[Thandi] Observe brothers, observe sisters Uncle sam, uncle tom, big brother, the whole family is coming for your left fist Picket signs ain't gon make change Learn your principles You repping revolution But work for the institution When will you declare your destiny? When will you obliterate all that associate With the forged realities of the day Insubordination is alive Young afrikans, you are blinded There will be no resting in peace There is no alternative Re evolve until you're uneasiness is solved Compliance does not exist Hear the sounds of your alarm No snooze with sooth the tears on pews Muses, music, blues and yellows There will be no resting in peace
[Niambi] What is revolution What is solution When no knowledge
The problem, see Do you? I stay woke Stay broke Stay choking On my pride And if my phone rings
Please know thati'm inside my self My eyes burn blu For it's sizing up Your time to be through With coon calling I'm reading you Feeding you Pleading you Wake up Wake up
(Verse 1) [Thandi]
5 More minutes, my dream ain't finished I don't feel like getting up today The worlds too cold, don't got clean clothes I'm too scared to face the truth today But I still gotta get up, cuz my dreaming tells me so Reflecting truth and fate like divination from the soul Its tiring but better than a wake like funerals They tryna keep me sleep and dumb cause thats whats comfortable Catching zz's while their alchemy eating pupils closed And I'm not living life asleep so thandi's staying woke
[Niambi] Stretching, yawning, feening For the comfort of your sleeping
[Thandi] Picking and choosing when you conscious like narcolepsy Thinking you equal in the pot that they say is melting Saying you righteous but you pray at the masters church And when you're told bout yourself you get your feelings hurt
[Niambi] Face the truth Find comfort in the day Sun will rise and dreams will fade away
(Verse 3) [Niambi] Served my sentence Glad that's finished I see the world is waking up today Folks too bold Old spirits growing Shining light upon the truth today But I still got to get up, cause my dreaming tells me so Reflecting truth and fate like divination from the soul It's tiring but better than a wake like funerals They trying to keep me sleep and dumb cause thats whats comfortable Catching zz's while their alchemy eating pupils closed And I'm not living life asleep niambi staying woke Wake up, wake up
