BARELY WOKE
Hold this chaos poem in your lap and raise it up (I feel barely woke)
To be everything your pain doesn't allow you to be (just need to wake up, wake up)
I feel barely, I feel barely woke
Just need to wake up, wake up, wake up
I feel barely woke
I feel barely woke
Yeah, I'm lost again, giving up hope
I could really use a win
I could really use a friend, to pick me back up again
To tell me that it's not the end, to tell me that it's not the end
Too much surveillance on me
Cameras, they zoom in on me (wake up, wake up)
Too much surveillance on me
Cameras, they zoom in on me (wake up, wake up, I feel barely woke)
I feel barely woke
Just need to wake up
Lost in the world, feel like I'm lost in a dream
Can you tell me what it all really means?
Will we ever reach our dreams?
Or get shot by a cop or fiend
I don't wanna die today, gotta find another way
All eyes on me, I won't run away, I got something to say
Yo, I could really use a win
I could really use a friend, to pick me back up again
To tell me that it's not the end, it's not the end
Tell me that it's not the end (to tell me that it's not the end, it's not the end)
I feel barely woke
Cut the bullshit, I'm running for orbit
Let me spit my shit, live from the pulpit
We all been wrong, you know the song, I see you singing
You know the hate, you know the hate, I see what you thinking
Every nine seconds, a woman's life is shrinking
Y'all not hearing me, but they always asking me
And my answer is always "Fuck this, fuck that, no, you can't cancel me!"
I listen to the entity, they gave you life
I'm a ceremonial knife
I can shift this shit, I can lift this shit, I can last all night (I can last all night)
I'm the holder of light
I can heal this shit, I can lift this shit, levitate this shit, make a portal of light
You been soundin' so bright
If only we could wake up with a little more urgency
If only we could wake up with a little more urgency
State of emergency
But I feel barely woke
To be everything your pain doesn't allow you to be (just need to wake up, wake up)
I feel barely, I feel barely woke
Just need to wake up, wake up, wake up
I feel barely woke
I feel barely woke
Yeah, I'm lost again, giving up hope
I could really use a win
I could really use a friend, to pick me back up again
To tell me that it's not the end, to tell me that it's not the end
Too much surveillance on me
Cameras, they zoom in on me (wake up, wake up)
Too much surveillance on me
Cameras, they zoom in on me (wake up, wake up, I feel barely woke)
I feel barely woke
Just need to wake up
Lost in the world, feel like I'm lost in a dream
Can you tell me what it all really means?
Will we ever reach our dreams?
Or get shot by a cop or fiend
I don't wanna die today, gotta find another way
All eyes on me, I won't run away, I got something to say
Yo, I could really use a win
I could really use a friend, to pick me back up again
To tell me that it's not the end, it's not the end
Tell me that it's not the end (to tell me that it's not the end, it's not the end)
I feel barely woke
Cut the bullshit, I'm running for orbit
Let me spit my shit, live from the pulpit
We all been wrong, you know the song, I see you singing
You know the hate, you know the hate, I see what you thinking
Every nine seconds, a woman's life is shrinking
Y'all not hearing me, but they always asking me
And my answer is always "Fuck this, fuck that, no, you can't cancel me!"
I listen to the entity, they gave you life
I'm a ceremonial knife
I can shift this shit, I can lift this shit, I can last all night (I can last all night)
I'm the holder of light
I can heal this shit, I can lift this shit, levitate this shit, make a portal of light
You been soundin' so bright
If only we could wake up with a little more urgency
If only we could wake up with a little more urgency
State of emergency
But I feel barely woke
