WAKE UP AND SURVIVE

[Intro - Spoken] This is for the mothers, the farmers, the children, the elders. Open your eyes. Guard your table. Guard your future. We’re still here. We’re still normal. We’re still human. [Verse 1] Look at the headlines, look at the plate What’s in the food, and who controls the gate? Fields getting bought, seeds getting changed Farmers in debt while the profits exchange Pills for profit, not always for cure If you don’t read the label, you won’t be sure Wars on the news, borders in flame While villages carry the heaviest pain [Pre-Chorus] They say “trust the system,” but who’s watching who? If no one’s asking questions, who’s looking out for you? Wake up, world, before it’s too late Read what you eat, don’t leave it to fate Ask what you take, protect your name Guard your land, don’t play their game Wake up, people, stand and survive We are the ones who must stay alive Hands in the soil, truth in the light If we don’t speak now, who will fight?[Chorus] [Verse 2] Africa rising, rich in the ground But the wealth keeps leaving town to town Hospitals crowded, medicines high While life expectancy asks us why New tech is fast, but power needs checks Who owns your data? Who writes the specs? Brain, body, soul — they’re not for sale If we stay silent, the weak ones fail This is a song for survival For every village, every child Plant your food, know your rights Read, learn, and stay upright No fear, no poison, no hidden hand We protect our people, we protect our land[Bridge] Wake up, world, before it’s too late Read what you eat, don’t leave it to fate Ask what you take, protect your name Guard your land, don’t play their game Wake up, people, stand and survive We are the ones who must stay alive[Chorus] [Outro - Call & Response] Leader: Who’s watching the food? All: We are! Leader: Who’s guarding the future? All: We are! All: Wake up and survive… we’re still human.
