Maybe it is me who is the one that they call Neo
Is it my job to show all of my people the true deal?
My people are living the best they ever have in this land
But is it due to our hard work or a hand out from the man?
Are we truly asleep and strapped into the will of the oppressor?
The things we feel are our happiness
Are they really just our stressor?
As we strive for success in a land full of trouble and tricks
Are we in our new reality or is this nothing but our Matrix

A New World Order is upon us and we aren’t even aware
Your ability to register and vote is under attack and it
doesn’t seem to scare
you at all or did you even pay attention to the situation?
You would rather choose to focus on your money and your occupation
They attack and destroy us from all sides of the Black Family
But my God said “No Weapon Formed Can Stand Against Me”
Or you
But what are we to do when we are all asleep
We are content with where we are and don’t even let out a peep

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
After listening and watching School Daze this line stuck
And as I look at our current situation it seems a bit bleak
Who will be the voice of our time? Who will step up and speak?
Who will shine a light into the darkness and expose
The true situation so that we can heal all of those
Who are blinded by a quest for the “Amerikkkan Dream”
Who will be the one to show that our Black Minds still need to be freed
