A Better Tomorrow Lyrics - Wu-tang Forever - Wu-tang Clan

[- Method Man:] Wake up... 

wake up 

Wake up... Wake up, 

get a hold of your life, go get your cake up 

The motto in the streets is you eat, or you get ate up 

Straight up, you tired of waiting, go get your weight up 

My peoples tired of waiting for reparations to pay us 

Screaming Jesus can save us, I, I get the Bentley if I save up 

But that's just another trick to enslave us 

Push the minimum wages 

Put, put our fathers up in them cages 

Then watch out when mother struggled to raise us 

But, but my ambition won't let me live in this poor condition 

That doesn't care about color, creed, or your religion 

Priests, politicians gotta listen to opposition 

From my position, we still ain't got a pot to piss in 

From my position, we still ain't got a pot to piss in 

Allah said to save the babies from the cold 

Pour wisdom in the cup so the truth overflows 

Still, knowledge is that bread that keeps us well-fed 

Old time religion will not bring us satisfaction 

Without action now who can disagree with me? 

God is not a mystery, there's nowhere in history 

That you could show and prove to me 

But still you face east and nod your head to me religiously 

I'm G-O-D, to infinity, for real[- sample:]The world won't get no better 

If we just let it be 

The world won't get no better 

We gotta change it yeah, just you and mePoor reparations, the Bush administration 

Unequality, martial law, segregation 

False hood, false teaching, false education 

Now's the time for us to come amongst this nation 

They deceiving us, they don't believe in us 

They believe in that Cream like Julius Caesar 

I'm like Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X with the heaters 

Ripping the chains of the remains of all of the leaders 

Never worship the image if we were swine eaters 

I'm on the back of the bus with two fine divas 

We in the jungle of life, but never jungle fever 

I'm God-body all day long, spiritual life lessons 

That I recite with song 

Trying to wake up everybody, can't we all get along? 

For all my people that's out there persevering through the storm 

Black fist, Staten Island, stand up, stand strong 

Penetrate through the gate and bring the Clan alongWake up and realise the times 

That we living in the world is getting more iller than ever 

Thought we was chillin', striving change for the better 

But it was a dream like Martin Luther 

He had a vision that could move a mountain 

Protect one another, that's world to my brother Malcolm 

As-salamu alaykum, alaykum as-salam 

We want justice, police supposed to protect and serve 

And then they shoot us down like wild animals 

The nerve of them cold-hearted killers 

With blue suits slaying our black youth 

The earth cries from all the blood that's being spilled 

We need a solution fast, get Insh 

Allah bill 

Let me educate them, translate it meaning God's will 

It goes all in together, together how we are 

To stand with a plan, provided we down to fall 

And that's the Willie Lynch tactics that separated the masses 

Taught us all to think backwardsWe gonna change the world
