about

freestyle over Mobb Deep's "Burn" called "Sleep Woke", a potent commentary on pseudo political, spiritual and cultural consciousness.

lyrics

“ Verse 1

im in the booth at the lab cuz the truth-- its sad

This whole woke thing has been reduced to a fad-

Being Conscious is the move but the movement is trash

we focused on the future or glued to the past

Respect to the 60s shout to the panther party

But nowadays you gon fall if you dont standin godly

And thats ALL facts- why you sound upset?

the next Malcolm X nah we ain't found him yet

forget ya kundalini yoga - your VEgan chicken

we gotta lead with conviction its a deeper mission

If this woke shit is fake what we speak is fiction

truth is what the people missin- keep em listening

All these internet healers and the gurus -

But Then you meet in person & they vibe dont Move you

lightworkers paradigm shift game changers

Readers and Astrologers speaking star language

Everybody aint a witch -a healer or shaman

Thats a higher calling its spiritual assignment---

So you betta watch ya back for these energetic predators

Devils in disguise… hustlers peddlers

They out to get the bread like a treasurer its simple

Its snakes in the grass and thieves in the temple -

Wearing -African symbols & african clothing

If ya ass dont live it then ya ass is posing]

Niggas rock a headwrap dashiki or a kufi

Then Swear that they Angela or malcolm or they huey

Raising your energy thats The key to your survival

Black is just a color and it really dont describe you


Verse 2

Go beneath the surface and the whole the superficial picture

More than drinking herbal tea tea & wheatgrass elixirs

saying peace sista - but you never live it

*How you woke and you aint never study metaphysics

They change up they whole outside presentation

But can your mind integrate the higher information do does your soul get

the downloads and revelation?

You still a zombie half sleep still complacent? -

They say love peace hotep

Then they fake mad talking bout protest

Then they Claiming that they riding for the oppressed

But its all superficial got no depth

I call em all woke sleepers - motivational speaker

Everybody meditating channeling orishas

Fake dropping jewels so called Truth seeker

name now felani & it used to be kisha -

sounds like they drop knowledge they speak deep

But its all for a follow or a retweet

Yeah I'm knowing what the deal is I be peepin-

Tell me how you woke if ya soul’s still sleepin

They could never say im sleep woke

I drop jewels like a boss do each flow

Marshall beast mode

It’ll cost you - please dont

You gon sew what you reap tho… (reap tho)

And all these Rap chicks rhyme about is giving the box

So imma set it off on em like vivica fox

Speak truth to the people - word they aint not ready-

you a goddess thats regal or a bird who’s petty

They all talk- verbal mastur

bation

Far as im concerned woke is just a fashion statement

I dont care if you a alpha or a kappa or mason

We could have unity if we surpass the hatin

Tell em pause, if they aint Propellin the cause

No more light skin dark skin melanin wars

So if you really on ya dean , go head and rep it

But you really not woke if ya aura dont reflect it
