Wake Up

Brass Against

COME ON!!

Come on

Although ya try to discredit, ya still never edit

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 you a dose but it′ll 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, (WHAT?!) the judges (WHAT?!), the feds

Networks at work, keeping 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!

Yeah, back in this!

With poetry my mind I flex

"Flip" like Wilson, vocals never lackin' that finesse

Who I got to, who I got to do to wake you up?

To shake you up, to break the structure up

Cause blood still flows in the gutter

I′m like taking 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

YEAH! Several federal men

Who pulled schemes on the dream and put it to an end

You better beware of retribution with mind war

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!

I THINK I HEARD A SHOT!

I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

Black Nationalism

May be a brave contender for this position

But should he abandon his supposed ′obedience'

To the ′White liberal doctrine' of non-violence

And embrace Black Nationalism

Through counter-intelligence, it should be possible

To pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them

And neutralize them

And neutralize them

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!!
