Wake Up
[00:38.150] Come on!
[00:43.320] Uggh!
[00:44.850]
[00:59.710] Come on, although ya try to discredit
[01:02.770] Ya still never read it
[01:04.180] The needle, I'll thread it
[01:05.520] Radically poetic
[01:07.060] Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
[01:10.290] And like E-Double I'm mad
[01:11.830] Still knee-deep in the system's shit
[01:13.230] Hoover, he was a body remover
[01:16.270] I'll give ya a dose
[01:17.520] But it can never come close
[01:18.950] To the rage built up inside of me
[01:21.640] Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy
[01:24.710]
[01:25.440] Movements come and movements go
[01:27.330] Leaders speak, movements cease
[01:30.130] When their heads are flown
[01:31.250] 'Cause all these punks
[01:32.430] Got bullets in their heads
[01:33.540] Departments of police, the judges, the feds
[01:36.470] Networks at work, keepin' people calm
[01:38.630] You know they went after King
[01:40.790] When he spoke out on Vietnam
[01:42.100] He turned the power to the have-nots
[01:44.290] And then came the shot
[01:47.640]
[01:57.290] Yeah!
[02:04.900] Yeah, back in this...
[02:10.210] Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
[02:15.170] Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
[02:16.140] Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
[02:18.450] To shake ya up, to break the structure up
[02:21.220] 'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
[02:23.970] I'm like takin' photos
[02:25.060] Mad boy kicks open the shutter
[02:26.840] Set the groove
[02:27.940] Then stick and move like I was Cassius
[02:29.670] Rep the stutter step
[02:30.840] Then bomb a left upon the fascists
[02:32.630] Yea, the several federal men
[02:34.810] Who pulled schemes on the dream
[02:36.450] And put it to an end
[02:37.830] Ya better beware
[02:39.060] Of retribution with mind war
[02:40.820] 20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
[02:43.530] Networks at work, keepin' people calm
[02:45.720] Ya know they murdered X
[02:47.490] And tried to blame it on Islam
[02:49.300] He turned the power to the have-nots
[02:51.730] And then came the shot
[02:54.900]
[03:30.650] Uggh!
[03:34.950] What was the price on his head?
[03:40.410] What was the price on his head!
[03:42.820]
[03:43.540]
[03:46.770] I think I heard a shot
[03:51.960] I think I heard a shot
[03:57.770] I think I heard a shot
[04:03.020] I think I heard a shot
[04:14.950] I think I heard a shot
[04:24.970] I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
[04:28.210]
[04:41.090] 'He may be a real contender for this position should he
[04:42.790] abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine
[04:46.280] of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'
[04:48.640] 'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
[04:49.290] pinpoint potential trouble-makers... and neutralize them.
[04:54.380] Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
[04:58.580] pinpoint potential trouble-makers... and neutralize them
[05:01.010] and neutralize them, and neutralize them, and neutralize them'
[05:04.700]
[05:06.240] Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
[05:17.030] Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
[05:29.460]
[05:53.030] How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what
