Wake up, wake up You've got the power Why don't you wake up, why don't you? Why don't you wake up? Why don't you wake up, why don't you? Why don't you wake up? Set it off for the plan up here, we gotta stand up here An' give thanks for the man upstairs Put the egos an' the pride to the side, regardless An' just be role models, parents, artists We can make a change and we can make it the hardest If you gon' make the babies, you make 'em the smarest Let 'em know good and bad, right from wrong How to roll with proachers, when life moves on And the stress won't take toll, if you don't sweat it World won't get no better, if we don't let it Let the negative energy ride, keep hope alive It's about time that we opened out eyes, wake up Why don't you wake up, why don't you? Why don't you wake up? Why don't you wake up, why don't you? Why don't you wake up?
