Lyrics

Don't you fall asleep now You must stay woke Don't you fall asleep now You must stay woke I'm the pick of the litter Umbilical cord Got cut with the scissors Mama and daddy only raised up winners I came out a sprinter In the meter dash You need me for that I'm never looking back Cause these odds are stacks Against me They got modern day lynching But y'all still won't pay attention Too busy flexing on Instagram For those who don't give a damn You sell your soul to your Uncle Sam Don't know who you are so you can't expand It's much larger than what we see They want our third eye blocked so we won't believe They tell you god is a mystery Like he ain't man and more blacker than dirt Like he didn't cultivate earth Why it gotta be like that Testing on us like lab rats Then we get stuck in your trap Work our whole damn lives just to pay tax Damn Why it gotta be like that Testing on us like lab rats Then we get stuck in your trap Work our whole damn lives just to pay tax Don't you fall asleep now You must stay woke Don't you fall asleep now You must stay woke Haven't you heard It's open season They killing us and not giving reasons Then Granny left to clean up the bleeding Left you alone in your broken home Two shots in the chest and one to the dome That's how you kill two birds with a stone Little do you know that the soul lives on Bottles popped and balloons are flown Who will right this wrong Not The one with the badge on Who gon' fix this hurt Subside the stress Got a lot built up and We won't confess So we crave the weed Need the liq Fein for drugs To forget Call the plug I can't quit They say love Still exist I can't tell Give me sex Give me that vitamin D Follow it up with plan B Birth control Rest their soul Birth control Rest their soul Give me that vitamin D Follow it up with plan B Birth control Rest their soul Birth control Rest their soul But why it gotta be like that Testing on us like lab rats Then we get stuck in your trap Work our whole damn lives just to pay tax Damn Why it gotta be like that Testing on us like lab rats Then we get stuck in your trap Work our whole damn lives just to pay tax
