Moor Mother, Wolf Weston - BARELY WOKE lyrics

Hold this chaos poem in your
Lap and raise it up
(I feel barely woke)
To be everything your pain doesn't
Allow you to be
(Just need to wake up, wake up)
I feel barely, I feel barely woke
Just need to wake up, wake up, wake up
I feel barely woke
I feel barely woke
Yeah, I'm lost again, giving up hope
I could really use a win
I could really use a friend
To pick me back up again
To tell me that it's not the end
To tell me that it's not the end

Too much surveillance on me
Cameras, they zoom in on mе
(Wake up, wake up)
Too much surveillancе on me
Cameras, they zoom in on me
(Wake up, wake up, I feel barely woke)
I feel barely woke
Just need to wake up

Lost in the world
Feel like I'm lost in a dream
Can you tell me what it all really means?
Will we ever reach our dreams?
Or get shot by a cop or fiend
I don't wanna die today
Gotta find another way
All eyes on me, I won't run away
I got something to say
Yo, I could really use a win
I could really use a friend
To pick me back up again
To tell me that it's not the end
It's not the end
Tell me that it's not the end
(To tell me that it's not the end
It's not the end)
I feel barely woke
Cut the bullshit, I'm running for orbit
Let me spit my shit, live from the pulpit
We all been wrong, you know the song
I see you singing
You know the hate, you know the hate
I see what you thinking
Every nine seconds a woman's
Life is shrinking
Y'all not hearing me
But they always asking me
And my answer is always fuck
This, fuck that, nigga
Can't cancel me
I listen to the entity, they gave you life
I'm a ceremonial knife
I can shift this shit, I can lift this shit
I can last all night
I'm the holder of light
I can heal this shit, I can
Lift this shit, levitate this shit
Make a portal of light
You been soundin' so bright
If only we could wake up
With a little more urgency
If only we could wake up
With a little more urgency
State of emergency
But I feel barely woke
