Wake Up (Reprise in the Sunshine) - Brand Nubian
Peace to the gods peace all ah
A yo there go that brother grand puba
I heard that brother got knowledge of self
Yo true indeed brother
Yo let's have that brother come over and add on to the cipher
A yo knowledge this
The attribute hagi helper to another god
In need he all ah god I***m
As I proceed to civilize the uncivilized
Word of wisdom to the groove from the wise speak on it god
I guess I'm like the verbalize for the fact I'm moving backwards
This Asiatic black man is a dog spelled backwards
The maker the owner the cream of the planet earth
Father of civilization god of the universe
Manifesting thoughts with my infinite styles
Making sure this travels twenty three million miles
The other six I set the crucifix
Because the heart of the problem is this speak on it god
Preacher got my old earth putting money in the pan
For the rest of the week now I'm eating out a soup can
He has a home drives a candy through town
Has my old earth believing that he's coming from the ground Jesus
Slain are those who fought for what was right
Slayed are those who fell victim to the pipe
A **** controlled substance contained in a vial
Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles
Good at the game of criminology
But I have knowledge of myself you're not fooling me
You see the answer to me is black unity
Unification to help our bad situation
I wrote this on a day of wisdom power
All being born to myself god
I won't dies the next brother to be paid that's not my trade
It's just the plan that is designed by the colored man
Now our babies are born to
Think this is the way of
Us the way of us
That's the way the devil
Wants it so it is no fuss it is no fuss
It's just that sad old song self destruction
To stop our reproduction
They put our wisdom before us murderer
That makes it wisdom knowledge murderer
But we need knowledge wisdom to bring forth the understanding murderer
Culture freedom murderer
Power refinement murderer
Equality god build destroy barns our cipher murderer
Can a devil fool a M****m no not nowadays bro
Do you mean to say the devil fooled us four hundred years ago
Why equal self a trader made an interpretation
Saying that we'd receive more gold for our labor in his nation
Did we receive more gold god now cipher
It's time to drop the bomb and make the devil pay the piper
True indeed god true indeed god why equal self
True indeed god true indeed god why equal self
True indeed god true indeed god why equal self
True indeed god true indeed why equal self
The solution knowledge of self to better our self
Cause I know myself that we can live much better than this
Nothing's changed it's just another sequel
The devil's still causing trouble among st the righteous people
***** in our community that ain't right
Can't even get a job that ain't right
Poisoning our babies that ain't right
Lying who is god that ain't right
Well here's some food for thought many fought for the sport
And the black man still comes up short
It's time to motivate build and elevate
Blind deaf and dumb we've gotta change their mind state
So I dip dip diver civilize a 85'er
Gotta let him know the devil's a conniver
This is the plan from the brother man
From the motherland now it's time to take a stand
I keep striving to do my duty to awake 'em
To the universal family I say a salaam balalaika
Yeah now I'm ma do like this
Nuff respects to the brother jazzy jay nuff respect
Nuff respects to my brand Nubian brothers
Bust it lord Jamar god all ah
Derek x is on the flex
Alamo is good to go
Sincere the god is in here
So move on black man move on
We gotta move on black man move on
Move on black man move on
We gotta move on black man move on
Now before I motivate I'm ma just say like this
Please educate Allah's children with equality
Move on black man move on
You gotta move on black man move on
Move on black man move on
You gotta move on black man move on
