**Title:** "Reclaiming Woke"

**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
