[Wyclef Jean] 
Ay, wake up, wake up
You've got the power, you've got...
My people in the east, yo, you gotta wake up
Midwest, Dirty South, yo, you gotta stand up
All my homies in the west, yo, you gotta wake up
Ay, Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

[Jon B.]
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Oh, let's wake up now
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

[Wyclef Jean]
Wake up, wake up

[Mary J. Blige]
Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed
No more backwards thinking
Time for thinking ahead
The world has changed so very much
From what it used to be
There is so much hatred, war and poverty

[Monica]
Wake up all the teachers, time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen to what you have to say

[Claudette Ortiz]
Cause they're the ones who's coming up
The world is in their hands
When you teach the children, teach 'em the very best you can

[Eve]
Scream peace, do we mean it
Can you feel it when we scream it out loud
Do you believe that we need it
Do you believe that it could get right
Do you believe that the children of the world deserve a good life
Well if you do, it's time to wake up your mind
We can make it better and I know it might take some time
But we gotta start somewhere
How about with you and me
From us equals the others then we'll have our unity

[Musiq Soulchild]
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 judgement day
So won't you make them happy before they pass away

[Ashanti]
Wake up all the builders, time to build a new land
I know we can do it, long as we lend a hand
The only thing we have to do is put it in our minds
And surley things will work out cause they...

[Faith Evans]
Do it everytime

[Fabolous]
I ain't here to take up y'all time
I came to shake up y'all mind
It's everybody's wake up call time
I can't sleep too long while they do the people wrong
Let's clean the world up before the sweep you gone
This is real talk, you can peep through songs
So when you feel week these words will keep you strong
And help make a change for the better
It's hard for one to do it but we can make some changes together

[Brandy]
Hey...

[*all*] (Brandy adlibs)
The world won't get no better 
If we just let it be 
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah, you and me
The world won't get no better 
If we just let it be
The world won't get no better
We gotta change it, yeah, you and me

[Jadakiss]
Set a goal, put a plan up here
You gotta stand up here
Give thanks to the man upstairs
Put the egos and the pride to the side regardless
And just be role models, parents, artists
We can make a change or we can make it the hardest
If you gon' make a baby you should make him the smartest
Let him know good and bad and right from wrong
How to roll with the punches when life moves on
And the stress won't take toll if you don't sweat it
The world won't get no better if we don't let it
Let the negative engergy ride, keep hope alive
It's about time that we open our eyes, wake up

[Jahiem]
Wake up everybody, no more sleeping in bed
No more backward thinking, time for thinking ahead
The world has changed so very much from what it used to be
There's so much hatred, war, and poverty

[Missy Elliott]
Wooo! (ho!)
Yep, we all best to vote
I don't care about the guns you tote
Listen to me like you listen to Fahrenheit 9/11
Ain't no time for the second guessin'
The words I speak (wake up!)
The ones who sleep
The leadership fix your mouth to teach
MC's teach the kids what's peace
They don't have to worry about the police
We make a voice so they don't have to thief
Every artist here on this track (ho!)
Will make a change here for young cats (ho!)
This is for everybody white or black
You better go and vote and get up off your back

[Floetry]                                        		[*all*]
This life it rolls on						Wake up everybody, no more sleeping
Lift your head, lift your voice up				Wake up everybody, no more sleeping
You see the power of the people is the choice to ignite love	Wake up everybody, no more sleeping
Now the choice is a gift that our people have to fight for	Wake up everybody, time for thinking, thinking
And the price is far too personal for anyone to ignore		Wake up everybody, no more sleeping
A voice to be heard						Wake up everybody, no more sleeping
Take the opportunity, the responsibility, yeah			Wake up everybody, no more sleeping
Your voice has to be heard					Wake up everybody, time for thinking, thinking
Save the world, save the world					(repeats through rest of song)
