Nell B. - Wake Up (feat. Isaac) Lyrics

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Ooh na, na
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Ooh na, na, na

Wake up, my darlin'
You gotta get up okay?
Listen to what I say
Only reason you're asleep
Is cause it's been 400 years
Grandma nem been tryna
Resurrect you with they tears
With they tears
You ain't know your history
'Til you was 21
But your heart stops
When you see them lights on
Then they tried to tell you
Black is not beautiful
We put the country on our backs
We're powerful
Same men that built the pyramids
Lived in Africa
Tryna distract you
Tryna distract you, baby
They don't want you findin' out
What's the real pandemic

To the depths I will follow you
I'm a patient man
I will follow the plan
I know that I can improve
I'm a changin' man
And I will follow you
Yeah you
I'm your melanin man
You're my African queen

Wake up, Baby
Martin Luther King still ain't got his dream
And its still like a dream to me
Baby, we're like royalty
Got our back against the wall
What's its gonna be?
There's only one choice for me
And we all got feelings
But we're scared to say it
I know, I know its not easy
You ain't, you ain't got to be
Unafraid in front of me
Cause I got, I got us
And I got the essentials

To the depths I will follow you
I'm a patient man
I will follow the plan
I know that I can improve
I'm a changin' man
And I will follow you
Yeah you
I'm your melanin man
You're my African queen

Wake up, baby
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Ooh na, na
Wake up, baby
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Ooh na, na, na
Wake up, baby
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Ooh na, na
Wake up, baby
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Ooh na, na, na
