Wake up, Niggers
Wake up,Niggers -The Last Poets
Written by :Alafia Pudim
Night descends as the sun's light ends
And black comes back to blend again
Wake up
And with the depth of the sun
Night blackness become one
Blackness being you
Peeping through the red the white and the blue
Dreaming of bars black civilizations that once flourished and grew
Hey wake up niggers or y'all through
Drowning in the puddle of the white man's spit
As you pause for some drawers in the midst of sh*t
And ain't got nothing to save your funky a**with
You cool fool sipping on a menthol cigarette'round midnight
Rapping about how the big apple is outta sight
When you ain't never had a bite
Who are you fooling me you
Wake up niggers or ya all through
In uptown two roaches are drowned in each other's piss
In downtown interracial lovers secretly kiss
While junkies are dreaming of total bliss
Somewhere in the atmosphere far away from here
Beyond realms of white dimensions gathered by suppressed intentions
As their cries cries cries go unrecognized
Except by their keeper the grim reaper
Save me a carnity shout as the lights go out
'Cause you ain't paid your'electric bill
And the rats and roaches move on in for the kill
As your lips struggle the grain that last drought from the wine bottle
And you roll snake eyes never to realizing that you blew
Wake up niggers or ya all through
Sitting in the corner with your minds tied to your behinds
Bona fied members of niggers anonymous
Never knowing which way you're going pimping off life
Turning tricks to slick dicks with candy asses
All masses are behelding a mind mourning for the late great black maaaaaaan
Ahhhhhhh meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen
You niggers understand up against the wall
Black male and farmers are a blow you away
And you'll never live to see the light of day
And the nightstick the nightstick it glides gracefully upside yo'head
That's right brothers and sisters you livin'dead
When the cock crows and the night goes
And it saves your a**in the nick of time
As you wake up and you start to find
Yourself laying up in bed scratching your a**in hand
Trying to remember where you recall this veneer nightmare
That always leave you feelin'blue
But you still can't place the man face as hard as you try to
Hey wake up niggers or we all through
