Wake the fuck up
You know
I don't like to use these type of words
But sometimes you just have to
Get people’s attention so
Wake the fuck up
And open your eyes
There’s a whole lot of shit going down
And I don't want you to be surprised
By the death of affirmative action
Wrapped up in time for Christmas
And the wall at or border
Those little men are defending
Put down your books and take a break
And look around on what’s at stake
Look at the faces wlking aound
Just how many you see are brown
Yellow, pink, and white,
I bet you’ll find the proportions aren’t right
Take walk into the city
And look into the eyes of many
Whom sleep on the streets wrapped in old
dreams
Cups rattling in the cold
Hungry and broken
And all they ask for is a token
A modicum of respect nd recognition
I hope by now you see my mission
Wake the fuck up
It makes me so mad
I cant breathe
And choke on rage
And self-loathing
You see I’m not speaking to you
At least not just you but
Myself too
The one who
Sits and waits for someone else
To pick up the banner and
Fight the great cause for their sake
Just wait just a second while I pause
And reflect on a world were man live alone
driven by greed
desire for fame
a world twisted and crumbling in the
the annals of he time
home to forked tongues and sheep
who are lulled by the promise of pipe dreams
i am mad as hell at
the people whom ignore the
suffering of the people living next door
at injustice and hate
and those who try and placate me by saying
that's the way it’s gotta be
fuck that and fuck them
who would lull and lie
to hide and trick you from the side
whispering sweet songs
sirens of the right
ignorant motherfuckers who are just trying to get by
getting by aint good enough
getting by isn’t right
and if you try and tell me otherwise
you're a mother fucking lie
