Wake Up - Rage Against The Machine
Come on
Uggh
Come on although ya try
to discredit
Ya still never read it
The needle I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that
they had in '66
And like E Double I'm mad
Still knee deep
in the system's shit
Hoover he was a body remover
I'll give ya a dose
But it can never come close
To the rage
built up inside of me
Fist in the air
in the land of hypocrisy
Movements come
and movements go
Leaders speak movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police
the judges the feds
Networks at work
keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power
to the have nots
And then came the shot
Yeah back in this
Wit' poetry my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson vocals
never lackin' dat finesse
Whadda I got to
whadda I got to do
to wake ya up
To shake ya up
to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows
in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move
like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left
upon the fascists
Yea the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20 20 visions and murals
with metaphors
Networks at work
keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power
to the have nots
And then came the shot

What was the price on his head
What was the price on his head
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
Wake up Wake up Wake up
Wake up
Wake up Wake up Wake up
Wake up
How long Not long
cause what you reap
is what you sow
