Stay woke 

Stay woke means to understand the real world and to look everything and think twice because things can change in a second, to look deep and know what to permanently take something into your life, to know everything that’s fake or sus around you and to know when to cut people off .

Two faced people all around, people need to stay woke about it .

Stay Woke 

First used in 1938 by Huddie William Ledbetter ‘Lead Belly’ in Scotsboro Boys. The phrase was repeated, by a union official, in 1940 to J Saunders Redding, who used it in an academic article in 1942. When Redding wrote “stay woke”, he meant stay alert for injustice, discrimination, prejudice, unfairness, to anyone, irrespective of race, colour, religion, sexual orientation or anything else.

When Redding said "Stay Woke!" He meant is as an injunction, a wake-up call, not the entry to a club or a fashion accessory.

Deriving from "stay awake," to stay woke is to keep informed of the shitstorm going on around you in times of turmoil and conflict, specifically on occasions when the media is being heavily filtered- such as the events in Ferguson Missouri in August 2014.

The headlines say they looted McDonald's, but they won't tell you about the tear gas the police threw at the crowds, or the fact that they needed the milk from the McDonald's to treat the effects of it. Stay woke.

Stay woke 

Phrase used to make sure people around you are aware of reality like the fact that the moon landing was faked or the fact the 9/11 was a government conspiracy or the fact the communists still run around the U.S.

Woke person: Are you a communist?
Unwoke person: What?
Woke person: That sounds like something a communist would say. stay woke.

Wake up from the bullshit you're speaking. Say this when someone is obviously talking out of their ass.
