Payback - Get Up! Lyrics

Feel me!

We're livin' in the midst of the madness (It's crazy)
Time to unify the bougie and the ratchet (Yep!)
I was enslaved to the game but then adapted (Saw the light)
Opened my eyes to rise from the ashes (Woke up)
Will my people follow my lead? I don't know (Hmmm!)
I see the future and I'm tellin y'all it's possible (There it is)
Some say that we're too far gone, out of hope (Nah!)
Never mind the naysayers, yo! they gotta go (Bye bye)
Sign of the times people goin out of their minds
Revelations 20, 9, there it was prophesized
Self proclaimed leaders lie to keep us all blind
I spit LASIK, vision 20/20 eyein' the nation
So you can see clearly, the premise is basic
They want us 2nd class on a permanent basis
They're petrified, imbalanced homeostasis
Amerikkka, land of the free and home of the racists

All the things that we've gone through
And look at what it's come to
So what the hell we gon' do?
The time has come (Get up!)
Claimin' that we want a change
But same shit a different day
Are you woke or in a haze?
The time has come (Get up!)

Let me show y'all how the game go (Show 'em)
Get ya papaah up, mutha screw that Range Rove (Right!)
Waste away our power, it's painful (it hurts)
I'm bout a second away from goin' Django (Unchained)
From city to city the hoods are gentrified (Push us out)
We think that ice is colder homie that shit's a lie (The cock's crowin)
Take the land over, brand it SOLA, surprised? (South Central to Watts)
Everything they to look conquer dehumanize (Devils)
These coons and herbs, I could ignore 'em
Co-sign thru silence nah! no more decorum
Cooperate machines take images and distort 'em
We're easily appeased by greed too busy flossing
We should burn the Slauson, while the world is watching fa sho
Retaliate for hate, manifested thru votes
Alternative facts, Trump's a reality show
I heard he was wack but damn! he was mannin' the codes

All the things that we've gone through
And look at what it's come to
So what the hell we gon' do?
The time has come. Get up!
Claimin' that we want a change
But it's the same shit a different day
Are you woke or in a haze?
The time has come. Get up!

The Feds wanna ban the reefer, keep us
In a sunken place sipping from tea cups
Eyes wide open but asleep like Eric Floyd (Get out!)
They're keeping you, dreamin' or paranoid
So get ya paper up (Get it up!), cuz they ain't savin' us (Hell nah!)
Picket or marching, ya dollar is more dangerous (Geaponize it)
Lacin' beats with vision, this here's mission
Takin' knowledge to the streets and cleanse 'em

All the things we've gone through
And look at what it's come to
So what the hell we gon' do?
The time has come. Get up!
Claimin' that we want a change
But same shit a different day
Are you woke or in a haze?
The time has come. Get up!
