Wake Up lyrics

(Spoken:)

Come

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 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,

of the judges, of 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 you up.

to shake you 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. yeah!

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

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard,

I think I heard a shot.

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!

How long?

not long,

cause what you reap

is what you sow

So happy to have discovered Lucky Voice. We'd never tried karaoke before, but this is so much fun! So many great songs and so easy to use. Love it!

Easy to set up, entertains the little ones by day and the adults by night.
