wake up call

"Wake Up!"
Then i got to high to write
Lost sight
Of the focus
I was centered on all night

The true light
In all this hocus pocus
The locusts
Swarm in my mind

Try to rewind
To a time
Where i was
A little less frazzled
Dazzled
By all the bright colors

All the lost lovers
Are embodied in me
I see
Only what i can

Plan
On stepping up one day
Yellin' destroy the corrupt one way
Or another
We are sisters and brothers
Fathers and mothers
To our community
Promote our unity

Support the artistry

Or watch it fall into government supported
Anarchy
Living in distrust
LIke rust, In the revolution

Their solution
To civil unrest
Put 'em in colleges
Make 'em take tests
Put 'em in debt
So they're not a threat

Easy to say you can change the world
But the tick of life has already burled
Deeper then they know
Cause once your out you owe
And degrees are a dime a dozen today

So i work as a cop these days
So I feed you slop all day
So I work at the Co op
Cooped up with all this to say

Try to change my situation
Curve my aggravation
Revive this dying nation

My numbing agents don't work any longer
I need something stronger
To kill this pain
But still let the Love remain
In this fragile heart

Shattered apart
By carelessly thrown
Stones
At glass homes
With wooden mirrors

The purpose?
To make you see a bit clearer

I believe we still have a chance
To dance
In glorious light
But we must take up arms and fight
For they will be here soon
To leave this town in ruin
Unless we establish our roots
Bring voice to the mutes

The time is now
So bow
Your head
You have been miss lead
Malnutritioned, Unfed

These words of revolution ARE being said

So stand tall
Break down the walls
Of oppression
Don't fall victim to depression

We are the tribes
They've tried so hard to hide
Time to be abrupt

WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!
