about

"Wake Up," the latest single from Internal Rhyme and producer Digital Crates, is an urgent call to action. Ranging from issues of White Supremacy, to cultural appropriation, to drug addiction, IR is crying out for help. With the turn of a new decade, we all hoped to live out our wildest dreams this year. But in many ways, 2020 feels like a nightmare - between an international pandemic, the ongoing drama in politics, and the tragic loss of so many loved lives - and it's time we all awaken.

lyrics

2020 came right 'round the corner
No new president in sight
Can’t be sure who holds throne but
I would bet it that he’s White
If I had to take a guess with me
I’d assume that he’s a man of Christ
Probably he ain’t in jeapordy
Will of fornute like it’s Vannah White
By now we know the likely outcome
Kids of color thinking how come
They don’t treat me like I’m Malcolm
'less I ball or sell or rap an album
Man how dumb, we don’t cherish what we take from
Turn it to a profit, make fun
Split the pie and leave the plate crumbs
Don’t you hate them?

Man wake up
All you gotta do is wake up
All you gotta do is wake, uh
All you gotta do is stay up
All you gotta do is stay, uh
Don’t forget 'bout where you came from
Don’t forget 'bout where you came, uh
Don’t forget you gotta wake up
Don't forget you gotta wake up
All you gotta do is wake up
All you gotta do is wake, uh
All you gotta do is stay up
All you gotta do is stay, uh
Don’t forget 'bout where you came from
Don’t forget 'bout where you came, uh
Don’t forget you gotta wake up
Don't forget you gotta wake

Don’t forget you gotta cape
Don’t forget you can escape
Without a xanny bar to put you into space
Don’t forget that you're amazing
Don’t forget me when you break
Don’t forget that I been waiting
For this moment every day
Don’t forget I got a mother sick
I ain’t rapping for the fuck of it
I be tryna care about the government
But my mind zoning on some other shit
That’s why the people don’t vote
Docs don’t heal, they deal the dope
To keep you sleeping with the nightmares
It’s right there but we ain’t woke
It's right there but we ain't

Man wake up
All you gotta do is wake up
All you gotta do is wake, uh
All you gotta do is stay up
All you gotta do is stay, uh
Don’t forget 'bout where you came from
Don’t forget 'bout where you came, uh
Don’t forget you gotta wake up
Don't forget you gotta wake up
All you gotta do is wake up
All you gotta do is wake, uh
All you gotta do is stay up
All you gotta do is stay, uh
Don’t forget 'bout where you came from
Don’t forget 'bout where you came, uh
Don’t forget you gotta wake up
Don't forget you gotta wake, uh
