the collective band - awake (ft under the covers) lyrics
[intro] [chantelle]
awake
[verse 1] [aj]
i’ve got no more time for the papers it’s straight up
we only get one life time to wake up
i just wanna live, peace is the aim bruv
but life’s a test we all bleed one day bruv
we’re all breathing the same stuff
feeling the same love
still not the same trust
there ain’t much i could learn from a broken nose
i was raised by drugs and a broken home
they tried to say i was f+cked at school
on a weekday smoked my weed
dad hid stash from the police raid
not gas just facts and i learn from the mistakes
miss takes the p+ss but i laugh at the actress
these days i’m doing fine making tunes and living life
not blazing zoots still feeling high
high on life despite the lies fam i know love
slept for 20 years but i woke up, awake
[chorus] [chantelle]
no sense of self live for power and greed it’s all lies
freedom and peace is our passion no fear in our eyes
governed enslaved in a system that’s stealing our lives
knowledge is power when we connect our minds
[verse] [gwiva}
i see truth for what it is from the minute i wake
and since i been in a prison livin isn’t the same
admitting it isn’t indifference the beginning of change
what you spit on the riddim in the illiterate stage
i don’t follow their agenda or political aims
i just look into the mirror till the image is faint
i can only judge myself if i’m willing to change
and thinking it isn’t necessary is the biggest mistake
this isn’t a reality iv made up
different skin but humanities the same blood
with this anarchy brutality has changed us
and you wonder why insanity enslaved us
but i believe resonating the same love
demonstrates human nature in faith bruv
you want ratings but wait you should wake up
f+ck a famous status on facebook
[chorus] [chantelle]
no sense of self live for power and greed it’s all lies
freedom and peace is our passion no fear in our eyes
governed enslaved in a system that’s stealing our lives
knowledge is power when we connect our minds
