[Intro: Malcolm X]
And when you and I here in Detroit and in Michigan and in America who have been awakened today, look around us
We too realize here in America, we all have a common enemy
[Chorus: Julius]
Muthafucka this is that woke shit, yeah that woke shit
Colin Kaepernick with his 'fro picked, yeah that woke shit
Vibranium in my bones bitch, yeah the strong shit
If you a coon you on that old shit, zambo shit
Muthafucka this is that woke shit, yeah that woke shit
Yo bum rush the show shit, yeah that woke shit
Like Public Enemy wrote this, you don't know shit
Right arm in the air with closed fist, yeah that woke shit
Muthafucka this is that
[Verse 1: Julius]
Woke shit that we on, you one of them ho niggas begone
My skin dark like the ancient Moors, I'm finna be waging war
(Hold up shit) Keep going
You wanna be in a nigga shoes then come see what a nigga do
I don't just wake up in a nigga body like I'm Lil Dicky I sleep as a nigga too
Follow me I got rules to break I'ma wake the human race
Big rifle I shoot the KKK
Strong enough to fight four man like Ali Bomaye
I'm a superhuman, black hero, no suit and cape but more like Rudy Ray
I'mma shoot a movie 'bout my crew's moving—where's Ava DuVernay?
[Verse 2: Demetrius]
Everybody wanna be a nigga but nobody really wanna be a nigga
Only wanna be a nigga when it seems convenient
Singing along the songs, they wanna speak nigga
But when they see police figures squeeze triggers on each nigga then they like: "Nigga please"
"I don't really wanna be another one of these deceased niggas These I can't breathe niggas," nah ain't me nigga
The realest shit I ever wrote, Pac ain't leave nigga, that's me
The realest ever known while you be claiming that woke shit in every song but that's hella wrong you ain't ready get it on 'til you dead and gone nigga let alone
Decipher the Medu Neter and every letter in the Rosetta Stone
Nigga every message Malcolm X ever said should be sketched and embedded and set it stone, nigga gone
[Chorus: Julius]
Muthafucka this is that woke shit, yeah that woke shit
Colin Kaepernick with his 'fro picked, yeah that woke shit
Vibranium in my bones bitch, yeah the strong shit
If you a coon you on that old shit, zambo shit
Muthafucka this is that woke shit, yeah that woke shit
Yo bum rush the show shit, yeah that woke shit
Like Public Enemy wrote this, you don't know shit
Right arm in the air with closed fist, yeah that woke shit
Muthafucka this is that woke
[Interlude: KXNG Crooked & Kanye West ]
A prophet named James Baldwin once said: "To be black and conscious in America is to be in a constant state of rage"
When you hear about slavery for four hundred years (Rage on)
For four hundred years? That sound like a choice
[Verse 3: KXNG Crooked]
I remember Kanye in that MAGA hat
How do I respond to that?
Shit, he can get his coon ass dissed while I count this double check just like Aaron, roger that
'Cause the justice system is a laundromat
Just wash niggas up, pull out the bleach
It's good for whites but bad for colors
I've watched niggas get hung out to dry when they pull out the sheets
I'm talking 'bout the sheets that they pull over the head with two holes in 'em, go get 'em
I don't give a fuck, I shoot holes in they clothes then I go to the show and compose a symposium
Sitting at the podium OD'ing with the flow like I'm on opium Holding the globe in my hand
Then I spin it on my middle finger like "fuck the world"
My eyes open, both of 'em
[Chorus: Julius]
Muthafucka this is that woke shit, yeah that woke shit
Colin Kaepernick with his 'fro picked, yeah that woke shit
Vibranium in my bones bitch, yeah the strong shit
If you a coon you on that old shit, zambo shit
Muthafucka this is that woke shit, yeah that woke shit
Yo bum rush the show shit, yeah that woke shit
Like Public Enemy wrote this, you don't know shit
Right arm in the air with closed fist, yeah that woke shit
Muthafucka this is that
[Outro: KXNG CROOKED]
Make America great again, that's MAGA
Twelve year old Tamir Rice gettin' murdered by the cops, that's MAGA
A little Mexican child being ripped from his parents arms at the border, that's MAGA
And of course that sexual predator in the White House named Donnie, walking up to Lady Liberty just to grab her by the pussy That's MAGA!
And when you and I here in Detroit and in Michigan and in America who have been awakened today, look around us
We too realize here in America, we all have a common enemy
[Chorus: Julius]
Muthafucka this is that woke shit, yeah that woke shit
