[00:00.00] 作曲 : Wu-Tang Clan
[00:01.00] 作词 : Wu-Tang Clan
[00:17.00] Wake up
[00:22.00] Wake up
[00:27.00] Wake up
[00:31.00] Wake up, get a hold of your life go get your cake up
[00:33.00] The motto in the streets is you eat, or you get ate up
[00:36.00] Straight up, you tired of waiting, go get your weight up
[00:39.00] My peoples tired of waiting for reparations to pay us
[00:41.00] Screaming Jesus can save us, I, I get the Bentley if I save up
[00:44.00] But that's just another trick to enslave us
[00:46.00] Push the minimum wages
[00:48.00] Put, put our fathers up in them cages
[00:50.00] Then watch out when mother struggled to raise us
[00:52.00] But, but my ambition won't let me live in this poor condition
[00:54.00] That doesn't care about color, creed, or your religion
[00:57.00] Priests, politicians gotta listen to opposition
[01:00.00] From my position, we still ain't got a pot to piss in
[01:02.00] From my position, we still ain't got a pot to piss in
[01:05.00] Allah said to save the babies from the cold
[01:07.00] Pour wisdom in the cup so the truth overflows
[01:09.00] Still, knowledge is that bread that keeps us well-fed
[01:12.00] Old time religion will not bring us satisfaction
[01:15.00] Without action now who can disagree with me?
[01:17.00] God is not a mystery, there's nowhere in history
[01:19.00] That you could show and prove to me
[01:21.00] But still you face east and nod your head to me religiously
[01:24.00] I'm G-O-D, to infinity, for real
[01:28.00] The world won't get no better
[01:33.00] If we just let it be
[01:38.00] The world won't get no better
[01:42.00] We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
[01:45.00] Poor reparations, the Bush administration
[01:47.00] Unequality, martial law, segregation
[01:50.00] False hood, false teaching, false education
[01:52.00] Now's the time for us to come amongst this nation
[01:55.00] They deceiving us, they don't believe in us
[01:57.00] They believe in that Cream like Julius Caesar
[02:00.00] I'm like Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X with the heaters
[02:02.00] Ripping the chains of the remains of all of the leaders
[02:05.00] Never worship the image if we were swine eaters
[02:08.00] I'm on the back of the bus with two fine divas
[02:10.00] We in the jungle of life, but never jungle fever
[02:12.00] I'm God-body all day long, spiritual life lessons
[02:15.00] That I recite with song
[02:17.00] Trying to wake up everybody, can't we all get along?
[02:19.00] For all my people that's out there persevering through the storm
[02:22.00] Black fist, Staten Island, stand up, stand strong
[02:25.00] Penetrate through the gate and bring the Clan along
[02:35.00] The world won't get no better
[02:40.00] If we just let it be
[02:45.00] The world won't get no better
[02:49.00] We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
[02:52.00] Wake up and realise the times
[02:53.00] That we living in the world is getting more iller than ever
[02:56.00] Thought we was chillin', striving change for the better
[02:58.00] But it was a dream like Martin Luther
[03:00.00] He had a vision that could move a mountain
[03:02.00] Protect one another, that's world to my brother Malcolm
[03:05.00] As-salamu alaykum, alaykum as-salam
[03:07.00] We want justice, police supposed to protect and serve
[03:10.00] And then they shoot us down like wild animals
[03:12.00] The nerve of them cold-hearted killers
[03:13.00] With blue suits slaying our black youth
[03:15.00] The earth cries from all the blood that's being spilled
[03:18.00] We need a solution fast, get InshAllah bill
[03:20.00] Let me educate them, translate it meaning God's will
[03:22.00] It goes all in together, together how we are
[03:25.00] To stand with a plan, provided we down to fall
[03:27.00] And that's the Willie Lynch tactics that separated the masses
[03:30.00] Taught us all to think backwards
[03:38.00] The world won't get no better
[03:43.00] If we just let it be
[03:48.00] The world won't get no better
[03:52.00] We gotta change it yeah, just you and me
[03:56.00] We gonna change the world
