IIt doesn’t matter you got all that you need,
It doesn’t matter you take everything you see,

Just to try to fill the space,

I wish it mattered all the words that I say,
It doesn’t matter she’s got all that she makes,
Are you looking forward to the lonely hours ahead,
Cause you don’t have me,

Will it matter when you’re on your own,
Will it matter when you’re all alone,
Will it matter when you stop and smell the breeze,
And you don’t have me,

Why, do you close your eyes so tight,
When you’re kissing him goodnight,
Do you make believe a face,
Just to try to fill the space,

Wake up,

Wake the fuck up!

Each day, more frightening
All of us wanna die
The pressure’s tightening
I don’t even want to try

Should I take all the stupid bullshit
What makes them think they can get away with it?
Im not happy
I wish they just…

Wake the fuck up!

I can take no more
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers
Each one I would die for
Please just let it go
All the heads are blown
Let’s just take the stage
And remember why we play for

No more fighting!
I swear I’m gonna leave
Talking shit to spite me
I wish they just..

Wake the fuck up!

I can take no more
What are we fighting for?
You are my brothers
Each one I would die for
Please just let it go
All the heads are blown
Let’s just take the stage
And remember why we play for

Remember why we play for

Although ya try to iscredit
Ya still never edit
The needle, I’ll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin’ with the fury that they had in ’66
And like E-Double, I’m mad
Still knee-deep in the system’s shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I’ll give ya a dose
But it’ll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When theirheads are flown
‘Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Department of police, the judge, the feds
Networks at work, keepin’ people calm

You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Wit’ poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin’ dat fitnesse
Whadda I have to do to wake you up
To shake you up, to break the structure up
‘Cause this blood still floods in the gutter
I’m like talkin’ photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then I stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the facists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end

Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors

The networks at work, keepin’ people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

What was the price on his head

You like snow but only if it’s warm
You like rain but only if it’s dry
No sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor
No fundamental excuse for the granted I’m taken for
Cause it’s easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
You like pain but only if it doesn’t hurt too much
You sit…and you wait…to receive
There’s an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in you life
There’s an obvious aversion no amount of my insistence
could make you try tonight
Cause it’s easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you to you to you to you to you…
There’s no love no money no thrill anymore
There’s an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
There’s an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand
But it’s easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you
get up get up get up off of it
get up get up get up off of it
get out get outta here enough already
get up get up get up off of it
wake up

Wake the world, wake the world, we got a long, long way to go
Wake the world, wake the world, and let the fire in your heart, melt the snow
Open your mind and you will love again
Look with your eyes and make it show
Wake the world, wake the world, we got a long, long way to go

My name is Richie Ranking and my mike can see
…
Jamaican … my original…
The best thing for me is to be free
Watch what they say and watch out their beat
Take a good look at all the possibility
Open your eyes and then you can see
That love is an answer for everybody
Now this is a message for … your mind
Open up your mind and try and understand
This is message for each and everyone
You must have a… you must have a…
That’s all the way I got…
The… is clean and the mind is…
So jump around and put off your…
Come on everybody let me sing the song

The future belongs to the…
Find the rhythm and pumping system
The future belongs to the
… no problem
They tell
I find

Dance
They live
Dance

Open

Open up your heart and let lover ring

One by one the stars appear
The light of the day is no longer here

One by one the stars disappear
The sky grows brighter every minute of the sunrise

Wake the world with a brand new morning
Say hello to another fine morning
Got my face in the running water

Making my life so much brighter
Moon shines bright, asleep in my bed
Like so many people got a big day ahead of me

Wake the world with a brand new morning
Say hello to another fine morning
Wouldn’t miss it for all of its glory
I’ll be there when you’re calling me

One by one the stars appear
The light of the day is no longer here

Jitterbug
Jitterbug
Jitterbug.
You put the boom boom into my heart

You send my soul sky high
when your loving starts.
Jitterbug into my brain goes a’ bang bang bang till my feet do the same.
If something’s bugging you
if something ain’t right

My best friend told me what you did last night.
Left me sheeting in my bed I was dreaming

But I should have been with you instead.

Wake me up before you go-go
don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo.
Wake me up before you go-go
I don’t wanna miss it when you hit that high.
Wake me up before you go-go
cause I’m not planning on going solo.
Wake me up before you go-go
take me dancing tonight.
I wanna hit that high
yeah
yeah.

You put the grey skies outta my way

You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day.
You turn a bright spark into a flame

My beats per minute never been the same

‘Cause you’re my lady
I’m your fool
it makes me crazy

When you act so cruel.
Come on baby
lets not fight
we’ll go dancing
everything will be alright.

Wake me up before
You go-go
don’t leave me
Hanging on like a yo-yo. . .
Cuddle up baby
Move in tight
well go
Dancing tomorrow night
It’s cold out there
But ‘it’s warm in bed
They can dance
We’ll stay home instead
Wake me up before
You go-go
don’t leave me
Hanging on like a yo-yo. . .
Wake me up before
You go-go
don’t leave me

Hanging on like a yo-yo. .

I was scared to death
Afraid to close my eyes
And find that I was gone
Like every other one
Who left before the dawn
I vanished in the air
Am I still there
Wake me gently
If you can
Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
‘Cuz where I’m at
Is where I want to leave
And in my sleep
I look so lifeless on this bed
Laid out on satin sheets
This dream’s a novel
That I don’t dare complete
No happy ending read
I think the hero’s dead
Wake me gently
If you can
Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
‘Cuz where I’m at
Is where I want to leave
Me to my slumber
And I’ll never come home
Please help me, I’m frightened
Of what’s going on
What’s going on
And if I can’t wake up
Will I be all alone
A stranded orphan here
Or will I bump into
Some other wandering soul
And will they talk to me
Somebody, somebody please rescue me
Wake me gently
If you can
Wake me gently
Just touch my hand
Wake me gently
Pull my sleeve
‘Cuz where I’m at
Is where I want to leave
I wanna leave
I wanna leave
I wanna wake up
I wanna leave
I don’t wanna stay
I wanna leave
I wanna go
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Just wake me up
I wanna go home
Wake me up please
‘Cuz I wanna go home
I wanna go home
Wake me
Wake me

come on baby leave some change behind
she was a bitch but I don’t care
she brought our food out on time
and wore a funky barrette in her hair
come on baby leave some change behind
she was a bitch but good enough
to leave some change everybody’s good
enough for some change
the girl’s got family
she needs cash to buy aspirin for
her pain everybody’s good enough
for some change
we all get the flu we all get aids
we’ve got to stick together
after all, everybody’s good enough
for some change, SOME FUCKING CHANGE!!!
