woke - empire cast lyrics

[verse 1]
i feel like i’m walking on my people
’cause white pavements 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

[pre-chorus]
bruised and abused
but we refuse to lose again
opened eyes, we will rise, we gon’ fight
we won’t die, we’re alive because we’re

[chorus]
woke, woke
ain’t going nowhere, we’re standing here
woke, woke
no more crying, no more blood and tears
woke, wok
we’re built on strength
we’ve buried all our fear
we all see what’s going on
no need to ring the alarm cause we’re woke

[verse 2]
my hands up, now please don’t shoot me, oh no
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

[pre-chorus]
this time bruised and abused
but we refuse to lose again
opened eyes, we will rise, we gon’ fight
we won’t die, we’re alive because we’re

[chorus]
woke, woke
ain’t going nowhere, we’re standing here
woke, wok
no more crying, no more blood and tears
woke, wok
we’re built on strength
we’ve buried all our fear
we all see what’s going on
no need to ring the alarm cause we’re woke

[bridge]
we gon’ fight, everything gon’ be alright
we’re aware, don’t you see us standing here?
we’re much stronger than you think
we gon’ swim now, we won’t sink
it’s gonna take a million people
to try to hold us back from freedom
what about all the mothers that are losing all their sons
what about all the daughters that are losing all their fathers
too much blood in the street, won’t you stop k!lling my people?
never going back to sleep ’cause we’re all fighting for the peace
because we’re woke
