Testo Wake Up - Bishop Lamont feat. Mike Anthony
Testo della canzone Wake Up (Bishop Lamont feat. Mike Anthony), tratta dall'album The Preformation
I never thought I'd be Larry Fishburne
Screaming at the top of my lungs tryna make you learn
I didn't know I was in line but now it's my turn
Hate to be like Bill Cosby, maybe not
But niggas acting way sloppy, looking dumb a lot
Not motivated, I hate lecturing
But niggas too proud to work hard like the Mexicans
Orange as hell, Noah up in Home Depot
Tryna get some work, you'd rather ask for dough
Hold your sign in the street or at the liquor store
God damn but I hate to say it but as a race, we're a failure
If Martin and Locke was here I wonder what they'd tell ya
And tell me for all my ignorance and non-action
Enough marching people, our shoes done lost traction
It's time for new approaches, not that same yapping
It's time to ring the alarm
Throughout our history
Remains a mystery
Of some who'd rather sleep than wake up
I can't just let 'em dream
Cause it occurred to me
My responsibility to wake up
No Debbie Downer but my outlook ain't too happy bro
Does shit look cool to you? If you tripping please let me know
Cause all I see is hard times and a lot more
So watch the news instead of all these rap videos
They going broke too, music ain't viable
Why you think Jimmy Iovine be on American Idol?
And Dre is selling headphones instead of bomb beats
You rappers daydreaming, thinking shit is sweet
So keep on thinking shit is street and you'll be on the street
Or when you get a record deal, your life gon be complete
A ball contract, whatever homie, direct or act
Without a plan B just in case the fall back
I'm living proof, so don't fall for the trap
I'm talking real life, not no battle rap
And like Black Sheep, you can get with this or that
So ay pussy, wake up from the cat nap
Throughout our history
Remains a mystery
Of some who'd rather sleep than wake up
I can't just let 'em dream
Cause it occurred to me
My responsibility to wake up
I looked out my window the next day
And all the negative, it slowly started to fade away
The drugs stopped flowing through our neighborhood
No more fiends on the street, it was all good
They got cleaned up and most of them got jobs
While some stayed at home so they could be real moms
Got they children out the system and them group homes
No more runaways, lost code and all alone
No more gang banging, they called a final truce
Next the war was over, they brought back all the troops
Then the prisons did just like Nas used to dream
Opened every cell and let all our people free
From Akil to Shakur to Angola Three
But not OJ, fuck you nigga, please
No more nuke bombs, nigga just world peace
Wondered what a full world, but I was just asleep
Please, wake up
