Wake up Everybody |
Wake up everybody |
No more sleepin' in bed |
No more backward thinkin' |
Time for thinkin' ahead |
The world has changed |
So very much |
From what it used to be There is so much hatred |
War and poverty, whoa, oh Wake up, all the teachers |
Time to teach a new way |
Maybe then they’ll listen |
To what’cha have to say |
'Cause they’re the ones who’s coming up And the world is in their hands |
When you teach the children |
Teach 'em the very best you can |
The world won’t get no better |
If we just let it be, na, na, na The world won’t get no better |
We gotta change it, yeah |
Just you and me Wake up, all the doctors |
Make the old people well |
They’re the ones who suffer |
And who catch all the hell |
But they don’t have so very long |
Before the Judgment Day |
So wont’cha make them happy |
Before they pass away |
Wake up, all the builders |
Time to build a new land |
If we all lend a hand |
The only thing we have to do Is put it in our mind |
Surely things will work out |
'Cause they do every time |
The world won’t get no better |
If we just let it be, na, na, na The world won’t get no better |
We gotta change it, yeah |
Just you and me It’s the God hour, the morning I wake up, |
Just for the breath of life I thank my maker, |
My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers, |
My mind builded on skyscrapers and acres, |
He said take us back to where we belong, |
I try to write a song as sweet as the Psalms, |
Though I am the type to bear arms and wear my heart on my sleeve, |
Even when I fell in God I believe, |
We the days at, |
Weave through the maze and the season so amazing, |
Feed them and raise them, |
Seasons are asian, |
Earthquakes, wars and rumors, |
I want us to get by but we more then consumers, |
We more than shooters, |
More than looters, |
Created in his image, |
So God live through us, |
And even in his generation living through computers |
On love, love, love can reboot us Wake up, everybody |
Wake up, everybody |
Need a little help, y’all |
Yes I do, need a little help |
Need a little help, y’all ay Wake up everybody |
Wake up everybody |
Wake up everybody |
