Rage Against The Machine - Wake Up
.
Come on Come on, although ya try to discredit Ya still never edit The
needle, I'll thread it Radically poetic Standin' with the fury that they
had in '66 And like E-Double I'm mad Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover I'll give ya a dose But it'll never come
close To the rage built up inside of me Fist in the air, in the land of
hypocrisy Movements come and movements go Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown 'Cause all these punks Got bullets in their
heads Departments of police, the judges, the feds Networks at work, keepin'
people calm You know they went after King When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot Yeah Yeah,
back in this Wit' poetry, my mind I flex Flip like Wilson, vocals never
lackin' dat finesse Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up To
shake ya up, to break the structure up 'Cause blood still flows in the
gutter I'm like takin' photos Mad boy kicks open the shutter Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius Rep the stutter step Then bomb a
left upon the fascists Yea, the several federal men Who pulled schemes
on the dream And put it to an end Ya better beware Of retribution with
mind war 20/20 visions and murals with metaphors Networks at work, keepin'
people calm Ya know they murdered X And tried to blame it on Islam He turned
the power to the have-nots And then came the shot What was the price on
his head? I think I heard a shot I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
Black nationalism He may be a real contender for this position should he
abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine of non-violence...and
embrace black nationalism' Through counter-intelligence it should be possible
to pinpoint potential trouble-makers...' And neutralise them' Wake up "How
long Not long, 'cause What you reap is what you sow."
