INSOMNIAC (woke)

[Chorus: will.i.am]

Woke, woke

Waking up, waking up (woke)

Woke like that (woke)

We stay up, insomniac

[Verse 1: LGP Qua]

Shoutout the Eagles, we did it, we brought the ring back

So when I tell you change gon' come, better believe that

Go get a diploma, youngin sayin' I don't need that

He'd rather grip a thirty, rob a nigga with a ski mask

Streets is where the good die young, man it’s sad to say

Just graduated Friday, got killed Saturday

If you get a job they laugh at you, that’s the petty wave

If you go to jail, they don't care, they think you passed away

Back then, niggas they was loyal, not the same now

Nowadays your own man will rob you, look at A-Town

Colin Kaepernick, I support you, hands down

Taught us how to stand up, why you think we kneel down?

Valentines Day turned to a massacre when shots through

Seventeen people got killed in a Florida high school

Tell these little girls you a queen, that's the right move

More to life than twerking on the 'Gram and getting likes boo

Time to stop the hatin', time to make improvement now

Time to stop the killings and shootings and all the suicide

From the city brotherly love, you know it's do or die

Time to come together, stick together like a unibrow

I won’t sell my soul cause my pride won’t allow it (woke)

I ain’t selling drugs, nah, I'm just giving knowledge

Youngin had a bright future, could've went to college

But he chilled with his boys on the corner, then they shot him

[Chorus: will.i.am]

Woke, woke, woke

Waking up (woke), woke like that (woke)

We stay up, insomniac

Waking up (woke), woke like that (woke)

We stay up, insomniac

[Verse 2: will.i.am]

We went from African auctions to affirmative action

It's apparent they hated our parents 'cause of they black skin

I questions our actions, like what are we doing?

Our ancestors passed on a fight we aren’t pursuing

We went from blacks chained up to blacks locked up

To cops on the block trained to get us all shot up

I question our reaction, like why are we distracted?

Trapped in a zoo like they caught a blank panther

We hustle and hustle and gain no wealth

We wrestle and we crumble down due to bad health

We caught up in the struggle, struggle with knowledge itself

Don't wanna be the leader, quick to follow someone else

Our daily dilemma seems to never be defeated

Our deadly egos, they need to be depleted

Social media activism should be deleted

'Cause the revolution won’t be a revolution

If the revolution is only tweeted and retweeted
