GRAVEDIGGAZ - Better Wake Up lyrics

[Chorus x3: Frukwan]

Better wake up

Better wake up

Now's the time

You better wake up, yo!

[Poetic]

Yo, yo, aiyo

My country tis of thee, bloodshed and misery

Ain't nobody givin me, liberty, New York City

Be makin it, hard to cope God

They even built a bulletproof benz for the Pope

Hard screens, group piece to hang loose

Off of a noose, of a rope in a tree

And still we supposed to see

Equality especially these days, when we gotta fight

Just to waste our equality of life

See urb' children hung a pain cut like a knife

No dome for the lights, in a room full of cockroach' and mice

Dad runnin out of ways of fixin the hot water pipes

Bad plumbin, storms comin, the wind's hummin

The Farrenheit tonight is 32 degrees, Tony please

Wake up, go help ya pop fix the boiler

I hand him the tools outta the box

I watched doin the knowledge to the look in his eyes

Ate lies to protect, four sons, one daughter

And his wife, her father, and plus himself

I didn't comprehend back then, he was teachin me

How to survive in the cold world's refrigerator

I'm bein chased by the queen later

As I collect supreme data, as a teenager

The unseen danger of bein a crew chaser

It seems major, green papers

Causes gray hairs, blood sweat and tears for long years

Mom said "You gotta be strong, dear, press on, dear

The load is heavy but it's still one that you can bear"

As the tear rolled off her cheek, nothin to eat

She's makin miracles wit some flour and some heat

No meat, it's aight mom, I'm vegetarian

Half boar, half humanitarian

[Chorus x2]

[Frukwan]

Burnin buildings, abandoned children

Splashed drinks, addicted fiends

Drop outs, cop outs, of nicotine

Sittin back and think how keen that it will be

Reverse the spinnin of Earth to Adam & Eve

Day one, 445 apart

Feel it in ya heart, cuz it's so for real

In the mind, it develops and becomes the deal

Like my universal flag, everything's complete

Thinkin I ain't God, look and you shall see

But you won't, for so many fools that tried

To search for mysterious God and I

Thinkin back as a slave, wildin in them J's

Wit thoughts of bein free, was never the same

Some commited suicide, cuz times was harsh

And the ones who survived that got brainwashed

From lightnin, thunder, hail storm

I can never forget, I be a Gatekeep, Frukwan

Even thru my name, history will burst

Cuz I'm the maker, the owner, the cream of the planet Earth

Father of civilization, God of the universe

Yo slave is slave, that's why I they call that

Cuz the 85%'s yo, and that's a fact

They be wonderin why they eat so much pork

Cuz it taste so good, and that's how they was taught

Bein brought up in a world of Christianity

By your mother, and your father, most of ya family

We go to Church every Sunday, like you never did before

Gotta learn about someone that you never saw

The preacher is a mason of the highest degree

That's why I ain't have to go under Allah's study

The rabbis and the minester's are keepin ya blind

So you can die wit them in the last day and time

Like a child is born, wit no state of mind

And bein blind from the ways of mankind

But when you look up in the sky and all you see is blue

Yo, that's caused by the sun and the water too

Tell us, why the Devil does not teach us that

Cuz the black man is God, and that's a fact

Yo, original man was here ever since the day one

And that's when you can say, the Earth had begun

Cuz within the Earth, yo, exist today

The wisest group of indiviuals that always stay

And they are known, what, as the 5%

And for one, let me tell you, that's what I represent

So niggas out there, in a world of confusion

Powerful eyes of Allah will see ya execution

[Chorus x2]
