Brandon Waugh - (Stay Awake) Tonight lyrics

[Verse 1:] Yo The economy's in a ditch And our beautiful country's at war The 99% are protesting the 1% rich And I'm thinking we need Jesus now more than ever People are fightin' for they meals, man this is major Rioting and looting, it's pandemonium through out a so called Christian nation We need to get this city on it's knees and stop the dictation Cause without representation, there's no taxation It takes some simple communication to get into Heaven Talk to God and ask for forgiveness Once you repent, yo you will be blessed When you live for Him you get the best, nothing less And that's what this country needs all across, from East to West Don't matter who you are, white or black, color is not restricted You can be sober or addicted He will still use you for things far greater than you can imagine Yo you can't run from God so why the distraction? I saw your reaction when I first mentioned Him You acted like Jonah but this album ain't Nineveh So why do you continue to run from my rhymes? And you know, life ain't cinema [Hook:] Stand together and fight the good fight Brothers and sisters, stand up and join hands tonight As long as we stick with God, everything will be alright Keep an eye out for snakes, they'll try and break So act like a little kid on Christmas, and just stay awake! [Verse 2:] By now I'm sure you're all thinking "How can a young emcee, only 15, see the things that we see?" It's elementary, I read my Bible while I chill and watch the evening news I stand tall with my family, blood related or not, and know it's a blessing just to be livin' Cause we know that God has plans for us, each and every just like Simon Birch Learned that one at church, had it preached Turned it around and used it in my verse Now pay attention, because things are gonna get worse It just seems like this nation's been cursed with a curse But you know since our birth we've all been the same, God's children each and every one of us We claim to be Christians and yet here's what confuses me We segregate blacks and discriminate gays And even on the Lord's day we can't even make way for us to obey Him Nah, our Christianity is just something made up for display Throughout all our insanity we created it, like Chuckie, this is child's play And since it's all play we going downhill People blame it on Capital Hill but what are you doing to make a difference? The dollar bill ain't got no value but you won't go the distance [Hook:] Stand together and fight the good fight Brothers and sisters, stand up and join hands tonight As long as we stick with God, everything will be alright Keep an eye out for snakes, they'll try and break So act like a little kid on Christmas, and just stay awake! [Verse 3:] So this may be it, our last chance to be together The end times are near, the weather gettin' crazy And whether the weather makes a difference in the end, don't matter We just gotta stick together and prepare for battle Don't listen to the world and the lies that they are tellin', ignore the chatter And you don't have time to sleep tonight, the devil we gonna shatter So everyone from New York to Seattle Tell me, are you ready for battle? Yea This country is already fightin' in the Middle East And so many of you are more than ready to join in But when it comes to a religious battle y'all turn yo back sayin' "I ain't a priest!" Yeah so? I'm not a priest either, not in the least But I'm still ready to join capital-H i.m I'll fight 'til the d**h, from the P.M. up 'til the A.M I ain't afraid. And I don't listen to what the Government tells me I don't care that much about fame, that's not why I went into the game It was to be changed and rearranged B-Rabbit's my new Christian name Since I got here after going away And now every day I pray that we can all... [Hook:] Stand together and fight the good fight Brothers and sisters, stand up and join hands tonight As long as we stick with God, everything will be alright Keep an eye out for snakes, they'll try and break So act like a little kid on Christmas, and just stay awake!
