I'm tired of watching my people struggle daily
Bills stackin' up while politicians play me, pay me
No mind to the pain we facin', basic
Needs ignored while they chase their placement, statement
After statement, but where's the action at?
My neighbor lost her job, can't pay her taxes back
While they tax our backs and relax in mansions
I'm asking hard questions, demanding answers, man...
Who's really awake out here? (Who's awake?)
Who's ready to break out here? (Break these chains)
Who's tired of the fake loud cheers? (All the lies)
Tell me - who's awake out here?
They promise change but rearrange the same old game
Blame the people for the pain that they create and claim
It's natural, but that's a lie, we see through
Every single policy that bleeds us, feeds their crew
While we bleed through paycheck after paycheck trying
To survive while they thrive off of our buying
Power, every hour getting sour in the street
Can you feel the heat? It's time we...
Who's really awake out here? (Who's awake?)
Who's ready to break out here? (Break these chains)
Who's tired of the fake loud cheers? (All the lies)
Tell me - who's awake out here?
(Time to wake up, wake up)
(Stand up, stand up)
The power's in our hands if we unite our plans
(Wake up, wake up)
So I'm speaking to you, brother, sister, cousin too
We got work to do, can't let them run us through
Another decade of this mess they made
Time to get paid attention to our cause, because
We're done waiting for their validation
Time for us to build our own foundation
Who's with me when I say enough's enough?
The people's voice is...
Who's really awake out here? (Who's awake?)
Who's ready to break out here? (Break these chains)
Who's tired of the fake loud cheers? (All the lies)
Tell me - who's awake out here?
(Who's awake? Who's awake?)
(We're awake, we're awake)
Time to rise up...
