[** feat. Common, Melanie Fiona:]
2
Wake up everybody*
3
No more sleepin' in bed
4
No more backward thinkin'
5
Time for thinkin' ahead
6
The world has changed
7
So very much
8
From what it used to be
9
There is so much hatred
10
War and poverty, whoa, oh
11
Wake up, all the teachers
12
Time to teach a new way
13
Maybe then they'll listen
14
To what'cha have to say
15
'Cause they're the ones who's coming up
16
And the world is in their hands
17
When you teach the children
18
Teach 'em the very best you can
19
The world won't get no better
20
If we just let it be, na, na, na
21
The world won't get no better
22
We gotta change it, yeah
23
Just you and me
24
Wake up, all the doctors
25
Make the old people well
26
They're the ones who suffer
27
And who catch all the hell
28
But they don't have so very long
29
Before the Judgment Day
30
So wont'cha make them happy
31
Before they pass away
32
Wake up, all the builders
33
Time to build a new land
34
I know we can do it
35
If we all lend a hand
36
The only thing we have to do
37
Is put it in our mind
38
Surely things will work out
39
They do it every time
40
The world won't get no better
41
If we just let it be, na, na, na
42
The world won't get no better
43
We gotta change it, yeah
44
Just you and me
45
It's the God hour, the morning I wake up
46
Just for the breath of life I thank my maker
47
My mom say I come from hustlers and shakers
48
My mind builded on skyscrapers and acres
49
He said take us back to where we belong
50
I try to write a song as sweet as the Psalms
51
Though I am the type to bear arms and wear my heart on my sleeve
52
Even when I fell in God I believe
53
We the days at
54
Weave through the maze and the season so amazing
55
Feed them and raise them
56
Seasons are asian
57
Earthquakes, wars and rumors
58
I want us to get by but we more then consumers
59
We more than shooters
60
More than looters,
61
Created in his image,
62
So God live through us,
63
And even in his generation living through computers
64
On love, love, love can reboot us
65
Wake up, everybody
66
Wake up, everybody
67
Need a little help, y'all
68
Yes I do, need a little help
69
Need a little help, y'all ay
70
Wake up everybody
71
Wake up everybody
72
Wake up everybody
