John Legend & The Roots - Wake Up Everybody

[John Legend]
Wake up everybody
No more sleepin' in bed
No more backward thinkin'
Time for thinkin' ahead

The world has changed
So very much
From what it used to be
There is so much hatred
War and poverty, whoa, oh

[Melanie Fiona]
Wake up, all the teachers
Time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen
To what'cha have to say

'Cause they're the ones who's coming up
And the world is in their hands
When you teach the children
Teach 'em the very best you can

[Chorus - John Legend & Melanie Fiona]
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, na, na, na
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me

[John Legend]
Wake up, all the doctors
Make the old people well
They're the ones who suffer
And who catch all the hell

But they don't have so very long
Before the Judgment Day
So wont'cha make them happy
Before they pass away

[Melanie Fiona]
Wake up, all the builders
Time to build a new land
I know we can do it
If we all lend a hand

The only thing we have to do
Is put it in our mind
Surely things will work out
'Cause they do every time

[Chorus - John Legend & Melanie Fiona]
The world won't get no better
If we just let it be, na, na, na
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah
Just you and me

[Bridge Rap - Common]
It's the God hour, the morning I wake up,
just for the breath of life I thank my maker,
my mom say I come from hustlers and shakers,
my mind builded on skyscrapers and acres,
he said take us back to where we belong,
I try to write a song as sweet as the Psalms,
though I am the type to bear arms and wear my heart on my sleeve,
even when I fell in God I believe,
we the days at,
weave through the maze and the season so amazing,
feed them and raise them,
seasons are asian,
earthquakes, wars and rumors,
I want us to get by but we more then consumers,
we more than shooters,
more than looters,
created in his image,
so God live through us,
and even in his generation living through computers
on love, love, love can reboot us

[Outro]
Wake up, everybody
Wake up, everybody
Need a little help, y'all
Yes I do, need a little help

Need a little help, y'all ay
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody
Wake up everybody

When i met him, i learned to love, i learn how to caring other, to think about other person besides my own self.

Dulu ak pikir kenapa orang harus ngerasain cinta kalo pada akhirna bakal berhenti di tengah jalan, bakal putus, bakal cerai, kenapa harus ngerasai jatuh cinta klo pada akhirna harus ngerasain luka, makannya aku ga mau membuka diri buat orang lain dari dulu, kecuali untuk teman dan keluargaku, till i met him. Semua na berubah, aku yang susah membuka diri jadi nyaman buat cerita apa aja ke dia, apaa aja. Awalnya dia curhat kalo dia habis putus sama pacarnya, lama” kita keterusan chat di ym, sms an, telpon”an, yah begitu” aja, tapi dari situ ak ngerasa nyaman sama dia, i don’t care who he is, but who i am when i am with him.

Mungkin kami terlalu cepat untuk menamai hubungan kami sebagai sepasang kekasih, dan mungkin itulah yg membuat kami ga bertahan lama, karena kami belum terlalu mengenal pribadi masing”. Satu hal yg aku tau dari dia hanya dia sayang ak dan ak pun sayang dia. Tapi setelah 2 bulan kami saling mengenal semuanya berubah, sayang aja ga cukup , butuh lebih dari sayang untuk menjalin suatu hubungan, butuh komitmen, pengertian, kesetiaan dan kemauan untuk berubah, bukan berubah untuk jadi apa yg pasangan kita mau, tapi berubah untuk kebaikan masing”.

Ga gampang untuk menyatukan dua pola pikir yg berbeda, dua pandangan yg berbeda, dan dua tujuan hidup yg berbeda, disini semuanya ga bisa dipaksakan. ak ga bisa memaksa dia untuk mengikuti jalan hidupku, dan aku juga ga mau keseret cara hidupna, semua bener” ga bisa dipaksakan. Kata orang, cinta bisa merubah segalanya, aku bingung, apa kami emang ga terlalu cinta satu sama lain sampai kami ga mau merubah semua na, atau emang ungkapan itu cuma bullsh*t aja. Kadang cinta emang kadang buta, tapi logika yg membuka mata kita.

Orang bilang kalo kita jatuh cinta orang yg kita cintai terlihat sempurna. Lalu ketika suatu hari dia illfeel karena perkataan pasanganna which is membuat pasanganna ga perfect lagi dimatanya itu artina dia udah ga cinta lagi kan? trus apa yg harus dipertahankan dari suatu hubungan kalo ga ada cinta disana. buat apa dipertahankan kalo emang udah ga perduli satu sama lain.

Mungkin dulu aku terlalu takut untuk sakit hati sampe ak ga membuka hati buat siapa pun, tapi aku tau sekarang, mending pernah merasakan cinta terus sakit hati daripada kita ga pernah merasakannya sama sekali.

*asking me to ain’t care for you is just the same with asking me to ain’t loving you.
