Wake Up Lyrics by Brand Nubian

Wake Up Lyrics

    The attribute Haji helper to another god in need
    He Allah God Islam
    As I proceed to civilize the uncivilized
    Word to wisdom from the groove to the wise
    I guess I'm like the verbalizer for the fact I'm moving blackwards
    This asiatic black man is a dog spelled backwards
    The maker, the owner, the cream of the planet Earth
    Father of civilization, God of the universe
    Manifesting thought with my infinite styles
    Making sure this travels only 23 million miles
    The other six I set the crucifix
    Cause the heart of the problem is this:
    Preacher got my old earth puttin money in a pan
    For the rest of the week now I'm eating out of soup cans
    He has a home, drives a Caddy through town
    Has my old earth believing that he's coming from the ground (Jesus)
    Slain were those who fought for what was right
    Slayed are those who fell victim to the bite
    Of drugs, controlled substances contained in a vial
    Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles
    Good at the game of tricknology
    But I have knowledge of myself you're not fooling me
    You see, the answer to me is black unity
    Unification to help our bad situation
    I wrote this on the day of wisdom power
    All being born to myself
    I won't diss the next brother to be paid that's not my trade
    It's just the plan that was designed by the colored man
    Now our babies are born to think this is the way of us (way of us)
    That's the way the devil wants it so it is no fuss (it is no fuss)
    It's just that sad old song self-destruction
    To stop our reproduction

    And put our wisdom before us (murderer)
    That makes it wisdom knowledge (murderer)
    So we need knowledge wisdom to bring forth the understanding (murderer)
    Culture freedom (murderer)
    Power refinement (murderer)
    Equality god build destroy born za cipher (muderer)

    (Can a devil fool a Muslim?) No, not nowadays bro
    (Do you mean to say the devil fooled us 400 years ago?)
    Y equals self a trader made an interpretation
    saying that we'd receive more gold for our labor in his nation
    (Did we receive more gold?) Now Cipher
    It's time to drop the bomb and make the devil pay the piper
    True indeed God true indeed hajj (lack of self) - (*repeat 2X*)
    True indeed God true indeed

    Wake up wake up wake up (Come on)
    Wake up wake up wake up (I want you to listen to me)
    Wake up wake up wake up (Come on now)
    Wake up wake up wake up (Bust it)

    The solution: knowledge of self to better ourself
    Cause I know myself that we can live much better than this
    Nothing's changed, it's just another sequel
    The devil's still causing trouble amongst the righteous people
    Drugs in our community (That ain't right)
    Can't even get a job (That ain't right)
    Poisoning our babies (That ain't right)
    Lying who is God (That ain't right)
    Now here's some food for thought
    Many fought for the sport
    And the black man still comes up short
    It's time to motiviate, build and elevate
    Blind deaf and dumb we've got to change our mindstate
    So I dip dip dive-a, civilize a 85er
    Gotta let him know the devil's a conniver
    This is the plan from the brotherman
    From the motherland now it's time to take a stand
    I keep to striving to do my duty to awaken
    To the universal family I say asalaam alaikum

    (Reggae chatter)

    Yeah
    Now I've gotta give a shout to my Brand Nubian brothers
    Lord Jamar, God Allah
    Derrick X is on the flex
    Alamo is good to go
    Sincere, the god is in here
    Move on black man move on
    We gotta move on black man move on - (*repeat 3X*)
    Yeah
    Now I gotta give a shout out to the SD 50's
    Putting this in effect
    I'm gonna say like this before I motivate
    Please educate Allah's children with equality
