We comin in this millennium from a era that was active attacking apathy and injustices, it stayed with all of us to attack fuckery across the century line, nothing new with us.
lyrics
Wake up wake up wake up
Wake up wake up wake up
Wake up wake up wake up
Hook Verse 1
I was born woke
Note I smoked the notes
Raged the stage
To fix what’s broke
I was born woke
stage is smoked
Rhymes in these life’s and times are no joke
Verse 1
I was born to deliver in these hard ass times
Got the crowd rockin
To these sick ass rhymes
Free your mind body souls
don’t be no slave
Get to ragin on the stage in this millennial age
Half sleep monster
Dredded like a Rasta
Championship roster
Smoked the imposter
Backs against the wall
When times are hard
Waking to the breaks screaming yellin for god
Hook 1
I was born woke
Note I smoked the notes
Raged the stage
To fix what’s broke
I was born woke
stage is smoked
Rhymes in these life’s and times are no joke
Verse 2
I was born woke
be thinking twice before I vote
I pay attention
Spit they hope I choke
I was born woke
third eyes disguised Behind fbi files
So I’m giving simple ass rhymes
I was born woke
Camouflage red black and green
For those be sitting on gasoline
I was born woke
So it’s God’s they trust
So asses to ashes
Trust to dust
I was born woke
No I ain’t scared of none of y’all
I tell it like it is
You should know it like your alcohol
I’m a take aim
Blow it to your brain
Show no shame
As I og stay in my lane
Hook 2
I was born woke
Note I smoked the notes
Raged the stage
To fix what’s broke
I was born woke
stage is smoked
Rhymes in these life’s and times are no joke
Verse bridge
Born woke
Amped up
Turned up
Raised up
Head up
Stand up
Hands up
Wire up
Fire up
I was born woke with three eyes
see through the fake and lies
truth seekers they despise
like the sun shine I rise
born woke see through the hoax not laughing at your jokes
Im really out here trying to wake up my folks
I was born woke don't sleep on my pedigree
the truest black brother on the mic you'll ever see
with a radio blasting art the enemy
head up step lively that's being free
I was born woke walking around the living dead
encryptic consciousness deciphering what I said
born woke won't back down to the hatred
that foul is so blatant keep your enslavement
I was born work to be free
from sea to shining sea
Chuck D and Jahi
microscope or telescope
rhyming brothers bringing hope
compromise for the check nope
that's why Im here cause I born woke
Chuck reads from Carl Sagan's "A Demon-Haunted World" and it's an intersection of my lifelong passions - PE and Sagan - that I would never have imagined. I love that. baetwas

Remember when fuck the police came out and hit like a Bomb (different I know).
FREE touches me in a similar way few other songs have in a long time. Incredibly powerful and emotional Icke
