**Verse 1:** I remember when it meant to be aware Staying informed, showing care For justice and equality, for human rights too It was a word that we used to break through But then they took it, twisted it around Now it's used to silence us, to shut our mouths down **Pre-Chorus:** But we won't be fooled, we won't be tamed We'll take back what's ours, and claim our name The word "woke" was never theirs to own It's time for the truth to be shown **Chorus:** Taking back the narrative, we are all woke now Reclaiming our power, standing tall somehow No more hijacking, no more lies We're taking back our wokeness, and we won't compromise **Verse 2:** From Colin Kaepernick to Kendrick Lamar too They used their platforms to speak truth anew But now it's watered down, a meaningless phrase Used to belittle, to shame and to amaze At how far off we are from what it truly means But we won't be fooled, no more than we can scheme **Pre-Chorus:** We'll rise above the noise, we'll shine so bright With knowledge, love, and unity in sight No more division, no more strife Taking back our word, taking back our life **Chorus:** Taking back the narrative, we are all woke now Reclaiming our power, standing tall somehow No more hijacking, no more lies We're taking back our wokeness, and we won't compromise **Chorus:** Taking back the narrative, we are all woke now Reclaiming our power, standing tall somehow No more hijacking, no more lies We're taking back our wokeness, and we won't compromise **Bridge:** We'll speak up, we'll be loud, we'll make some noise For justice, for equality, for the truth to rejoice We'll educate, we'll elevate, we'll inspire a change Taking back our narrative, rearranging the range **Chorus:** Taking back the narrative, we are all woke now Reclaiming our power, standing tall somehow No more hijacking, no more lies We're taking back our wokeness, and we won't compromise **Outro:** So let's take back what's ours, let's make it clear The true meaning of "woke" is love, not fear With unity and strength, we'll shine so bright Taking back our narrative, everything's alright. **Chorus:** Taking back the narrative, we are all woke now Reclaiming our power, standing tall somehow No more hijacking, no more lies We're taking back our wokeness, and we won't compromise **Chorus:** Taking back the narrative, we are all woke now Reclaiming our power, standing tall somehow No more hijacking, no more lies We're taking back our wokeness, and we won't compromise **Chorus:** Taking back the narrative, we are all woke now Reclaiming our power, standing tall somehow No more hijacking, no more lies We're taking back our wokeness, and we won't compromise
