Woke Lyrics - Artist : Empire Cast
I feel like I'm walking on my people
Cause white pavements keep turning brown Mistreated with no explanation Still not enough to hold us down It feels like 1960 When Dr. King fought for our lives Bruised and abused but we refuse to lose again Open eyes, we will rise, we gone fight We won't die, we're alive, because we're Woke, woke Ain't goin nowhere we're standing here Woke, woke No more crying, no more blood and tears Woke, woke We're built on strength, we've buried all our fears We all see what's going on, no need to ring the alarm, cause we're Woke My hands up now, please don't shoot me That's the last thing I heard him say His birthday was on next Tuesday But he won't live to see another day Oh, that's my brother, yeah I miss him Another body, another victim All because of this crooked system They took him, they cooked him This time bruised and abused but we refuse to lose again Open eyes, we will rise, we gone fight We won't die, we're alive, because we're Woke, woke Ain't goin nowhere we're standing here Woke, woke No more crying, no more blood and tears Woke, woke We're built on strength, we've buried all our fears We all see what's going on, no need to ring the alarm, cause we're Woke We gon' fight Everything gon' be alright We're aware, don't you see us standing here? (Don't you see us?) We're much stronger than you think We gon' swim now, we won't sink It's gonna take a million people To try to hold us back from freedom What about all the mothers That are losing all their sons What about all the daughters That are losing all their fathers Too much blood in the street Won't you stop killing my people Never going back to sleep Cause we're all fighting for the peace Because we're Woke! |
