Woke Lyrics - Empire Cast

I feel like i'm walking on my people, 

cause white pavemoents keep turning brown 

Mistreated with no explanation 

still not enough to hold us down 

It feels like 1960, when dr. king fought for our lives 

bruised and abused but we refuse to lose again 

Opened eyes we will rise 

we will rise we gone fight 

we won't die we're alive 

because we're

(Woke, woke). Ain't goin no where 

we're standing here 

(Woke woke). no more crying 

no more blood and tears 

(Woke woke). we're built on strength 

we've buried all our fear 

We all se what's going on no need 

to ring the alarm cause we're 

Woke. 

My hands up now please don't shoot me, 

that's the last thing i heard him say 

his birthday was on next tuesday 

but he won't live to see another day 

Oh, that's my brother yeah i miss him 

another body another victim 

all because of this crooked 

system they took him 

they cooked him

This time bruised and abused 

but we refuse to lose again 

opened eyes we will rise 

we gone fight we won't die 

we're alive because we're 

Woke woke. Ain't goin no where

What about all the mothers that 

are losing all their sons 

what about all the daughters that's 

are losing all their fathers 

Too much blood in the street 

wont you stop killing my people 

never going back to sleep cause 

we're all fighting for the peace 

because we're
