Your Revolution |
Yeah yeah, yeah this goes out to all the women and men from New York to |
London to LA to Tokyo struggling to keep their self-respect in this climate |
Of misogyny, money worship and mass production of hip-hop's illegitimate child |
Hip-Pop.And this especially goes out to Gil Scott-Heron, friend, living legend |
And proto-rapper who wrote «The Revolution will not be Televised.» |
Much Respect |
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs |
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs |
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs |
Not happen between these thighs |
Not happen between these thighs |
The real revolution ain’t about booty size |
The Versaces you buys, or the Lexus you drives |
And though we’ve lost Biggie Smalls |
Baby your notorious revolution |
Will never allow you to lace no lyrical douche, in my bush |
Your revolution will not be killing me softly, with Fugees |
Your revolution ain’t gonna knock me up without no ring |
And produce little future emcees |
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs |
Your revolution will not find me in the backseat of a jeep |
With LL, hard as hell, you know doin it and doin it and doin it well |
Doin it and doin it and doin it well, nah come on now |
Your revolution will not be you smacking it up, flipping it, or rubbing it down |
Nor will it take you downtown or humpin around |
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs |
Your revolution will not have me singing, ain’t no nigga like the one I got |
And your revolution will not be sending me for no drip, drip VD shot |
And your revolution will not involve me, feelin your nature rise |
Or helping you fantasize |
Because that revolution will not happen between these thighs |
No no, not between these thighs |
Oh, my Jamican brother, your revolution will not make you feel bombastic |
And really fantastic |
And have you groping in the dark for that rubber wrapped in plastic |
You will not be touching your lips to my triple dip of french vanilla |
Butter pecan, chocolate delux |
Or having Akinyele’s dream, m-hmm a 6-foot blowjob machine m-hmm |
You want to subjugate your queen? |
uh-huh |
Think I’m a put it in my mouth, just cuz you made a few bucks? |
Please brother please |
Your revolution will not be me tossing my weave |
And making me believe I’m some caviar-eating ghetto mafia clown |
Or me giving up my behind, just so I can get signed |
And maybe having somebody else write my rhymes |
I’m Sarah Jones, not Foxy Brown |
You know I’m Sarah Jones, not Foxy Brown |
Your revolution makes me wonder, where could we go |
If we could drop the empty pursuit of props and ego |
We’d revolt back to our Roots, use a little Common Sense |
On a quest to make love De La Soul, no pretense |
But your revolution will not be you flexing your little sex and status |
To express what you feel |
Your revolution will not happen between these thighs |
Will not happen between these thighs |
Will not be you shaking and me *yawn* faking |
Between these thighs |
Because the real revolution, that’s right I said the real revolution |
You know I’m talking about the revolution |
When it comes, it’s gonna be real |
It’s gonna be real |
It’s gonna be real |
When it finally comes |
When it finally comes |
It’s gonna be real, yeah yeah |
