Woke Lyrics

Had my back against the wall way too many times

My darkest day are getting clearer since I took the time

To study and learn how channel thru those bad vibes

Universe tried to wake me I was in denial

Gotta practice what you preach and read in-between the lines

Everybody makes mistakes

Plenty people lie with a smile on their face

But it only takes one person to try and make a change in ya day

That's you and only you

You can't leave it to others to help pull you thru and

If your struggling with love learn how to love you

And the next one your with is gonna follow suit

(I'm living proof)

Got a good job? But are they for you?

If you need to call out can they afford too?

Hustle hard and they never will abort you

Sounds harsh but you know gotta tell the truth

And don't even get me started bout the navy blues

Another black man shot all up on the news

How can you say you protect us but so quick shoot

(How can you say you protect us; But so quick to shoot)

We screaming BLACK LIVES MATTER!

The justice system failed us like we didn't even matter

If I had lighter skin I'll probably face a different battle

Man it's so cold but we gon get up out this chapter because it's our world!

I'm so glad I've been woke (woke)

I'm so glad I've been woke

Took them steps to my growth (growth)

I'm so glad I've been woke (woke)

I'm so glad I've been woke

(Cheaaa Haaannn)

I'm so glad I've been woke

I'm so glad I've been woke

Took them steps to my growth

I'm so glad I've been woke

I'm so glad I've been woke (Cheaaa)

I'm so glad I've been woke

Cheaaaaa

Now let me break it down

Living my lifestyle it's hard to bare a child

Because the clothes I wear people think I'm wildin

But it ain't none of your business how I create my child

I'll always love them proud!

Fuck the stigmas I'm a whole woman

You can think what you want but I won't own nothing!

This is my life I got mine so I'm gonna live free

Your opinion will never have nothing on me!

Sooooo think about it before you make a comment

You could love me you could hate me

But I'll never be dishonored

Got this tatted on my back, so it's embedded in my armor

Brought this wisdom to the throne had to manifest my power like...

Martin Luther King back in 63'

Remember "I have a dream" was meant for you and me

It's time to wake up and bring back the unity

Nelson Mandela proved that we was meant to lead

(Haaannn)

I'm so glad I've been woke (woke)

I'm so glad I've been woke

Took them steps to my growth (growth)

I'm so glad I've been woke (woke)

I'm so glad I've been woke

(Haaannn)

I'm so glad I've been woke

Took them steps to my growth

I'm so glad I've been woke

I'm so glad I've been woke

I'm so glad I've been woke (woke)

(Cheaaaaaaa)
