[00:02.02]WAKE UP
[00:29.90]Come on!
[00:43.06]
[00:44.08]Uggh!
[00:46.24]
[00:59.56]Come on, although ya try to discredit
[01:02.40]Ya still never edit
[01:03.90]The needle, I'll thread it
[01:05.39]Radically poetic
[01:06.83]Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
[01:10.12]And like E-Double I'm mad
[01:11.54]Still knee-deep in the system's shit
[01:13.98]Hoover, he was a body remover
[01:15.34]I'll give ya a dose
[01:17.49]But it'll never come close
[01:20.12]To the rage built up inside of me
[01:21.39]Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy
[01:25.20]Movements come and movements go
[01:28.42]Leaders speak, movements cease
[01:30.09]When their heads are flown
[01:31.35]'Cause all these punks
[01:32.36]Got bullets in their heads
[01:34.10]Departments of police, the judges, the feds
[01:36.09]Networks at work, keepin' people calm
[01:38.56]You know they went after King
[01:40.11]When he spoke out on Vietnam
[01:41.60]He turned the power to the have-nots
[01:43.42]And then came the shot
[01:57.21]Yeah!
[02:04.91]Yeah, back in this...
[02:06.59]
[02:09.83]Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
[02:11.84]Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
[02:14.60]Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
[02:18.23]To shake ya up, to break the structure up
[02:20.19]'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
[02:24.44]I'm like takin' photos
[02:25.31]Mad boy kicks open the shutter
[02:26.74]Set the groove
[02:27.48]Then stick and move like I was Cassius
[02:29.55]Rep the stutter step
[02:31.09]Then bomb a left upon the fascists
[02:33.58]Yea, the several federal men
[02:34.76]Who pulled schemes on the dream
[02:36.58]And put it to an end
[02:37.63]Ya better beware
[02:38.93]Of retribution with mind war
[02:40.96]20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
[02:42.72]Networks at work, keepin' people calm
[02:46.35]Ya know they murdered X
[02:47.64]And tried to blame it on Islam
[02:49.70]He turned the power to the have-nots
[02:53.30]And then came the shot
[03:00.99]
[03:30.40]Uggh!
[03:34.80]What was the price on his head?
[03:36.31]
[03:40.23]What was the price on his head!
[03:46.52]I think I heard a shot
[03:51.46]I think I heard a shot
[03:57.27]I think I heard a shot
[04:02.80]I think I heard a shot
[04:14.96]I think I heard a shot
[04:24.82]I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
[04:38.52]'He may be a real contender for this position should he
[04:40.96]abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine
[04:44.03]of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'
[04:45.68]'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
[04:50.27]pinpoint potential trouble-makers...And neutralize them,
[04:52.72]neutralize them, neutralize them'
[05:06.12]Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
[05:17.58]Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
[05:52.92]How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow
