Stay Woke (Feat. Miguel) - Meek Mill
How I keep from goin' under
It's like a jungle outside
Sometimes I wonder
how I keep from goin' under
We scream Black Lives Matter
but we still toting ladders
Watching our own brothers trying
to get at us
Dreams get shattered
when a scene full of crackers
And they charge you
with some shit you ain't do
You like what happened
We go get lawyers to say shit
we don't know how to talk
They told us to hate each other
before we learn how to walk
Mama taught you how to fight
fight before she taught you
how to write right
And daddy locked down
in the cell
can't kiss you night night
Monsters under the bed
every night
feel like it's fright night
Coke fumes in the air
mama holding on that pipe tight
And you catchin' contact
but never mind that
In a world where Black is wrong
and white right
it's like a combat
We go to war for our freedom
they say we equal
I used to wanna play like
Randall and be an Eagle
I used to play the quarterback
my dog would go receiver
That was 'til the ball got flat
by a dope needle on the pavement
It's amazin' this environment
we was raised in
On them papers one mistake
and I'm gettin' caged in
You gotta feel me
feel like the system tryna kill me
Got arrested and the charges F1
for popping wheelies stay woke
It was designed for us to fail
We still prevail through the hell
Yeah can you believe it
We're still undefeated
Though it was designed
for us to lose
We'll still make it through
nothing's impossible
Can you believe it
We're still undefeated
Picture me ten years younger
with some tats on my face
Takin' a bunch of Xannys with
the strap on my waist
Pointin' it at the camera like
mama ain't teach me manners
Tryna see mo' bills like I'm
headed to Alabama no wait
I can't judge them
I'm just trying to understand them
'Cause I used to pop Percs
pourin' purple in my Fanta
Had me swerving in my Phantom
like I'm runnin' from my dreams
I was headed for the slammer
I was plantin' all the seed
For them to bury me
I had my whole family mad at me
Fell deep in love with the game
and it married me
Judge said
I'll give you a chance
just don't embarrass me
Motivatin' these little niggas
is like a charity
Community service even though
they knew we was workin'
They did this to me on purpose
'cause I ain't movin' too perfect
I stay away from them clowns
watch how I move
through the circus
'Cause they
be weighing you down
even some of them dudes
in your circle stay woke
Though it's designed
for us to fail yeah
We still prevail
through the hell yeah
Can you believe it
We're still undefeated
Though it was designed
for us to lose
Nothing nothing
nothing's impossible no
Can you believe it
We're still undefeated
How can I pledge allegiance
to the flag
When they killin' all our sons
all our dads
I come from a place
when you kill your own
brother you can brag
Like he got bodies
but that's a fad no that's a fact
I'm screamin' out at your
corner nigga that's a trap
Screamin' out at your homie
nigga that's a rat
Catch a case with him
bet he crack
The odds against you
and they double stacked stay woke
Bought my mom a new crib
that's some gangster shit
Niece and nephews walking around
wearing minks and shit
Kept the hood motivated
this the thanks I get
Try to Ja Rule the kid
on some Wanksta shit
But that's impossible
'cause I'm unstoppable
The label can't drop me nigga
I'm too valuable
You thought I would lose
but I won and that bothered you
Still movin' 'round in Philly
just like the mobsters do
When I talked to Em and Hov
they said I'm proud of you
You stood tall back when
everyone doubted you
My reply is
I did what I gotta do
And I need that verse
'fore you retire too
Jumping all the obstacles
I'm way too wavy
Said I would lose boy
you way too crazy
Pick and choose either fame
or the money
fame will make you crazy
And the money will make them bad
bitches say Thank you baby
You're welcome
