[Chorus: will.i.am] Woke, woke Waking up, waking up (woke) Woke like that (woke) We stay up, insomniac
[Verse 1: LGP Qua] Shoutout the Eagles, we did it, we brought the ring back So when I tell you change gon' come, better believe that Go get a diploma, youngin sayin' I don't need that He'd rather grip a thirty, rob a nigga with a ski mask Streets is where the good die young, man it's sad to say Just graduated Friday, got killed Saturday If you get a job they laugh at you, that's the petty wave If you go to jail, they don't care, they think you passed away Back then, niggas they was loyal, not the same now Nowadays your own man will rob you, look at A-Town Colin Kaepernick, I support you, hands down Taught us how to stand up, why you think we kneel down? Valentines Day turned to a massacre when shots through Seventeen people got killed in a Florida high school Tell these little girls you a queen, that's the right move More to life than twerking on the 'Gram and getting likes boo Time to stop the hatin', time to make improvement now Time to stop the killings and shootings and all the suicide From the city brotherly love, you know it's do or die Time to come together, stick together like a unibrow I won't sell my soul cause my pride won't allow it (woke) I ain't selling drugs, nah, I'm just giving knowledge Youngin had a bright future, could've went to college But he chilled with his boys on the corner, then they shot him
[Chorus: will.i.am] Woke, woke, woke Waking up (woke), woke like that (woke) We stay up, insomniac Waking up (woke), woke like that (woke) We stay up, insomniac
[Verse 2: will.i.am] We went from African auctions to affirmative action It's apparent they hated our parents 'cause of they black skin I questions our actions, like what are we doing? Our ancestors passed on a fight we aren't pursuing We went from blacks chained up to blacks locked up To cops on the block trained to get us all shot up I question our reaction, like why are we distracted? Trapped in a zoo like they caught a black panther We hustle and hustle and gain no wealth We wrestle and we crumble down due to bad health We caught up in the struggle, struggle with knowledge itself Don't wanna be the leader, quick to follow someone else Our daily dilemma seems to never be defeated Our deadly egos, they need to be depleted Social media activism should be deleted 'Cause the revolution won't be a revolution If the revolution is only tweeted and retweetedTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
