Lecrae, Reconcile - Woke lyrics

When I grew up, folks would click on sight
Quick to fight
Blood thought he was Superman
Met a crip tonite
We watched when dirty cops rolled through and
Abused power Them yellow rocks got sold
And our souls we lost ours

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke

Slave master, sleep rappers
Still slaves, that's a different matter
Cops killing, all this drug dealing
All these shells flying
It done hit the ceiling
Same problems happen every day
I just caught this on the iPhone
All this war in America, South Florida
This is my home the justice system failed us
Education system failed us
All these black men in prison
That's indictment on the system
That's indictment on the system!
Sell a nickel rock catch a sentence
Miss your child support catch a sentence
Don't pay them tickets
You gon' catch a sentence
How you kill someone and get acquitted, dang!

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke

Murder, lyin', all these children dyin'
All these mother’s cryin'
All these bullets flyin'
All these dry convictions
All this no snitchin'
All these summer killings
All these dirty politicians
(Gat, gat, gat, gat, gat, gat, gat)
Choppers and Uzi’s one life to live (Live)
Use it! Shawty they plottin' against ya
You blinded by broads and riches
You blinded by all that designer
Gucci, Prada, Ferragamo
They hollerin' black lives don’t matter
And they don’t ride down these streets
And they ain’t givin' no jobs
Pipeline to the penitentiary
A tweet don’t mean you woke
Post don't mean you woke
Get out here and be a mentor
Put your phone down and raise your kid
Be accountable, keep us accountable
Change how we see each other
You got the power to end the hate (hate)
You got the power to kill the root
You got the power to make a change

Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke
Woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke, woke
Woke
