Have you become numb to the fact that everyday innocent black lives are being lost
Or are you ready to pay the cost
Everyday a black person has died
While the people responsible and media have lied
when will you wake up?
We watch people get killed
Showing it on media
While the graveyards are being filled
Are you waiting for something greater
When will you wake up
We've started protests
Telling people the truth
We are the ones who resists
Against the people showing abuse
When will you wake up
Open your eyes
And see what you have done
Stop telling yourself lies
And next time watch where you point that gun
When will you wake up

When will you wake up
