Don't you fall asleep now
You must stay woke
Don't you fall asleep now
You must stay woke
I'm the pick of the litter
Umbilical cord
Got cut with the scissors
Mama and daddy only raised up winners
I came out a sprinter
In the meter dash
You need me for that
I'm never looking back
Cause these odds are stacks
Against me
They got modern day lynching
But y'all still won't pay attention
Too busy flexing on Instagram
For those who don't give a damn
You sell your soul to your Uncle Sam
Don't know who you are so you can't expand
It's much larger than what we see
They want our third eye blocked so we won't believe
They tell you god is a mystery
Like he ain't man and more blacker than dirt
Like he didn't cultivate earth
Why it gotta be like that
Testing on us like lab rats
Then we get stuck in your trap
Work our whole damn lives just to pay tax
Damn
Why it gotta be like that
Testing on us like lab rats
Then we get stuck in your trap
Work our whole damn lives just to pay tax
Don't you fall asleep now
You must stay woke
Don't you fall asleep now
You must stay woke
Haven't you heard It's open season
They killing us and not giving reasons
Then Granny left to clean up the bleeding
Left you alone in your broken home
Two shots in the chest and one to the dome
That's how you kill two birds with a stone
Little do you know that the soul lives on
Bottles popped and balloons are flown
Who will right this wrong
Not The one with the badge on
Who gon' fix this hurt
Subside the stress
Got a lot built up and
We won't confess
So we crave the weed
Need the liq
Fein for drugs
To forget
Call the plug
I can't quit
They say love
Still exist
I can't tell
Give me sex
Give me that vitamin D
Follow it up with plan B
Birth control
Rest their soul
Birth control
Rest their soul
Give me that vitamin D
Follow it up with plan B
Birth control
Rest their soul
Birth control
Rest their soul
But why it gotta be like that
Testing on us like lab rats
Then we get stuck in your trap
Work our whole damn lives just to pay tax
Damn
Why it gotta be like that
Testing on us like lab rats
Then we get stuck in your trap
Work our whole damn lives just to pay tax
