Master Teacher

(album: New Amerykah Part One (4th World War) - 2008)

(Dreams, dreams, dreams)

I have longed to stay awake
(A beautiful world I'm trying to find)
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
(A beautiful world, I'm trying to find)
I've been in search of myself
(A beautiful world) a beautiful world
It's just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams)
Said it's just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams)
I am in the search of something new
(A beautiful world I'm trying to find)
Searching me
Searching inside of you
And that's for real

What if it were no niggas
Only master teachers?
I stay woke (dreams dreams)
What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers?
I stay woke (dreams dreams)
What if it was no niggas only master teachers now?
I stay woke (dreams dreams)
(What if there was no niggas only master teachers now?)
I stay woke (dreams dreams)

Even if yo baby ain't got no money
To support ya baby, you
(I stay woke)
Even when the preacher tell you some lies
And cheating on ya mama, you stay woke
(I stay woke)
Even though you go through struggle and strife
To keep a healthy life, I stay woke
(I stay woke)
Everybody knows a black or a white there's creatures in every shape and size

Everybody
(I stay woke)
Everybody, stay
(I stay woke)
Get everybody
(I stay woke)
Everybody body baby
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) (dreams, dreams)
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) (dreams, dreams)
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) I'm trying to find
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) I'm trying to find
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world) I'm trying to find

I have lone to stay awake
A beautiful world I'm trying to find
(A beautiful world I'm trying to find)
See, I am in search of myself
(A beautiful world, I'm trying to find)
Ooh it's just too hard for me to find
(A beautiful world, a beautiful world)
Said it just too hard for me to find
(Dreams, dreams, dreams)
'Cause I'm in the search of something new
(A beautiful world I'm trying to find)
Search inside me
Searching inside you
And that's the trill

What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers?
(I stay woke)
What if there was no niggas
Only master teacher?
(I stay woke)
What if there was no niggas
Only master teachers now?
(I stay woke)
What if there was no niggas
Only master teacher?
(I stay woke)
No, what if there was no niggas
Only master teachers?

What if there was niggas
Only master teachers now

Teach us, teach us teach us

What if there was niggas only master teachers now

I stay woke

I stay woke
Mm, hey
I stay woke

1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4

Baby sleepy time
To put her down now
I'll be standing 'round
'Til the sun down

I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke

Congregation nod they head
And say amen
The deacon fell asleep again and

I stay woke
But I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke

Lovers holding hands
And falling deep in love
And sleeping and
Passing conversation

Ooh, I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke

Pretty rings and pretty thieves
With shiny lights and little
Pieces of tomorrow

I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke
I stay woke

Oh ah, oh ah
I stay woke
Oh ah, oh ah
I stay woke
Oh ah, oh ah
I stay
Oh ah, oh ah
Oh I stay
Oh ah, oh ah
Oh ah, oh ah

Baby sleepy time
To put her down and
I'll be standin 'round
Until sun down, hey

Oh ah, oh ah
Oh ah, oh ah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
