Wake up!

 [Intro]

Come on
Ugh
Come on

[Verse 1]
Although ya try to discredit, ya still never read it
The needle, I'll thread it, radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double "I'm Mad", still knee deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give you a dose but it can never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy
Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease when their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, (What!) the judges (What!), the feds
Networks at work, keeping people calm
You know they went after King when he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

[Interlude 1]
Yeah
Yeah, back in this
[Verse 2]
With poetry my mind I flex
"Flip" like Wilson, vocals never lackin' that finesse
What do I got to, what do I got to do to wake you up?
To shake you up, to break the structure up?
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like taking photos, mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove, then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the "Stutter Step" then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yeah, several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream and put it to an end
You better beware the retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X and tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head!?
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot
[Interlude 2]
Black Nationalism
[He] may be a brave contender for this position
But should he abandon his supposed 'obedience'
To the 'White liberal doctrine' of non-violence
And embrace Black Nationalism
Through counter-intelligence, it should be possible
To pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them
Through counter-intelligence, it should be possible
To pinpoint potential troublemakers and neutralize them
And neutralize them, and neutralize them
And neutralize them, and neutralize them
And neutralize them

[Chorus]
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!

[Instrumental Break/Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
How long? Not long
'Cause what you reap is what you sow

erklär mir das lied kashmir von led zeppelin

"Kashmir" ist ein Song der englischen Rockband Led Zeppelin und erschien 1975 auf ihrem Album Physical Graffiti. Es ist einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Songs der Band und gilt als einer der besten Rocksongs aller Zeiten. Der Song ist musikalisch eine Mischung aus Hard Rock, Progressive Rock und orientalischen Einflüssen. Das markante Riff, das von Jimmy Page gespielt wird, ist eine Mischung aus einem Dreivierteltakt und einem Viervierteltakt. Dieser Rhythmus verleiht dem Song eine treibende und hypnotische Wirkung. Der Text des Songs wurde von Robert Plant geschrieben und handelt von einer Reise durch eine fremde und exotische Landschaft. Plant beschreibt eine Wüstenlandschaft mit brennender Sonne, stürmischen Winden und mystischen Klängen. Er drückt seine Sehnsucht nach Frieden und Harmonie in dieser Landschaft aus. Der Song ist in drei Teile gegliedert: Teil 1 (0: 00-4: 17): Das Intro mit dem markanten Riff und dem Gesang von Plant, der von einer Wüstenl...

  [Chorus] Just breathe [Verse 1] Feel the pressure from my head Eyes of green, the darkness fed Cover me in time, every moment that I breathe Is a lie, a lie, a lie [Chorus] Just breathe Just breathe Just breathe [Verse 2] Control is such a lie (See illusion, see illusion) There is only now, consequence is found (Kill illusion, kill illusion) It's all in your mind Silhouettes of thoughts gone by Lucid emptiness, I dream, alive [Chorus] Just breathe Just breathe Just breathe Just breathe You might also like Pull The Trigger Brass Against Wake Up!
