Revolution

The Revolution will not be televised…
Now is the time to Rise Up
Wise up, let the mind stand up
We in a state of crisis, mind paralysis
They want to know what’s the urgency?
It’s a state of emergency
Mental towers being knocked down by media planes
The common sense of the masses locked down in concentration camps
And the ones with the real thoughts being exiled
Told us resistance was futile…
Welcome To America

Open the iris of your ears and observes your surroundings,
Open the eardrums of your eyes and hear your surroundings,

The diamonds we lust for has a whole nation dying,
Infinite bloodshed for wealth…. show me the way to Zion
Indirectly pulling triggers, we mass murdering
Manufacturing future Killers and Drug Dealers
Not enough Doctors and Teachers
Instead we praise the ones who doctor the contracts and deceive the people
A Lawyers mind, the way of the nation, they not working for you or me…their boss’s name is Capitalism…

We kill for fashion, beauty, and sex
When it’s all gone tell me what’s left…
We rocking the latest trends from the sweat shops
Just to say we in on the Hype, and only cop from the best spots
Something in our blood that makes us idolize material possessions
Instead of being wise and investing
The injured heart of a young dark skin girl, who was told her ebony skin wasn’t appealing,
Want her to shed like a snake, gain a lighter complexion
She’s what society calls…Perfection
She got mouths to feed…So by all means necessary, her mentality is X’s philosophy
Showered by Washington, Hamilton, Jackson, and Benjamin
She’s trying to make ends meets…but she’s dying inside
Nobody told her she could do better

So, when it’s all gone tell me what’s left…

For a necklace, somebody went neck less
A mother lost her son, and a brother got reckless
Copped a gun, went searching for people who did it
Two shots fired, a son just lost his father
The police look around and say why bother…this is the cycle of homicide
Open your eyes… Open your eyes
We at War… with ourselves
Africa isn’t the only place with Genocide
Welcome to America
