Wake Up Call - Rebelution

It’s a shame when somebody shows

Diamonds and pearls to those you don’t

This goes out to the wealthy homes

That under the moonlight there’s a road

To a place for the struggling

Where people treat you like a human being

Free of racism and other things

Free from money and the imagery

Why oh why has it come to be?

People look up to celebrities

They do nothing for you and me

They should be giving it up to the community

And this ain’t just domestic man

This is a world wide problem and

Still people kill for the oil ya

Why you ask?

Well 'cuz there’s demand

But stay on top says the businessman

And let the world be left to strand

Hey next month I’ll make twice the grand

Things they are going just as planned

And he’ll spend most of it on what he sees

Maybe buy something he may never need

See now this is the mentality

Wake up call this is reality

You see now this is the mentality

Wake up call this is reality

Yesterday I saw a man explain, why he bought his seventh car to date

How does it feel to live the life you like, with millions of us left without a

ride?

And yet we look up to the stars and dream

What’s it’s like to live among elite

I see the future in a rut, with the poorest of the people in the mud

Well here’s a message Mr. Business man

The more you make the more the gap expands

The more you give the more the love you land

The more you take the more we suffer man

But he’ll spend most of it on what he sees

Maybe buy something he may never need

See now this is the mentality

Wake up call this is reality

You see now this is the mentality

Wake up call this is reality
