Wake Up

Come on
 ♪
 Come on, although you try to discredit
 You'll still never edit
 The needle, I'll thread it
 Radically poetic
 Standing 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 you a dose
 But it will never come close
 To the rage built up inside of me
 Fist in the air, in the land of hypocricy
 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
 Networks at work, keeping 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 lacking that finesse
 Who I got to, who 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 taking photos
 Mad boy kicks open the shutter
 Set the groove
 Then stick and move like I was Cassius
 Rep the stutter step and left a bomb upon the fascists
 Yeah, the several federal man
 Who pulled schemes 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 keeping people calm
 You know they murdered X
 And tried to blame it on Islam
 He turned the power to the have-nots
 And then came the shot
 ♪
 What was the price on his head?
