THE REVOLUTION (Radio Edit)
We must rebel to stay alive
The revolution will not be televised
Yeah, they paint the streets with our blood
Another mother weeping for her son we had enough
And maybe if we burn it all down you'll get the picture
That racism victimizes and traps us in a system
You need to protect you put your knee in his neck
Now we need to reflect how does freedom select those
Who gets to live who gets to die
When darker skin is scrutinized when the system keeps on telling lies
It feels it feels like being black is suicide
So tell me what I got to lose
I still lose my life if I follow the rules
So now it's time to break em asa lama lakem
A man rest in his dreams to see how far they take him
But we won't wage war we take the higher road
We know knowledge is power we make portfolios
We know to break the system
We gotta infiltrate it to make our own
We gotta rise up it's time that we take it
We gotta rise up this is our mentality
We gotta make a change this is our reality
We have nothing to fear the revolutions here
Put a fist in the air
The revolutions here
Everything we worked for
Everything we fought for
Right here and now
We gotta find ourselves
We gotta find ourselves
We must rebel to stay alive
The revolution will not be televised
Yeah best believe we getting what we came for
And if we all free our minds we can change more
If it's the human race than we must run together
And we must take our place we know it's now or never
We gonna change this generation we riding forever
No more hate no more pain no more racial distain
This a race we gotta keep on running
And we're ready for your hurdles you can keep them coming
We'll never lose focus we'll keep hoping that these times will change
It's time that we rewrite history
It's time that we turn the page!
This an anthem for the fighters the ones seeking change
So we can't give up now we can't play no games
We have nothing to fear the revolutions here
The revolutions is here it is time that we rebel!
The revolution will not be televised
Yeah, they paint the streets with our blood
Another mother weeping for her son we had enough
And maybe if we burn it all down you'll get the picture
That racism victimizes and traps us in a system
You need to protect you put your knee in his neck
Now we need to reflect how does freedom select those
Who gets to live who gets to die
When darker skin is scrutinized when the system keeps on telling lies
It feels it feels like being black is suicide
So tell me what I got to lose
I still lose my life if I follow the rules
So now it's time to break em asa lama lakem
