Wake up Everybody (feat. Common & Melanie Fiona)

(Real)

Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed

No more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead

The world has changed so very much from what it used to be

There is so much hatred, war, and poverty, oh-oh, yeah-yeah

Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way

Maybe then, they'll listen to what you have to say

'Cause they are the ones who's coming up, and the world is in their hands

When you teach the children, teach them the very best you can, oh yeah

The world won't get no better

If we just let it be, oh no

The world won't get no better

We gotta change it, yeah

Just you and me

Wake up all the doctors, make the old people well

They're the ones who suffer and who catch all the hell (and who catch all the hell)

But they don't have so very long before their judgment day

So, won't you make them happy before they pass away? Oh, yeah

Wake up all the builders, time to build a new land

I know we can do it if we all lend a hand

The only thing we have to do is put it in our minds

Surely, things will work out 'cause they do every time, yeah

The world won't get no better

If we just let it be, oh-oh-oh

The world won't get no better

We gotta change it, yeah

Just you and me

Hey-hey, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

It's the God hour, the morning I wake up

Just for the breath of life, I thank my Maker

My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers

My mom building on skyscrapers and acres

He said, "Take us back to where we belong"

I try to write a song as sweet as the Psalms

Though, I'm the type to bear arms

And wear my heart on my sleeve

Even when I fell in God, I believed

Read the days that weave through the maze

And the seasons so amazing, feed them and raise them

Seasons are ageing, earthquakes, wars, and rumours

I want us to get by, but we're more than consumers

We're more than shooters, more than looters

Created in this image, so God live through us

And even in this generation, living through computers

Only love, love, love can reboot us, think about it

Oh, wake up, everybody, no more sleeping in bed

Oh, wake up, everybody, yeah

Because I need a little help

I can't do it alone

We all need a little help, y'all

Come on, come on, come on, come on

I need a little help, y'all

Can't do it alone

I need a little help, y'all

Can't do it alone

Oh (wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed)

Wake up everybody

Wake up everybody

Wake up everybody
