Another version of the above song. This one was done to entice youth to vote during Obamas election year. Still rings true! Here are two verses from the song [Verse 5: Jadakiss] Set a goal put a plan up here. We gotta stand up here. Give thanks to the man up stairs. Put the egos and the prides to the side regardless, And just be role models, parents, and artists. We can make a change or make it the hardest. If you gonna make a baby, you should make him the smartest. Let him know good from bad, right from wrong; How to roll wit the punches when life moves on. And the stress wont take toll if you dont sweat it. World wont get no betta if we dont let it. Let the negative energy ride; Keep hope alive its bout time we open our eyes. Wake up. [Hook: Jahiem] Wake everybody no more sleepin in bed. No more backwards thinkin time for thinkin ahead. The world has changed so very much from what it used to be. Theres so much hatred, war, and poverty. [Verse 6: Missy Elliot] Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Wake up Yup, well, y,all besta vote. I dont care about the guns you tote. Listen to me like you listen to Fahrenheit 9/11. Aint no time for the second guess, The words I speak (Wake up), The ones who sleep, now leave the ships; fix your mouth to teach. MCs, teach the kids whats peace. They dont have to worry bout the police. We make em rich so they dont have to be a thief. Every artist here on this track; (Ho!) Well make a change here for young cats. (Ho!) This is for everybody, white or black. You betta go and vote, and get up off yo back. (Wake up) https://youtube/watch?v=bWADVDHPK24
