Wake Up Lyrics - One For All - Brand Nubian

The attribute Hagi helper to another God 

In need He Allah God Islam 

As I proceed to civilize the uncivilized 

Word of wisdom to the groove from the wise 

I guess I'm like the Verbalizer for the fact I'm moving blackwards 

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, only twenty-three million miles 

The other six I set the crucifix 

Because the heart of the problem is this 

Preacher got my Old Earth putting money in the pan 

For the rest of the week now I'm eating out a soup cans 

He has a home, drives a Caddy 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 drug controlled substance, contained in a vial 

Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles 

Good at the game of tricknology 

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 

I won't diss 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 (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 Borns our Cipher (Mudererer) 

Can a devil fool a Muslim? 

No, not nowadays bro 

Do you mean to say the devil fooled us 400 years ago? 

Why Equal Self, a trader made an interpretation 

Saying that we'd receive more gold for our labor in this nation 

Did we receive more gold? 

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) 

The solution, knowledge of self to better ourself 

'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 amongst the righteous people 

Drugs 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 motiviate, build and elevate 

Blind deaf and dumb we've gotta change their mindstate 

So I dip dip diver, civilize a 85er 

Gotta let him know the devil's a conniver 

This is the plan from the brotherman 

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 asalaam alaikum 

Yeah 

Now I gotta give this shout to my Brand Nubian brothers 

Lord Jamar, God Allah 

Derek X is on the flex 

Alamo is good to go 

Sincere, the God is in here 

Ah move on black man, move on 

We gotta move on black man, move on 

We gotta move on black man, move on 

We gotta move on black man, move on
