Empire Cast - Woke Lyrics






I feel like I'm walking on my people
Cause white pavements keep turning brown
Mistreated with no explanation
Still not enough to hold us down
It feels like 1960
When Dr. King fought for our lives
Bruised and abused but we refuse to lose again
Open eyes, we will rise, we gone fight
We won't die, we're alive, because we're

Woke, woke
Ain't goin nowhere we're standing here
Woke, woke
No more crying, no more blood and tears
Woke, woke
We're built on strength, we've buried all our fears
We all see what's going on, no need to ring the alarm, cause we're
Woke

My hands up now, please don't shoot me
That's the last thing I heard him say
His birthday was on next Tuesday
But he won't live to see another day
Oh, that's my brother, yeah I miss him
Another body, another victim
All because of this crooked system
They took him, they cooked him
This time bruised and abused but we refuse to lose again
Open eyes, we will rise, we gone fight
We won't die, we're alive, because we're

Woke, woke
Ain't goin nowhere we're standing here
Woke, woke
No more crying, no more blood and tears
Woke, woke
We're built on strength, we've buried all our fears
We all see what's going on, no need to ring the alarm, cause we're
Woke

We gon' fight
Everything gon' be alright
We're aware, don't you see us standing here?
(Don't you see us?)
We're much stronger than you think
We gon' swim now, we won't sink
It's gonna take a million people
To try to hold us back from freedom
What about all the mothers
That are losing all their sons
What about all the daughters
That are losing all their fathers
Too much blood in the street
Won't you stop killing my people
Never going back to sleep
Cause we're all fighting for the peace
Because we're
Woke!

    Who else is waiting for Andre to take revenge on Anika in season 3b after what Rhonda told him? I know I do and I want Nessa to help him

    �.... �....

    I still think anika wasnt the one who pushed rhonda down the stairs. I think it was someone else because if it wasnt then how can anika go around acting like she didnt kill someone's unborn child.

    �.... �....

    vdw842003 Maybe you are right!! First of all nothing is impossible in this show!! As for Anika she might be the type of woman who gets what she wants, but I don't think that she would kill for what she wants...

    Please. Sing this for Andre.

    I love her character. I feel like she was supposed to be like a Janelle Monae.

    R.... R....

    I get the same feeling about her character.
    She's going to be this sorta like, indieish R&B/Pop/Rock genre fuck artist. At least, i hope for it. She can pull it off.
    I also think an "Alicia Keys" direction would work too.

    R.... R....
