Macka B Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome
This is your wake up call
Time to wake up your mind
Open your eyes and realize

Wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up

Wake up
It's the wake up time
Time to wake up your mind

Wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up

Wake up
It's the wake up call
Wake up one and all

You have always made the difference
So go out and take your place
Just wake up and realize
Wake up, get up, get up

Realize that most of the things you believe in
Are out there for you somewhere
Just wake up and realize
Wake up, get up, get up

Realize that you’re just the song on the whistling wind
And learning as you grow
Get up
There are so many things you’ll never know

So when you’re all alone and you’re hurting
There is someone else somewhere
Jah knows
Sharing a lonely feelings of this bag, just a

Say we call me a bag bag
Time to use a egg, egg
And get off the bed, bed
Mind the while you’re dressed, dressed

Time to rise, open your eyes wide
Hear my cry comin’ into your eyes wide
Time to wake, you’ve had your break, mate
It’s after eight, get into shape, weigh

Co-ordinate and time to get your mind straight
In yourself and in the father, you’ll feel faith

Your just a son whose been driving
Outside of town and spins
Rise and shine
I need you to go on out and find your place

So when you realize you will feel it
Deep down inside your soul, Jah know
Success will come to you but before you go

Instead of looking out, you should be looking within
Wake up your mind and soul and free yourself from sin
Acknowledge the Father that created the king
And every morning when you wake say your prayer to him

You’re exercising your butt, be exercising your limb
Mi say you down in the gym, keeping yourself in trim
Just remember that your mind is the greatest thing
It’s like you’re servicing your car without doing anything

Well gentleman, don’t you believe there is something
Or someone who controls
Just wake up and realize
Wake up, get up, get up

So then place your faith in yourself and the most high
Rastafari
So that you can reach your goal
Just wake up and realize
Wake up, get up, get up

And mi tell them wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up

Wake up
It's the wake up time
Time to wake up your mind

Wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up

Wake up
It's the wake up call
Said wake up one and all

Said that if you wake up
Everything is not what it seems
Mi said you wake up
Some people live in a dream

And mi said wake up
All of this is part of a scheme
Life shouldn’t revolve
Around a TV screen

And mi said
Wake up off your sleep
And mi said wake up
Open your mind and peep

And mi said wake up
Realize the power you off
Set up your phone line with Almighty God

And mi said wake up
Then start using your brain
And mi said wake up
Fling away the damn cocaine

And mi said wake up
‘Cause it’s time for a change
And mi said wake up
Yes, me a go and tell you again

And mi said wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Wake up
Get up, get up, get up, get up

Wake up




It's the wake up call
Said wake up one and all
