Woke - Empire Cast
I feel like i'm walking on my people, cause white pavemoents 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 Opened eyes we will rise we will rise we gone fight we won't die we're alive because we're (Woke, woke).. Ain't goin no where 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 fear We all se 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 opened eyes we will rise we gone fight we won't die we're alive because we're Woke woke.. Ain't goin no where we're standing here Woke woke.. no more crying no more blood and tears Woke woke.. we're built onstrength we've buried all our fear We all se what's going on no need to ring the alarm cause we're Woke.. We gone fight everything gone be alright we're aware don't you see us standing here, We're much stronger than you think we gone swim now we won't sink it's gone 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's are losing all their fathers Too much blood in the street wont you stop killing my people never going back to sleep cause we're all fighting for the peace because we're Woke!!
