Stay woke
When the system trynna play you
Erbody wanna play you, now
Stay woke
Stay woke
Catch me outside
How bout that
How to let go of all that crap
Had to let go of people
That just always used to stab my back
Had to stay woke, cuz that's my truth
Had to stay real, unlike you
Had to stay true, had to stay me
Had to stay humble like i do
C'mon
Gotta work hard for your shit
The struggle and the hustle
Gotta be a strong boss bitch
Always ready for the rumble
This world will knock you down
& cause you a lot of trouble
But in the end, you'll understand
There's always light in the tunnel
Stay woke
When the system is trynna play you
Erbody is trynna play u, now
Stay woke

Cuz we better and clever
Stay woke, on some g-shit
Stay woke on some real shit

They say stay woke
I've been woke
& that's how I know nigga
The way the system been playin us
Like a game nigga
They wanna control us
And make everyone the same nigga
I ain't goin change cuz i know
Who the fuck I is nigga
I've been the same
What's there to change
I just need faith right now
Faith that one day, we'll be okay
And we can still lie down
Hopes that truth will set us free
Cuz lies just tie us down
The games they play, it ain't no fun
Can they just stop right now?
They say stay woke
And I feel like that's the new era
Who knows what the future holds
With present full of propaganda
I feel so bad for the kids
Living in this generation
Brainwashed the youth
Distort the truth
Minds left in eradication
C'mon
Stay woke
Cuz this world is an illusion
Open your eyes to this bullshit
C'mon
Stay woke
Gotta do it now or never
Cuz we is better and clever
C'mon
