Wake Up letra

Come on
Ugh
Come on
Come on

Although ya try to discredit it
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 (what?), the judges (what?), the feds (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

With poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson
Vocals never lackin' that finesse
What do I got to, what do 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
You better beware the 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

Uh

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

(Black Nationalism)
(He may be a real contend for this position)
(But he should abandon his supposed obedience)
(To white liberal doctrine of non-violence)
(And embrace Black Nationalism)
(Through counterintelligence, it should be possible)
(To pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them)
(Through counterintelligence, it should be possible)
(To pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them)
(And neutralize them, and neutralize them)
(And neutralize them, and neutralize them)
(And neutralize them)

Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!

Yeah

How long? Not long
'Cause what you reap is what you sow
