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
