A Better Tomorrow

Wake up, wake up
 Wake up, Wake up
 Get a hold of your life, go get your cake up
 The motto in the streets is you eat, or you get ate up
 Straight up, you tired of waiting, go get your weight up
 My peoples tired of waiting for reparations to pay us
 Screaming Jesus can save us, I, I get the Bentley if I save up
 But that's just another trick to enslave us
 Push the minimum wages
 Put, put our fathers up in them cages
 Then watch out when mother struggled to raise us
 But, but my ambition won't let me live in this poor condition
 That doesn't care about color, creed, or your religion
 Priests, politicians gotta listen to opposition
 From my position, we still ain't got a pot to piss in
 From my position, we still ain't got a pot to piss in
 Allah said to save the babies from the cold
 Pour wisdom in the cup so the truth overflows
 Still, knowledge is that bread that keeps us well-fed
 Old time religion will not bring us satisfaction
 Without action now who can disagree with me?
 God is not a mystery, there's nowhere in history
 That you could show and prove to me
 But still you face east and nod your head to me religiously
 I'm G-O-D, to infinity, for real
 The world won't get no better
 If we just let it be, na na na, na na na
 The world won't get no better
 We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
 Poor reparation, the Bush administration
 Unequality, martial law, segregation
 False hood, false teaching, false education
 Now's the time for us to come amongst this nation
 They deceiving us, they don't believe in us
 They believe in that Cream like Julius Caesar
 I'm like Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X with the heaters
 Ripping the chains of the remains of all of the leaders
 Never worship the image if we were swine eaters
 I'm on the back of the bus with two fine divas
 We in the jungle of life, but never jungle fever
 I'm God-body all day long, spiritual life lessons
 That I recite with song
 Trying to wake up everybody, can't we all get along?
 For all my people that's out there persevering through the storm
 Black fist, Staten Island, stand up, stand strong
 Penetrate through the gate and bring the Clan along
 The world won't get no better
 If we just let it be, na na na, na na na
 The world won't get no better
 We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
 Wake up and realise the times
 That we living in the world is getting more iller than ever
 Thought we was chillin', striving change for the better
 But it was a dream like Martin Luther
 He had a vision that could move a mountain
 Protect one another, that's world to my brother Malcolm
 As-salamu alaykum, alaykum as-salam
 We want justice, police supposed to protect and serve
 And then they shoot us down like wild animals
 The nerve of them cold-hearted killers
 With blue suits slaying our black youth
 The earth cries from all the blood that's being spilled
 We need a solution fast, get Insh
 Allah bill, let me educate them, translate it meaning God's will
 It goes all in together, together how we are
 To stand with a plan, provided we down to fall
 And that's the Willie Lynch tactics that separated the masses
 Taught us all to think backwards
 The world won't get no better
 If we just let it be, na na na, na na na
 The world won't get no better
 We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
 We gonna change the world
 We gonna change the world
 We gonna change the world
