3
Yo, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
4

5

6
Wake up!
7
Are we awake, are we wake, are we wake
8
Take it low, low low low low
9
Take it low take it low, take it low
10
Yo!
11
I said yo, I said yo, I said yo
12
Yeah
13
Kardinal is walkin' (yo) just how we be talking (Yo)
14
Fakes get they face palmed, and thrown to the floor
15
Shout out to the ghetto, girl's in they stilettos
16
With their tongue rings, doing tricks, sippn' on Ameretto
17
Fire pon a fosse-man a bad man truss me
18
Not a homophobic, just a man who loves pssss
19
Come here let me see you, and throw a little game
20
You can either fall in love with the hood or with the name
21
Explicit lyriciasm (yo) nuff narcissism
22
Is invading hip-hop, replacing escapism
23
My vision is an ism (yo) smoke it till you're high
24
Unattainable goals blank to your third eye (yo)
25
Maneuvering high skies to low tone flows
26
Straight to the five mic sight is where the flow goes
27
Killing 'em with knowledge - the mind is the key
28
Just sign on the dotted line and check who you be
29
[CHORUS: Jully Black (Kardinal)]
30
You (you), me (me), powerful (so powerful)
31
We're fighting for this goal and we ain't gonna stop
32
(We ain't never gonna stop y'all)
33
I said you {you}, me (me), is wonderful {so wonderful)
34
We'll be makin' babies til our army's on top
35
('Til we standing on the top y'all)
36
[Kardinal Offishall]
37
The funk is in the air (yo) you might suffocate
38
If you don't strap on your mack on and watch I articulate
39
We don't shake hands with cops (yo) we don't participate
40
Light up an informer and make his mouth menstrate (yo)
41
Black is for Black, they can't understand that
42
So they call it "reverse racism" and try to pin it back (yo)
43
But if we ain't for us, who for us? them? - nah!
44
If it was up to them they would have us ridin' in the back of the bus
45
In handcuffs and other shackles (yo) check Mr. Bush
46
Plant cocaine on me and call it operation push
47
Our Prime Minister is actually second in command
48
Bending over to the star spangled-politically strangled
49
So we have to move (yo) through the underground
50
Encode the funk mode and claim back the sound (yo)
51
'Cause what's mine is gonna stay mine, word to line for line
52
Off the top and all that
53
Peace to magnificent rap
54
[CHORUS]
55
[Tara Chase]
56
Look out
57
Cameras are watching you, they watching you from birth
58
And they be killing us softly by biologically attacking us first
59
Don't think that you're immune
60
'Cause your acquired system is soon to be consumed
61
Flesh eating disorder, false claims of water
62
I rip through the lies so I can bare sons and daughters, and soldiers
63
Build my camp up like an army over Giza, running suicide missions
64
You can't disarm me
65
[CHORUS: no Kardinal]
66
[Jully Black ad-libs]
67
[Jully Black]
68
Making babies 'til our army's on top
69
yeah, yeah
70
Oh yeah
71
[Kardinal Offishall]
72
Wake up!
73
Take it low, low low low low low
74
[OUTRO: Kardinal Offishall]
75
Dear Lord,
76
I really, I don't even know how to ax this
77
You know, I can't, this this this is not an act
78
I must, from the bottom of my heart, ask forgiveness for my sins
79
But you know what
80
I ask that you give me the strength to be able to reach
81
all of those peoples, on every street corner, every block, every ghetto
82
All of those people, that we sometimes think are not worthy of blessings,
83
they're worthy to me
84
And I think that as a man given the blessings you have given me
85
The opportunity to speak, that I need to speak the language
86
of those people, and I need to reach them
87
You know, beacuse there's are a lot of good people on this Earth,
88
but there still some people that need a talking to
89
And I ask you to give me the strength to reach out to those people
90
You know because I believe everybody is worthy of your blessings
91
So I ask that you give, you give me, my family, my crew, F.O.S, the circle
92
All of us, all the babies that are being born
93
You give us the strength to be able to deal with it how you see fit
94
Beacuse you give all of us the power, as much as some people might not believe it
95
You give us the strength to reach out and touch a lot people
96
So Lord I ask you give me the strength to go out in the world and start the fire
97
You know, start your fire, you understand I'm saying
98
Lord, just please be with me, be with me
99
and give me the strength and let me do this
100
Come to you as humble man, Kardinal Offishall
