I used to get high to sedate my fear and hate of those who take power
Create chaos to dominate
Sobered up a clean slate
Clean break from the old goals
A new fare, to take my people by the hand
'cause I know I'm not alone like Michael Fran
Just trying to understand
All the positive and negative and give it it's place
Coming to the conclusion that we all the same race
Which is human so what we doing?
Trying to segregate things
Break things to hell with that s***
Let's make things happen
Until clapping is nothing but the sound of applause
Celebrating we succeeded in the cause, like that y'all
Finally we're awake
We're gonna change the game
And we don't have to wait
Life is way too poetic for me not to describe it
The pain of my people is too much to try and hide it
Life is a trip man
All you can do is ride it
Irie, open minded until the truth
You'll find it
Who ever knew it was right under your eyelids
Close them one more time
I know you won't mind it's me you hear it from
And not your daddy
You carry your own
I'm not your caddy
Got no handicap yo
Just a handy rap flow
Using what's under my cap
You know how that goes
Make one plus one equal more than two so these two cats can mean so much more to you
Finally we're awake
We're gonna change the game
And we don't have to wait
I keep my vision on panoramic
While most stay stuck in the same social dynamics and so they panic
Yo they act frantic
Same closed-minded antics
Acting like they got know storage room up in their attic
Even when they claim to spread love
And unity they limit it to just one group in the community
I go farther than that though my hat low
Nose to the grindstone
But take time to chat yo
Stay in touch witch my family plus reality
Thus maintaining my sanity and that's the strategy
See that's the strategy
Finally we're awake
We're gonna change the game
And we don't have to wait
