Wu-Tang Clan - A Better Tomorrow

Wake up wake up
Wake up
Wake up get a hold of your life
go get your cake up
The motto in the streets is you eat
or you get ate up
Straight up you tired of waiting
go get your weight up
My peoples tired of waiting for
reparations to pay us
Screaming Jesus can save us
I I get the Bentley if I save up
But that's just another
trick to enslave us
Push the minimum wages
Put put our fathers up in them cages
Then watch out when mother
struggled to raise us
But but my ambition won't
let me live in this poor condition
That doesn't care about color
creed or your religion
Priests politicians
gotta listen to opposition
From my position
we still ain't got a pot to piss in
From my position
we still ain't got a pot to piss in
Allah said to save the babies
from the cold
Pour wisdom in the cup
so the truth overflows
Still knowledge is that bread
that keeps us well-fed
Old time religion
will not bring us satisfaction
Without action
now who can disagree with me
God is not a mystery
there's nowhere in history
That you could show and prove to me
But still you face east
and nod your head to me religiously
I'm G O D to infinity for real
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah
just you and me
Poor reparations
the Bush administration
Unequality martial law segregation
False hood false teaching
false education
Now's the time for us to
come amongst this nation
They deceiving us
they don't believe in us
They believe in that Cream
like Julius Caesar
I'm like Marcus Garvey
Malcolm X with the heaters
Ripping the chains of the
remains of all of the leaders
Never worship the image
of evil swine eaters
I'm on the back of the bus
with two fine divas
We in the jungle of life
but never jungle fever
I'm God-body all day long
spiritual life lessons
That I recite in this song
Trying to wake up everybody
can't we all get along
For all my people that's out there
persevering through the storm
Black fist Staten Island
stand up stand strong
Penetrate through the gate
and bring the Clan along
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah
just you and me
Wake up and realise the times
That we living in the world is
getting more iller than ever
Thought we was chillin'
striving change for the better
But it was a dream like Martin Luther
He had a vision that
could move a mountain
Protect one another
that's world to my brother Malcolm
As-salamu alaykum
alaykum as-salam
We want justice
police supposed to
protect and serve
And then they shoot us
down like wild animals
The nerve of them
cold-hearted killers
With blue suits slaying
our black youth
The earth cries from all the blood
that's being spilled
We need a solution fast
get InshAllah bill
Let me educate them
translate it meaning God's will
It goes all in together
together how we are
To stand with a plan
provided we down to fall
And that's the Willie Lynch tactics
that separated the masses
Taught us all to think backwards
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it yeah
just you and me
We gonna change the world
We gonna change the world
We gonna change the world
