LGP Qua, will.i.am - INSOMNIAC (woke) lyrics

Woke, woke waking up, waking up (woke)
Woke like that (woke) we stay up, insomniac

Shoutout the Eagles, we did it
We brought the ring back
So when I tell you change gon' come
Better believe that go get a diploma
Youngin sayin' I don't need that
He'd rather grip a thirty
Rob a nigga with a ski mask
Streets is where the good die young
Man it’s sad to say

Just graduated Friday, got killed Saturday
If you get a job they laugh at you
That’s the petty wave
If you go to jail, they don't care
They think you passed away
Back then, niggas they was loyal
Not the same now
Nowadays your own man will rob you
Look at A Town
Colin Kaepernick, I support you, hands down
Taught us how to stand up
Why you think we kneel down?
Valentines Day turned to a
Massacre when shots through
Seventeen people got killed in
A Florida high school
Tell these little girls you a queen
That's the right move

More to life than twerking on the
'Gram and getting likes boo
Time to stop the hatin'
Time to make improvement now
Time to stop the killings and
Shootings and all the suicide
From the city brotherly love
You know it's do or die
Time to come together
Stick together like a unibrow
I won’t sell my soul cause
My pride won’t allow it (woke)
I ain’t selling drugs, nah
I'm just giving knowledge
Youngin had a bright future
Could've went to college
But he chilled with his boys on the corner
Then they shot him

Woke, woke, woke
Waking up (woke) , woke like that (woke)
We stay up, insomniac
Waking up (woke) , woke like that (woke)
We stay up, insomniac

We went from African auctions
To affirmative action
It's apparent they hated our parents
'cause of they black skin
I questions our actions
Like what are we doing?
Our ancestors passed on a
Fight we aren’t pursuing
We went from blacks chained up
To blacks locked up
To cops on the block trained to
Get us all shot up i question our reaction
Like why are we distracted?
Trapped in a zoo like they
Caught a blank panther
We hustle and hustle and gain no wealth
We wrestle and we crumble down
Due to bad health
We caught up in the struggle
Struggle with knowledge it'self
Don't wanna be the leader
Quick to follow someone else

Our daily dilemma seems to never be defeated
Our deadly egos, they need to be depleted
Social media activism should be deleted
'Cause the revolution won’t be a revolution
If the revolution is only
