Stay Woke

You're living life without a care
Ignoring struggles everywhere
How can you say you're unaware
With so much going on out there

Don't ignore what you see
Don't let injustice be
Stay woke

Be aware
People are struggling out there
So much despair
Yet so many don't even care
Can you take a stand
Lend out a helping hand
Stay woke
Just stay woke
Stay woke
Just stay woke

Now is the time to accept the change
Look within never be the same
You have got to love a neighbor
Embrace a stranger
And we can be what we wanted to see
Yes you and me we possess the key

Cell phones new apps and social media
People get they degrees from Wikipedia
Only care about what's in the media
They don't care about what they feedin' ya
I don't like him and he don't like me
Why can't everyone see that the system hate we
Seems like y'all sleep
Counting sheep
Got the 'itis while millions don't eat
Not yo problem, apathy
See not caring makes things worse you see
Read a book cover to cover make more time for one another
Like in the morning on your school days, "wake up we need each other"
Times is getting harder
Mothers raise your daughters
Fathers raise your sons
And spread love to everyone
Cause the world need hope
Change is in our scope
When it comes to hate don't participate
Now I ain't sayin' I'm perfect I'm me.
And you do you as long as you able to breathe
But don't be screamin' about how life ain't fair
And you can't even stay awake and aware...

So just be aware
People are struggling out there
So much despair
Yet some people don't even care
Can you give a damn
Lend out a helping hand
Stay woke
(Come on, wake up)
Just stay woke
(Come on, wake up)
Just stay woke
Just stay woke
Just stay woke
Just stay woke

Can you open your eyes
Can you be aware
People are dying out there
(Vibe to it y'all)
Just stay woke
