupation
'cause we all worked together to fight starvation
it was a dream (wake up)
just a dream (wake up), (get up)
Everyone was treated on an equal basis
no matter what colors, religions or races
we weren't afraight to show our faces
it was cool to chill in foreign places
it was a dream (get up)
just a dream (wake up), (wake up), (get up)
(wake up), (wake up), (get up), (wake up)
All cities of the world were renovated
and the people all chilled and celebrated
they were all so happy and elated
to live in the world that they created
it was a dream (get up)
just a dream (wake up), (wake up), (get up)
There were no street people, we live rent free
and every single person had a place to be
a job, a home and the perfect pay
and the world was free of greed and hate
it was a dream (wake up)
just a dream (get up), (wake up), (wake up)
Unemployment was at a record low
and the presidents were chillin at our show
listening to the things that we had to say
and trying to create a new and brighter day
it was a dream (wake up)
just a dream (wake up)
it was a dream (get up)
just a dream (wake up)
it was a dream (wake up)
just a dream (get up)
it was dream (wake up)
just a dream (wake up)
(get up), (wake up), (wake up)
(get up), (wake up), (wake up)
(get up), (wake up), (wake up)

You see me - I see through you
You say fuck me - I say fuck you
You don't love me - I don't love you
I rise above and I say "Fuck You Bitch"
I don't know how I find the power
To face all these fucking cowards
All I really wanna do is disembowel one every hour
Go home smoke a joint
and beat off in the shower
Then dispose of all the evidence
and pop a couple downers
If you know me then you know I really have no friends
Get hi a lot - I drink and drive a lot
The innocent they die a lot
Now don't be fooled when you see me smile a lot
'cause I'll go punk rock
Blow up your whole block
Wake Up
Wake up motherfucker wake up
I don't give a fuck motherfucker wake up
You're not punk rock bitch
You just a punk
Die motherfucker die mothefucker die
Die motherfucker die mothefucker die
Get hi motherfucker hi motherfucker hi
We ride motherfucker or motherfuckin die
Semper fi
I'm ready for a fight
These First Amendment rights
are guaranteed to me
Regardless if I say shit you don't like
So every night I grab the mic
I spit shit just for spite
If I can't push some buttons
Why the fuck should I recite
Poems are meant to shed some light
On all these hyprocrits and sodomites
Buddy I'll incite a riot in this twilight zone tonight
'cause I don't give a fuck
Now shut the fuck up
Or I'll go straight punk
Blow the whole block up
Wake Up....
Why is life as cold as hell
and why can't I control myself
Why am I so insecure
I don't even know myself
Yea I'm so fuckin immature
I tried to grow hydro myself
If I had the power I'd bring back the Twin Towers myself
Then I'd gather up all the Alquaeda cowards
Now ya all burn in hell
Now ya get what you deserve
Now ya know not to fuck with my brother Nick Berg
Now shut the fuck up
Or I'll go straight punk
Blow ya whole block up

With some oily rags
Is that what it'd take
To wake you from your sleep?
Woke up from your American dreams
To be surrounded
Surrounded in flames!
You got to SCREAM

You got to SCREAM

There's people talking
They talk about me
They know my name
They think they know everything
But they don't know anything
About me
Give me a dance floor
Give me a DJ
Play me a record
Forget what they say
?Cause I need to go
Need to get away tonight
I put my makeup
On a Saturday night
I try to make it happen
Try to make it all right
I know I make mistakes
I'm living life day to day
It's never really easy
But it's ok
Wake up! Wake up!
On a Saturday night
Could be New York
Maybe Hollywood and Vine
London, Paris
Maybe Tokyo
There's something going on
Anywhere I go tonight

Sick of all the same routines
And they need to go
They need to get away tonight

Oooooh
Hey mom, concerned with what I've become
Suicidal maybe, satanic maybe
On drugs, on off and back on
I'm an enigma, I'm pissed off at everything and
Everyone thinks that I'm headstrong
I've been too hard on you far too many times for us to
Go back, forget what's said and what's done
I can't help myself I just need to shake myself and
Wake up, hug kiss and make up
Tell you that I'm sorry and that you shouldn't
Worry about this stuff
Hey love don't let me down
You know I'm lost when you are not around
You tell me lies and put me on
You make me mad enough to kill you in song
And I say words, things that I regret
I get so clumsy when I'm scared, I try to walk away but
I look back, remember where I belong
Wake up now its ten o clock
Lights a cigarette and starts to cough his lungs up
Imagine all the things you'd do
If you could only get out of bed, before noon
Check tomorrow's T.V. guide
I'm living the days of our lives

Who feeds the hand - beggin' for bread
Who tell me who
Who heals the pain - when hearts feel so sad
Who tell me who
We're watching children die
don't wanna hear about why
ran out of reasons to cry
While it kills you and me - but we all let it be
CHORUS
Wake up - somebody wake up
somebody help me try
Wake up - somebody wake up
somebody open our eyes
Who counts the sin - in a holy war
Who tell me who
Who's gonna open - when you knock on a door
Who tell me who
We're counting tears in the rain
wasting our time - insane and in vain
look for somebody to blame
while it kills you and me - we all let it be

Is it a dream?
Or is it real
Is it a dream
I don't know
Had a dream last night, I let you down
(I let you down, down)
Never paid you attention when my boys came around
(Came around, round round round)
And even though I lied and caused you hurt
I never meant to hurt you
The joke was on me cause you left me first
Shoulda loved you when you were ready
Meet you when you were ready
But it's over, really over now, now
And time stood still when you left me
(Still when you left me)
And I'm hurting, really hurting now, now
Hope this dream don't come truuee
Don't wanna lose my booo
Time stood still when you left me
(Still when you left me)
I'm hurting, really hurting now, now
Came home from the studio expect to see your face
(no ones there)
I miss your kiss, your love, your warm embrace
(warm embrace)
Our bed, our sheets, our pillows
Is playing in the background
I feel like a child who lost his mother
And I don't know how to act
Shoulda loved you when you were ready
Been true when you were ready
But it's over, really over now, now
And time stood still when you left me
(Still when you left me)
And I'm hurting, really hurting now, now
Hope this dream don't come truuee
Don't wanna lose my booo
Time stood still when you left me
(Still when you left me)
I'm hurting, really hurting now, now
Somebody pinch me, wake me up from this nightmare
Ohhh a Ohhh a
Because my baby's left me, damn I miss my girl like
Ohh a Ohh a
I should have got it together, when up from the start
Never saw it coming, us falling apart
Girl this can't be real
I gotta wake up before I lose my baby
Shoulda loved you when you were ready
Been true when you were ready
But it's over, really over now, now
And time stood still when you left me
(Still when you left me)
And I'm hurting, really hurting now, now
Hope this dream don't come truuee
Don't wanna lose my booo
Time stood still when you left me
(Still when you left me)
I'm hurting, really hurting now, now
I gotta wake up, wake up, wake up...
I gotta wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up...
You like snow but only if it's warm
You like rain but only if it's dry
No sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor
No fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
You like pain but only if it doesn't hurt too much
And you sit...and you wait...to receive
There's an abvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life
There's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistance
Could make you try tonight
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you to you to you to you to you...
There's no love no money no thrill anymore
There's an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
There's an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand
But it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you
get up get up get up off of it
get up get up get up off of it
get out get outta here enough already
get up get up get up off of it
wake up
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Right
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
Take off and go to somewhere else
I’d like to see what would happen to you
Transfix the clock
The past cannot talk
To tell you that this is deadly
One year older
One year meaner
One year uglier
One more reason
One more riot
One more left to go!
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
We all came here to witness this
To watch you fall and see nothing new
But I've got some news and this war is on
Destined to take it all
One year older
One year meaner
One year uglier
One more reason
One more riot
One more left to go!
Don’t be afraid of the future
It doesn’t include you, it only removes you
Don’t be afraid of the future
It doesn’t include you, it only removes you
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up
Wake up
It’s time to go
You better leave now
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Open eyes, open eyes, open eyes.
Open eyes, open eyes, open eyes.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Open eyes, open eyes, open eyes.
Stretch arms, stretch legs, and feet and toes.
Stretch arms, stretch legs, and feet and toes.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
You go to school with your head held down
You try to fit in but they push your out
Too many people put your face in the ground
You'll get them back you'll get them
Even if you gotta wait it out the rage is out
And you feel like you're worthless
When you're breakin' down
No one's around there's gotta be somethin' better than this
You wanna feel like you're livin'
[Chorus]
Wake up wake up son it's just a voice in your head
Get up get up tell 'em what you should have said
I know they get to ya but you got a future
Don't let 'em take you done
Wake up wake up boy you're gonna live again
You think an attitude can make you cool
Sick and tired of being everyone's fool
You think daddy's gun is gonna erase all the scars and the pain
But you better weigh it out don't ever doubt
In one moment your life can change
It's easy now to live it down
You say you feel like a number now
But you're more than a number
[Bridge]
You can waste your time try to
Find someone to blame and let it out
But all you need to hear is everything is gonna be fine
Somethin' - filled up - my heart - with nothin' - someone - told me
not to cry. - but now that - i'm older - my heart's - colder - and i
can - see that it's a lie.
children - wake up - hold your - mistake up - before they - turn the
summer into dust. - if the children - don't grow up - our bodies get
bigger. but - our hearts get torn up - we're just - a million little
gods causing rain storms - turning every good thing to rust. - i guess
we'll just have to adjust.
with my lighning bolts a-glowin' i can see where i am going to be when
the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.
with my lighning bolts a-glowin' i can see where i am goin'.
Wake up, don't give up
Get off your knees
It's your last chance
Or will you
Blame it all on circumstance
Where will you go?
When times are slow
And your still
Waiting for your next command
Waiting for your next command
Never gave your dreams a chance
Blamed it all on circumstance
I've been buried in the sand
I've come down with no place to land
I don't need you to understand
It's not what I had planned
All the hunger, all the yearning
With the lifeline that you're burning
Poison lessons that you're learning
The road ahead is turning
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
Stick together side by side
We no longer need to hide
From the darkness into the light
Now is your time
I need something to numb the pain
Forget me and forget my name
Waiting for the time to arrive
No one gets out of here alive
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
Wake Up! Wake Up!
I've been buried in the sand
I've come down with no place to land
I don't need you to understand
It's not what I had planned
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Wake up to the manipulation
Wake up to the situation
Suicidal education
It got sold to our generation
Force-fed what to think and see through newspapers and on TV
Your politics and religion are brainwashing society
Your censorship and education are designed to control our minds
Don't ever let someone decide for you what is wrong and what's right
Wake up - And stop this useless hypocrisy
Wake up - And start fighting the real enemy
Your preachings and condemnations on what we're supposed to be
Is contradicting the ideal of individuality
You're boxed in and restricted by rules you yourself create

I'm gonna ride this plane out of your life again
I wish that I could stay but you argue
More than this I wish, you could've seen my face
In backseats staring out of the window
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you
So leave yourself intact
'Cause I will be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I love you
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up
I've earned through hope and faith
On the curves around your face
That I'm the one you'll hold forever
If morning never comes for either one of us
Then this I pray to you wherever
I'll do anything for you
This story is for you
I'll do anything for you
Kill anyone for you
So leave yourself intact
'Cause I won't be coming back
In a phrase to cut these lips
I loved you
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
Until you decide to wake up
The morning will come
In the press of every kiss
With your head upon my chest
Where I will annoy you
With every waking breath
We are alive for a moment
One second in the great abyss of time
All the bleedin', all the hate
Just one blink of an eye
All the conflicts, it visits dire pain on human life
Are we missing what it is to be alive?
One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
We learn to live without it
Wake up!
To the sound of this time bomb
Wake up!
To it's deafening song
Wake up!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone
Our innocence is a virtue
But our arrogance will only leave us blind
Unattended without anyone to save our idle lives
Will we find out that everything we know exists inside of a fraction
Of a fraction
One by one the pieces fall again
Wake up!
To the sound of this time bomb
Wake up!
To it's deafening song
Wake up!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone
Wake up!
To the sound of this time bomb
Wake up!
To it's deafening song
Wake up!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone away!
One by one the pieces fall
Until our pride defeats us all
Yeah!
One by one the pieces fall (one by one the pieces fall)
Until our pride defeats us all
Defeats us all!
Yeah!
Oohh!
Wake up!
To the sound of this time bomb
Wake up!
To it's deafening song
Wake up!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone
Wake up!
To the sound of this time bomb
Wake up!
To it's deafening song
Wake up!
Cause you don't know what you've got until it's gone
Until it's gone away
It's gone away
Uggh!
Come on!
Although ya try to discredit
ya still never edit
the needle i'll thread it
radically poetic
standing with the fury that they had in '66
and like E-double im mad
still knee-deep in the systems s***
hoover, he was a body remover
ill give ya a dose
but it can never come close
to the rage, built up inside of me
fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy
Movements come and movements go
leaders speak, movements cease
when their heads are flown
cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
departments of police(what)the judges(what)the feds(the feds)
Networks at work, keepin people calm
ya know they went after King
when he spoke out on Vietnam
he turned the power to the have-nots
and then came the shot
Yeah, back in this
Wit poetry my mind I flex
flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin dat finesse
whadda i gotta, whadda i gotta do to wake ya up
to shake you up, to break the structure up
cause blood still flows in the gutter
im like takin photos
mad boy kicks open the shutter
set the groove,
then stick and move like i was Cassius
rep the stutter step
then bomb the left upon the fascists
yea, the several federal men
who pulled schemes on the dream,
and put it to an end
ya better beware, or retribution with mind war
20/20 visions, and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin people calm
ya know the murdered X
then tried to blame it on islam
he turned the power to the have-nots
and then came the shot
Uggh!
What was the price on his head (2 times)
i think i heard a shot (5 times)
*spoken* Black Nationalism
'He may be a real contender for this position should he
abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine
of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'
'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers...And neutralize them,
neutralize them, neutralize them'
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up
Wake up
You dont want to sleep through this
Might has fallen and all the stars are coming out
O the skys a lullaby
Like
That sweet little light of mine
Come out, come out
Its not like were strangers here
No more lying here waiting, the suns coming up
O that hole made of gold is
Like
(Wake up, Wake up
Wake up, Wake up)
[Verse 1:]
Thank God for the day, thank God for the mornin'
Won't take this here for granted no good Lord I gots to
get on it
With every breath I take, or move I make, I gots to
keep wantin'
A better life for me, and all of mine, no time for that
yawnin'
In the bed waitin', procrastinatin', I gots to be
hungry
Too old for games that don't mean a thing, can't play
with my homies
Just know I'm payin' dues if I don't pick up for ya,
whenever you phone me
Cause being broke ain't fun and that pity party I threw
is startin' to get borin'
Good mornin'
[Hook:]
I know today gonna be the best day of my life, my life
(Wake up, wake up)
I know today gonna be the best day of my life
(Wake up, wake up)
Gotta keep my head out the clouds and my feet on the
ground
[Verse 2:]
Gotta be realistic, stop talkin' and listen
Cause at the blink of an eye your life'll pass you by,
good Lord you missed it now
You're wishin' that you went slow, took advantage of
that 2-4
Yeah you gave your all to get your back from off the
wall but you can give more
Stand tall against the grain, be yourself don't do the
same
As the next man cause all paths are different, so don't
jump the train
Hell, we can't complain, for this borrowed time
So don't misuse yours, cause you can't borrow mine
Good mornin'
They say he was a monster from birth, so
Fuck it, I'll just a lean warn-os them hoes
I suppose O took on the street life
Even though my mother told me I could be otherwise
Wasn't the school type, I was too cool
My agenda wasn't general education, nigga
Generalizing Obie's expectations
It was like, a cucoo in twenty-twos
Bad news my nigga, pass the brew
Cause in a week we be pouring a glass for you
So rapidly homies become causualties
We was just playing Madden
Now a nigga sad for his family, that's how it happens
Dudes get blasted, another casket
Another child becomes a fatherless bastard
Make a nigga wanna grab this rachet
It's so tragic, and Obie can't get past it
And you wonder why a nigga'll flash it
Just to, show these demons that I ain't having it
Put 'em beneathe the grass in a flash
Homie I'm from the craft
And to make it where I'm at, that's called Soldierism
Real niggaz notice em, they wanna flow with 'em
Wanna do major shows with 'em
Get the fuck out the ghetto wit 'em
Heavy metal, leave a nigga twisted, don't fret
This is the set we live in
But I ain't crying or whining about my enviornment
Even though black folk is dying constant
Niggaz'll shoot you unconscious
Wit no conscience, until you lose conscience
Conscious, and pompous white folk think I'm just rhyming
Just designing lines, just for the sake of shining
Like I just speak violent applying to the business I'm in
Rewind and find him in a dirty ass hood with no sight of climbing
Moving on up was just The Jeffersons
Rest of us watching the tube got less then them
So why you vexing him? Why you stretching him out?
He got the weapon all because his whereabouts
Born and raised, mental slaves
And I don't see change before I'm seeing the grave
All I see is my homies corpse decay
Crying at his wake, can't recognize his face
Face it, you not identifying with me
My identity distorts ya visibility
So you can't see me, peep what he's achieving
You recieve information from TV
I'm in the hood, I live it you read about it
Rest in peace Peezy
Please believe Obie eyes've seen The Wire
Prior to what you seeing on the screen
I done been in and out of the bing
Lost niggaz to unfortunate things
That's why, praise the Lord I'm still on the scene
Praise the Creator who made human beings
Just for creating a nigga like me
A nigga that put the umph in G, yeah
Wake up
I try to reach out but you won't
Wake up
My brothers and sisters, we got to
Wake up
'Fore you stuck in the system, and then ya
Wake up
Reality hits ya, before you can
The attribute Haji helper to another god in need
He Allah God Islam
As I proceed to civilize the uncivilized
Word to wisdom from the groove to the wise
I guess I'm like the verbalizer for the fact I'm moving blackwards
This asiatic black man is a dog spelled backwards
The maker, the owner, the cream of the planet Earth
Father of civilization, God of the universe
Manifesting thought with my infinite styles
Making sure this travels only 23 million miles
The other six I set the crucifix
Cause the heart of the problem is this:
Preacher got my old earth puttin money in a pan
For the rest of the week now I'm eating out of soup cans
He has a home, drives a Caddy through town
Has my old earth believing that he's coming from the ground (Jesus)
Slain were those who fought for what was right
Slayed are those who fell victim to the bite
Of drugs, controlled substances contained in a vial
Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles
Good at the game of tricknology
But I have knowledge of myself you're not fooling me
You see, the answer to me is black unity
Unification to help our bad situation
I wrote this on the day of wisdom power
All being born to myself
I won't diss the next brother to be paid that's not my trade
It's just the plan that was designed by the colored man
Now our babies are born to think this is the way of us (way of us)
That's the way the devil wants it so it is no fuss (it is no fuss)
It's just that sad old song self-destruction
To stop our reproduction
And put our wisdom before us (murderer)
That makes it wisdom knowledge (murderer)
So we need knowledge wisdom to bring forth the understanding (murderer)
Culture freedom (murderer)
Power refinement (murderer)
Equality god build destroy born za cipher (muderer)
(Can a devil fool a Muslim?) No, not nowadays bro
(Do you mean to say the devil fooled us 400 years ago?)
Y equals self a trader made an interpretation
saying that we'd receive more gold for our labor in his nation
(Did we receive more gold?) Now Cipher
It's time to drop the bomb and make the devil pay the piper
True indeed God true indeed hajj (lack of self) - (*repeat 2X*)
True indeed God true indeed
Wake up wake up wake up (Come on)
Wake up wake up wake up (I want you to listen to me)
Wake up wake up wake up (Come on now)
Wake up wake up wake up (Bust it)
The solution: knowledge of self to better ourself
Cause I know myself that we can live much better than this
Nothing's changed, it's just another sequel
The devil's still causing trouble amongst the righteous people
Drugs in our community (That ain't right)
Can't even get a job (That ain't right)
Poisoning our babies (That ain't right)
Lying who is God (That ain't right)
Now here's some food for thought
Many fought for the sport
And the black man still comes up short
It's time to motiviate, build and elevate
Blind deaf and dumb we've got to change our mindstate
So I dip dip dive-a, civilize a 85er
Gotta let him know the devil's a conniver
This is the plan from the brotherman
From the motherland now it's time to take a stand
I keep to striving to do my duty to awaken
To the universal family I say asalaam alaikum
(Reggae chatter)
Yeah
Now I've gotta give a shout to my Brand Nubian brothers
Lord Jamar, God Allah
Derrick X is on the flex
Alamo is good to go
Sincere, the god is in here
Move on black man move on
We gotta move on black man move on - (*repeat 3X*)
Yeah
Now I gotta give a shout out to the SD 50's
Putting this in effect
I'm gonna say like this before I motivate
Dissolved the life in me
You crawled inside of me
You wanted everything
You took it all from me
You fucking talk to me
So now I'm drunk and I'm miserable
And I like it, oh yeah
Hooked on junk and I'm pitiful
And I like it, oh yeah
Wake up
For what
Wake up
For what
I hear you're loney and miserable
And I like it, oh yeah
Hooked on junk and you're pitiful
Do you like it, oh yeah
Wake up
For what
Wake up
I just stayed there
And I was born at the scene of a crim
Every witness, well he was deaf and dumb
And blind
Every highlight leads the high life, yeah
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Every moment was a moment, ah
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Well, how'd I get here?
You know I followed the billboard sign
Every product, well it follows me down the line
Every daydream, every dead one, too
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Every wish that you could wish for came true
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Doo-we oo-wee a baba
Every daydream, every dead one, too
Every wish that you could wish for came true
Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake uuuup
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem
Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake uuuup
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem
Oh, wake up
Wake up, wake uuuup
We are only part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Are only what they seem
Hey, c'mon, man, everybody wake up
Wake up, wake uuuup
We are only a part of a dream
All the things in your heart
Like the things in your head
Yeah, check it.
It's my life.
It's my life.
I can't go every day with being sober.
It gets kind of hard trying to cope
With this devil on my shoulder.
(Belbian?) some soda
Like well I'm getting closer
To either heaven or hell
Every second I get older.
Till I'm dead or in a coma,
I'm a live life like
Well,
It ain't over till it's over
You're supposed to live every day
Like it was your last.
But that and itself is a really hard concept
For me to grasp.
'Cause if this was my last 24
I'd probably spend at least 3 or 4
Praying to God for 20 more.
I'm lookin' in the mirror
At the man in front of me,
Like I know everybody goes
But I'm 23.
That's why I come off as wreckless
Respect it
I'm getting my moneys worth every second.
I'm less than perfect,
But so are you.
So who are you to judge me?
I don't judge you.
Yeah.
(I'm not sober all the time
And you bring me down,
At least you try.
But do we see this side
Till I
I don't want you.)
[x2]
What's life?
Fuck life.
Yo I'm telling you what.
I'm a nineteen year old
Rebellious fuck.
Living each day like the next I might not wake up.
That's why I always stay puffin' a blunt
With a full cup.
Poppin' pills out the bottle
Till it's hollow.
I'm going to hell
And y'all are more than welcome to follow.
And if I'm not here tomorrow
Light an L in my memory.
Pour out some hennessy.
Fuck it,
Just remember me.
Gotta know I made a mark
On the short time I'm on Earth,
Since birth,
I've been spittin' it
Proving my fucking worth.
And for what?
I try to give a fuck
But I can't
Cause it sucks to be me
But I am who I am
And I am just a man
Who will stand with his hands
In front of him;
Just waiting for some shit to hit the fan
And I cannot stop.
Music fuels my every movement
And drug abusing helps bring creativity to my music.
I may not be into a reality
But my music is sick
And I'm so high
That I defy gravity.
So fuck being sober,
Live life and enjoy it.
Yeah, 'cause soon enough the ride will be over.
(I'm not sober all the time
And you bring me down,
At least you try.
But do we see this side
Till I
I don't want you.)
So are we lost or do we know
Wich direction we should go
Sit around and wait for someone
To take our hand and lead the way
'Couse every day we're geting older
And every day we all get colder
We're sick of waiting for the answers

Go wake them up, take their pulse
Are they really living?
Go shake them up, break them loose
Are they really breathing?
Come to us now, pull the plug
This is your awakening
We are not alone, it’s coming home
Look: there’s something happening
Bring me the head of someone good – As if you could
Take me on a night ride to a righteous neighborhood
Wish you would
Promise me everything can change and be okay
Lie if you have to that’s the way to make us obey
Throw us to the wolves and wolverines
Kick us to the ground
Spit up on our hopes and all our dreams
We’ll never let you down
My, my, the book of life is floating by
Did you wake up one long drawn out morning
[Unverified] blessed with the naked [unverified]?
Were you feeling rather ashamed of your madness
When you found out that one body was missing?
Oh, [unverified] feel so fine
And it's time to clean up this mess, right now
And will you ever take it back?
They have decided not to let you out
Then will you ever take it back?
They have decided not to let you out
And did you believe, in every word he said
A storyteller and a thief, yeah, he was a betrayer and a creep
And is the big, black animal that moves in your maze
As you consider slicing your wrist, right now, so go on
Oh, hey, let's do this
And will you ever take it back?
They have decided not to let you out
Then will you ever take it back?
Hey there young girl
Throw it up here
And I'll catch it in my tree
Throw it higher
If you bring a ladder
Then we can be near
That's no secret
I'll tell you all about it on your next birthday
You won't believe it
There is one thing that you can do for me
Let me show you what it is
When I wake up, in the morning
You look so good, you look so good
When I get up, when I'm yawning
You look so good, you look so good, to me.
Hey there, I know
Everybody else chose to get up too late
Wear our blue jeans
We keep a lot of pockets and some pants out back
Breakfast, Oh no!
You think I could have just an extra piece
We should go home
There is one thing that you can do for me
Let me show you what it is
When I wake up, in the morning
You look so good, you look so good
When I get up, when I'm yawning
You look so good, you look so good, to me
You won't believe it
You won't believe it
You won't believe it
You won't believe it
You won't be there
You won't be there
You won't be there
Give me the light when the sun goes down,
cuz what goes around comes around.
Give 'em a fight yes it's proper bound,
you see what goes around comes around.
Now the gloves are off and the talk is done,
I see clearly now what must be done.
Go back to the place, back when you were young,
you weren't afraid of anything, you weren't afraid of anyone.
(I) So wake up
Got no money when i wake up strong,
and then another worry comes along.
I found a light 'n I'm 'a turn it on,
So wake up wake up wake up.
All of my teachers' told me I was wrong,
but what don't kill you will make you strong.
What I found was I was right all along,
and if it don't kill you it make you strong.
Yes I realize just what I've become,
I take that shit head on, oh however it come.
Got my direction back, all my friends are around,
I feel the change, I feel alive, I feel the lights, I feel the sound.
(I) So wake up,
Got no money when I wake up strong,
and then another worry comes along.
I found a light 'n I'm 'a turn it on,
So wake up wake up wake up
And if your feelin' like you don't belong,
it's time to step into a brand new dawn.
You found the light now come and turn it on,
wake up wake up wake up
Hard to live, when your cup is half full,
oh and it's hard to live, now don't you be nobody's fool,
So very hard to live, yes it's hard to live
yes it's hard to live, so very hard to live,
that's how we live and learn,don't make it hard to live,
that's how we live and learn,oh it's hard to live,
live and learn,it's hard to live,
live and learn,it's hard to live,
you live and learn,you have to rise and shine.
(I) So wake up,
Got no money when I wake up strong,
and then another worry comes along.
I found a light 'n I'm 'a turn it on,
So wake up wake up wake up
And if your feelin' like you don't belong,
it's time to step into a brand new dawn.
You found the light now come and turn it on,
wake up wake up wake up,
i wake up,
wake up wake up wake up,
i wake up,
If you have the answers to all of my questions,
Why are you here,
Turn around, face me now,
I promise you they'll let you in.
I don't mean to make you so upset,
But the air is so thin and I'm losing sleep.
Blackened and unrested,
Replace your armour to make this stand.
Bring me round to let me down,
(Take this forever so I can sleep quiet,)
I'll wait around to let you in.
(What has begun.)
I don't mean to make you so upset,
But the air is so thin and I'm losing sleep.
I don't mean to make you so upset,
But the air is so thin and I'm losing sleep.
Wake Up. x24
When I wake up I wake up alone
I sit and I wait and listen for the phone
Only when you're near me do I feel at home
Now you're not with me and I want you to come home
And I'll do the best I can but I'm a liar, I don't have a plan
And I'll do my best for you but I'm hopeless, I don't have a clue
When I fuck up, I fuck up so good
I make mistakes and best laid plans can be misunderstood
Sometimes when you're near me I still feel alone, So put your arms around me then I'll be back home
And I'll do the best I can
I might be pissed but I'll lend a hand. And you know you'll be safe in the night, I'll be awake and coughing by your side. Don't try to tell me that I'm good coz I know better, I can call people with the proof
You need never lock your door, I'll never sleep because you snore And I've never wanted more than I've wanted you
And I'll do the best I can but I'm a liar, I don't have a plan
And I'll do my best for you but I'm hopeless, I don't have a clue
And I'll be there when I can. I might be pissed but I'll lend a hand
Wake up, everyone's leaving.
Daylight has a way of creeping up, when you're in love,
when you're in love.
Sickness, everybody has it, mine just happens to be
hidden.
And you, what about you? What about you?
Chorus:
I won't even begin, telling you how sorry I am.
Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be
so alone.
Real life, we were never in it,
Seemed like trouble to begin with.
But I, never refused, I never refused.
So don't stop, better keep it moving,
Although, memories are soothing,
I, can never go back, never go back.
I won't even begin, telling you how sorry I am.
Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be
so alone.
I'm feeling like a child
Like someone might find out
I shouldn't be here at all
But these things do come around
And it may as well be my turn to take it all
I won't even begin telling you how sorry I am
Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be
so alone
I won't even begin telling you how sorry I am
Those days, moving so slow, I kept it alive not to be
Here's to the man who gives to the poor
With a hole in his pride you know
He only wants to give more
Here's to the man who feels for the weak
The moral of this story is
You can never have too much, too late
Perhaps I need you
More than I appreciate you
We all feel a little danger
When there's something in the air
We all feel a little hunger
When there's nothing to care about
Perhaps I need you
More than you need me
Here's to the man who deals with his life
Who is not insecure and will
Always try to do right
Here's to the man who feels for the weak
The moral of this story is
You can never have too much, too late
Perhaps I need you
More than I appreciate you
I don't know why you treat me like you do
You continuously break my heart
When you say I don't understand you
We all feel a little danger
When there's something in the air
We all feel a little hunger
When there's something to care about
Sayin' something, sayin' nothing
You will be a little quieter with a gun in your mouth
I am facing north and you're still facing south
Perhaps I need you
I’m not sober all the time
You bring me down at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I don’t want you
I must be running out of luck
Cause you’re just not drunk enough to fuck
And now I’ve had it up to here
I don’t, I don’t want you
It took so long to see
You walked away from me
When I need you
Wake up I’m pounding on the door
I’m not the man I was before
Where the hell are you
When I need you
Wake up I’m pounding on the door
I won’t hurt you anymore
Where the hell are you
When I need you
I’m not angry all the time
You push me down at least you try
Until we see this eye to eye
I don’t want you
It took so long to see
You walked away from me
When I need you
Wake up I’m pounding on the door
I’m not the man I was before
Where the hell are you
When I need you
Wake up I’m pounding on the door
I won’t hurt you anymore
Where the hell are you
When I need you
It took so long to see
You walked away from me
When I need you
Wake up I’m pounding on the door
I’m not the man I was before
Where the hell are you
When I need you
Wake up I’m pounding on the door
I won’t hurt you anymore
Where the hell are you
Wake up darling
look in my empty eyes
See the fright in my soul
I watched you cloesly in your sleep
So quiet, so peaceful
I cried for you and ate my skin
Wake up tonight (why do you kill me softly, I feel loosing you)
A nightmare pains me
see my smile, it comes deep within
Its for you
wake up make love with me
I want to squander myself on you
I wanna kill myself for you
Wake up tonight
Wake up, my scream shall make your hands hot
wake up
Wanna look in your eyes, move your body
speak with me
Touch me, touch my hand
look into my empty eyes
Wake up darling
ride through the night with me
There's a very peculiar way you see the world
You scan it through a pair of colored lenses
You package it neatly in your head
Choose to see it the way you want to
[Chorus]
Which doesn't reflect the way they really are
Its just a one dimensional view
As the truth unfolds the look of disbelief is in your eyes
It didn't turn out the way you thought it would
It takes a long time to really know anyone
don't make your mind about what you think you see
You might always have some biases
Look at the facts to replace the skewed beliefs
[Chorus]
Which doesn't reflect the way they really are
Its just a one dimensional view
As the truth unfolds the look of disbelief is in your eyes
It didn't turn out the way you thought it would
don't sell yourself a false bill of goods
Be more practical before you make your assessment
You're walking into a downward spiral
Come on!
Uggh!
Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give ya a dose
But it'll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy
Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Yeah!
Yeah, back in this...
Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot
Uggh!
What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head!
I think I heard a shot (5 times)
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

This house is and ancient tomb
Be warned,
Be warned,
Be warned.
Born in 1974
With the blood stains
on the door.
This house is a monument
You see,
You see,
You see.
Erect in 1983
In memory of
what you've done to me.
This house is a freight train
And it's mine,
And it's mine,
And it's mine.
Back in 1989
They found my body
On the Morrisâ-Essex line.
A cord, accord,
A car, a call
The hospital said it would
Gladly repay it all.
I'm born, I'm bored,
I'm not at all.
This body Needs an Overhaul.
The blast from the cannon
Was more than
They could take.
Ever since that summer
They've been something
of a flake.
We pray for them at dinner,
We pray for them at dawn,
We pray that when they
grow up
That they'll be dead and gone
We pray that they will
Pass us by
But they keep coming on.
Wake up I'm coming over.
Watch the way the milk
has curdled in the cradle.
There's a rattle underneath
the kitchen table.
Were ignoring it as best
As we are able.
But the air in there is
static and unstable.
Theres a rapping
at the door.
Mr. O'Leary is combing his hair
And he's swirling it into a knot
The mirror is laughing at Mr. O'Leary
Cuz it knows he's someone he's not
Walking away from that painted reflection
To do something else he forgot
And now he's walking around with that stupid expression
While his memory asks him, well, what was the question?
And follows the blind while he's trying to find
All the things he's not sure that he missed
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
We sleep when we're walking, we never stop talking
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Mrs. Jones stands at the station
She waits for a train that don't run anymore
She's paid up her fare for a ticket to nowhere
And thinks that she's been there before
Broken dreams weigh on her mind like the water
That's spilling the sand on the shore
And she's clicking her heels and she's looking for Toto
While she stands with her dress dragging in the grey snow
And she wants what she doesn't have, has what she doesn't want
And she wants the world to know it
(Chorus)
Johnny McGee's making love to TV
And his stamina's really impressive
It's always turned on, all night until dawn
And plays reruns when he gets aggressive
Johnny's afraid that he'll worry about
All the problems that he doesn't have
Because his life is so boring and he's always snoring
While earth is revolving and it's not worth exploring
And the faces on TV all say who he should be
But nobody knows who he is
I'm so sorry for the words
the once I said to you
I can never change the way
The way I feel about you
It always makes me wanna cry
when I think about the time (x2)
The time we never had
So please
(%)please wake up and see
see me fade away
see me going down
you can never feel my grief(%)
I'm so sorry for the words
the once I said to you
I can never change the way
The way I feel about you

What did they say
when they brought you down here?
Did nobody tell you
you can't get out?
I'm sure there are folks
who say you can but
you're sure to find out
there's no way out.
You've been spending all your change.
No point saving for rainy days.
I'm gonna be there
when you find the border
I'm gonna be there
when you can't wake up.
Just remember
I've got my orders
no searching for the answers now.
Who did you fool
to get yourself here?
We'll take any bribe,
we'll show you the sites.
I know that you felt
so sure you'd break free.
We'll say anything
you'll let us believe.
You've been calling all your friends,
no real reason, just checking in.
I'm gonna be there
when you find the border
I'm gonna be there
when you can't wake up.
Just remember
I've got my orders
no searching for the answers now.
We'll show you
your heaven
inside here
in silence.
No searching
for answers
it's pointless.
What did they say
when they brought you down here?
Did nobody tell you
you can't get out?
I'm sure there are folks
who say you can but
you're sure to find out
there's no way out.
I'm gonna be there
when you find the border
I'm gonna be there
when you can't wake up.
Just remember
I've got my orders
Everyday I wake up the same
Void of feeling and of aim
Everyday I taste the defeat
Endless cycle so incomplete
Running into walls again
Chip my teeth on all these bricks
Every things so plain to see
Nine till five it's hounding me
Tow the line, make the dime
Stranglehold I'm not free
Theres no way out, we're all the same
Ripe with self doubt
It's just a fame they just maintain
There's no way out
Working class life force fed their shit
We can't escape
There's no way out
While they still maintain
We've all been tamed
You got your boots and Skinhead-cut, but do you know a
thing? You've done too much we can't ignore. I true
declared to be a Skin.
Wake up - No more dreaming! You've got to choose, what
you wanna be. Wake up - ??? your land. You got to open
your eyes and say…
Skinhead is a way of life - It's not just of boots and
jeans. If you want to be this way you gotta know what it
means.
Wake up - No more dreaming! You've got to choose, what
you wanna be. Wake up - ??? your land. You got to open
your eyes and say…
Don't caring what the others say, you do what you want to
do. Can't you see this is your life and it's made for
you?!
Wake up - No more dreaming! You've got to choose, what
you wanna be. Wake up - ??? your land. You got to open
your eyes and say…
Wake up - No more dreaming! You've got to choose, what
you wanna be. Wake up - ??? your land. You got to open
Wake up
Peel the lids back from you eyes
Now take a look
Stand up
Spitting in the face of fear
Break out
now's the time to find your way
Alone you're stillborn
move on
Take your place in what will be
Rise up
From the ashes
Pull away, accept no silence
Wake up
Do it for humanity
They say that life's what you make of it
And we're to blame
Soon they'll all know that we're tired of it
It's time for change
Break off hostility
Expose obscenity
Unreal reality
Wake up humanity
Take on
Screaming in the
face of those who steal the world
Away from
Innocent unconscious prey
War's on
Take a chance
Pushing in renounce all bullshit
War's won
Only if we fight....fight!
They say that life's what you make of it
And we're to blame
Soon they'll all know that we're tired of it
It's time for change
Break off hostility
Expose obscenity
Unreal reality
Wake up humanity
Believe not a word from the damned
The skeptic and cynic must stand
Weary faith in their eyes
What we see are the lies
You gotta let me in, I'm comin' back again
You're gonna need to move your life better start again
I'm closer to the end, no need now to pretend
I can be the spark of light on which you can depend
So I let it lose, make sure I don't abuse
Your life is like a booze, you drink it up and then you lose
I electrify make you bounce before you die
Eye for an eye wake up to realize
Pre-chorus:
Hey what you gonna do?
If you wanna run
If you wanna fly
Better fly with me
If you wanna go
If you wanna know
If you wana run
Better run with me
(2x)
Chorus:
Wake up
You need to back up
You need to step back
Wake up!
(4x)
I'm the one who put your mind out, no doubt
This is the voice that puts the lights out, come out
Now your life is like a blackout, shout out
This is the time to put your hate out, keep out
This is the wrong side of the story, don't worry
To be friendly ain't mandatory, I'm sorry
If I'm putting too much pressure in your life
Everything will be all right
You can bounce with me tonight
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I want to talk to you today
But you try to push me away
And now I'm feelin' bad
Don't hear what you say
And now Im standin' here alone
Tryin' to wait for you at home
And now I realize that I'm on my own
I am awake but you're dead inside
I'm lost in your soul
I know the pain when it burns inside
It digs in my bone
(2x)
(Chorus)
Wake up (4x)
Take my hand and follow me to bed
Say you didn't really mean it when you told me to go drop dead
Smile that smile that only you can smile
Say you'll love me in the morning after we've slept in a while
Take my hand and follow me instead
Say you'll love me in the morning after we've cleared out our heads
Nightmares, they've been plaguing me
I'm trapped in a fearful mind
Oh... but only til the morningtime
Wake up and love me, baby
So what if we fought last night
We'll start today off right
Let's put it all behind us
Do something to help remind us of how we fell in love
Smile that smile we're only here a while
Say you're never gonna ditch me when true love goes out of style
Nightmares, they've been chasing me
I'm lost in a labyrinth mind
Oh... but only 'til the morningtime
Wake up and love me, baby
So what if we fought last night
We'll start today off right
Let's put it all behind us
Do something to help remind us of how we fell in love
Wake up in the morning, smoke that cigarette, yum!
Wake up in the morning, drink that cup of coffee, yum!
Turn on early morning news, stories about children addicted to marijuana.
Oh no!
Got to get to work! Oh, my God! Oh, no! I gotta get my fix, I'm a junkie!
Don't want to live in the world of a straight man.
Don't want to live in the world of a junkie man.
Don't want to live with a needle in my arm.
Don't want to have to piss in a can.
Why can't they realize everyone's addicted to something?
T.V., drugs, or medicine.
Love or hate attention.
A choice made only by yourself.
Nor for you by anyone else.
Everyone's got something to hide,
Wake the fuck up (12x)
Chorus:
Yo wake the fuck up or get broke the fuck up
The wisdom we apply son soak this shit up
If it was sess son niggaz would smoke this shit up
So wake the fuck up or get broke the fuck up
Verse one: madman
Yo yo yo we are street soldiers of the dark side of the planet
I kill killing orders like a lieutenant
Hit the planet earth then explode like a human cannon
The universal author, born to kill saga
Givin niggaz head trauma
Bulletproof shield is made of gold armor
Brain surgeon is aversions my purgin mind urban
Scientists found killed and wrapped up in curtains
Casualties, flashbacks, now simply that
I attack like a rat, serious as a heart attack
Professional assassinator professor
Assassinate your mindstate and broke the metal plate
Lyrical nostradamus, psychotic mind of sadaam
Ex-con, attack the pentagon
With unorthodox firearm from vietnam
I crucify em, like muslims murdering jews from jerusalem
Now who's the supreme lyricist? you can't seize this
When I die, my name'll be worshipped like jesus
War visual individual incriminate the criminal
My culture nickel put holes in your face like dimples
Chorus
Verse two: hell razah
Brains get unfrozen when they oppose, as we unfold
Futuristic scrolls that was prophesized scriptures
Hitting an untold, I roll with my skull and bones
Made of solid gold, skin is closing up
Approach your home, with a war, armaggedeon in my home
Wisdom mind ruler mental intruder
From the tribe of judah
Devils dissapear like they went through the
Bermuda, triangle, erupting on ryzarector tracks
Like volcanoes, so God swear to me
I appear two years sample revolution in the burning cup
Constitution, learned too much, came off must return
Observe the facts, delivered by, blacks
Soon as we unite the sky cracked
A group of ufo's formed a seven in the heavens
God celebrate devils death day signal
Jail let loose the criminals, bystanders died
Waiting for miracles we giving you
Chorus: 1/4
Verse three: killa sin
Yo, I make your heart thump like tree stumps
Be crackin concrete chumps released once
The earth shifts, vocal points clips he wrote and missed
Killer vocalist, load his fist blessed with loaded gifts
Golden clips, shotty slipped like psychotic hits
In soldier flicks, who wrote the shit superior
Mines combine the modus click
Enterprise like german spies, keep my eyes on soviets
Stay russian my direction I'm wettin like a leaf bone
Freak poems, seek thrones, to call home where freaks bone
To each his own, chrome zones, be cloned like chromosomes
So the chrome, the golden toned champ whip rollin bones
Fire's on, blazin hot trails at night, barren ville
Shotty still collaborating on tracks with bobby steels
Generate a mil, killa bee law, kill or be killed
Know the ledge, finally, our justice has revealed
Chorus
Verse four: prodigal sun
The 43rd conviction, incarcerated in hell for eternity
But my mentality and chemistry made me celestial through the galaxy
Sparks friction, generating through evaporation
Slay through meditation, your body is now liquidation
Even your hemoglobin is swollen with corrosion
Amputated and rated physical zone disintegrated
That's what niggaz face when fuckin with the sunz of man
Go to the dungeon I could lead a hundred men, with a golden pen
Forced to intercept with the click from shaolin
Killin devils, scatter they ashes over the sea of mediterranean
That's my trademark, ps burned in my victims heart
I be the star from afar illuminating through the dark
Another burning face of death
The intiation of the mason, 186 my name's left in the book of revelation
Reminescing about the days, raising hell
Representative of a mind, able to lead a city what technicality of mankind
Mistake trying to keep me behind the closed doors of reality
All three eyes to the revolution can now escape the blind state of confusion
Trials and tribulations of the original nation
Leaves a headache, the only chance of elevation
Unite with the black coalition
Sunz of man, population click, wu-tang clan
First the killarmy, eat your skeletons, buried in the promised land
You better wake the fuck up!
That's word life!
Don't sleep!
We don't be having that shit no more!
Word is bond this is as real as it's going to get
Wake the fuck up (4x)
Killarmy, wu-tang clan
Word word, shaolin
Wake the fuck up
Get the actual facts
Better fuckin resurrect
Wake up, take a piss, drink some coffee,
smoke a cigarette, get blown,
that a shit, drink more coffee,
smoke a cigarette, get blown!
Watch T.V., eat something,
smoke a cigarette, get blown,
get drunk, fuck someone,
Wake Up Lyrics
(Intro)

Just vibe with me
Get high with me
In the sky with me
Go ride with me
Get high with me

(Chorus)
They tell me Im the shit Im like, duh?!
Girls on my dick Im like, duh!?
Gettin' stupid in this b-tch so wassup!

Young rich and famous thanks for asking how are you
Party every night thats exactly what I do
Gettin' stupid in this bitch so wassup!
Wake the whole damn world homie, I dont give a f-ck
Wake up, up-up-up-up (x8)
(Mac Miller - Verse 1)
Hey, they say its so funny your nobody with mo' money, and the hoes love me
And these other kids dont touch me
Full contact rap no rugby
Pretty boy flow while your girl so ugly
My b-tches dont want anybody but me
They puff trees, sip liquor and suck dick
Got a lot of people worried about the things I say
And a lot of different haters they bring my way
I let me grill though they can watch the money pile
While these groupie hoes try to hunt me down
Now everyday feelin like the best day ever
Heard its a long road but it get way better
A lil' money in my pocket but my eyes on a million
Got these doubters listenin' surprised when they feel him
Ballin' like Jordan you ballin' like wilson
Feelin' like a kid again chillin' watchin' Gilligan
(Hook x2)
I dont think they want to, interrupt my party
Please dont interrupt my party
We just tryna find somebody for the night
(Chorus)
They tell me Im the shit Im like, duh?!
Girls on my dick Im like, duh!?
Gettin' stupid in this b-tch so wassup!
Wake the whole damn wolrd homie, I dont give a f-ck
Young rich and famous thanks for asking how are you
Party every night thats exactly what I do
Gettin' stupid in this bitch so wassup!
Wake the whole damn world homie, I dont give a f-ck
Wake up, up-up-up-up (x8)
(Mac Miller - Verse 2)
Hey, hear the alarm time to start the day, rub my eyes, light some weed
Send my mind on its way, Im gone
Somewhere in my own dimension
I show these hoes no affection,
Just party every night gettin so demented
At that time Im lookin' in the mirror seeing to reflection
Got me wondering why dont they get it
Spend the night with me, Im sure you wont regret it
Got some liquor on the way
The weed is twistin' you should stay
You still listen when they say the kid is spittin'
Gettin paid but my differences in age got me shittin' with a rage
'Cause it was written on a page straight sicker than some AIDS
I came to get f-cked up
I came to act well
You came to prepare for the future
I live for right now
(Hook x2)
I dont think they want to, interrupt my party
Please dont interrupt my party
We just tryna find somebody for the night
(Chorus)
Gettin' stupid in this bitch so wassup!
Wake the whole damn world homie, I dont give a f-ck
Somethin' - filled up - my heart - with nothin' - someone - told me

But I'm hiding from today
All the monsters and all your relatives
have gone to bed
on fire they set their pillows
under their heads
So wake up Wake up
But I'm hiding from today
All the teachers
their brains were eaten by small children
and now their parents will stare and grin
because they talk just like them
Wake up
What have I done
And I don't know how it all began
It's still here
The sound of fear
But then I realise
That you're still here
And wake up
So close to me
And we're not falling
we'll rise again
And the sun breaks
It all seems real
I turn around
and then you appear
And goodnight

TV talk shows shining light
From every window
She pulls a dress on
And she who cares where she goes
And wake up, wake up
Here's another day
And wake up, wake up
It's time your wide awake
And don't make promises
That don't mean anything
And wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
It's light out honestly
It's time you're wide awake
Go where the party goes
Dressed up in shiny clothes
We drink the water
And it tastes like medicine
And wake up, wake up
Here's another day
And wake up, wake up
It's time your wide awake
And don't make promises
That don't mean anything
Watch the day go round
And wake up, wake up
Watch the sun go down
With all the animals
I watch the river run
And wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Jeannie talks too much
To all the animals
I hear a mad dog bark
She'll tell you what it said
Watch the day go round
And wake up, wake up
Watch the sun go down
With all the animals
I watch the river run
And wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
The nation lost and dying
Searching for You
Creation waits
Children with the word of God
Written on their hearts
Show love to the world
We need to wake up, wake up
Live like God, pour out love
We need to wake up, wake up
Live like God, pour out love
I know it?s sad
That the gift we have
We keep it for ourselves
Most of the time
The world is looking
For a love that?s locked up
Inside these four walls
Break the door down and shine
We need to wake up, wake up
Live like God, pour out love
We need to wake up, wake up
Live like God, pour out love
We need to wake up, wake up
Live like God, pour out love
We need to wake up, wake up
Live like God, pour out love
Our face is set, our goal is heaven
Jesus, You are the well of love
We?ll pour You out
We?ll pour You out
Our face is set, our goal is heaven
Jesus, You are the well of love
We?ll pour You out
We?ll pour You out
We need to wake up, wake up
Live like God, pour out love
We need to wake up, wake up
they say good fences
make good neighbors
for you my friend
this might be true
but you still gotta put
the boards on the windows
to the soul inside of you
that t.v. in the corner
that's their greatest tool
they poison you mind
when you're a child
with their fear
and their guilt
and their rules
they teach you that you're just a number
as they program you in school
so by the time you're out
in their world on your own
you've been trained not to bite
the hand of the cruel
wake up!
Don't believe that the system is failing
Don't believe that the planet is dead
They'll keep all the food for their fat fucking bellies
and the starving will kill or be fed
and they'll try to turn me against you
so divided, we'll turn to them
because anything strong cannot be conquered from without
before first being conquered from within.
Don't let them get you down.
Don't let them get you down.
Don't let them get you down.
Don't let them get you down.
Don't let them get you down.
Don't let them get you down.
Life is a movie, we are all actors
Don't let them edit you out.
Life is a movie, we are all actors
Don't let them edit you out.
Don't let them get you down.
Don't let them get you down.
Don't let them get you down.
i've got a painting in my head
(one that will not soon fade)
of twisted metal and broken glass.
they say it all will fade in time,
but it's tattooed on our hearts,
and it's showing in our eyes.
"wake up, so i can tell you about my bad day"
now i hear a voice from behind,
and it says "why don't we take our time tonight,
cause we don't want another one"
now the same fog is rolling in.
i grasp the wheel as my heart races.
what a way to start the new year.
stop that sleeping all time
wake up wake up wake up wake up
you'll have to face it sometime
wake up wake up wake up wake up
can't get bossed around all the time
wake up wake up wake up wake up
put your foot down today
wake up wake up wake up wake up
TIME IS UP, GOTTA WAKE UP
look lively when i'm talking to you
wake up wake up wake up wake up
is there life left inside you
wake up wake up wake up wake up
who are you trying to fool
wake up wake up wake up wake up
looking stupid it's not really cool
wake up wake up wake up wake up
[LEAD:]
Heavenly Father, its me once again. your humble servant in your presence, with this fire burning deep down within.
I begin, by recognizing your power and also your grace, and how your children become one when we come before your glorious face.
When you look down from your throne I wonder what is it exactly that you see that keeps someone like you so patient with someone like me
I'm free!!, Not because of some self-rightous attempt on my part but, because of your unconditional love that you gave straight from your heart, Let's start:
[CHORUS:]
All that I have I give to you, all that I am is because of you, If you were to leave us what would we do? WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!
Just like the forest needs the rain, just like there's no joy without some pain; And Lord we know you will never change,
WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW.
[LEAD:]
God when you created us I know you probably never dreamed of all the blood shed and hunger through the years your eyes have seen;
Brothers killing brothers and men being haters of one another,
It's hard to be a leader when the money has become your lover- I've discovered.
Its hard to praise you when we also praise wealth and fame, we thank you for the Grammy, but in our music GOD we curse your name!
No shame in our game when we bring up all the pain.
But isn't it just like GOD y'all to love us just the same; ain't nothing changed.
[CHORUS:]
All that I have I give to you, all that I am is because of you, If you were to leave us what would we do? WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!
Just like the forest needs the rain, just like there's no joy without some pain; And Lord we know you will never change,
WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW.
[LEAD:]
Who can blame GOD for wanting his people to make a decision that's why we gotta teach folk relationship and get rid of all of this religion.
With precision I teach, with his anointing I preach! I have no time to chase paper too many souls I gotta reach!
THERE'S A BREACH IN THE LINE!
GOD'S people we gotta get it right this time! For theses babies coming up we have to try and save their minds!
And whoever has the microphone, remember the blood is on your hands! You'll be judged by your life not your sales on Soundscan!
No Bentleys-No Platinum- No 20's to Crysp!! When you take your last breath tell me what you gon' miss??
When you stand at the throne and you're facing the SON! Will he say LEAVE ME NOW!! Or will he say WELL DONE!!
And when I've grown old Lord, tell what shall I do? When this world has grown cold and has forgotten about you! - When love and sex are no longer a pair and AIDS has destroyed all the ones that don't care!
When divorce is the norm and family has died when white and black folk can no longer survive! When the internet is a persons best bet to find a good relationship; but they ain't happy yet!
When the sound of the music it ceases to inspire; and just Like Sister Lawrence said, “We ain't getting' No Higher”!
When the fire has gone and the beauty has passed, Only what we've done for,you FATHER, will LAST!!!
[CHORUS:]
All that I have I give to you, all that I am is because of you, If you were to leave us what would we do? WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!
Just like the forest needs the rain, just like there's no joy without some pain;
And Lord we know you will never change, WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW.
[LEAD:]
My People we gotta get it together!! We gotta go back to where we started from
[CHORUS:]
WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW
[LEAD:]
GOD Didn't leave us, We left him! He gave his perfect sacrifice
[CHORUS:]
WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW
[LEAD:]
For any man that believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life!!
Wake up from your reality
Make up your mind
Take up your cross and follow me
Child don't be draggin' be laggin' behind
You've wasted all your energy
You've wasted your life
Try to save it you'll lose it
But not if you choose Him
So that you might live
I am who I say that I am
You are who I called to be free
He is the Lion and Lamb
So wake up wake up and get free now
It's paid for the debt is off your hands
Purchased by blood
Grateful, it's your only command
And I'll commend you for a job well done
The eyes of the Lord search to and fro
For one who will serve him
By His Spirit letting him know how much He adores him
So open your eyes He's calling you by name
Remove the lies they're holding you in chains
There's hope in the Holy God
By the Lamb that was slain
So open your eyes
WHAT!
uh uh
ah-huh

You did'nt think i had hit my people on how your selling out
What did you think making your decision im dumb
Manipulative, Calculative, and a pet, you thought

The spade and plain plan for using me

its not a reason to say Good-bye, good-bye, Buhbye
Wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up
Cuz I'll be leaving you today now
Shake up, shake up, dont breakup breakup
Take your lips off mine

Wake up, wake up
Cuz I'll be leaving you today now
Shake up, shake up, dont breakup breakup
Take your lips off mine
Who could see these words are swinging?
I came to your house to get you out of all this shit that held you down
and I've been using my whole world
to help you change that, around
I know
that I need you to help my mind pull through
with everything that happened and
I cant stop anything at all
but I can make it all go faster
so speed it up, speed it up
don't drag it out
and in the night
you will find what I'm all about;

God, I really hope you stay
cause all my friends, I just hate
but I know things are gonna change
and everything will finally make sense

so when I wake up I'll be bringing things to peace with all my strength.

and I just want to hear you,
cause I know just how it feels
I'll sell you short, and stay away
but god knows some how this will work out
because I'm not tired of writing songs
no I'm not tired
I need you so bad
I hear its nice
I heard the news
but I really wish it'd rain.
to stop the day, to hold me back

and everything will finally make sense
