Wake Up (Reprise in the Sunshine)

Peace to the God

Peace Allah

Aiyyo there go that brother Grand Puba

I heard that brother got knowledge of self

Yo true indeed brother

Yo let's have that brother come over and add on to the cipher

"Sunshine! .. Everybody loves the sunshine!"

"Folks get down in the sunshine!"

"Everybody loves the sunshine!"

"My life, my life, my life, MY LIFE"

[Grand Puba Maxwell]

Aiyyo knowledge this

The attribute Haji helper to another God

in need He Allah God Islam

As I proceed to civilize the uncivilized

Word of wisdom to the groove from the wise (speak on it God)

I guess I'm like the Verbalizer for the fact I'm movin Blackwards

This asiatic black man is a dog spelled backwards

The maker, the owner, the cream of the planet Earth

Father of civilization, God of the universe

Manifestin thought with my infinite styles

Making sure this travels, twenty-three million miles

The other six I set the crucifix

Because the heart of the problem is this.. (speak on it God)

Preacher got my Old Earth puttin money in the pan

For the rest of the week now I'm eatin out a soup can

He has a home, drives his Caddy through town

Has my old earth believin that he's comin from the ground (Jesus)

Slain are those who fought for what was right

Slayed are those who fell victim to the bite

A drug controlled substance, contained in a vial

Set up by the devil as he looks and he smiles

Good at the game of tricknology

But I have knowledge of myself you're not foolin me

You see, the answer to me is black unity

Unification, to help our bad situation

I wrote this on a day of wisdom power

All bein born to myself (God!)

I won't diss the next brother to be paid that's not my trade

It's just the plan that is designed by the colored man

Now our babies are born to think this is the way of us (way of us)

That's the way the devil wants it so it is no fuss (it is no fuss)

It's just that sad old song self-destruction

To stop our reproduction

There put our wisdom before us (murderrahh!)

That makes it wisdom knowledge (murderrahh!)

But we need knowledge wisdom

to bring forth the understanding (murderrahh!)

Culture freedom (murderrahh!)

Power refinement (murderrahh!)

Equality God Build Destroy Born's Our Cipher (mudererrahh!)

(Can a devil fool a Muslim?) No, not nowadays bro

(Do you mean to say the devil fooled us 400 years ago?)

Whitey put self, portrayed in many interpretations

Sayin that we'd receive more gold for our labor in his nation

(Did we receive more gold?) God, Now Cypher

It's time to drop the bomb and make the devil pay the piper

(True indeed God true indeed God) What? *3X*

(True indeed God true indeed..)

"Sunshine! .. " Wake up, wake up, wake up!

"Everybody loves the sunshine! .. " Wake up, wake up, wake up!

"Folks get down in the sunshine! .." Wake up, wake up, wake up!

"Everybody loves the sunshine!"

"My life, my life, my life, MY LIFE"

The solution -- knowledge of self to better ourself

Cause I know myself, that we can live much better than this

Nothing's changed, it's just another sequel

The devil's still causin trouble amongst the righteous people

Drugs in our community (That ain't right)

Can't even get a job (That ain't right)

Poisonin our babies (That ain't right)

Lyin who is God (That ain't right)

Well here's some food for thought, many fought for the sport

And the black man still comes up short?

It's time to motiviate, build and elevate

Blind deaf and dumb we've gotta change their mindstate

So I dip dip diver, civilize a 85er

Gotta let him know the devil's a conniver

This is the plan from the brotherman

From the motherland now it's time to take a stand

I keep strivin to do my duty to awake em

To the universal family I say asalaam alaikum

Yeah..

Now I'ma do like this

Nuff respects to the Brother Jazzy Jay, nuff respect

Nuff respects, to my Brand Nubian brothers

Bust it

Lord Jamar, God Allah

Derek X is on the flex

Alamo is good to go

Sincere, the God is in here

So move on black man, move on

We gotta move on black man, move on

Move on black man, move on

We gotta move on black man, move on

Now before I motivate I'ma just say like this

Please.. educate Allah's children, with equality

Move on black man, move on

You gotta move on black man, move on *2X*
