B. Russ - Wake Up Lyrics

Black Man rise from your slumber, we don't have a birth record no number
Direct descendant of the God who made us, now a product of the man who enslaved us
I love self before loving any neighbor, that don't make me a racist or hater
But we done passed around enough labor to become the cream of the Earth giving it flavor, later
To days of darkness, the wise are known to quench thirst in the valley of the driest bones
Black Entertainment is Vi-a-com, owned by the same people who divide your homes
So no I don't trust, no I don't trust, they still want to see us on the back of that bus
Tap dance or you bow down it's a plus, when you talk about freedom ain't much to discuss
Under Shaytan's rule man division is logic, hinder the progress then distribute a profit
William Thompson need a hearing with Congress, vaccines given, Autism deposits
You probably wondering "How could it be?", a lot going on that the eyes can't see
Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali, the God woke him up, set him free uh
See it in the news, see it on the streets, it really ain't new, it really ain't deep
Red white and blue, where freedom ain't free, believe it ain't true? Well soon you'll see
Babylon falling make an escape, death is abroad, death in the States
A lot is at odds when a lot is at stake, I'd give my life just to see us awake, Black man need to
Wake up, wake up, Black man really need to wake up
All around the world need to wake up, inside of America wake up
I don't care about a gossip or break up, Black man really need to wake up
Wake up, wake up, Black man really need to wake up
All I wanna say is they don't really care, but we follow them here and we follow them there
All I wanna say is they don't really care, but we follow them here and we follow them there
All I wanna say is they don't really care, but we follow them here and we follow them there
All I wanna say is they don't really care, but we follow them here and we follow them there
They been trying to kill of the will, how we feel 'bout ourselves ain't real
We can climb any mountain or hill, control weather like peace be still
They can interrupt freedom but not the genetics, their rise to power's on credit
So now massa is deeply indebted let us take what they owe, go and tell them I said it then dead it
The maker, the owner by God's permission but rebellious pride caused opposition
Four hundred years in a odd condition, still multiplying without a pot to piss in
You probably wondering "How could it be?", a lot going on that the eyes can't see
Could focus on me but I focus on we, heed the call 'till we all get free uh
See it in the news, see it on the streets, it really ain't new, it really ain't deep
Red white and blue, where freedom ain't free, believe it ain't true? Well soon you'll see
Babylon falling make an escape, death is abroad, death in the States
A lot is at odds when a lot is at stake, I'd give my life just to see us awake, Black man need to
Wake up, wake up, Black man really need to wake up
All around the world need to wake up, inside of America wake up
I don't care about a gossip or break up, Black man really need to wake up
Wake up, wake up, Black man really need to wake up
