They talkin bout some world war 3 we still at war with police And it seems we so far from achieving world peace So far It’s two steps forward and one back I been to the bottom I ain’t tryna go back The years 2020 and we still treated whack Oops, my bad I mean we still treated black We built this country, now, can we have it back? Everyday hoping, we don’t slip through the cracks Of the concrete that we was slammed on If you wanna see change you gotta be hands on The first step is saying to yourself, I am wrong Hoodies up for Trayvon, I can’t believe that man gone Where’s my 40 acres that my children could prance on This is not a dance song, not a clap your hands song Rest In Peace to Eric garner, they did that man wrong Shot laquan 16 times, and said man down It’s like we always at a concert can’t put our hands down They always say that nobody ne of us can swim but I can’t drown It’s a white mans world, what happened to black towns Still divided by our race, the hate never ran out Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka wake up Wake up, Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka, Amerikkka The American Dream is looking more like a nightmare White picket fences, and white clouds of thin air White president White House white mayor White angels white Snow White hair Black devils black wheels make the world go round Black blood make the grass grow when the sun down And black boys being hunted by a black bloodhound Always on the run cause they always tryna run down Truth hurts, but it’s the truth, you gotta face it Next step in the process, gotta retrace em You could never walk in my shoes, you gotta lace em Put a bullet in his body but he coulda tazed him This is for my future kids hope that I can raise em Teach em if they see a problem it’s okay to say sum Be a leader, always be a alpha not a beta One day show em St. Thomas and Jamaica Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka wake up Wake up, Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka, Amerikkka I can’t let our family’s history become another mystery Really starting to think, that’s the root of all our misery Cause how you gone love yourself when you don’t even know who you are Constellate, when you don’t know that deep down you a star Think about it, this is just I have seen from afar Another shot for him Like the cop was up in a bar Send the SWAT team in Cause America’s the hoop And they send us to the bleachers if we dare to shoot Or you get Kunta Kinte’d, bet you never seen Roots Don’t gimme the loot, jus gimme the truth When the chips are stacked against you homie what you gon do People said they got your back, dont know what you goin thru So much pain we gotta sooth People gone too soon So much healing left to do I miss my brother Kidus Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka wake up Wake up, Amerikkka wake up, Amerikkka, Amerikkka
