[00:07.59]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[00:13.02]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[00:19.17]To understand the black man’s fight, you must first take a look at the black man’s plight
[00:24.63]To understand our state of mind, turn the pages of history and there you’ll find
[00:29.49]That this land of the free and home of the brave is where you brought us
[00:33.78]And made us your slave and freedom was a dream, that we took to our grave
[00:40.29]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[00:46.50]At some point you said we were free, but this has never been our reality
[00:51.30]In your sweet land of liberty, this applied to you but not to me, we’re still waiting, to be set free
[01:02.13]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[01:07.71]We salute your flag, but for us it’s a lie, we died for this country, somebody tell me why
[01:13.23]In this country of free and equality we’ve been treated like we we’ re the enemy
[01:18.84]It’s a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[01:24.12]What we’ve been enduring is hard to define we have a permanent scar in our hearts and mind
[01:29.73]But through it all we still stand tall and we refuse to give up and we refuse to fall
[01:36.30]It’s a wake-up call
[01:40.53]We never be silent we will remain outspoken we’re a symbol of endurance and we’ll never be broken
[01:46.14]Our ancestors died passing on the dream that one day we will be free as impossible as it seemed
[01:53.97]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[01:59.40]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[02:07.53]We’ve held on to our dreams when all seemed lost, freedom for us has been a very high cost
[02:13.59]Things has changed new laws have been passed, but in the race for equality we still come in last
[02:21.12]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[02:26.73]You have no clue what it’s like, having the color of my skin
[02:32.40]Because a journey into my world is a place you’ve never been
[02:37.83]If you we’re born white you are born free, you’ll never know what it’s like to be black like me
[02:48.51]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[02:51.30]This is a wake-up call America, this is a wake-up call
[02:59.34]This is a brand-new day, pay attention to what I say
[03:04.02]This is wake-up call, this is a wake-up call
