I know what I'm about to speak

Might make some enemies

But it means too much to me

So why don't we just pull up a seat?

Straight talking, you and me

What happened culturally?

They say if it looks good, then it must be

A little lipstick, and you can't see

The monsters hiding underneath

'Cause we're out cold in a woke dream

While the thief is taking everything

And the truth is outside whispering

"Hey, wake up"

So wake up

I think the devil's tryna play us

He's mesmerized us with the makeup

But it's made up

Open your eyes, stop buying all the lies

Yo, 'cause evil

Been dressing up to fool the people

Got all the saints on pins and needles

'Cause truth's illegal

But I really don't care, I'm a lot more scared

If we don't wake up

Oh, we gotta wake up

There's a war against our souls

Wake up

Oh, we gotta wake up

From the lies that we've been sold

What is love if we don't tell the truth?

Even if it hurts, 'cause that's what love would do

'Cause hate speech is what we don't say

We go with the lie 'cause we're too afraid

To speak up when you're near the ledge

'Cause gravity, it don't change

And your truth won't change a thing

Don't find out walking off the edge, oh

Wake up

So wake up

I think the devil's tryna play us

He's mesmerized us with the makeup

But it's made up

Open your eyes, stop buying all the lies

Yo, 'cause evil

Been dressing up to fool the people

Got all the saints on pins and needles

'Cause truth's illegal

But I really don't care, I'm a lot more scared

If we don't wake up

Oh, we gotta wake up

There's a war against our souls

Wake up

Oh, we gotta wake up

From the lies that we've been sold

This is not me versus you, my friend, 'cause that's when no one wins

It's not the place I try to prove I'm right, we're running out of time

What we feel may seem right, but feelings can tell lies

When we stay in our pride, and we will not humble ourselves

We miss His grace to get help

So open your eyes and see the side you're with, is it life or death?

Satan won't tell you how the party ends until you're too far in

He'll lure you with makeup and a fake truth that he made up, but it's not too late

Oh, it's not too late to wake up

Oh, we gotta wake up

So wake up

I think the devil's tryna play us

He's mesmerized us with the makeup

But it's made up

Open your eyes, stop buying all the lies

'Cause evil

Is always dressing up to fool the people

Got all the saints on your pins and needles

The truth's illegal

But I really don't care, I'm a lot more scared if we don't wake up
