Yo sleepyhead at
Yo, yo, yo bedhead at
You been sleep all morning
You sleepier than a motherfuck, nigga
Sing you a lullaby

You say you woke, bro? I say supposedly
You ain't nowhere near as woke as you supposed to be
Man, you telling jokes, fool, you so asleep
Bruh, you might be woke, you just ain't as woke as me

He say woke, but he ain't woke enough
I'm droppin' facts that make his third eye open up
He's still in mental jail, I see him tail-spinnin'
His woke frail, he can't even see his male privilege
Carbon footprint small? Man, I kinda doubt it
Real woke brothers live in tiny houses
I ain't never been sleep, it's excruciatin'
I been woke so long, I'm hallucinatin'
You say you woke, you just pretend to do it
I'm keeping all my pronouns gender-fluid
Yo' mind is not open, you pro'ly not votin'
You throw away whole roaches, homie, we compostin'
I bet you think it's rumors, homie need a tutor
I'ma prove he's still sleep: he ain't deleted UBER
Had the crown? I'ma take it from you
I wear hemp drawers and biodegradable shoes
I know the planet fucked up and how it got that way
I only flush my toilet once every goddamn day
I'm fuckin' woke!

You say you woke, bro? I say supposedly
You ain't nowhere near as woke as you supposed to be
Man, you telling jokes, fool, you so asleep
Bruh, you might be woke, you just ain't as woke as me

Tryna beat me in a woke-off and get broke-off
No jokes, you don't want no smoke with this woke Tom Brokaw
Your neighborhood vegan weed dealer but I also sell books
I don't just rock the bells, I rock the bell hooks
In all lowercase, say her name, show her face
I been body positive, me and my hoes is overweight
Gentrifyin' all your hoods, your taxes gotta be murder
Come through your cookout with kale and Impossible Burgers
Shout out to the white girls if you tryna see me
I got a biracial son, named him Ta-Nehisi!
One of my top ten hittas in the barbershop
Fit right in wit' us, Mom wanna know why he's so Pro-Black
What's more Pro-Black than a light-skinned nigga?
Intersectional, been that, on your mark and let's get set
I been yellin' out "cishet" since Harlem yellin' out "Dipset"
Say this and I'm movin' on
You thought toxic masculinity was a new cologne
Nigga, you was wrong!
I'm the antidote, my life's so botanical
Green Party and I vote
And I quote, "Man, oh man, goddamn, I'm woke"
