Wake Up Lyrics
V1:
Wake up sisters, where are you headed today
Do you have reason, purpose and power to slay
Wake up my brothers, you keep your heads held high
Cause they won’t tell you you’re powerful, though they know; acknowledge your light
We gotta make it because we have no choice
Gotta do the best we can
We owe those who no longer have a voice
Get up and do something, do ya thing, yeah gone make a change
So many say they sick and tired but they never do a thing
Said they never do a thing
Ohhhh….
Hook:
When life gets you against the wall
Stand up, face it, be strong
You’re not in it alone, alone
I know you’re gone make it
Don’t let let nobody break ya
You just overcome, overcome yeah
(Frisson rap):
Wake up my brothers and sisters we gotta get it
Nothing is what’s expected and not enough what we’re giving
Falling into the traps for the people,
All the limited options although its obvious honestly we don’t see them
Someone who is inferior worries bout’ competition
So take a step back and recognize that they see your greatness
I hate this, trapped in our mind homies it’s time to enlighten each other
Begin to rise and revise, all the lies used against us
Divide and conquer, time to rise up against them we can be stronger
Fight back with knowledge and a posture we know they’re afraid of
Chin and chest held high, let em’ know what you’re made of
Cause black is beauty, black is powerful black is truly
Undeniable in spite of what they show in movies, movies
We know the truth they don’t gotta admit it
And as for stereotypes, we don’t gotta fit it
Break the mold and the story unfolds!
Break the mold and the story unfolds!
Hook:When life gets you against the wall
Stand up, face it, be strong
You’re not in it alone, alone
I know you’re gone make it
Don’t let let nobody break ya
You just overcome, overcome yeah
