Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And when I grew up, folks would click on sight, quick to fight
Blood thought he was Superman, made of kryptonite
We watched when dirty cops rolled through and abused power
Them yellow rocks got sold, and our souls, we lost ours
[Verse 2]
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
[Verse 3]
Slave master, sleep rappers
Still slaves, that's a different matter
Cops killing, all these drug dealings
All these sale flying, need to hit the ceiling
[Verse 4]
Our same bottoms happen every day
I just start this on the iPhone
All this war in America
South Florida, this is my home
[Verse 5]
The justice system failing, education system failing
All these black men in prison, that's indictment on the system
That's indictment on the system
[Verse 6]
Selling nickel rock, catch a sentence
Snitching child support, catch a sentence
Don't pay them tickets, you gon' catch a sentence
How do you kill someone and get acquitted?
[Verse 7]
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
[Verse 8]
Woke, yeah
Woke, yeah
Woke, yeah
[Verse 9]
Murder, lying, all these children dying
All these mothers crying, all these bullets flying
All these drop convictions, all this no snitching
All these summer killings, all these dirty politicians
[Verse 10]
Choppers and Uzi's
One life to live, live, live, use it
[Verse 11]
Shorty, they plotting against her
You blinded by broads and the riches
You blinded by all that designer
Gucci, Prada, Ferragamo
[Verse 12]
They holler black lives don't matter
And they don't rock down these streets
And they ain't giving no jobs
Pipeline to the penitentiary
[Verse 13]
A tweet don't mean you won't post on me
You won't get out here and be a mentor
[Verse 14]
Put your phone down and raise your kid
Be accountable, keep us accountable
Change how we see each other
[Verse 15]
You got the power to end the hate
You got the power to kill the rumor
You got the power to make a change
[Verse 16]
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke
[Verse 17]
I done got woke
I done got woke
