Woke - Reconcile, Lecrae

When I grew up, folks would click on sight

Quick to fight

Blood thought he was Superman, Met a crip tonite

We watched when dirty cops rolled through and abused power Them yellow rocks

got sold, and our souls we lost ours

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke

Slave master, sleep rappers

Still slaves, that’s a different matter

Cops killing, all this drug dealing

All these shells flying, it done hit the ceiling

Same problems happen every day, I just caught this on the iPhone

All this war in America, South Florida, this is my home

The justice system failed us

Education system failed us

All these black men in prison, that’s indictment on the system

That’s indictment on the system!

Sell a nickel rock catch a sentence

Miss your child support catch a sentence

Don’t pay them tickets, you gon' catch a sentence

How you kill someone and get acquitted, dang!

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke

Murder, lyin', all these children dyin'

All these mother’s cryin', all these bullets flyin'

All these dry convictions, all this no snitchin'

All these summer killings, all these dirty politicians

(Gat, gat, gat, gat, gat, gat, gat!)

Choppers and Uzi’s

One life to live (Live)

Use it!

Shawty they plottin' against ya

You blinded by broads and riches

You blinded by all that designer

Gucci, Prada, Ferragamo

They hollerin' black lives don’t matter

And they don’t ride down these streets

And they ain’t givin' no jobs

Pipeline to the penitentiary

A tweet don’t mean you woke

Post don’t mean you woke

Get out here and be a mentor

Put your phone down and raise your kid

Be accountable, keep us accountable

Change how we see each other

You got the power to end the hate (hate)

You got the power to kill the root

You got the power to make a change

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke
