Wake Up
When you dream just dream sweet dreams
When you wake up you will see me
Pray to God you don't have any nightmares
When you dream just dream sweet dreams
Listen
Nothing in my life could ever be wasted
I'm the investment
The exception
Always elated
They be outdated with they two left feet
Out there chasing a bag tripping on sneaker laces
Ouch
I am the difference
Always committed
College educated come test my records with super vision prove it to ya
I am the hero they waited for to come save the era
Open your ears to hear my cadence
But don't be baited
I am the one don't call me son
I shine as bright one
Don't push or you'll regret the day you swung
You are forbidden
From my beautiful garden better stop flower picking
I know that I'm bliss but I'm allergic to ignorance
Either stay back or get educated
People who can't get the vision better start steppin'
I'm your worst nightmare bigger than your demons
When you dream just dream sweet dreams
When you wake up you will see me
Bring it back
Ain't no time to play
I'm on my way
No looking back
I'm unafraid
I'm self aware
They stop and stare
They take their aim
My crown is my armor
Imma hit you back since you curious
Being called a traitor got you tight and delirious
Can't accept the fault in your ways you point the finger
But you ain't see the three pointing back to convict your demeanor
I swear division what really gon' kill us
It's real and it's vicious
To them it's delicious
They stay big pimpin'
We work for their system
And remain the victim
Don't you know by now
Your knowledge is power
So don't play dumb
You know what's up
You know the games
They always play
They shoot to kill
We must survive
Lay down your pride
Stand by my side
Pray to God you don't have any nightmares
When you dream just dream sweet dreams
I done seen enough I want action
More feet on the pavement to defend our black skin
Defend black babies
Defend the maybes
Defend the ones that's locked up on the daily
Ain't gotta be excellent to deserve to live
But I see and want more for us and our kids
The rights denied
My right to life
Still choose equality 'cause we just that nice
They won't say we matter so show them up
Clean up the streets
Refuse defeat
No more friendly fire
Too much tears been wept
Too much cries forgotten
Fallen on deaf white ears
Punished for being Black
We got all the power
They get rich off of our talents
Black voices are silenced
They ignore the violence
Imagine us taking
All our music back
Bring all that wealth back to motherland
Being black ain't free it comes with a price
Getting killed in the streets in broad daylight
You say you ain't a sell out but you know the money is nice
No more daydreaming
Consumed with materials
It's time to mobilize
I see you
It's time that you listen and see me too
Black women deserve to be honored just like you
Stop with all the blood shed
Show them how we value life
I march for the ones who can't fight
I march for the ones who died before the world sees the light
It's time to wake up
When you wake up you will see me
Pray to God you don't have any nightmares
When you dream just dream sweet dreams
Listen
Nothing in my life could ever be wasted
I'm the investment
The exception
Always elated
They be outdated with they two left feet
Out there chasing a bag tripping on sneaker laces
Ouch
