REDEMPTION (WAKE UP)

[Intro: Harvard Graduate Speech Sample]
"Education is no equalizer
Rather it is the sleep that proceeds the American dream, so wake up. Wake up
Lift your voices until you've patched every hole in a child's broken sky
Wake up every child so they know of their celestial potential
I've been the black hole in the classroom for far too long; absorbing everything without allowing my light to escape but those days are done
I belong among the stars, and so do you
And so do they."

[Verse 1]
Motherfuckers always know how to act when a king steps up onto the throne
But they never really know how to act when you are in need of a friendly loan
You tell em that you're crying everyday
But they always gon have something else to say
All you want is for darkness to stay away
And it feels like you will never be okay
Sometimes you wonder if it's worth it
If you always end up hurtin'
And you think you're unimportant
But you don't know how to put it
So it takes control of your life and it rolls the dice
In the infinite ways you could die
And you hope that one day things will go your way but
You shake it off and hope that nobody will say nun'
Your only wish is for a life with joy and great fun
But it never comes

[Verse 2]
Never looking, we cooking, and booking the hotel
When we fell into red like the god damn Del
Sell this shit, never quit, put us in like a disc
Forever in the game, but not a dollar to my name
But I'm going for fun, never grew up with guns
Or drugs, or murder, I'm on fire like Surtur
Pick up the slack, the attack, I crack like Winehouse
I could rip it up and eat it when I'm fucking your spouse
And you don't even gotta try cause you never even could
So get in your van and get the fuck out of my neighborhood
I'm the start of this war, so gear up for the fight
I been thinking how it feels to have my power and might
Take flight, laser sight, I'm a fright, so goodnight
Maybe it's wrong, but I'm feeling alright
Out of all this shit I never need to mention
That in the end all this really is my redemption

[Instrumental]

"Education is no equalizer
Rather it is the sleep that proceeds the American dream, so wake up. Wake up
Lift your voices until you've patched every hole in a child's broken sky
Wake up every child so they know of their celestial potential
I've been the black hole in the classroom for far too long; absorbing everything without allowing my light to escape but those days are done
I belong among the stars, and so do you
And so do they."
