Wake Up
Come on
Although you try to discredit
You still never edit
The needle I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Stanin with the fury that they had in '66
And like E double I'm mad
Standin knee deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I can give you a dose
But it can never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air in the land of hipocracy
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 back in this
With poetry my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin that 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 a move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled scemes on the dream
And put it to an end
You better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work keepin people calm
You know they murdered X
Tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the Have-Nots
And then came the shot
I think I heard a shot
Wake up
Sleeping Awake
Reveal to me
The mysteries
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe the visions
The meaning is missing
Won't anybody listen?
Define the riddles of my mind
Nothing is really as it seems
Dreaming of Zion awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion awake
Can't stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop sleeping awake
Can you see it?
The writing
Can you tell me what it means?
Translate the symbols; enigma
Expressions keep pushing me
The message slips and the meaning is missing
Won't anybody listen?
Prophecy; interpretate the signs
Nothing is really as it seems
Dreaming of Zion awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion awake
Can't stop sleeping awake
