Nimbus, Khaya - Woke Enough Lyrics

Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Are you woke enough?

I'm tryna build an empire just like Lucious Lyon
I'm not lying, coffin's the last place I'll lie in
So why rest now, I'll rest enough when I'm dead
So grab a paper and pen and get your ass out y our bed

I'm 'bout to begin; Step One: Knowledge Of Self
You need to know who are for your own self respect
Because I noticed that my people's cultures are getting extinguished
Your first words in Zulu, but your last shall be in English
What is this?
How dare you give them permission to beat you up, take your land
Accepting their religion. It's contradiction
To tell the truth, is just my mission
You can't handle the heat, then get the hell up out the kitchen

They tell a vision, through the use of television
Make it their mission to change our minds and our perception
The misdirection is the root of all aggression
There is no question. I know you're broke, but pay attention!

Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Woke enough?

They tryna bite like Dracula. How spectacular. Bullets sink deep like
The fangs of a tarantula. They've got no character. Cops, in particular
If there's a petition for black unity, I'll put my signature

Yeah, it's for the boys in blue. Who do more crime then the criminals do
Hold up. Wait
That makes you criminals too. I'm so sick of these pigs I might just get swine flu
So many witnesses with pigment differences
I'm like Colin Kaepernick, I can't stand injustices

So feel alive, even with load-shedding you gotta be the light!
So feel alive, even with load-shedding you gotta be the light!

Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Are you woke enough? I'm tryna wake you
Woke enough?

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Stay woke, stay woke, stay woke

Wake up, wake up, wake up, yeah!
Stay woke, stay woke, stay woke
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, w
