Revolt
The Revolution was never televised
Because the ones that was meant to take part in the March
Got their cameras ready but were busy making money for their
Self-greed their "self-worth"
IT takes a village to raise a child
And it takes a nation standing together to be heard
Otherwise what's the point when we're just following the money
Shepherding money not for the herd but for a single crab
Now I hear you shout
WHAT WERE YOU DOING TO MAKE IT TO THE REVOLUTION?
I'm not gonna lie I was "trying" to make money but I wasn't happy
As my soul is never happy just getting the money to live like the rest of the crabs
I was at one March, camera at the ready banner shots, Black lives matter
But I couldn't just shoot and stay invisible to the chatter
One young brother - face to face with a pawn in uniform
Shouting abuse at the man behind the Formation Overseer line
The Overseers, overseer, Officer - brought down from country
He'll definitely admit he never grew up with one single Black, BLACK Friend
I already saw the move
Knight takes Bishop
I shouted you're a King brother don't leave your throne
And start shouting abuse at the pawn brother
Gather your wealth, stay on top of your health, BROTHER
How old are you brother?
21 yeah - then you have time on your side brother
Economic and Educational wealth, political stealth
Televised on our OWN network, BROTHER
Know your net worth
Don't have all the Kings and Queen on the front line, BROTHER
There's mans in the ends that are front line all day brother
This is war and them man know what their fighting for
Build a General, lead an Army
Everybody take your positions
Front line mandem
Educators, poets, Griots, Akalas
Political leaders the Toyin Agbetus, Pastors, Imams
Kings and Queens shout the order
Let's take what we own back
The Revolution will be televised
Camera action
The revolution is NOW
Because the ones that was meant to take part in the March
Got their cameras ready but were busy making money for their
Self-greed their "self-worth"
IT takes a village to raise a child
And it takes a nation standing together to be heard

Shepherding money not for the herd but for a single crab
