Wake Up Everybody

Wake up everybody, no more sleepin' in bed No more backward thinkin' Time for thinkin' ahead The world has changed so very much From what it used to be There is so much hatred, war and poverty Wake up, all the teachers, time to teach a new way Maybe then they'll listen to what'cha have to say 'Cause they're 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 wont'cha 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 mind Surely things will work out 'Cause they do it every time, 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 Yea, 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 mind built 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 am the type to bear arms and wear my heart on my sleeve Even when I fell, in God I believe Beat the deserts Weave through the maze and the season so amazing Feed them and raise them Seasons are aging Earthquakes, wars and rumors I want us to get by but we more then consumers We more than shooters More than looters Created in his image, so God live through us And even in this generation living through computers Only love, love, love, can reboot us, c'mon Oh, wake up, everybody No more sleepin' in bed Oh, wake up, everybody 'Cause I need a little help, y'all Can't do it alone (sleeping in bed) Oh, I need a little help, y'all (wake up everybody) C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon I need a little help, y'all Can't do it alone Oh, I need a little help, y'all (wake up everybody) Can't do it alone Ooh-ooh (wake up everybody) (No more sleeping in bed) Wake up everybody Wake up everybody Wake up everybody
