BARELY WOKE

[Chorus: Moor Mother, Wolf Weston & Both] Hold this chaos poem in your lap and raise it up (I feel barely woke) To be everything your pain doesn't allow you to be (Just need to wake up, wake up) I feel barely, I feel barely woke Just need to wake up, wake up, wake up I feel barely woke I feel barely woke Yeah, I'm lost again, giving up hope I could really use a win I could really use a friend, to pick me back up again To tell me that it's not the end, to tell me that it's not the end [Post-Chorus: Moor Mother] Too much surveillance on me Cameras, they zoom in on mе (Wake up, wake up) Too much surveillancе on me Cameras, they zoom in on me (Wake up, wake up, I feel barely woke) I feel barely woke Just need to wake up [Verse: Moor Mother, Wolf Weston & Both] Lost in the world, feel like I'm lost in a dream Can you tell me what it all really means? Will we ever reach our dreams? Or get shot by a cop or fiend I don't wanna die today, gotta find another way All eyes on me, I won't run away, I got something to say Yo, I could really use a win I could really use a friend, to pick me back up again To tell me that it's not the end, it's not the end Tell me that it's not the end (To tell me that it's not the end, it's not the end) I feel barely woke Cut the bullshit, I'm running for orbit Let me spit my shit, live from the pulpit We all been wrong, you know the song, I see you singing You know the hate, you know the hate, I see what you thinking Every nine seconds a woman's life is shrinking Y'all not hearing me, but they always asking me And my answer is always fuck this, fuck that, nigga, can't cancel me I listen to the entity, they gave you life I'm a ceremonial knife I can shift this shit, I can lift this shit, I can last all night I'm the holder of light I can heal this shit, I can lift this shit, levitate this shit, make a portal of light You been soundin' so bright If only we could wake up with a little more urgency If only we could wake up with a little more urgency State of emergency But I feel barely woke
