Woke As Me

(álbum: The New Negroes (Season 1) - 2019)

[Open Mike Eagle:]
You say you woke, bro?
I say supposedly
You ain't nowhere near as woke as you supposed to be
Man, you telling jokes
Fool, you so asleep
Bruh, you might be woke, you just ain't as woke as me

He say woke, but he ain't woke enough
I'm dropping facts that make his third eye open up
He's still in mental jail
I see him tail-spinning
His woke frail
He can't even see his male privilege
Carbon footprint small
Man, I kinda doubt it
Real woke brothers live in tiny houses
I ain't never been sleep, it's excruciating
I been woke so long, I'm hallucinating
You say you woke
You just pretend to do it
I'm keeping all my pronouns gender-fluid
Yo' mind is not open
You pro'ly not voting
You throw away whole roaches
Homie, we composting
I bet you think it's rumors
Homie need a tutor
I'ma prove he's still sleep
He ain't deleted UBER
Had the crown I'ma take it from you
I wear hemp drawers and biodegradable shoes
I know the planet fucked up
And how it got that way
I only flush my toilet once every Goddamn day
I'm fucking woke

You say you woke, bro?
I say supposedly
You ain't nowhere near as woke as you supposed to be
Man, you telling jokes
Fool, you so asleep
Bruh, you might be woke, you just ain't as woke as me

[Phonte:]
Tryna beat me in a woke-off and get broke-off
No jokes, you don't want no smoke
With this woke Tom Brokaw
Your neighborhood vegan weed dealer
But I also sell books
I don't just rock the bells
I rock the bell hooks
In all lowercase
Say her name, show her face
I been body positive
Me and my hoes is overweight
Gentrifying all your hoods
Your taxes gotta be murder
Come through your cookout with kale and Impossible Burgers
Shout out to the White girls
If you tryna see me
I got a biracial son
Named him Ta-nehesi
One of my top ten hittas
In the barbershop
Fit right in with' us
Mom wanna know why he's so Pro-Black
What's more Pro-Black than a light-skinned nigga
Intersectional, been that
On your mark and let's get set
I been yelling out cishet
Since Harlem yelling out Dipset
Say this and I'm moving on
You thought toxic masculinity was a new cologne
Nigga, you was wrong
I'm the antidote
My life's so botanical
Green Party and I vote
And I quote, "Man, oh man, Goddamn, I'm woke"
