Awake, Not Woke

Hook

Don’t be woke, be awake, see the world with your eyes,

’Cause the “truths” that they’re sellin’ are the slickest disguise.

What they label as the lies might be wisdom in the skies,

Flip the script, break the frame, let your real mind rise.

Verse 1

I’ve been walkin’ through the noise, every channel, every feed,

Everybody claimin’ truth like they know what you need.

But the louder they shout, man, the less that I trust,

’Cause the shine on the surface hides the rust in the dust.

They say follow the light, but the bulb’s burnin’ fake,

So I’m cuttin’ through the fog just to watch the dawn break.

I’m awake, not “woke,” I don’t parrot their lines,

I decode every motive, read between every sign.

Don’t be woke, be awake, see the world with your eyes,

’Cause the “truths” that they’re sellin’ are the slickest disguise.

What they label as the lies might be wisdom in the skies,

Flip the script, break the frame, let your real mind rise.

Verse 2

They’ll tell you what to fear, who to love, what to hate,

Like your mind’s just a product they can mold and create.

But I’m breakin’ out the box, man, I’m crackin’ the code,

I don’t walk their paved path, I’m takin’ my own road.

Truth ain’t always what’s printed in the bold headline,

Sometimes it’s in the shadows where the real facts shine.

So I question every angle, every claim they make,

’Cause the world ain’t black-and-white — it’s a lens you reshape.

Don’t be woke, be awake, see the world with your eyes,

’Cause the “truths” that they’re sellin’ are the slickest disguise.
