Woke (feat. Sierra McClain) Lyrics

I feel like i'm walking on my people,
cause white pavemoents keep turning brownMistreated with no explanation
still not enough to hold us downIt feels like 1960, when dr. king fought for our lives
bruised and abused but we refuse to lose againOpened eyes we will rise
we will rise we gone fight
we won't die we're alive
because we're(Woke, woke).. Ain't goin no where
we're standing here
(Woke woke).. no more crying
no more blood and tears
(Woke woke).. we're built on strength
we've buried all our fear
We all se what's going on no need
to ring the alarm cause we'reWoke..My hands up now please don't shoot me,
that's the last thing i heard him say
his birthday was on next tuesday
but he won't live to see another dayOh, that's my brother yeah i miss him
another body another victim

all because of this crooked
system they took him
they cooked himThis time bruised and abused
but we refuse to lose again
opened eyes we will rise
we gone fight we won't die
we're alive because we'reWoke woke.. Ain't goin no where
we're standing here
Woke woke.. no more crying
no more blood and tears
Woke woke.. we're built onstrength
we've buried all our fear
We all se what's going on no need
to ring the alarm cause we'reWoke..We gone fight
everything gone be alright
we're aware don't you see us
standing here,We're much stronger than you think
we gone swim now
we won't sink it's gone take a
million people to try to hold us
back from freedomWhat about all the mothers that
are losing all their sons
what about all the daughters that's
are losing all their fathersToo much blood in the street
wont you stop killing my people
never going back to sleep cause
we're all fighting for the peace
because we're
Woke!!
