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
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
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!

Empire Cast Woke Comments
👏👏👏👏👍👍🇧🇷
They should have supported this song more it gave the show more seasons.
racist cast
Her voice gives chills😭😍
So woke you can fake hate crimes and get away with it
That intro tho.
Her vocals at the beginning are just beautifully mesmerizing 😍😍 She has a wonderful voice....
Love the vocals at the beginning!!
Seule une femme Noire peut te sortir des harmonies pareilles !!!
Lee Daniels is doing great work with this show.
this is worth earphones
Forgot how powerful empires lyrics were
her voice is pure soul !!!!
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...
I just realized it was one of the McClain sisters
I love this song message and i love Sierra and her voice wow beautiful
When she is in the studio interpreting this song she looks like an angel. I love when Andre looks at her hypnotized, in that moment I knew that something was going on between then. Currently this is my favorite song this season! xD. Besos desde España (Spain)! GO ANDREEEEEE !
Absolutely love this song!
She did that was so awesome. Very smooth beat.
This is really soulful almost made me cry because of the world right now is chaotic
Imagine what would happen if she gets pregnant with Andre
yo, i thought about this too
Jamal Looks so smooth man!!!! ❤❤❤
i can think of choreographic dance to go with this song...LOVE IT!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
SNOW THA PRODUCT IN EMPIRE PLEASE
Who remembers her sister?
Quand André flash sur elle ! 🔥👀😍

This about her brother that Andre was talking about "stones" that died
I want Andre and her to be together. He needs to get a taste of that chocolate :). But he needs to get over Rhonda and not just use Sierra as a rebound.
True. .. but did you see the way he licked her? I was like whoaa😲
Lol yeah.I'd have no problem letting him lick me aaaaaanyday
Haha ikr. Damn Andre being all GRR like this is hot asf, he's grown and sexy. No way you would choose Hakeem over that hahha.
This is my favorite show I love this show
I love that song
Love her. Love Empire😍😍 the reference to the current situations, sending a message to everyone not just Black African-American people✊✊ They are such a inspiration to the nation. Letting a colossal show to take a stand👏👏 Can't wait to see the rest of the music in store💓💓💓

I feel sorry for Andre his wife died, his child died he never had empire
Andre really don't have any chance in his life, he is doomed
Shit. Y'all Thought. He going Hard for his Empire.
Andre is gonna show everyone who the real lion is.
Please. Sing this for Andre.
I love her character. I feel like she was supposed to be like a Janelle Monae.
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.
Yeah. I need get to do a Song with V Bozeman
Lol.....its kinda like you predicted she & V Bozeman would sing together and i must say its #FIRE
I love that you said this the song they got together is fire
I don't understand that 1 dislike
too bad its got to five
Freaking love this song !! after all these years we are still a target smh
kill it
Nice song
