Revolution |
| Brothers and sisters |
| Let me share with you some news |
| As I sit on my plush couch |
| Watching the news |
| There has been a rude awakening |
| That I have marched until my feet have bled |
| And I have rioted until they called the feds |
| What’s left |
| My conscience said |
| What’s left |
| My conscience said |
| As I look out my window |
| I see the little ones |
| Playing amongst each other |
| With their waterguns |
| In pure poverty |
| Generations of good people |
| In cycles of poverty |
| It bothers me, so I ask myself |
| I say, «Are you doing as much as you can for the struggle?» |
| (no) |
| «Am I doing as much as I can for the struggle? |
| (no) |
| Then why do I cry when |
| My people are in trouble (yo) |
| My ancestors slapped me |
| In the face and said (go) |
| Harriet Tubman |
| Told me to get on up |
| Marcus Garvey said the negro |
| You get on up |
| My brother Malcolm X… |
| Need I name more? |
| It ain’t like we never |
| Seen blood before |
| Come on, let’s talk |
| Revolution, now (revolution) |
| All my people say (revolution) |
| All my brothers say (revolution) |
| All my sisters say (revolution) |
| All my people say (revolution) |
| Hey (revolution) |
| All my people say (revolution) |
| All my people say (revolution) |
| I see blood on one |
| Malcolm as one shot em |
| I see tears cause now it |
| Seems that we forgot him |
| I seen years of people |
| Searching for solutions |
| Restitution, excuses |
| No more, no more confusion! |
| Come on, come on |
| Let’s talk right, let’s talk right |
| Talk up, talk up, but |
| Don’t talk up all night! |
| There’s got to be action |
| If you want satisfaction |
| If not for yourself |
| For the young ones |
| (The children) |
| The U.N., The U. S |
| We can’t allow you |
| To tell us a kid in the ghetto |
| Is not as important as |
| A kid in Bosnia |
| I ain’t with it (uh huh) |
| Just forget it (no) |
| You can’t even debate |
| If you don’t understand |
| Our situation (come on) |
| You don’t want us to go |
| Get a gun now, do you? |
| You don’t like to see |
| People running around now |
| Yet and still you wanna |
| Live like 9-Oh-2−1-Oh |
| While we scream out |
| (Yo) freedom |
| Five grandmothers ago |
| They erased it |
| We must acquire a taste for |
| Something we’ve never tasted |
| So, people, let us |
| Wet our palates (word) |
| It’s either the bullet or the ballot |
| Come now (whoo) |
| Revolution now (revolution) |
| All my people say (revolution) |
| All my brothers say (revolution) |
| All my sisters say (revolution) |
| Hey (revolution) |
| All my people say (revolution) |
| Let’s talk about a Revolution |
| All my people say (revolution) |
| All my people say |
| Let’s talk about a revolution |
| Hey (revolution) |
| (Revolution) (revolution) |
| (Revolution) (revolution)… |
| Now, see, I understand |
| What my people have said |
| They tell me to fight |
| Fight for the ancestors |
| Who are dead |
| For Harriet Tubman |
| Move organization |
| David Walker |
| The Black Panthers |
| Kwame Nkrumah |
| Marcus Garvey, Jane Pittman |
| Revolution |
| (Revolution) (revolution) |
| (Revolution) (revolution)… |
