The song 'Sit Your Woke Ass Down' by BLAIR D points out individuals who claim to fight for change and justice but are hypocritical in their actions. It calls out the need for accountability and true commitment to making a difference, rather than just making noise or pointing fingers.
[Verse 1]
Hey you there, with your finger on the pulse,
Screaming for change, acting all like a cult,
But tell me, who you really fighting for?
Dancing on the edge while ignoring the core.
You wanna take on ice, the shield you despise,
While turning blind eyes to the truth in disguise,
Protecting the criminals, protecting the vile,
Crazy cartels and predators, sit back and smile.
[Chorus]
Sit your woke ass down, can’t you see the game?
You wanna fight the system, but you’re bringing shame,
Calling for defund, who you gonna call?
When the chips are down, you’ll want help after all.
[Verse 2]
Now let’s talk ‘bout authority, the folks in control,
Representatives, governors, losing their soul,
Denying the problems, dismissing the voice,
You think you’re making change with your noise?
Fear in the streets, while they’re grasping for fame,
The truth of the matter, they take no blame.
Honor’s not a word when you put it on a shelf,
You should take a look in the mirror yourself.
[Chorus]
Sit your woke ass down, what’s your plan, oh friend?
You preach for defunding, but you want to depend,
Just lose your nine-one-one privilege in the fight,
Cause when the darkness calls, you might just lose sight.
[Bridge]
I get it, you’re angry; I feel your pain,
But turning on the innocent, ain't breaking the chain.
You gotta step up, or you gotta sit back,
Get your feet on the ground or live in this attack.
[Verse 3]
Now let me break it down, let’s get to the facts,
You wanna change the game while climbing up the tracks,
The mayors and the leaders need a wake-up call,
Sitting on their thrones while the citizens fall.
You allowing the chaos while they pass the blame,
But in this land of the free, we’ve got to reclaim.
No more blind acceptance of their nonsense lies,
I won’t stand for you tearing down the wise.
[Chorus]
Sit your woke ass down, time to reignite,
You want to be the change, then stand up and fight,
But first have the courage to own what you say,
Otherwise, step aside, let the leaders pave the way.
[Outro]
So step up or sit down, that’s the final call,
We’re all in this together, you can rise or you can fall.
But turning on the faithful, that’s not the way to go,
Stand tall for what’s right, or just sit back low.
Our country’s worth fighting for, take back the pride,
In honesty and honor, let’s take a stride.more
